Talk radio refers to the practice of holding public discussions via
radio. While talk radio has a decades-old history, in the
1990s in the
United States it grew to heretofore unseen popularity, primarily due to the popularity of programs by controversial
political conservatives such as
Rush Limbaugh, [G. Gordon Liddy]
?, and
Michael Reagan, and the
libertarian "[shock jock]
?" [Howard Stern]
?. There have been many other subjects of discussion in talk radio, including advice about morality
? (for example, from [Dr. Joy]
? or [Dr. Laura]
?), automobiles (for example,
Car Talk), and finance (for example, [Bob Brinker's Money Talk]
?).
