Born and raised in Texas, James Parker launched his radio career right here in Dallas in 2002 before making his mark on stations across Oklahoma, SiriusXM, and New Orleans. Now back on home turf, he brings his sharp wit, libertarian edge, and signature Texas humor to The James Parker Show every afternoon.

James delivers a show that blends commentary, comedy, and listener participation—where current events meet pop culture and no topic is off-limits. Known for his creative flair and unconventional style, he brings a fresh approach to talk radio that keeps audiences engaged and entertained.

When he’s off the mic, James is in full-on dad mode with four grade-school kids—describing his daily life as “dancing through a tornado while playing with matches, running with scissors, eating gluten, and being emotionally crushed by the Cowboys.” He jokingly claims he’s a perfect mix of all four main characters from King of the Hill—and it shows.

James enjoys a good argument and welcomes differing opinions, believing that lively debate makes for better radio

Bold, funny, and authentically Texas — call in and join the chaos.
