Neal Boortz


A former lawyer turned talk show host who hosts a syndicated radio show headquartered in Atlanta from his flagship station WSB-AM. Boortz is known for being a bit on the insensitive side but his ratings in the Atlanta area frequently eclipse those of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. A graduate of Texas A&M;, Boortz got into radio as a part-time job to supplement the income from his legal practice and finally took up broadcasting full-time after deciding to give up his legal career.
