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!

Justice or Injustice with Lisa Graves – Nicole Sandler Show 2-20-24

     I had hoped that the Supreme Court would have handed down its decision on Trump's move to appeal the DC Circuit court's ruling that he has some made-up 'absolute immunity' from virtually any crime because he once occupied the Oval Office, but no such luck. Perhaps tomorrow when at least one decision from the Extreme Justices is expected. Regardless, Lisa Graves returns to the show today in her capacity as a private citizen who happens to have impeccable legal bona fides (just check out her bio at truenorthresearch.org). I'll get her thoughts on when, and how the [...]

2-19-24 It’s A Holiday But We’re Here with The F#*king News – Nicole Sandler Show

     If I hadn't taken last Monday off to hang with my daughter, I'd probably be enjoying a President's Day holiday off, but I couldn't justify it. Besides, I put together an open for Jonathan Larsen's The Fucking News segment, and I didn't want to wait another week to play it.

I’m back from Vacation and Howie Klein’s Here Too – Nicole Sandler Show 2-15-24

     I spent the last week enjoying my daughter's first visit to Arizona and honestly did my best to steer clear of the news as much as possible. She left last night and I've been catching up. Oh my, the shit really has hit the fan all week, and today is no exception. As I'm writing this and setting up today's show, Fani Willis is on the stand in Fulton County, GA in a suit brought by Trump allies attempting to have her removed from the case due to her alleged misconduct with a prosecutor she hired for [...]

New News, Old News, Lots of News and Then Some… Nicole Sandler Show 2-7-24

     When it rains it pours, and I'm not even in California anymore. After yesterday's long-awaited decision on the former guy's non-immunity, there was another opportunity to almost feel sorry for Republicans. The new, inexperienced and in-over-his-head Speaker of the House learned nothing from his Democratic predecessor who NEVER brought a vote to the floor without knowing she had the votes to win, lost... spectacularly. Of course, the assist goes to Rep Al Green of Texas, who left his hospital bed to vote, causing a tie, and another GQP loss. When I get through the new news, we'll [...]

No Immunity For TFG and a Tues Visit from Emptywheel- Nicole Sandler Show 2-6-24

   Because of big breaking news this morning, Marcy 'Emptywheel' Wheeler makes a special Tuesday appearance on the show to talk about the decision by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on TFG's claims of 'absolute presidential immunity.' As we knew, there is no such thing, and the bipartisan three-judge panel ruled so unanimously, releasing their decision this morning. Since I'm on vacation for a week after tomorrow, Marcy Wheeler jumped on the Zoom with me this morning to discuss what it all means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3GmSYezNpY

Now he's back with an imperative newsletter, The Fucking News (thefuckingnews.substack.com). And he joins me each Monday for a recap and a preview of what happened last week and what might and could happen in the week just [...]

Emptywheel Fridays! Marcy Wheeler joins Nicole Sandler 2-2-24

     Every Friday we get together with Marcy Wheeler who does real journalism over at emptywheel.net to get the latest on the various trials, hearing, indictments, and drama surrounding the failed, twice impeached former guy who once again wants to occupy the oval office (but is really only running because he sees it as his only way to stay out of jail). Today, Marcy explains the story she singularly broke regarding the warrants issued in the Hunter Biden so-called investigation and lots more. For some reason, the YouTube stream got horribly corrupted, so here's the clean version of [...]
