By sizzling with passion at KSFO Michael Savage Soared to #1 Arbitron ratings among adults 12+ during afternoon drivetime in San Francisco and to be the top talk host in his timeslot in Northern California. Now America is turning to "The Michael Savage Show," on Talk Radio Network.

 

"I guess people love my show because of my hard edge combined with humor and education," he says. "Those who listen to me say they hear a bit of Plato, Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, Moses, Jesus, and Frankenstein. I pull many of my life experiences, including that of father, son, husband, brother, ice cream factory worker, busboy, lifeguard, writer, scientist, and my huge library of books." Listeners also hear top-flight guests and, in keeping with the fact that talk hosts attract the audience they deserve, listeners hear literate callers with intelligence, wit, and energy.

An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science. Along with his book The Savage Nation and CD Best of The Savage Nation, he is author of the book "Herbs That Heal" and 17 other books.

Savage created the phrase "Compassionate Conservative" in 1994. Savage has used this concept in his radio program, as the title of his book, and in conducting the first of four hugely successful Compassionate Conservative Conventions bearing that name in 1995. Savage has consistently drawn sold-out audiences to hear him live. For Savage, these words describe a "firewall of balance" that limits how far to the right his opinions go.

The word Compassion means "with feeling," and that's the magnetic attraction Michael Savage has proven he has by pulling top numbers in one of America's biggest trend-setting markets. Give your audience a chance to hear why for the past two years Talkers Magazine named Savage as one of America's top talk radio hosts. He knows how to explore issues, entertain, stimulate, and promote in ways that boost the ratings and profits of every station lucky enough to carry him.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder: The Savage Solution
In his first two books, radio sensation Michael Savage offered a blistering attack on the erosion of America’s values. Now, in the third installment of his bold and biting trilogy, he offers provocative yet practical ways to reclaim our social, political, and cultural integrity. Through a compelling narrative of current trends and events, Savage chronicles the continued assault on the sacred pillars of American life (the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Ten Commandments, the Sanctity of Marriage) by the High Priests of Ultra-Liberalism and provides the remedy for freedom-loving Americans to effectively medicate the mental disease of modern liberalism and restore America’s former brilliance. In each chapter, the Savage Spotlight of Truth casts its brilliant light on the tactics used by liberals to spread their leftist agenda and follows it with a dose of specific actions, arguments, and activism that the reader can ingest to counter the radical left. After all, as Savage said in The Savage Nation, America’s best days are in front of her, if we have the guts to face the truth and apply ourselves to repairing the foundation upon which this blessed nation was formed.

Michael Savage's Success
The phenomenal success of Michael Savage, the nation’s third most listened to radio host, heard on 450 stations nationwide, can’t be easily explained.
But the effect is clear and powerful.

Savage has not only caught fire nationwide from the epicenter of his San Francisco Bay Area home station KNEW, he has sent shock waves through the liberal media establishment.

Once ignored, they have to pay attention to him now.

With two New York Times best selling books, his latest “The Enemy Within,” Savage has demonstrated his influence is much broader than his syndicated radio with Talk Radio Network.

Though many liberals can't figure out why, Savage says he thinks he has the answer to his remarkable success: It's because he's "different" than other conservatives.

"If you turn on other conservative talk, all you hear is 'Bush great, Kerry bad. Republicans wonderful, Democrats evil,'" he told NewsMax. "How much of that can you listen to?“

Though definitely a conservative (he first coined the term “compassionate conservatism”), Savage says he believes the reason why he is so popular – and has had the fastest growing show in talk radio history – is because he doesn't "carry the water for Republicans" or anyone else.

"I'm a registered Independent," says Savage, who also has a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley.

For Savage, independent means there are no sacred cows in the cultural, societal and political wars. Independent means taking on third rail issues that even many conservatives avoid.

Savage summarizes the “big three” issues on his radar screen like a mantra: culture, language, borders. “I'm very straightforward, blunt, brazen, in-your-face. People need that. They can't take the nuanced, gray-zone anymore," Savage says.

And his show is about to get even more popular. Listeners Want Their Savage!
