- Summary:
-
Top radio host Jay-Jay Harvey tells all in these stories of her 22 years at hugely popular radio station The Edge. Jay-Jay Harvey has been at The Edge radio station since it started 22 years ago, helping it to become New Zealand's most popular radio station with nearly half a million listeners...She has been paint balled, pierced, shaved bald, hypnotised, and whatever else was required - all to entertain her listeners. She has married complete strangers (who are all still together), fundraised while sleeping in a shopping mall, interviewed huge stars like Tom Cruise, Lady Gaga & Oprah, been threatened with imprisonment after a prank gone wrong, danced her way to fourth place on Dancing with the Stars, and been naked in public too many times to count!..She takes us behind the scenes of some of the craziest stuff she has done for ratings and lets us peek into her personal journey in radio that includes dobbing in a workmate, numerous job offers, making out at work, changing her name twice, losing a co-host to suicide, working with her husband and fighting depression with a smile on her face...Jay-Jay truly has lived life on The Edge...
