The Rick Smith Show
Weekdays at 8pm
The Rick Smith Show is one of America's most popular working-class programs, broadcasting the class war to restore America to the people who built it since 2005. Streaming live weeknights from 9pm-11pm EST on YouTube and Twitch TV, airing nightly in primetime on Free Speech TV, and heard on radio stations in major markets including New York City on WBAI 99.5 FM, Los Angeles on KPFK 90.7 FM, and Chicago on WCPT AM 820, the show delivers a direct, honest approach to the issues that matter. By working people, for working people, it's a place where facts are center, science is real, and everyone gets a seat at the table—no puppets, no focus groups, no talking points. Host Rick Smith grew up in the working-class neighborhoods of Cleveland, going from delivering papers as a boy to driving 18-wheelers as a proud union member, bringing the grit of a Teamster and the voice of America's working families to the airwaves coast-to-coast.
