Every weekday afternoon, Michelangelo Signorile offers up hard-hitting analysis and commentary, and with just enough laughter at the sheer lunacy that often passes for political discourse in America. As a gay author and activists he takes on the forces of discrimination and bigotry, and challenges those who cower. He reports on the news of the day in politics, media and pop culture, and he interviews all the big names — authors, newsmakers and icons from politics to entertainment.
Signorile takes calls from listeners across North America, engaging in passionate discussion and often battling it out with dissenters — who occasionally even change their minds. It's Signorile's own brand of "conversion therapy,” as he calls it, “converting people from the nasty, vicious, perverted right-wing agenda to our more fun, fabulous and enlightened one."
The Michelangelo Signorile Show broadcasts Monday through Friday, 3-6 p.m. ET (12-3 PT), on SiriusXM Progress 127 and can be heard across the continental United States and all of Canada.
