Trump on Trial and Brian Karem Too on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-23-24

     Today was only the second day of Trump's first criminal trial and I honestly don't think he'll survive this one, let alone three more! But I guess we'll eventually find out. With no cameras allowed in the courtroom, the media is left to its own creativity to bring the action to the public. Some outlets are doing a better job of it than others, but I thought we'd call on an actual journalist to help us navigate the coverage. Brian Karem was the last man standing (literally) at Playboy where his official job title was senior White [...]

1-30-24 Nicole Sandler Show – Let’s Try This Again with Brian Karem

Shit happens. Last Wednesday, we were expecting journalist Brian Karem to pop into the Zoom room at any moment. That moment never came. When I invited Brian on the show, he told me that he had pool duty that day, but should be on the tarmac at LAX where he could jump on the air with me while waiting for the Vice President to get back to the plane. Unfortunately, the Secret Service had a different idea that day, and Brian was unable to join us. So we'll try again today when, I think, he'll be in a more [...]

In addition to the usual holiday fare, this time of year brings with it hopes and dreams and wishes for a better future. All of those elements made it into Brian Karem's column at Salon.com last week in the form of a dream about a presidential speech. I enjoy Brian Karem's writing style, and actually heard that speech as I read it. So I thought I'd invite him on one last [...]

8-23-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Bingo with Brian!

  View on Zencastr   Big news... tonight is the first primary debate of the 2024 presidential season. There's also that Russian plane crash (the murder of Putin's #1 foe!) and Donny Jr and his sidekick being banned from the Fox Noise spin room... but we'll save those stories and the others bubbling under for the actual show. Our guest today is journalist Brian Karem. Yes, he is an actual journalist (we must point these things out nowadays), one of a seemingly dying breed. We'll talk about that too. Check out his podcast, Just Ask the Question and read his [...]

6-5-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Not Another Mundane Monday with Brian Karem

    https://media.zencastr.com/audio-files/5e0cc41aa9798f001400ff98/c1a6e8b1-1f86-4b81-91c1-367a062902ec.mp3     Welcome to the start of a new week. It's a Monday alright. Today was the day the government would have run out of money if Biden and McCarthy hadn't come to a deal on raising the debt limit. Depending on what you're reading or to whom you're listening, the deal was either a turd sandwich, Biden getting the best of the Republicans, Biden giving in to the Republicans, or a shit sandwich (I know, not much different from a turd sandwich -- it's all at the whim of the reader, er, eater). Anyway, Brian Karem [...]

Hopefully all will be well, and Howie will be back next [...]

11-9-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Post-Mortemizing the Midterms with Dark Brandon, Brian Karem and You

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Well, I'm feeling slightly vindicated today. I told you yesterday that I did not trust the polls and the corporate media's breathless horse race -like obsession over them, regardless of the political leanings of each particular polling company. And I was correct. There was no Red Tsunami, no red wave, more like a ripple, but unfortunately a ripple without enough resistance that'll allow it to take control of the House and possibly even the Senate. Today on the show, we'll go through [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     Today, I'm joined by Brian Karem, who we came to know as the reporter who regularly challenged the former guy when he covered the White House for Playboy. He's now writing for Salon, hosting the Just Ask the Question podcast and trying to keep them all honest. I realized that so much has happened since the last time he was with us, so today a round up of wtf has happened and a discussion about how and if we can fix [...]

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Most of us learned of Brian Karem through his tough questions from the White House Press Briefing Room during the former administration. His willingness to stand up to the authoritarian regime and ask important questions prompted me to invite him on this program a few times. Now he's become one of my favorite guests. He was here last month to talk about his new book, Free the Press and he told us he was headed to Ukraine. Now he's back, and [...]

3-1-22 Nicole Sandler Show – War and Peace and Journalism with Brian Karem

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   It's now Day 6 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Russian propaganda is being spread thickly. I think it's the same people who want to do their own vaccine research, as if anything they find out will be more credible than the world's scientific community. In this case, Vladimir Putin has invaded and is waging war on an innocent neighboring nation, simply because Vlad wants his Soviet Union back. But these idiots are echoing his propaganda, claiming that the [...]
