Each week, "Salon.com Radio" will take the wry, opinionated personality of Salon.com to the airwaves. Hosted by Stephan Cox, the one-hour program will feature stories, interviews and commentary on current events, technology, arts and culture, with reporting and interviews by Salon.com's writers and editors. Regular contributors include Garrison Keillor, the well-known host of "A Prairie Home Companion.”

Michael O'Donnell, CEO and president of Salon.com, says "With the launch of our first radio show, Salon is further becoming a cross-platform media company. In addition to our award-winning site and the three books we've published to date, our new radio show extends Salon's brand into the broadcast radio arena and opens up a valuable new revenue stream."
