The John Kobylt Show

John and Ken have been on KFI for over thirty years and with Ken's recent retirement John now takes the show solo. John Kobylt digs into the news to uncover the real story hidden below the headlines. John regularly exposes liars and “spokesholes” while providing blunt, fast paced analysis of the latest news. Whether getting up to the minute information from reporters on scene, newsmakers that have the inside story, or contributors to the program, John Kobylt covers it all from crime, local politics, corruption, business, social issues, and more. John Kobylt can be heard LIVE Monday-Friday 1-4 p.m. on KFI AM 640.
