News: Andrew W.K. To Host Weekly Show On Glenn Beck’s Radio Network

–Written by Kevin Madert

In an announcement earlier this week that would be weird if anyone other than Andrew W.K. was involved, Glenn Beck confirmed the rocker/pianist/television host/motivational speaker/all-around partier as the latest addition to TheBlaze. W.K. will host the semi-eponymous America W.K. on Beck’s radio network from 10:00AM-12:00PM, debuting this Saturday, May 2. The show is described as follows by W.K.’s website:

“Andrew will host a raw and penetrating discussion of what it is to be alive – meaning, motivation, mind set, and making dreams come true, all included in a celebration of life itself – and all with a positive and honest outlook. Andrew will also field questions and input from the audience, adding an engaging interactive component.” – via AndrewWK.com

When approached by Beck some time ago with the opportunity, W.K. says he was “shocked but excited, as I knew (Beck) would allow me the unrestrained freedom to say exactly what I wanted.” He’s looking forward to the challenges of being a more liberal-leaning pundit in a conservative’s arena: “If people never went outside their own box, life would be boring. After all, why would I only want to talk with people who already think exactly like me?”

Beck is equally eager for W.K. to join TheBlaze, despite their differences. “My relationship with Andrew W.K. is a perfect example of how two people can come together on what unites us, and become strange bedfellows,” he said. “He is open minded, honest, loves his fellow man even though he may disagree with him, and is a natural entertainer. I think he is the perfect fit for TheBlaze Radio Network.” We couldn’t agree more Glenn, we couldn’t agree more.

America W.K. airs Saturdays from 10:00AM-12:00AM on TheBlaze Radio Network.
