Mississippi's Top 50 Most Influential
While most Mississippians are sleeping, Paul Gallo is preparing his long-running talk show on SuperTalk. Gallo has three hours a day with the movers, shakers, and playmakers in state government and a few hundred thousand Mississippians every weekday morning. His radio show on SuperTalk, aired throughout Mississippi from the Coast to Corinth, has become a must-listen-to program to stay up to date and in the know on Mississippi politics. It’s also one of the very few long-form discussion policy forums that exists anywhere in the state.
Gallo has been in the radio business for over 48 years doing everything from management and advertising sales to working in the newsroom.
Now, he has what most broadcasters dream of – a high-impact forum that helps guide the conversation statewide. Whether he’s interviewing the Governor, a legislator, a political party chair, or policy analysts, Gallo uses his flair for mixing important news with a welcoming atmosphere to engage listeners and policymakers alike. His forum and his reach makes Gallo a necessary stop on any policy issue or reform being pursued in Mississippi government.
Mississippi Top 50 is an annual list of the people who are judged to be the most influential leaders in the state. This bipartisan selection of leaders comes from the ranks of elected and appointed officials, economic development professionals, business, media and government affairs. The awards are sponsored by Y’all Politics and Supertalk Mississippi and awardees were nominated through an open process.
