Dennis Prager is a renowned American conservative author, radio talk show presenter, and commentator, known to have supported conservative causes, nationwide.
He is a co-founder of PragerU, an online platform that creates brief educational videos with the objective of promoting conservative values and ideas. Since 1999, he has been a nationally syndicated radio presenter, broadcasting from Los Angeles.
Prager's syndicated program addresses a diverse array of subjects, such as politics, religion, and culture.
He has made appearances on approximately 400 stations nationwide, actively promoting conservative ideology.
The Rational Bible, Still the Best Hope, and Happiness Is a Serious Problem are only a few of his nine published books.
Along with producer Allen Estrin, Dennis started PragerU in 2011 to make five-minute films that taught students about a variety of topics, including economics and politics.
Those films have been instrumental in teaching teens and young adults about issues surrounding civics and politics in a way that has been frequently overlooked in the public education system in recent years.
