He co-hosts Citizen Radio, which has been praised by Janeane Garofalo, Noam Chomsky, Robin Williams. He and his co-host were named by The Nation Magazine as top "media heroes". Most importantly Glenn Beck has called him a "doofus" and "goofball" and Jonah Goldberg refuses to fight him.

Press Reviews:
Watching Jamie reminds me of why I got into comedy. It is like watching a combination of George Carlin and Bill Hicksâ€
--JANEANE GAROFALO
"There are few truly insightful, passionate and hysterically funny political comedians around, and even fewer coming out of the States. New Yorker Jamie Kilstein is a shining light probing into the murkier corners of the religious right and corrupt politics of his homeland. Funny and penetrating, he's taken Bill Hicks' baton and run with it."
--TIME OUT LONDON
"Jamie Kilstein is one of the funniest and smartest humans on the planet: his rocket-powered wit leaves you gasping - for more: sheer brilliance."
World famous Philosopher and Professor --A.C Grayling
Jamie Kilstein is at once irresistibly endearing and wonderfully audacious. Watching his work is like going to cuddle a puppy and having it hump your leg. But funnier.â€
--Tim Minchin
"If you liked Bill Hicks... If you think comedy should be about something more than just froth and banter... If you want to hear someone standing-up for freedom of speech and smacking religious bigotry and political stupidity squarely in the face... then this hugely talented American is the guy for you."
--Time Out Critics' Choice
