Howard Stern, Genealogist

It seems that shock jock Howard Stern is a bit of a genealogist. Daniel Klein recently wrote about Stern's on-the-air description of his efforts at finding more information about his ancestry. He described his oral history interview of his parents, Ben and Rae.

I don't know if Howard Stern is an experienced genealogist or not, but he certainly is an expert interviewer. I am not a fan but I would love to listen to Howard Stern's description of how he conducted the interview. However, if it has been recorded, I am unaware of where it can be found.
