“The Situation with Michael Brown” is a fan-favorite and described by many as smart, funny and connected. As the Former Under Secretary of Homeland Security and Director of FEMA, Brown provides provocative insight into culture, current events and politics.
Conway has been a regular fill-in host on 850 AM & 94.1 FM KOA and 630 KHOW for a number of years. He has been called a “happy libertarian,” and has an uncanny ability to interview news makers, putting them at ease while cutting to the heart of the issue. Conway’s libertarian principles are clear, but his hot takes are always original.

The Situation with Michael Brown 6 – 10 a.m.
