A half-hour comedy/drama series revolving around radio talk sensation Barry Gold, Shock Jock follows his move from the country to the big smoke and his phenomenal rise to pop icon. Set behind the scenes of a city radio station, CHAT AM, Shock Jock is an off-beat, irreverent ensemble comedy paying homage to the infamous world of talk-back. Set in the mid-80s—a time of greed, high-flying egos and great music.
