Welcome to M and M Extra, the podcast extension of the radio relationship of talk show hosts Mike Gallagher and Mark Davis, whose decades of experience led to their partnership at Salem Media, where Mark welcomes Mike to his local show each day in Texas before Mike’s national broadcast. Those daily “M and M” moments led to the idea of a unique and deliciously unstructured session each day where these two iconic hosts summarize the day’s news and compare notes on countless other matters, large and small.
