About Glenn Beck
While Glenn Beck entered the media world as a DJ at the tender age of 13, everything changed when he found a new vision of his career - talk radio. In 2002, he launched The Glenn Beck Program on just 47 stations with the mission to make listeners "feel goodness from my show and accept me for who I am, flaws and all." Nothing has been the same since. Today, just a few years later, his radio show is nationally syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks and can be heard across the country on 400 stations, his television show sets ratings records, his books reach the top of bestseller lists and he travels across the country performing his live stage show to sold-out audiences. Across all of these mediums, Beck connects with his fans in a whole new way, inspiring and entertaining them with his humor, hard-hitting interviews and honest tales about his life.
