Bob is such a great host. So knowledgeable about so many issues and he always has smart guests on his show. Well worth the time.
Chris Preble VP for Defense & Foreign Policy Studies at Cato
There's good reason that the Bob Zadek show is the longest running libertarian radio show in the country.
Ben Powell Senior Fellow, The Independent Institute
“One of the best shows on radio; its format, and Bob’s probing questions, allow for in-depth discussion that offers far more insight than the usual 30-second sound bite.”
Jeff Bergner Former policy director for Senator Richard Lugar
Plenty of us call for respectful debate, yet few deliver... Bob stands out for his capacity to, gently, get people to question their premises.
FERGUS HODGSON
Executive Editor, Antigua Report
