Radosh is a senior writer for ''[[The Daily Show with Trevor Noah]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jordan Klepper Returns To THE DAILY SHOW WITH TREVOR NOAH |url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Jordan-Klepper-Returns-To-THE-DAILY-SHOW-WITH-TREVOR-NOAH-20191216 |publisher=Broadway World |date=December 16, 2019}}</ref> Previously, he was a [[staff writer]] for ''[[The Daily Show]] with [[Jon Stewart]] and'' a contributing editor at ''[[The Week]].'' He writes occasionally for ''[[The New Yorker]]''. His writing has also appeared in ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', ''[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]'', ''[[GQ]]'', ''[[Mademoiselle (magazine)|Mademoiselle]]'', ''[[Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern|McSweeney's Quarterly Concern]]'', ''[[Might magazine|Might]]'', ''[[New York Magazine]]'', ''[[The New York Times]]'', ''[[Playboy]]'', ''[[Radar]]'', ''[[Salon.com|Salon]]'', ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'', and other publications. From 2000 to 2001, he was a senior editor for ''[[Modern Humorist]]''. In the 1990s he was a writer and editor at ''[[Spy (magazine)|Spy]]''. Radosh began his writing career at [[Youth Communication]] in 1985, where as a high school student he published more than a dozen stories in ''New Youth Connections'' (now ''YCteen''), a magazine by and for New York City teenagers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://youthcomm.org/who_we_are/alumni/alumni_R-S.html%23R |title=Youth Communication: Who We Are - Alumni - R-S |website=youthcomm.org |access-date=27 January 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130416075254/http://youthcomm.org/who_we_are/alumni/alumni_R-S.html%23R |archive-date=16 April 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

His blog, Radosh.net, was named one of the "top 25 blogs" by Time.com in 2008.<ref name="Time.com's First Annual Blog Index">"[http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1725323_1725329_1725404,00.html/ Time.com's First Annual Blog Index ] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080411013539/http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1725323_1725329_1725404,00.html |date=2008-04-11 }}", ''Time.com'', 2007</ref> As a blogger, he is probably best known for his public dispute with journalist [[Peter Landesman]], who wrote an article about [[sexual slavery]] in the January 25, 2004, issue of ''[[The New York Times Magazine]]'' titled "The Girls Next Door". When Radosh challenged the facts of the article, Landesman threatened legal action against Radosh. A series of articles about the dispute by [[Jack Shafer]] in ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' turned the issue of the article's accuracy — and of the legal rights and responsibilities of blogs — into one of the most controversial topics in journalism during the first half of 2004.<ref>"[https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2004/01/assessing-landesman.html Assessing Landsman]", ''Slate'', June 9, 2005</ref>

Much of Radosh's journalism is on lighter topics, however: the description for his blog is "Pop. Politics. Sex. So On." In pop-culture circles, Radosh is known for his obsession with tracing [[Huckapoo]]'s attempts to infiltrate popular consciousness. He also runs on his blog the New Yorker Cartoon Anti-Caption Contest, a spoof of ''The New Yorker''{{'}}s weekly cartoon caption contest.<ref name="Time.com's First Annual Blog Index" />

His first book, ''[[Rapture Ready!: Adventures in the Parallel Universe of Christian Pop Culture]]'', was published by [[Charles Scribner's Sons|Scribner]] in 2008.<ref>{{cite news |author1=Laura Collins-Hughes |title='In the Land of Believers' by Gina Welch |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-mar-02-la-et-book2-2010mar02-story.html |date=March 2, 2010}}</ref>
