Randi Rhodes is the #1 Progressive Talk host in the nation.
This Brooklyn native became a national talk radio hero to millions
in 2004 when she left South Florida radio, where she had the
#1 ranked talk show in her market, for national syndication.
Randi started her radio odyssey quite modestly by playing 'classic
country' from a storefront studio in Seminole, TX. From there
she went on to Alabama, Milwaukee, Dallas, NYC and Miami before
settling in West Palm Beach, FL to raise her niece Jessica after
losing her sister Ellen to breast cancer.
Before getting into radio, Randi was an aircraft mechanic in
US Air Force where she was taught that 'you are only as strong
as the weakest among you' - a very liberal tenet that still
guides her to this day.
Randi is impeccably researched and infectiously funny; she pulls
no punches and never fails to both enlighten and entertain.
She starred in the HBO documentary Left of the Dial, was named
Talkers Magazine's 2007 Woman of the Year and is probably watching
C-SPAN right now.

Chris Duffy is the Senior Producer for The Randi Rhodes Show.
'Duff' has been involved with Randi's broadcast since 2001.
On top of organizing the show, topic research and staff, he
supplies the infamous voices you hear on Randi's top of the
hour bits...like Republican Talking Point, C-SPAN Center and
The Wussocrats.
He's a 22 year radio veteran. "I remember in the 80s and
90s when there was only right wing radio," he says. "I'd
listen to the garbage they'd make up, and wince....because they
were getting away with it. There was no one to call them out
on their bullshit." Duffy is proud to be involved in bringing
progressive voices to the table everyday. "We're here now.
We're being heard. The days of right wing nonsense going unchallenged
are gone forever."
Born in Boston, Duffy was raised in the north woods of Michigan,
near Traverse City. "Everyone dogs on their hometown at
some point. But the older I got the more I realized...I had
been raised with a good, healthy dose of that northern Midwest
common sense, skepticism, and hope." He considers himself
a 'progressive moderate......but with this right wing disaster
we've had as President since 200...80 percent of the country
are liberals now."
Duff enjoys biking, reading and anything involving the Atlantic
Ocean, 5 minutes from his West Palm Beach home.
