Tired of the usual liberal/conservative treatment that strangles most media debates? Fed up with positions ignored unless they meet their pigeon-holed agenda? Then tune in to Alan Nathan, the centrist with teeth, as he advances a more biting aggressiveness to both sides of the political spectrum. Named by Talkers Magazine as one of the top 100 talk hosts of 2002, 2003 and 2005, Alan Nathan has gone toe-to-toe with national leaders, columnists and extremists from all corridors of public argument. Also known as the militant moderate, Alan Nathan is an Achievement in Radio award nominated host and former national television correspondent. Compelling and irreverent, Alan has often been a guest panelist on CNN and The Fox News Channel. Now in his tenth year with Radio America, the battle continues . . .
