Michael Medved in Israel

Michael Medved is a film critic, best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio talk show host. His daily three-hour program, emphasizing the intersection of politics and pop culture, reaches more than 1.8 million listeners in 124 markets, coast to coast.

In 1993, Medved won appointment as chief film critic of the New York Post, using that position to advance his argument that the entertainment industry's emphasis on violence, sexuality and vulgarity had broken faith with its mass audience-not only damaging our children, but undermining Hollywood's own profitability. When Rush Limbaugh launched his popular "Limbaugh Letter,' he focused on Medved as one of his very first celebrity interviews. This contact led to an invitation to serve as guest host on Limbaugh's top-rated national radio show, and Michael's enthusiastic enjoyment of this challenge brought about more than two dozen appearances behind 'the golden E. I. B. microphone." When Seattle's talk radio powerhouse 570 KVI offered Medved his own daily three hour show in 1996, he jumped at the chance-leaving Los Angeles behind after 20 years and indulging his long-time infatuation with the Great North West.

Medved was in Israel in February of 2004 broadcasting his show live from the America's Voices Studios at the Jerusalem Post.
