LES KINSOLVING is the nation's only talk show host who is also a White House correspondent, as well as a movie actor. Talkers, the trade magazine of the nation's 1,400 talk radio stations and 4,200 talk radio hosts, named Les to the top 100 ("The Heavy Hundred") each year from 1997 to 2005, with Editor Michael Harrison commenting: "Les' daring demeanor makes him dangerous to his foes and unpredictable to his audience, and that is what great radio is about. He is absolutely fearless. The Grand Inquisitor of political talk radio, it's favorite troublemaker the preeminent provocateur."

THE LES KINSOLVING SHOW, Uninhibited Radio, has been broadcast in Baltimore since 1986; and previously on KCBS San Fransisco; WWDB Philadelphia; WOR New York; WPGC-AM in Washington. He has also broadcast commentary on WAVA All-News in Washington, WOR, WPGC-AM and stations across the nation. In 2000, he became White House correspondent and talk show host for Talk Radio Network in Oregon, and two years later for WorldNetDaily, with its 6-million readers.

AS A NEWSPAPER COLUMNIST AND REPORTER before he went into broadcasting, Les was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in the category of criticism or commentary, by the San Francisco Chronicle in 1972 and by the San Francisco Examiner in 1973. He and reporter Carolyn Pickering of the Indianapolis Star in 1972 broke the first major stories on the Peoples Temple of the Rev. Jim Jones -- who had Les as number two on his "hit list". Les’ weekly column was syndicated to 256 daily and weekly newspapers in 49 states and five foreign countries.
