James Golden

Who is James Golden?

James Golden, under the pseudonym "Bo Snerdley," serves as call screener, producer, and engineer for the syndicated Rush Limbaugh radio talk show. Since 2001 he has been a Producer/Executive for Premiere Radio Networks, the largest radio syndication company in the United States.

Although Golden works from a control booth off the air, a 2008 New York Times Magazine profile of Limbaugh reported that during the show, Golden "banters with and occasionally badgers Limbaugh via an internal talk-back circuit." On occasion, Golden has been accorded airtime on the program. In February 2008, Golden, who is black, was assigned a satirical cameo role by Limbaugh as the show's Official Criticizer of Barack Obama; the role has become an irregular recurring feature.

He is a Senior Partner of Golden Creative Communications, LLC.

In his early twenties, Golden worked at radio station WWRL as a Marketing and Research director, and later served as the radio station's first Music Research director. From 1992 to 1998, Golden co-hosted a political call-in show, James and Joel, on WABC radio in New York.
