I’m passionate about telling the real story, giving the people real information and cutting through the rhetoric that exists in the media today.” said Doyle, who is top 10 Talk Radio Hosts in the country. “It’s time to bring like-minded individuals together and tackle the real issues, not what the crony crapitalists, banker and sell out politicians think is best for us.”

Their voice and style, is exactly in-line with the EpicTimes vision.” Said CEO Elaine Kunda, who has spent the better part of her career building out digital media companies. “I believe we are at the forefront of grassroots change in both the media and politics, EpicTimes is providing a platform for those whose only agenda is truth.”

We are proud to share Jerry’s vision, we’re humbled he has put faith in us to help grow his site, and we are excited to offer podcasts, short form radio, and blogs that will feature “honest front porch talk from two guys who can’t stand politicians, want the world to be a better place and hope to help you get through your week with all the news you need to know”.

Our thought leaders are here to start the conversation, participate in civil debate, offer their perspective, and encourage visitors to chime in – all while keeping them entertained! At EpicTimes we care more about Right vs Wrong and less about Left vs Right.
