Mark Reardon
A nearly 30-year radio veteran, Mark is the host of “The Mark Reardon Show” and “Total Information PM” on KMOX from 2 – 6 p.m. every weekday. A Chicago native, he moved to St. Louis in 1979 and quickly became a Cardinals fan for life after the 1982 World Series.
After graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Mark spent the following 10 years in radio and television in Columbia, Missouri. His other radio gigs include stops at the former KSD-AM in St. Louis, WTMJ in Milwaukee and WGN in Chicago.
A big movie fan, who has reviewed films for 22 years, Mark is also a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association. His reviews are heard on KMOX, BXR radio in Columbia, Missouri and on KMOV Channel 4 in St. Louis.
He’s an avid cyclist, fisherman, hunter and is passionate about music—especially Bruce Springsteen. Mark is married and has two children, two dogs, three cats—and a very powerful vacuum.
