Hour 1:
1st half: Educator and podcast host Chris Stigall.
Chris and his wife Christine have become vocal proponents of school choice, specifically private Christian education. Together with the Herzog Foundation, the Stigalls host a podcast called “Making The Leap” to introduce and encourage parents to new ways of educating their children, extracting them from the toxic politics of public education. The Stigalls are committed Christians in the Baptist tradition along with their three teenage children – Will, Drew, and Anna.
“The Chris Stigall Show” has been a morning destination for talk radio listeners since its 2006 launch in Kansas City, MO. From there he began grabbing industry attention filling in on nationally syndicated talk radio shows and appearing as an occasional cable news guest. In 2011 Stigall made the move to Philadelphia where he has been a morning drive fixture ever since. By 2019 Stigall’s media footprint grew, signing with his original Kansas City station to return as midday host, adding a second radio show to his day. In the same year he began the “The Chris Stigall Podcast” and as of 2023 has signed with Salem Media Group for nationwide distribution.
Stigall’s shows are equal parts hilarious and at times desk-pounding severity with healthy doses of skepticism, sarcasm, and faith for good measure. His interviews with everyone from athletes and actors, to comedians and politicians regularly grab national headlines and he is consistently ranked by industry trade publications as a top radio morning host in the country, annually since 2009. Chris’ career began as a writer’s intern on Late Show with David Letterman, followed by work as a producer, news anchor, DJ, and even a brief stint as a staffer for a member of the United States House of Representatives. A graduate of Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO – Stigall obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in broadcasting with a minor in journalism. In addition to his work on radio and in podcasts, you may see him as an occasional guest on Fox News, NewsMax, CNN, MSNBC, and Salem Media Group media outlets Salem News Channel and Townhall.com

Simpson. A familiar face to millions who watch Fox News, Kelly Wright is the co-anchor of America's News Headquarters Weekend and former co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend.

Kelly s experiences in news have placed him on the front lines in Iraq, in Africa, in London and Paris, and at the White House, Pentagon, U.S. Capitol, and other places of influence. A two-time Emmy Award winner (Capitol Region), Kelly offers a unique perspective to his craft.
Beyond his anchoring and reporting, Kelly is an ordained minister and Gospel recording artist. He encourages people through his passionate preaching of the Good News in a bad-news world. As a singer, he s performed on programs featuring Shirley Caesar, Cissy Houston, Jonathan Butler, the late James Brown, and many others.
