“RADIO IS DEAD. NOT DYING. DEAD.”
Alan “Brother Wease” Levin knows what he’s talking about, after a ratings-topping career that earned him a spot in the National Radio Hall of Fame.
Now, in his unfiltered memoir, “At Ease with Brother Wease: The Last Great American Disc Jockey Recalls When Radio Was Fun,” by Alan “Brother Wease” Levin and Marshall Fine. Brother Wease talks about his unlikely radio career, which didn’t happen until he was almost 40. With his trademark uncensored humor, Wease tells the stories that made him a radio star:
• How he became the only morning man in America to defeat Howard Stern
• How he volunteered to go to Vietnam, then re-upped for multiple tours
• How he got his nickname, as a would-be juvenile delinquent
The humor and candor that made Brother Wease a radio star come through on the page as he goes deep in “At Ease with Brother Wease: The Last Great American Disc Jockey Recalls When Radio Was Fun,” by Alan “Brother Wease” Levin and Marshall Fine.
