Glenn Hauser (born April 12, 1945) is an internationally known AmericanDXer[1][2] andradio host fromEnid, Oklahoma. He produces and presents a weekly 30-minute program,World Of Radio,[3] heard on a number ofnon-commercialAM andFM stations throughout theU.S. and worldwide onshortwave.
Hauser began his broadcasting career onRadio Canada International during the late 1970s, providing DX tips on Sunday nights, and his tips also appeared onRadio Nederland'sDX Juke Box program. He wrote forPopular Electronics andModern Electronics, and publishedReview of International Broadcasting.[4]
World Of Radio debuted in 1980 onWUOT inKnoxville, Tennessee, moving to shortwave two years later. The half-hour program consists of Hauser reading news about radio around the world in a characteristic monotone. AlthoughWorld of Radio focuses on shortwave news, it covers all aspects of broadcasting. Most items are contributed by listeners to the program or DX publications.[5]

Hauser is a USAF veteran, a politicalliberal and anagnostic, which occasionally puts him at odds with thefundamentalist-dominatedAmerican shortwave scene.[citation needed]
