Dennis Prager
Look out, talk show enthusiasts! Dennis Prager, philosopher extraordinarre,
is on the air. In other words, don't expect the trivial, the trite,
the paltry or the picayune. Go elsewhere if you must for gossip
and idle chatter; Prager's objective is to stretch your brain cells
through sophisticated and erudite discourse. Consider the typical
caveat that he issues at the beginning of his radio show: "If
you like to think, I think you'll like the next few hours, wherein
I challenge you - and you challenge me - to think a second time
about some great issue." As host of both a daily New York
radio talk show and Southern California's highest rated afternoon
radio talk show, Prager attracts discerning audiences who prefer
intelligent discussion to frivolity. "Entertainment is secondary
on my show, though the show must be entertaining. My first criterion
is to hold people's interest, and I think I do" Interest in
his logic-oriented approach has been so high, in fact, that Prager
concurrently publishes a quarterly journal, Ultimate Issues, which
is circulated worldwide to more than 20,000 readers. Then, this
September, Prager began hosting a nationally televised syndicated
talk show. Combine this visibility with his numerous national and
international speaking engagements, and it is clear to see why
Dennis Prager is an oratorical force to be reckoned with. Unlike
many commentators, it's difficult to pigeon-hole Prager into any
political ideology. His focus is on matters of ethics, morality
and values - or, as he once so succinctly put it, "I'm obsessed
with the issue of good and evil." The Los Angeles Times has
called him "a charismatic moralist" who is "armed
with a muscular intellect, a stentorian voice that booms from his
6 foot, 4 inch frame, the well-honed oratory of someone who gives
several speeches a week, and the eloquence of a seasoned essayist." |
