The Stephanie Miller Show is a syndicated progressive talk radio program that discusses politics, current events, and pop culture using a fast-paced, impromptu style. The three-hour show is hosted by comedian Stephanie Miller ("Steph") along with voice artist Jim Ward and the show's engineer and executive producer John Melendez ("The Mooks"). The show debuted in September 2004 and is broadcast live each weekday morning on radio stations throughout the U.S. The radio show should not be confused with Miller's short-lived 1995 syndicated TV talk show with the same name.
Talkers Magazine named Stephanie Miller as one of the 100 most important radio talk show hosts in America in 2007, describing her as a funny, smart, and charming rising star of the progressive talk format.The Stephanie Miller Show is heard on 64 affiliates around the country and has a weekly cume of 2.5 million listeners. The show's audience has grown from 1 million in Fall 2005 on 40 affiliates.
The show was simulcast on MSNBC for three days starting April 30, 2007, as part of a series of programs filling the former time slot of Don Imus. On March 5, 2012, Current TV announced that the show would be simulcast on the network's new morning block as Talking Liberally: The Stephanie Miller Show beginning March 26, 2012. The show's simulcast on the network ended on August 15, 2013 with the end of live programming on Current in preparation of the transition to Al Jazeera America. The show is now simulcasted on Free Speech TV after a successful Indiegogo campaign to raise the funds to produce the show for TV. In January 2014, Miller began hosting the show from a studio in her home, following the decision of the former KTLK-AM in Los Angeles to become the flagship station for conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. In October 2014, Miller began offering an uncensored "Happy Hour" podcast, which has become immensely successful.
