Welcome to 2023! With the new year, comes a new home for The Nicole Sandler Show podcast.

Hopefully, you won’t notice much difference. The show still airs live weekday afternoons from 5-6pm ET. After that, it’s available as a podcast. You can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, or download any episode directly from this page, or from each day’s show post.

The only difference is that if you’re looking through the blog for an older show, the audio/podcast embed may not work. But you can go to the new podcast page and search for the date of the show you want to hear, and it should come right up for you.

As with anything new, it’ll likely take a little while to iron out any problems. So please let me know about any bugs you encounter, and do tell me what’s working well too!

My show is not behind a paywall, though we do depend on your donations to keep it going.

Thanks for checking us out!

Thursdays with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-28-24

   Today is Thursday, so we have our weekly get-together with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com and the Blue America PAC. Last week, you may recall, Howie brought along a guest --Jersey City Mayor and already declared-candidate for NJ Governor in 2025 Steven Fulop. The conversation concerned the race to replace corrupt Sen Bob Menendez from NJ. Fulop had reversed his endorsement of Tammy Murphy (wife of NJ's current governor who's being term limited out of office) in favor of Congressman Andy Kim. Hmm, Murphy dropped out of the race just a couple of days later.... Today, among other stories, [...]

Barb McQuade Today on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-27-24

     This time she really will be here! I confirmed it. And I spent all day yesterday rebuilding my studio so I think I've exorcised the gremlins, at least for a little while. I hope... Barbara McQuade is a former US Attorney, professor at the University of Michigan Law School, co-hosts the #sistersinlaw podcast, and is an MSNBC legal expert. On top of all that, she just released a new book, ATTACK FROM WITHIN: HOW DISINFORMATION IS SABOTAGING AMERICA. We get to talk under the backdrop of NBC pulling back their offer to former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel [...]

Celebrating Women on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-26-24

     We cannot let the month of March - Women's History Month - end without a visit from Cultural HERstorian Amy Simon, creator of "She's History: The Most Dangerous Women in America Then and Now" and its various incarnations over the years. So Amy is here today to shine a light on some of our unsung heroines. It's fitting on the day that the Supreme Extreme Court heard the case the could roll back women's bodily autonomy rights to the stone age... But first, Rachel Maddow must have heard my pleas yesterday, and called out NBC News and [...]

Thursdays with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-21-24

     Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com has done a weekly segment with me on this show for more than a dozen years now. We mostly talk politics, often music and occasionally other subjects too. And fairly regularly, Howie brings along a guest. It's usually one of the Blue America-endorsed candidates, but today's guest is slightly different. Steven Fulop is the Mayor of Jersey City. Tonight he'll deliver his 11th State of the City address. He's already announced his candidacy for NJ Governor; that election happens in November of 2025. So you might ask, "why today?". Well, that has to [...]

Fighting Mad on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-20-24

     FIGHTING MAD: RESISTING THE END OF ROE V. WADE is the title of a new book of essays about the recent SCOTUS decision in Dobbs overturning a 50-year precedent that gave women "reproductive autonomy". One of the editors, Krystale E. Littlejohn guests today to showcase the wide range of experts fighting back for our rights. The title FIGHTING MAD also works when describing the Democrats who sat through another ridiculous episode of the GOP's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden this morning which was more of a circus than a hearing, deeply embedded in opposite world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kU4UosDaY4 [...]

The First Day of Spring(steen) & Jason Leopold Too on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-19-24

 Today ushers in the first day of Spring! It's only fitting that it's also the first day of the rebooted Bruce SPRINGsteen tour, and it's kicking off in Phoenix. It is Bruce so of course I'll be there. Yes, I'm giddy. There's nothing like a Springsteen concert! I'm glad today's guest is a fellow music lover. Jason Leopold's seeing him in LA on April 4... but he's not here to talk Bruce today. These days the man who's been dubbed the "FOIA Terrorist" by our government just launched "The FOIA Files," a weekly newsletter through Bloomberg News, for [...]

Democracy with Jamie Raskin on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-18-24

 The 2024 presidential election is in full swing. My husband David and I were fortunate enough to be at a Biden-Harris event in Tempe, AZ yesterday where the featured speaker was our favorite member of Congress, Jamie Raskin.I hope to have him on the show sometime soon for a real interview, but we got to say hello, shake his hand, take a photo and hear him speak for about 30 minutes. It was one of the best political speeches I've ever attended, and he did it extemporaneously - no notes, no teleprompter. Just his quick wit and brilliant mind.I started [...]
