Mark Walters, host of Armed American Radio, has been honored as one of the “Heavy Hundred” by TALKERS Magazine, cementing his place among the most influential talk radio hosts in America.
The TALKERS Heavy Hundred list, now in its 30th year, is considered the gold standard for talk radio.
It highlights hosts who shape public opinion and stand out in a crowded media landscape. Walters, ranked at #91 for 2025, has built his reputation on fearless, liberty-driven commentary and a relentless defense of the Second Amendment.
“As I’ve mentioned before, I think every Radio host in the nation quietly awaits the release of this list every year, wondering if they will ever see their name on it.” Walters said when asked about the recognition. “It is truly an honor to rank on this list and honestly, I couldn’t have done it without all of our great partners, sponsors, affiliates, and most importantly our fans. A huge thank you to everyone. You have my commitment to keep up the fight louder than ever before.”
TALKERS evaluates hosts on 11 criteria, including impact, courage, talent, and entrepreneurship—qualities Walters has demonstrated by keeping gun rights at the forefront of his show while navigating a media environment increasingly hostile to firearms and personal freedom.
Walters is no stranger to pro-2A circles. A longtime contributor to AmmoLand News, and a frequent guest on Cam Edwards’ Cam & Co., he also serves on the board of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. His recent partnership with the NRA marks another milestone in a career defined by advocacy for gun owners nationwide.
Joining Walters on the 2025 list are heavyweights like Sean Hannity, Dana Loesch, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and Ben Shapiro. For Walters, standing shoulder to shoulder with such names while focusing on “guns, freedom, and things that go bang” is a major accomplishment in a field often wary of pro-gun voices.
The recognition comes as Walters and his guests continue to highlight abuses like ATF misconduct and fight back against policies that infringe on the rights of lawful gun owners. For fans of Armed American Radio, this honor is proof that their voices are being heard loud and clear.
Listeners can tune in to Armed American Radio for bold, unfiltered commentary on the fight for freedom. As Walters likes to say, “They don’t want me to talk about this stuff… so I talk about it louder.”
