The Mike Malloy Show is a progressive radio talk show syndicated by the Air America Radio network and hosted by long-time radio personality Mike Malloy. The show originates from Atlanta, Georgia, though the minimal in-studio staff allows Malloy to broadcast from other locations when he travels. The show features Malloy's extended monologues on the day's news, listener calls, and occasional guest interviews that entertain his radio audience that Mike refers to as "Truthseekers".

Malloy's radio style is fairly raunchy and controversial. He is an advocate of 9/11 conspiracy theories, the impeachment of George W. Bush and the ousting of what he calls "spineless, pink tutu democrats" from congress. Some justify this as appropriate given Mike's charismatic personality or the show's late night timeslot, but others are turned away from the show's ballsy nature. See Mike Malloy for a more detailed description.

The show launched on August 2, 2004 and broadcasts live weeknights from 10PM - 1AM Eastern Time on some Air America affiliates.

Regular features

1984 - Malloy reads excerpts from George Orwell's classic novel during one segment of the show (usually in the last half-hour); lasted from January 2006 through May 2006.
Cinco de Moron - The annual show on Cinco de Mayo that makes fun of the manner in which George W. Bush speaks Spanish. The 2006 show focused on the controversy surrounding Bush's opinion of singing the The Star-Spangled Banner in Spanish.
Youth Night - The occasional show where Mike only takes phone calls from teenagers from 13 through 17 years of age.
Uncle Mike's Story Corner - A depressing story, usually related to the war in Iraq, set to the theme song of Mister Roger's Neighborhood
