The first of these was taking on the inimitable task of turning the world's most visual brand, Playboy, into something viable in the world's least visual medium, radio. The endless drudgery of having to spend countless evenings at The Playboy Mansion parties, of recording Bill Cosby, Etta James, Elvis Costello at the Playboy Jazz Festival, having celebrities like Carmen Electra, Donald Trump, Fleetwood Mac come in the studio, hanging at the Super Bowl with Warren Moon and Lil John was exhausting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are his stories...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrell Hirsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626014582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626014589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverdale Avenue Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Farrell Hirsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652393267455,"sku":"9781626014589","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d10eafe8-a97c-4998-b553-0f342c7eb4ba.jpg?v=1704215889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-i-learned-from-50-farrell-hirsch-9781626014589","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
