Thom Hartmann Biography
Thom Hartmann is a progressive talk radio host, New York Times bestselling author, and international speaker and writer specializing in topics such as psychiatry, culture, ecology, and politics. Hartmann is a four-time Project Censored Award-winning author and hosts "The Thom Hartmann Program," a nationally syndicated show broadcast on AM and FM radio, SiriusXM satellite, and as video on Free Speech TV, Facebook, YouTube, and X. The program reaches millions of weekly listeners and has built a substantial online following.
Hartmann began his radio career in 1968, working as a DJ, reporter, news anchor, and program director for various commercial radio stations before moving into nationally syndicated talk radio. He also hosted the nightly television show "The Big Picture." Talkers Magazine has recognized him as a leading progressive host and consistently ranked his show among the top talk radio programs in the United States.
As an author, Hartmann has written extensively on mental health, politics, and environmental issues. His books include "Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception," "ADHD and the Edison Gene," and "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight," which inspired the film "The 11th Hour." Hartmann originated the "Hunter/Farmer Hypothesis" to explain Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and is a former rostered psychotherapist with the State of Vermont. His "Hidden History" series examines major societal challenges, including "The Hidden History of Guns and the Second Amendment," "The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the Betrayal of America," and "The Hidden History of American Democracy."
In addition to his media and writing work, Hartmann has contributed to humanitarian efforts. He co-founded The New England Salem Children's Village and The Hunter School, organizations focused on residential treatment for abused children and education for children with learning disabilities. Hartmann has also participated in establishing hospitals, famine relief programs, schools, and refugee centers in countries including India, Uganda, Australia, Colombia, Russia, and the United States. He has collaborated with the Dalai Lama, met with Pope John Paul II, and taught marketing to Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and the National Security Agency. Hartmann's career encompasses broadcasting, scholarship, entrepreneurship, and activism, providing expertise across multiple platforms in progressive media and public affairs.
