She's raw, she's real, she's Barbara Carlson, the high-flying host of the #1 radio talk show in Minneapolis. Now, this ex-wife of Minnesota's governor is making new waves in the land of 10,000 lakes with an autobiography that boldly mixes all the sex and politics, heartbreak and hilarity that are This Broad's Life. For heaven's sake, how much damage could an overweight, middle-aged woman on Prozac do? Thus, with fair warning, Carlson began her radio show on KSTP, whose call letters, along with a zippered crimson mouth, are tattooed on her right buttock. But long before she began inviting guests into her hot sea--and hot tub--Barbara had lived through the trials of a lifetime of talk-show topics: rape, emotional incest, domestic violence, alcoholism, the death of a child, Valium addiction, and a rocky marriage to the future governor of Minnesota.
