Rising Canadian Talk Star Added to KMOX, St. Louis Cracking U.S. Radio Market
Up-and-coming talk radio host David Cooper – star of the syndicated program, “The Last Show” – is being added to the roster of Audacy’s heritage outlet KMOX-AM/FM, St. Louis. KMOX brand manager Steve Moore says, “The show is quirky, curious, unexpected and entertaining – a fresh voice in a crowded radio landscape that gives people something they won’t find anywhere else on the dial. We’re excited to bring David’s unique perspective to KMOX and think St. Louis is going to love it.” The program now airs weeknights from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm on the Midwest powerhouse that will serve as its U.S. flagship.
Cooper was honored at TALKERS 2026 this past June as the conference’s “Special International Guest” – see photo with Cooper (r) being introduced by Michael Harrison (l).
Cooper already boasts major market clearances across North America, including Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. The show connects listeners with brilliant, primary-source experts in technology, AI, science, psychology, relationships, and pop culture.
Driven by genuine curiosity, Cooper steers away from what he describes as “pedantic talk,” guiding guests into “authentic and grounded conversations that connect with a wider audience.” Cooper, a self-described “recovering Silicon Valley software engineer,” created the show to focus on curiosity rather than outrage and divisiveness.

Cooper says, “It’s what happens when you mix relationship advice, scientific breakthroughs, and the world’s weirdest headlines into one show. Somehow, it all makes sense.” Cooper says the show targets the 25-54 demographic. He also serves as technical director and host at Burning Man Radio during his annual Nevada festival pilgrimage. He adds, “What do I know? Talk radio programmers call it a strategic counterprogramming solution, designed to capture audiences from alt-rock or NPR stations.”
