Mike Gallagher Visits Centenarian Listener
Pictured above at right is Salem Radio Network host Mike Gallagher with loyal listener Joyce – who recently celebrated her 100th birthday. Gallagher had received an e-mail from Joyce telling him she was about to hit the century mark, which he shared during his daily on-air visit with Salem-Dallas colleague Mark Davis, who suggested to Gallagher that he make her birthday even more special by paying her a personal visit. Gallagher says, “Joyce is awesome. She listens on her iPad and e-mails me occasionally.

My show is about bringing authenticity, courage, and moral clarity back to the airwaves – and planting the kind of seeds that will offer shade for generations to come.” Barnette was the national grassroots director and senior advisor Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign and is the author of Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: Being Black and Conservative in America (2020, Center Street).
