I am a frequent fill-in guest host for radio stations across the country, speak to all sorts of groups wanting relevant speakers who will compel and entertain their audience and am from time to time a sought after TV commentator and / or subject for news maker interview.
For radio work
I use my own ISDN based, professionally equipped studio. For my feed all you do is dial in, the equipment on my end works automatically with the equipment on your end to optimize settings and provide the highest quality audio.
For studio to studio communications we have the options of using IFB, AIM or your web-based call screen program via my high speed Internet connection. Aside from working with your regular producers I also do my own extensive show prep (including boning up on your market’s local news and – if I am unfamiliar with that market – local pronunciations and references…as far as the audience is concerned I am there.)
While the calls into the show and calls out to guests will originate from your studio, I have the capability to gather and air my own audio relevant to the show topic or, if you prefer email it ahead for your producer to air on my cue.
My compensation schedule is flexible and I am able to work within your budgetary constraints so let’s talk.
I am also seeking to return to news/talk media full time and am open to relocation to a quality of life market for a stable situation.
For in-person speaking engagements
I charge a sliding honorarium (depending on venue and audience size) which can be either cash or commitment to buy a set number of copies of my book “Taking Back America One Tea Party at a Time,” or a hybrid of the two. Travel expenses for venues more than 50 miles beyond Sacramento are required. If your event requires significant travel (most destinations outside of Northern California and the Reno - Carson City, Nevada areas) pre-booked round trip air on Southwest or JetBlue (if those airlines serve your market and flights are available) is required. Venues outside of California may require an overnight hotel accommodation.
To contact me you may do so through Facebook or join my LinkedIn Network where you will find my private voice & text telephone number or send an email
TalkerMark@gmail.com
As a news maker guest or guest commentary
Email me as above for details on my availability. There is a fee for appearances on national television broadcasts and it is required of all media outlets for which I make myself available that my book be prominently mentioned and a picture of the cover appear on screen (or in the print article)

Hi Mark,
I heard you on San Francisco’s KSFO on Friday and today (Monday – 4/25). It was a pure accident that I discovered you were filing in, because I rarely listen to KSFO (I listen to another conservative talk station). It’s refreshing to hear your voice again on the radio. I enjoyed your regular broadcast on Sacramento’s KFBK until you went off the air… So I quit listening to KFBK. If you are presently on a radio station on a regular basis please let me know via email (even if it’s outside the San Francisco Bay Area). Too bad KSFO doesn’t hire you. Always a fan.
Mark,
Thanks for letting me ramble a bit about my 5 year old daughter.
“do you like president Obama?”…. Etc…
Sorry about getting into the neighbor issue… But it was a real story….
Should not have gone there.
Will look intoyour book… I like your message.

Just caught you and Thom Harttman speaking about the tea party and their votes in congress. Your reply to him was lame. Does a baby learn to run before it walks? All change comes in increments. When tea party members get elected to office but continue to vote lockstep with the republican leadership then Harttman is right. They are puppets for the banksters.
You call blocking every attempt by the party to side with Obama being in “lockstep” and a “puppet”? Dude, pass me that joint!

Wow, you guys in Rhody are way far behind the curve… and you are actually letting the USAG tell your governor what to do? State run shops, like NH or PA liquor stores?
Wrong. Really????
Here in Cali we told the Feds to go play with themselves and now these places are private sector and sprout like grass (pun intended) and provide thousands of well-paying jobs! There are nearly 40 of them here in Sacramento alone … a dinky town of just over 400,000 people…. regionally there have got to be a hundred, throw in the dozens in the Bay Area and you can literally fill a Yellow Pages. (http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/420-guide/content?oid=1957035)
They pay millions of dollars every year in sales, property and business taxes; and employees pay millions in income taxes.
Average per ounce price is under $400, coupons and two-for-ones and increasing competition are putting a great deal of downward pressure on the prices to the point where established concerns actually lobby against full legalization!
Tell Chafee to grow a set
Mark,
I’m not satisfied with any of the possible candidates running under the GOP flag. I certainly know that this country cannot continue under Obama. Would love to see a Colonel Allen West drafted to run. Now that’s excitement considering his leadership in Iraq.
Katherine – listening in Santa Rosa on KSFO
A Tea Party Patriot – lets get rumbling!
You mentioned the Three Stooges on KSFO recently. You are probably familiar with the various books on/by the Stooges (Moe’s book, “Curley” and others by Joan Howard Maurer). In case you missed it, an excellent book “One Fine Stooge” on Larry came out in 2006 – slick pages, color photos, etc.. Also, a quarterly Journal has 140 issues to date from the “Three Stooges Fan Club” at P.O. Box 747, Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania 19437 – $ 9 1 year, $ 16 for 2 years and $ 23 for three years. Also, a book by Joe Besser, “Not Just A Stooge.” Figured you know about these but perhaps people visiting your site may not. Thank you.
Joan was a frequent guest on my first talk show job… over nights on 1480 WSAR / Fall River, Mass…. long, long time ago. Didn’t know about Larry’s book but did see the giant mural of him in his home town (Philly) when we lived there… have a copy of Joe Besser’s book. Not a big Besser fan.
Always appreciate hearing from a fellow Stooges fan!
Here is a letter I sent to Sen. Darrell Steinberg and other elected officials. I think you might enjoy its contents. I enjoyed attending the 2nd Amendment rally in Sacto. Good job by all.
February 12, 2013
Senator Darrell Steinberg
1020 N Street, Rm 576
Sacramento, CA 95814
Re: Unalienable Rights
Dear Senator Steinberg:
Why is it that every time one unfortunate citizen commits an horrific act, the response from those who should serve all citizens is the unimaginative proposal of new laws which only serve to do more harm?
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under the robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” C.S. Lewis.
With the ever cogent and poignant thoughts of Lewis in my mind, I read with great trepidation your efforts to generate more laws which infringe upon the unalienable rights of our fellow citizens.
Why is it that elected officials cannot seem to do anything positive to enhance the rights of all people? Why is it you proudly continue to propose solutions which have proven time and time again to be of no avail? In the instance of gun control, look at the cities in America which have the most draconian gun laws but yet have the highest homicide rates.
There is ample evidence that gun control laws serve only to make criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens. There is minimal to no evidence such laws serve any of their intended purposes
Vast numbers of Americans bear, per their constitutional right, vast numbers of arms and ammunition and do no harm to anyone. Why do you seek to punish them in what will only be a futile effort to effect the behavior of an extremely small minority of individuals?
You worry about semi-automatic weapons and large capacity magazines. Most any creative person who is so inclined could, with natural products available in any city park, build a bow and arrow. An explosive device made from products available in all hardware and drug stores could be made and attached to the arrow which, in turn, would do massive damage. How will any reasonably enforceable law prevent such behavior?
Per your resume, you attended and achieved some success in schools of education with solid academic reputations. Did you not learn to think rationally or develop some level of G.K Chesterton’s “Common Sense”? Apparently not. Maybe you just lack the fortitude to exercise your better instincts.
You have some history of making efforts to enhance mental health treatment. This type of positive action is what the situation requires.
We need to attack the root cause of violence. Our prisons are full of men and women from single parent homes who were physically, sexually, and emotionally abused as children and deprived of learning any concern for society. Single parent homes have proliferated due to the passage of laws which encourage divorce and, with disastrous results, financially reward women for having children out of wedlock. Either that or worse, paying for them to abort a life within them. A legislative act which is as abhorrent as any shooting spree at a grade school.
How can you suggest to one person that murder is wrong while the government sanctions and pays for the unnatural act of a mother killing a fetus?
Such laws, passed ostensibly by well meaning politicians, have aided and abetted the destruction of families but not provided any means to replace the basic core of society-the family unit. Indeed, there is nothing government can do in that regard. Our educational system does little or nothing to teach moral principles. It is too busy teaching the never to be proven irrational and morally deprived concept of “evolution.”
My purpose is not to deride you but to encourage you to think deeply, more logically, more positively, and to cease compounding problems with meaningless, useless, efforts to burden good citizens with more government invasion of their homes. Most citizens prefer not to be criminals but more and more, such laws as you and Senator Feinstein propose cause it to be impossible to escape from being one.
I encourage you to avoid pandering to the narrow minded few for short term temporal personal gain but to look deeply within your soul, heart, and mind and to provide leadership. I pray you will not use the excuse of saving one child to justify infringing upon the rights of all our children.
As would no reasonable, loving, objective person truly interested in the betterment of society, I would not propose committing such a crime against your children. I will, on the other hand, encourage my children to guard themselves, this country and your children against any invasion of and/or deprivation of their unalienable rights.
Peace and Love,
Ronald L. Roussey
