Anthony Cumia is a prominent American shock jock, podcaster, and broadcaster, renowned for his provocative style and outspoken views. He is the founder and host of *The Anthony Cumia Show*, which airs on the online video platform Compound Media. Cumia initially rose to fame as the co-host of the *Opie and Anthony* radio show, alongside Gregg “Opie” Hughes, which captivated audiences from 1995 to 2014 with its irreverent humor and candid discussions.

In 2014, Cumia’s career faced a significant turning point when he was fired by SiriusXM Radio following a series of controversial tweets. These tweets, which included racially charged comments in response to an incident involving a Black woman, sparked widespread backlash and led to his departure from the network. Following this tumultuous period, Cumia launched *The Anthony Cumia Show*, showcasing his distinct comedic style and ability to engage with a dedicated audience.

In 2017, Cumia partnered with comedian Artie Lange for *The Artie and Anthony Show*, but after Lange’s departure in 2018, the program returned to its original name. In early 2021, after Dave Landau’s exit, the show evolved back into *The Anthony Cumia Show*, further solidifying Cumia’s influence in the podcasting world.

Expanding his reach, Cumia launched a second show, *Compound Censored*, on March 31, 2021, co-hosted with Gavin McInnes, co-founder of Vice Media. The show combines elements from both Cumia’s platform and McInnes’ subscription network, Censored.TV, continuing Cumia’s legacy of pushing boundaries in broadcasting while fostering lively and often contentious discussions.
