About this listen

The uncensored and long-awaited life story of radio’s most notorious shock jock, Anthony Cumia.

Today, Anthony Cumia is the co-host of the wildly popular “Anthony Cumia Show,” which live-streams to a huge following of paid subscribers; however, Anthony is most well-known from the legendary, nationally syndicated “Opie and Anthony Show.” Permanently Suspended is an all-access pass to the controversial mayhem that ensued on-and-off the air.

A must-listen for all diehard O&A fans, Permanently Suspended finally answers the questions that everyone has been waiting for: What really happened between Opie and Anthony? What was the reasoning behind the multiple firings? What prompted the tweeting about the Times Square NYC incident? What is the true account of the controversial allegations? What are the never-before-revealed details of Anthony’s stint in rehab? What does the future hold for his livestream podcast? These questions, and many more, will be answered.

Permanently Suspended is a humorous, no-holds-barred account of the legendary career and life of Anthony Cumia - a blue collar guy who made his dreams come true, rising above all obstacles to become one of the most well-known and successful personalities in radio history.

Good stuff, but I knew pretty much all the anecdotes from listening to the O&A show for years, you could find 90% of the shows with these stories on YouTube right now - I'd still recommend the audiobook.

I was worried about buying this audio book because I’ve listened to Cumia talking for countless hours and thought it might be a waste of money to listen to him talk about things that he’s probably already talked about on radio. I shouldn’t have been worried it was fucking hilarious and covered lots of things from a different angle. Totally worth the money.

Classic Cumia

A lot of stuff in here isn't new if you have listened to O&A. But it does explain why Ant is like he is, whatever you think of him, not everything is black and white/left or right.
