The Rick Smith Show
“The Rick Smith Show” is a national radio and television program created by working people, for working people. It’s a show that straightens the spin and ignores the talking points because, honestly, working families just don’t have time for the nonsense anymore.
About Rick Smith
From the working-class neighborhoods of Cleveland, where folks didn’t have much and still don’t, Rick went from delivering papers as a boy to a career driving 18-wheelers as a proud union member. Today, in a world of right-wing “radiovangelists” with fancy suits and empty souls, Rick has carved out a place for us, a place where real people can come together and hit back against the forces trying to turn the American Dream into a punchline.

Listen weekdays from 5:00 to 6:00 a.m. at 820 AM, on TuneIn, right here on the Heartland Signal website, or tell Alexa to play WCPT from TuneIn.
