| Brooklyn GOP Radio,is an internet based weekly radio show sponsored by the Kings County Republican Committee and hosted by (l-r) Gene Berardelli & Russell Gallo. Check out the show on BlogTalkRadio and its pages all over social media! |
But it's not all business on air - in fact, there's rarely a dull moment. Sarcasm is a second language on Brooklyn GOP Radio, as evidenced by the wildly successful "Buffoon of the Week", where the hosts will nominate a public figure and hold him/her out for ridicule for some dubious distinction ripped from the headlines, culminating at the end of the year with "Buffoon of the Year" honors bestowed upon the truly deserving!

| Gene Berardelli |
GENE BERARDELLI: Having earned a B.A. in Government and International Studies from Manhattan College and a law degree from Quinnipiac University School of Law, Gene is a civil litigator with a boutique law firm in New York. Gene is the current Law Chairman of the Kings County Republican Committee. He is also a former candidate for NY City Council in 2009.
Gene's path to politics started in community service. From 2006 to 2010, Gene donated his time serving as General Counsel for the Sheepshead Bay / Plumb Beach Civic Association. Gene is also responsible for the “Brigham Street Park Project”, an initiative program he spearheaded that resulted in the creation of a community-based design plan for a seaside park which officials at the city and state levels of government have already allocated $3,500,000.00. Brigham Park will be built in the near future.
Gene is the founder of Brooklyn GOP Radio - he handles the bookings and all the technical nuts and bolts that make the show happen while trying to be the ringleader of what sometimes turns into a three-ring circus run amok! He mostly moderates the debate, but can go off on a rant with the best of 'em!

| Russell Gallo |
RUSSELL GALLO: Russell Gallo has both academic and real-world political experience. He earned a B.A. in Government from John Jay College, and an M.A. in Political Science from Brooklyn College. Russell ran in 2005 for City Council and in 2012 for State Assembly. From 2005 to 2013 he was the elected Male District Leader for the 47th Assembly District, and is a former President of the Brooklyn Young Republicans.
He has also served as Campaign Manager for Bob Capano's 2009 City Council campaign as well as the 2010 campaigns for Ken Rice for City Council and Phyllis Carbo for Assembly. He was also the Brooklyn GOP liaison for Dan Donovan's campaign for Attorney General and Harry Wilson's campaign for State Comptroller. In 2006, Russell also served as a community liaison for Senator Marty Golden. Russell is also currently co-host of "Brooklyn GOP Radio", an innovative internet radio show. Russell is also no stranger to service. Serving this nation for over 17 years, Russell has served in the Army (where he was an MP in Iraq in 2004-2005) and currently holds the rank of First Sergeant in the National Guard.
Quite simply, Russell is the on-air engine that makes Brooklyn GOP Radio go. His uncensored, no-holds-barred no-apologies style makes him a lightning rod that makes listeners think and react. But he's not all bravado - he backs it up with spot-on political analysis.
"CRACK STAFF": There's virtually nothing he doesn't know about politics. He has years of political statistics seemingly at his fingertips. But "Crack Staff" is shrouded in mystery. Who is he? What is his background? Why does he know so much. All we do know is he is a fountain of knowledge and he's on our side... for now.

CO-HOSTS: Though there never seems to be enough microphones to go 'round, Brooklyn GOP Radio sometimes features some colorful, sometimes off-kilter, co-hosts that add some spice to the proceedings.
