Glenn’s Mercury Radio Arts extended its publishing partnership with industry leader Simon & Schuster in 2011, a partnership dating back to 2003.

Glenn got his start in radio as a Top 40 DJ. He is a leading voice for conservatism and is a staunch defender of the Constitution, individual liberties, and free markets.
