Conservative talk radio exerts a huge influence on American politics and the voting population, and hosts such as Jeff Katz attract a loyal audience with their daily shows, as the United States gears up for the 2024 presidential election. "Conservatives on the radio are far more entertaining than any of the liberals have been," says the 59-year-old former police officer in his studio in Virginia. "The country is truly at stake at this point... when you have somebody who is able to speak plainly, like Donald Trump, it resonates with a lot of people," adds Katz, as he gears up to go on air for his three-hour show streamed every weekday.
