Steve Post began his radio career at the age of ten using his father's Webcor tape recorder and employing such noms d'air as Luke Warm and Paige Turner. That of course was childhood fantasy with no audience but himself. In the 1960's, however, childhood fantasy blended seamlessly with adult fantasy when Steve became host of The Outside on WBAI at midnight on weekends, expanding his audience several fold. Steve remained a regular in a variety of time slots until he left to become newscaster at WBLS, a position he held for fifteen minutes. Or as best he can remember.

Steve Post joined WNYC twenty years ago as WNYC 93.9 FM's Morning Music host, replacing the popular and beloved Robert J. Lurtzema, since deceased. Steve immediately introduced important changes to the show, changes that included banning Pachelbel's Canon, introducing the world's most biased newscast, and beginning an unremitting attack on authority of all kinds. (Steve comes by such mistrust honestly, having himself served as general manager of Pacifica Radio's WBAI in New York City and C.W. Post College's WCWP, wherever it is.)

Steve Post has also narrated numerous books-on-tape and is the author of Playing in the FM Band, now a collector's item. (Indeed, Steve has collected almost 4,900 of the 5,000 in print.)

Steve Post was born in The Bronx and attended DeWitt Clinton High School where he was beaten regularly for being a smart mouth. His wife, Laura Rosenberg, is an artist's rep for unspeakably obscure Mittel-European concert violinists named Vlad. Together, they reside on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

The No Show is a production of WNYC Radio in New York. Steve Post is The No Show.
