Who is Mike Malloy?

Mike Malloy came to talk radio by accident. Writing for CNN in 1987, a friend at an Atlanta radio station told him there was an opening for a talk show host on the weekends. Malloy gave it a try and found a home.

Since then, his radio experience has included WSB-AM in Atlanta, and WLS-AM in Chicago. Additionally, Mike's nationally-syndicated program was carried for three years on affiliates of the former IE America Radio Network. He joined Air America Radio Network in August, 2004. In October, 2006, Mike signed on with the new Liberal radio network, Nova M.

In addition to writing for CNN (1984-87) and CNN-International (2000), his professional experience included newspaper columnist and editor, writer, rock concert producer and actor. It is not difficult to pigeon-hole Malloy politically. Generally speaking, he is a traditional Democrat working to return the Democratic Party to its historic liberal roots.
He is married, with six children - the youngest of whom was born in 2004 - and five grandchildren.

Who is Kathy Bay?

Married to Mike in 1997, Kathy never expected a career in radio as a talk show producer. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Kathy was completing her nursing degree when she was given the opportunity to fill-in temporarily as producer of the Mike Malloy Show. Within a few weeks she knew she'd found more than a temp job; she'd found a new career.

A life-long "talk radio junkie," Kathy takes her job seriously and thoroughly enjoys producing a talk show that's intelligent, factual, informative, and most of all entertaining. She now takes great pride -- and has great fun – in the two biggest joys in her life: Her now two-year-old daughter Molly, and continuing the fight against the political Flying Monkey Right.
