Peter Boyles Show

Peter Boyles wraps up the morning with open lines on the rise of socialism in America, frustration with capitalism, U.S. involvement in the Middle East, political corruption and the changing media landscape. The hour also turns personal as Peter welcomes longtime friends into the studio and reflects on the relationships and stories behind his newly announced induction into the Colorado Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

A deeply personal hour of The Peter Boyles Show begins with longtime friend Ted Scott delivering the news: Peter Boyles has been unanimously selected for induction into the Colorado Broadcasters Hall of Fame, joining a remarkable class that includes his late friend and fellow radio legend Alan Berg. For Peter, the honor becomes even more meaningful when he learns that he will have the privilege of presenting Berg for his posthumous induction.
Then, almost perfectly Peter, the celebration gives way to open lines and some of the biggest questions facing America. Peter and his callers debate the growing popularity of socialism, capitalism and wealth, the changing Democratic Party, and why free-market advocates may be struggling to make their case to younger Americans.

The conversation also continues Peter’s examination of America’s decades-long involvement in the Middle East. Callers challenge him on Iran, nuclear weapons, the Strait of Hormuz, the Gulf Wars and whether the United States can—or should—continue carrying the burden of policing the region.

Peter Boyles is joined by Baylor University Professor David Smith for a deep dive into America’s long and complicated relationship with the Middle East. From the decline of European empires and the Cold War to oil, Iran and decades of U.S. intervention, they examine how history shaped today’s conflicts—and question whether America can find a way out.

Peter Boyles takes on the growing appeal of democratic socialism in America and asks what’s driving the shift, particularly among younger voters. Peter and callers debate economic frustration, education, foreign wars, the changing Democratic Party, and whether history offers clues about where the country may be headed.
