Talk radio host Dennis Prager joins forces with college student Julie Hartman to start a new podcast, becoming the 22nd show from the Salem Podcast Network, per Inside Radio. The Dennis and Julie podcast will take on topics from their much different vantage points.
Prager will bring plenty of journalism experience to the podcast; meanwhile, Hartman brings the newest generation to the news media industry and a different perspective.
“One of the many unique aspects of ‘Dennis and Julie’ is that it will attract people of all ages. Another is that it will be tremendously entertaining, as both Dennis and Julie combine wit with wisdom,” Phil Boyce, Salem’s Senior VP of Spoken Word Formats, said.
“This is one of the most compelling stories I have heard. Julie Hartman realized she was a conservative while attending one of the most liberal colleges in the U.S.”
Hartmann says she sensed that she was disclosed to one viewpoint for most of her life, leading her to seek out and discover Prager’s 2013 book “Still the Best Hope” with his take on both the left and America.
Hartman realized she held many conservative beliefs upon reading the book and then sought out Prager, who invited her to his Salem Radio Networks show.
“Finding Dennis’s work changed my life. I discovered the historic significance of the American value system and just how much our society today has come to be guided by the wrong principles,” Hartman said.
“I hope that Dennis and I can make the world more understandable to our audience and impart to our listeners — especially those my age — how important it is to resist the far left push that comes at them every day. I’m honored to work with Dennis, and I’m grateful to Salem for trusting me with this opportunity.”
The Dennis and Julie podcast launches on March 1st on the Salem Podcast Network.
