"Shock jocks" are radio show hosts who often use controversial or provocative content to gain attention and increase their audience. However, there are several other terms used to describe these types of personalities. Some refer to them as "outrageous hosts" or "controversial broadcasters," while others use terms like "daring DJs" or "boundary-pushing talkers." Additionally, some may simply use the term "shock radio" to describe the format as a whole. Regardless of the terminology, these hosts often rely on shock value to generate buzz and keep audiences engaged, leading to both loyal followings and detractors who condemn their tactics.
