Mike Gallagher, a familiar name in the Carolinas, feels right at home. His radio journey began in 1989 in Greenville, SC, on what is now News/Talk 98.9 WORD.
Before stepping into national syndication in 1998, Mike anchored the morning show on WABC-AM in New York City. Today, Talkers Magazine reveals that his show reaches over 7 million weekly listeners.
A prolific author, Mike has penned two best-selling books: "Surrounded by Idiots: Fighting Liberal Lunacy in America" (William Morrow) and "50 Things Liberals Love to Hate" (Threshold), offering humorous and insightful takes on the quirks of liberal ideology.
Beyond the airwaves, Mike has showcased his talent on stage and screen as an actor. He graced regional theater and Broadway, with notable roles including a guest appearance at the Shubert Theater in New York in the Tony Award-winning musical "Memphis" and investments in the Tony award-winning musical "Pippin," both on Broadway and during the national tour.
Yet, his most profound commitment lies in supporting law enforcement. Through his charitable foundation, "Gallagher’s Heroes: Fallen Officers Fund," Mike extends aid to the families of police officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The foundation also publishes and distributes the First Responder’s Bible, a King James Bible coupled with a spiritual fitness manual, offering solace and support to First Responders grappling with the emotional and spiritual challenges of their profession (www.gallaghersheroes.org).
Known as "The Happy Conservative Warrior," Mike remains one of America's most beloved hosts. His engaging dialogue with listeners and lively delivery make his show essential listening for audiences across the Carolinas, airing weekdays from ten to noon on News/Talk 98.9 WORD, The Voice of the Carolinas
