Peter Werbe is an American radio talk show host who describes himself as an anarchist. He lives in the Detroit area where he has become a fixture spinning discs and hosting Nightcall Sunday nights at 11pm, Eastern, on Detroit's WRIF 101.1 FM (free live webtream and podcasts).
Peter Werbe's tenure, having commenced in 1970 and ending on Halloween 2016 resulted in two popular radio programs: Nightcall and The Peter Werbe Show. Nightcall was the longest running phone-in talk show in radio history, although little credit is given since the program is only aired weekly. Along with Juline Jordan, Thom Hartmann and Mike Malloy, Werbe hosted a nationally syndicated program on the now-defunct i.e. America Radio Network, from October 2000 to June 2003. He is also a staff member of Fifth Estate magazine, an anarchist publication founded in 1965.
Detroit's weekly alternative media live broadcast public affairs phone-in talk show with a working class demographic hosted by Peter Werbe and since 2006, he has been joined by his producer who is singer/songwriter and WCSX DJ, Juline Jordan. Contrary to what some believe, Peter and Juline are not a couple, as Peter has a long term marriage, and Juline is single. Nightcall has continually broadcast over the last four decades on WRIF Sunday nights beginning at 11pm Eastern, followed by The Peter Werbe Show. Rejecting the 'megaphone' style of broadcasting, Peter has always encouraged callers to bring up their concerns to fulfill the public affairs segment required of broadcasters. A quote form Peter Werbe lifted from previous versions of this page: "Werbe's well articulated left of center views and his easy style often infuriate right-wing listeners, who, rather than taking advantage of the phone lines available to them on Werbe's program, prefer instead to deface this page. He takes their frustration at their inability to confront his views directly as a high compliment."
