Michael Savage, the conservative radio host and commentator, retired from his full-time radio show, “The Savage Nation,” at the end of September 2020. He continues to produce podcasts and write books, focusing on political commentary and cultural analysis.
Michael Savage, born Michael Alan Weiner, is known for his provocative style and conservative views. He began his media career in the 1990s and gained a large following with his radio show “The Savage Nation,” which at its peak was syndicated across the United States. Savage’s approach often involved harsh criticism of liberalism, immigration, and other hot-button issues, which earned him both a dedicated audience and numerous critics.
After decades on the air, Savage decided to step back from his daily radio show duties. His last live radio broadcast was on September 25, 2020. However, he did not retire from public life entirely. Instead, he transitioned to podcasting, where he continues to share his opinions and insights on current events. His podcast, also named “The Savage Nation,” allows him to reach his audience in a format that provides him with more flexibility and control over his content.
In addition to his podcast, Savage is an accomplished author, having written numerous books, both fiction and non-fiction. His works often explore themes similar to those discussed on his radio show and podcasts, including politics, culture, and personal health. Savage holds a Ph.D. in nutritional ethnomedicine from the University of California, Berkeley, which has informed his interest in alternative medicine and health topics, subjects he occasionally addresses in his media appearances and writings.
Despite stepping away from daily radio broadcasting, Michael Savage remains an influential figure in conservative circles, continuing to impact public discourse through his podcast and literary endeavors.
