"We looked at a lot of options for afternoons, but no other host had their finger on the pulse of national, statewide, and local politics like Ed Martin,” said Greg Lhamon, VP & General Manager for Salem in St. Louis. “He’s smart and savvy and will force politicians to stay on their toes. And as a CNN political contributor, he brings a global perspective to talk radio that is sorely missing in St. Louis. St. Louisans will love this guy.”

“The American people deserve to be heard loudly and clearly,” said Ed Martin. “I am excited to join Salem in giving voice to the truth to provide the answers to the big questions facing St. Louis and our nation.”

Ed Martin is the New York Times best-selling author of The Conservative Case for Trump. He is a CNN political contributor and has appeared on every major TV network and hundreds of radio stations. He is known as an articulate advocate of Donald Trump's policies that put Americans first.

Formally trained as a lawyer and ethicist, Ed is the hand-picked successor of Phyllis Schlafly as head of her Eagles. He was the chairman of the Missouri Republican Party and a member of the Republican National Committee from 2013-2015. He lives in St. Louis with his wife and four children.
