About Vinnie Penn Books
Vinnie Penn has been a voice on Connecticut radio for 30 years. He first hit the WELI airwaves in Fall 1996, only to soon be tapped to co-host Glenn Beck's KC101 morning show in the studio next door, during what turned out to be Beck's final years in Top 40 radio. By 2001 Penn was a regular on Howard Stern (even making broadcasting history by being on with Stern on 9/11). He did a season of VH1's popular series Best Week Ever, while also appearing regularly on Showbiz Tonight, Fox & Friends and Nancy Grace. Vinnie's first non-fiction hardcover, "Guidos Credos", landed on shelves in December 2008, with his second book, "DJ Zom-B & The Ungrateful Dead", released in 2012. His biggest-selling title, though, would be 2018's "Route One Food Run". He returned to CT radio, on 960/WELI, with the weekday morning talk show "The Vinnie Penn Project" in January 2010. It became simulcast on NewsRadio 1410 WPOP (Hartford) in 2015. "The Project" also aired regularly on Boston's legendary WRKO, and even Springfield's WTAG. In 2018 he also began being "the movie guy" for ABC-affiliate WTNH, taping his weekly "At The Movies" segment for Channel 8.
