The audience includes shift workers, travelers, truck drivers and others who embrace the new 24/7 lifestyle, with many restaurants, retailers and other business establishments open round the clock. Red Eye Radio is the successor to Midnight Trucking Radio Network, a program whose roots go back 40 years. Each night the hosts of Red Eye Radio review the headlines, cover the issues that matter and keep listeners tuned-in with insight and perspective. Also on the agenda popular culture, family issues and detailed national weather forecasts.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

They cover all types of stories. They are honest to admit they don’t often understand certain political and economic trends but they resort to common sense to settle and solve most issues. Plus, they are funny

F1cranmer · May 2025

The best analysis on the airwaves! I listen all the time and I love this website that I can listen to the episodes because I can’t always stay up late to listen to show live! I love how I can forward episodes to friends - great feature!

WJSIII63 · Sep 2024

I first heard Eric and Gary on their old show and was hooked. They are the only show I e found that insist on using only FACTS to form their opinions. Red Eye Radio is a conservative show but they are not afraid to call out Republicans and Democrats on all their lies and nonsense. If you have a national political topic that you are unsure about, chances are good they have or will cover it. Keep up the good work guys. We appreciate it!

Orange Peel 01z · Aug 2024

I always look forward to this podcast. They slice and dice the subject at hand and, I believe, cover all sides of an issue. They have opened my mind on many occasions to consider all the facets of an issue. Balanced…thoughtful….well prepared…two normal guys facing the same issues that I am!

Shipwreck Bill · Feb 2022

Way too many personal references. I’ve been listening for over 5 years and I can quote Gary’s life experiences almost as well as Gary because that’s 60-65% percent of the show. Need a little more show prep because beating a dead horse is getting old. Lots of topics to be talked about and plenty going on for you guys to be taking us down the same rabbit holes just about every day.
