Michael Reagan, the eldest son of Ronald Reagan, is heard daily by over 5 million listeners via his nationally syndicated talk radio program, "The Michael Reagan Show." The show airs on over 200 stations in the U.S. and for the world at www.radioamerica.com. His show has turned conventional radio wisdom upside-down, earning stellar ratings by concentrating on substantive national issues, albeit with a healthy dose of Mike's biting humor, wit and warmth. Listeners count on Michael Reagan to pierce the public relations veil that shrouds government and distorts the dominant media's coverage of social and cultural issues. Michael Reagan's radio career began with an appearance as a guest host on Michael Jackson's program from KABC in Los Angeles. Michael Reagan was then host of a top-rated local radio program on San Diego's KSDO before launching his national program in 1992. Prior to launching the national program, Michael Reagan set world records in power-boat racing. His racing raised more than $1.5 million for charities like the United States Olympic Team, Cystic Fibrosis and Juvenile Diabetes Foundations and the Statue of Liberty Restoration Fund. His efforts were recognized when he became a recipient of the "Victor Award" for outstanding sports and humanitarian achievement. Michael Reagan also serves on the board for The John Douglas French Alzheimer's Foundation and has authored many successful books including his best-selling autobiography, "On the Outside Looking In," and "The Common Sense of An Uncommon Man: The Wit, Wisdom and Eternal Optimism of Ronald Reagan." His latest book "Twice Adopted" is based on his personal story.
