The only coverage that was lackluster was the addressing of Allison, Howard’s now ex-wife. She played a major role on the show, and apparently due to legal issues, she could not be mentioned. (Her name barely even made it out, only being uttered once or twice the entire special).

Overall it was terrific, I hope we see more great programming in the future from the tapes team. I still don’t see why they could not have worked on Master Tape Theater simultaneously though.

I really don’t like repeats,  but I do think if anything is worthy of a repeat, it has to be the History Of Howard Stern. I think these specials are produced very well, and are very interesting to listen to. They really pulled a lot of material out of the closet and were able to contact an amazing amount of people to interview.  I think thats one of the best parts. They were actually able to interview people that Howard referenced in the past, or were with him when it happened. Listening to the show from day to day, its hard to tell whats truth and whats fluff, but having some people actually back up the stories is great, and puts things into perspective.  The music is so fitting also, it really makes the whole production fit together.  So I guess I’m kinda glad they are doing this material again, because I missed a lot of it last time.
