Host and Commentator
“One of the many advantages of Catholic life is that we need not start constantly from scratch. We can learn the fullness of truth through a golden thread of saints, sages, and statesmen throughout history as well as be on guard against the mistakes and misconceptions of others—most of which have been around since antiquity—based on authoritative refutations of those errors. Eternal Christendom enters the scene as an urgent resource at a moment of profound renewal and reinvigoration for the Church, which is—and I’m not the first to say it—necessarily both ever ancient and ever new. Their vision is inspiring. It will help to bring many people into the Church and help Catholics already in the Church deepen their lives with Christ within Her bosom.”
Michael Knowles is the celebrated host of The Michael Knowles Show at the Daily Wire and The Book Club at PragerU.

In 2021, Michael published his first book with words, Speechless, which also reached #1 on the national bestseller chart.
In early 2020, Michael teamed up with Senator Ted Cruz to launch Verdict, which quickly rose to the top spot on the charts across all podcasts.

Also that year, Michael was named a Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute.
Michael has received numerous honors, including the Fr.
