Bold, outspoken, and confident in her beliefs, radio host Dana Loesch is known for her strong stances on guns, patriotism, plus fighting for free speech and the American dream. “I have a lot of fun doing [my show], I think you have to love it,” Loesch said. “It’s like doing homework every single day that I really enjoy. The people who I watch and interact with every single day, it is a lot of fun because it’s like you have friends that you hang out with every single day, even if you can’t see them all. There is something magical about it and it makes it a lot of fun.”
But the No. 1 female conservative radio host in the country almost didn’t become the superstar we know today. “I had a newspaper column at the St Louis Post-Dispatch for a while and I ended up doing a couple of hits on our affiliate [radio] morning show [and] they had asked if I wanted to do a radio show,” she said. “I thought they were crazy because I didn’t study broadcasting. It looked way too hard. I said no for months, at least 4 or 5 months. Then my husband was like, ‘Why don’t you just try it? Just try it for a couple of weeks, see if you like it.’”
