It never gets better, but it does get easier. That's the first thing Roz says to anyone who asks him for advice. Anyone who's fighting like hell, just hanging on or putting the pieces back together. When you're broken, fixed becomes an obsession.
Roz is a multi-platform entertainer and storyteller who hosts three shows a day and sleeps five hours a night. On The Roz & Mocha Show, ET Canada Live and Entertainment Tonight Canada Roz built an audience and turned them into family. But as with most families, there is just some shit we don't talk about.
From growing up in a small town to getting lost, drunk and terrified in New York while interning for The Howard Stern Show; from finding comfort in the arms and beds of strangers to kicking an opioid addiction he didn't know he had; from broken bones to broken hearts and a broken marriage. From navigating grief and guilt following the devastating loss of his father to persevering in the face of an ongoing and private battle with his own body. All is shared in Roz's disarming signature blend of blunt truth and humour.
A Little Bit Broken is a deeply personal and inspiring account of self-forgiveness, redemption and recovering from bad choices—because let's face it, the reason we make bad choices is that they usually feel really good. And Roz has made them all. "This book is the whole story I've never shared before. . . . This is the shit we don’t talk about. Welcome to the family."
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this wonderful and unvarnished memoir, broadcasting legend Roz Weston dishes the dirt on himself—along with a few other famous names. We really loved listening to Weston’s stories about his wild career working simultaneously as an outrageous morning radio DJ and a straitlaced reporter on the family-friendly Entertainment Tonight Canada. But what really stuck with us were his more personal stories about the mental and emotional troubles he’s battled since his teen years. We were particularly moved by Weston’s honest, heartbreaking account of losing his father and his retelling of his emotional proposal to longtime girlfriend Katherine Holland. Weston owns his foibles, which makes even his worst moments feel totally endearing, and he uses his perfect radio voice to build up all the drama and humour of his journey. A Little Bit Broken cracks the glossy surface of celebrity culture, offering a refreshingly real self-portrait.
