Ray Hanania Radio and Podcasts

People have asked how to access all of my writings, radio shows, and audio/video podcasts, which include Ray Hanania on Politics, Two Guys on Politics with Bill Lipinski, The Ray Hanania Radio Show sponsored by Arab News on WNZK AM 690 Radio in Michigan, and Ray Hanania’s Syndicated column.

Hanania takes a hard-hitting approach to politics in Chicagoland, the nation and the Middle East. On Middle East issues, Hanania seeks to convey “the Moderate Arab Voice” especially in the very contentious Palestine-Israel conflict.

A former Chicago City Hall reporter (1977-1992) and later a syndicated columnist with Creators Syndicate, writing for Newsday, the Orlando Sentinel and now writing for several newspaper chains, including the Southwest News Newspaper Group and Arab News Newspaper based in Saudi Arabia and distributed around the world in print (Paris, Tokyo, Riyadh, Dubai, and online)

Here are all of the links and information you need (with details on each below):
