Kristen Meghan, Co-Host
A nonconformist believing that one should take a stand in educating themselves, Kristen Meghan spent nine years on active duty and saw, first hand, the over-regulation and contradictory actions within our government. After “blowing the whistle”, she left the military honorably and stronger than ever. Kristen is an Industrial Hygienist and Environmental Specialist and sciences fuel her distaste not only for the EPA, but the TSA.
Kristen Meghan and Tony Stiles met through mutual friend, Gary Franchi, while working on a NextNewsNetwork.com live broadcast in early 2013.
Nate Styles, Producer, Webmaster, & Graphic Designer
Nate Styles is talented. He wrote a long and wordy bio, but Tony edited it, and now this is what's left.
Nate and Tony are childhood friends and have been business associates since 2011. Nate is the architect behind the vitality of the Tony Stiles brand.
Neurotoxin, Writer & Analyst
Neurotoxin holds a dual Bachelor’s in Psychology and Political Science with a specialty in International Relations, and a Master’s in Social Work (MSW) with a specialization in Community Organizing. Politically, he considers himself a “structural anarchist”; a school of thought in political science that believes in treating all human institutions and power structures (government, religious, corporations, unions, etc.) as facts of nature that deserve to be accounted for but not accommodated. This school of thought dictates that policy ought to be driven by its expected outcomes for individuals based on an objective cost vs benefit analysis – with no regard to intentions or the well-being of institutions or power structures.
Neurotoxin and Tony met through social media. Due to their similar interests and education, yet unique professional paths and upbringing, Neurotoxin and Tony's specific brand of journalism is what makes the show content the greatest in modern radio.

Gary also serves as President and Executive Producer of Next News Network (N3), the first 24/7 liberty broadcast network.

John Yowan
John is on Twitter a lot. He doesn't like writing about himself because it's a distraction and you'll probably use what he says against him somehow.
Mathew Erickson III
A libertarian activist from Canton Ohio who served the Stark County Libertarian Party in 2009 as its first chair. His work as the Public Relations Manager, and Director of Communications in the Libertarian Party of Ohio, as well as hosting his own talk show and website called Libertarian Politics. Erickson had the pleasure of first learning of The Tony Stiles Show during that time period, and was honored to have him as an occasional guest on the show.
Erickson is an avid history buff, especially early American history. He originally became a libertarian for his son, in the hopes that He can leave a world better for him than the one He brought him into.
Bryan Denham
Denham is a small town boy who never grew up. He has a top notch education having a juris doctor degree and thriving legal practice, but yet drops more double negatives in a conversation than a bad SNL redneck skit. He is devoted to his God, to his wife, and to his two children.
Denham is a believer that a handupis better than a handout as he has been the person helping someone else up off the floor as well as the person on the floor. He believes that we do better as a society and individually when the government gets out of the way and only does only what is supposed to do rather than what it wants to do. He believes government is too big and should return to its limited role as the Founders envisioned. He is comfortable speaking with a hobo on the street or with arguing a case before a state supreme court. He takes people as he finds them and if they do not like him than to damn bad.
Also, it don’t matter who is in Austin, George Straight will always be the King.
Brian Abington
Abington spent the first two and a half decades of his life as an uptight neoconservative asshole. Growing up in a conservative Christian household that shielded him from all things that were 'displeasing to the Lord' and a church that taught him it was his role as a Christian to tell people how 'sinful they were,' made him a difficult person to be around.
Like most, Abington went through a transformation in his twenties. A breif attempt at college, followed by 6 years working as a sound engineer for a number of local bands did a lot to expose him to a wide variety of cultures, ways of thinking, and potheads who were actually successful and wealthy business people.
Brian Abington is a concealed carry advocate, a student of economics, and has an unhealthy obsession with high quality headphones and home audio gear.
Christopher Lewis
Christopher Lewis is a self-taught thinker in the Austrian tradition hailing from the statist wasteland known as New Jersey. After spending nearly ten years in the automotive industry, he bore firsthand witness to the destructive capacity of the housing bubble, falling personally victim to the havoc brought on by the stock market collapse. It was during that process when he finally saw with clarity the evils of state intervention, and has been an outspoken advocate for liberty, in all forms, ever since.
Now an insurance and catastrophe adjuster, the single father spends many a backyard barbecue, retreat, or really any opportune venue proselytizing and spreading the virtues of voluntary associations. It is the dream of a future world free of coercion which inspires him to keep fighting the good fight.
