Conway rose to popularity as a longtime host on former FM talk station KLSX, first teamed with Doug Steckler who was followed as co-host by Brian Whitman. After the 2008 departure of Whitman, Conway hosted solo rather than adopting a new co-host. On February 19, 2009, both Whitman and Steckler were special guests on Conway's last show before KLSX flipped the format to Top-40.

KFI
Conway's weeknight show at KFI began on Monday, January 18, 2010, after Bryan Suits, who previously hosted the show at that time slot, decided to move back to Seattle. In line with the majority of KFI's programming, Conway discusses political topics, leaning more toward the right. Through July 17, 2015, on Friday nights, Conway was joined by comedian/writer Doug Steckler, his former co-host on KLSX. On Tuesday nights Conway is joined by Mark Thompson, Mark Thompson hosts a daily talk show in Los Angeles from 1p-3p on the most listened to talk radio station in the country, KFIAM 640 (available on the iHeartRadio app and at KFIAM640.com). Conway often jokes about his costly love of gambling, especially his (usually) losing bets on the horses.
Thursday nights from 8-9pm are reserved for Conway's game show, What the Hell Did Jesse Jackson Say?, in which the host plays mostly unintelligible sound bites of Jesse Jackson and listeners call in to guess what Jackson is saying.
Other Programs
Conway also co-hosts a weekly computer and technology show, Make It Work, with Jeremy Anticouni which airs every Saturday at 3PM on KSFO Hot Talk AM 560 in San Francisco with Make It Work co-founder Jeremy Anticouni.
