Thom Hartmann (born May 7, 1951) is an American radio host, author, former psychotherapist and entrepreneur, and a progressive or liberal political commentator. His nationally-syndicated radio show, The Thom Hartmann Program, airs in the United States and has 2 million unique listeners a week.[1] In February 2009, Talkers Magazine named Hartmann the tenth most important talk show host in America [2], defining him as the most important progressive host in the country (the nine above Hartmann being conservatives). He is a lay scholar of the history and textual analysis of the United States Constitution; attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); electronic voting fraud; and environmental issues like global warming. Hartmann's original article "Talking Back To Talk Radio" became part of the original business plan of Air America Radio. He replaced Al Franken on the network on February 19, 2007. On March 1, 2009, Hartmann moved syndication of his show from Air America to the former Jones Network, now owned by Dial Global (which also syndicates Neal Boortz, Ed Schultz, Michael Smerconish, Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, and Clark Howard). Starting in the summer of 2009, Hartmann's show also joined the Pacifica Radio network for syndication to non-profit and community broadcasting stations, and is now carried on Pacifica affiliates across the US, in Europe, and on the African continent.
