Fox Nation to premiere 'The Age of Rush' on March 10

Former Vice President Mike Pence narrates a Fox Nation special about the late radio legend; coming soon

How did Rush Limbaugh, a shy college dropout, become the most powerful radio talk show host of all time? A new FOX Nation special, "The Age of Rush" examines the late conservative icon's life and legacy. 

Narrated by former Vice President Mike Pence, the four-part series is available now on Fox Nation.

Pence, a former radio talk show host in Indiana who once memorably described himself as "Rush Limbaugh on Decaf", has previously described Limbaugh as the "greatest champion" of conservative lawmakers.

Limbaugh, who passed away Feb. 17 at the age of 70 due to complications from lung cancer, was a fixture of the American media and political discourse for more than 30 years as host of "The Rush Limbaugh Show", which began national syndication in 1988. As he told one interviewer, Limbaugh "wanted to find out if I could be the reason people listen to radio."

"He taught generations of us real conservatism," said Fox News' Sean Hannity, who said at the time of Limbaugh's death that talk radio would not exist as it does today without Rush.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described Limbaugh's program as the "kind of magic that was unifying in educating the right in a way we've never seen before."

Gingrich has repeatedly credited Limbaugh's persistence and connection with his audience with helping the GOP win the House of Representatives in the 1994 midterm elections, the first time in 42 years Republicans controlled the lower house of Congress.

"I don't care what party is in power, Rush mattered," said "Fox & Friends" host Brian Kilmeade during the Fox Nation special.

Limbaugh's show led to a return to prominence for AM radio, which had been left for dead in the late 1980s. He was also credited with paving the way for popular hosts like FOX's Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, as well as Glenn Beck, Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager and dozens more.
