Bestselling Author, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host, Political Commentator
Michael Medved Biography
Michael Medved is a nationally syndicated radio host, political commentator and bestselling author.
After several years as a campaign speechwriter and political consultant, Medved wrote his first bestseller at age 26—"What Really Happened to the Class of ’65?", a skeptical reconsideration of the “counterculture” of the 1960s that became a weekly TV series on NBC. Medved’s subsequent books include "The Shadow Presidents", hailed as the definitive history of White House chiefs of staff; "Hollywood vs. America", a stinging indictment of the entertainment industry; and "Right Turns", which tells the story of Medved’s transformation from “punk liberal activist to lovable conservative curmudgeon.” His other notable works "The 10 Big Lies About America" and "The 5 Big Lies About American Business", confront the most common smears against the United States and its free market system. His recent titles, "The American Miracle: Divine Providence in the Rise of the Republic" and "God’s Hand on America: Divine Providence in the Modern Era", explore historical incidents where luck, nature, or a higher power seemed to intervene on behalf of the United States.
Medved is a nationally syndicated radio host, and his daily three-hour broadcast reaches more than 4 million listeners on over 200 stations across the country, ranking among the top five political talk shows in the United States. His columns on politics and media appear frequently in USA Today, where he is a member of the Board of Contributors. His work as a film critic included positions at CNN, Great Britain’s Channel 4 Network, and PBS where he served as co-host of the weekly show "Sneak Previews." He was also Chief Film Critic of the New York Post before launching his daily radio show in 1996.
Medved has been married for 33 years to clinical psychologist Dr. Diane Medved, a bestselling author in her own right ("The Case Against Divorce"). Diane’s latest book, "Don’t Divorce: Powerful Arguments for Saving and Revitalizing Your Marriage", was released in March 2017. They live in the Seattle area where they raised their three children.
