Wednesday Wisdom with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-13-24

     Because sometimes you just need to sit with a brilliant friend and shoot the shit about all the craziness in our world. That's how I approach the shows when Heather "Digby" Parton is our guest. Digby is, of course, one of the OG bloggers of progressive politics. Her Hullabaloo blog is still a daily must-read, as are her columns at Salon.com. I love it when Digby is my guest because I truly adore her and love our conversations, which can go in any direction. We never know where it'll go until the interview progresses. Too bad there's [...]

11-8-23 Nicole Sandler Show — Election Wins, Morality Loses

View on Zencastr War is ugly. Always is, always has been. There's a famous poster from the Vietnam War era that reads "War is not healthy for children and other living things". Sometimes we must restate the obvious and still, people who need to hear it just won't listen. Today, I'll speak with law professor, author and podcaster Jennifer Taub with whom I have formed a bond, out of necessity as I wade through the ugly and abusive social media waters looking for a sympathetic voice. Those voices seem more difficult to find as the ones who want to [...]

11-14-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Marcy Monday Another Emptywheel Update

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I've been consumed by the midterm elections for the past few weeks. Now that it's (almost) all over, it's time to figure out what's been happening with the numerous investigations into the former guy and his sycophantic insurrectionist followers. For that, we turn to Marcy Wheeler, independent journalist extraordinaire, who covers it all at emptywheel.net.  And you can now find her on Mastadon too, @emptywheel@mastodon.social. Lots to talk about today from the elections to Merrick Garlands progress, to the 1-6 committee and [...]

11-11-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Outstanding Friday

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We have so many words the mean more than one thing in the English language. One of those words is "outstanding." In thinking about the midterm elections, outstanding works on both levels. Outstanding describes the feeling while watching TFG's teflon finally wearing off. Outstanding is how I'd describe yesterday's NY Post front page. But also outstanding (though under the other meaning) are the results of three senate races and a few dozen House races that will determine which party controls Congress. One of [...]

11-10-22 11-10-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Post-Election Thursday with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We're sill awaiting election results that will determine which party controls either or both Houses of Congress, but the big news is that the much-hyped coming Red Wave or Red Tsunami never materialized. I never bought it, but it's time for a major reckoning on how the corporate media enthusiastically and completely parroted the pollsters' partisan and slanted findings as fact, bowing to the idea of a horse race over being careful not to obscure actual facts. So, though there are still [...]

10-27-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursday with Howie Klein AND Define American

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We have a busy show on tap today. As we do most Thursdays, we'll check in with Howie Klein at around the :30 minute mark. We're just over a week away from the end of this 2022 midterm election cycle. Howie's got an interesting article up at DownWithTyranny.com about which Democrats still in the running actually have a shot at winning and can most use our help. Plus, he has a new post up about the Ramones that I'll have to ask [...]

10-12-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Four Weeks Out Jeff Sharlet Weighs In

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   One of the best parts of this job is that I get to speak with some amazing people. I first met Jeff Sharlet over a decade ago when I interviewed him for his brilliant book, "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power." The book, and the one that followed, C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy are the basis of the Netflix series, "The Family." They detail the very secretive but omnipresent religious group that somehow straddles [...]

11-20-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Coup or No Coup? with John Nichols & ‘Boca’ Brit Somers

Download here or click below to play   We wrap up another week today with the squatters in the White House trying to upend democracy and reverse the results of the election. I'll have the latest on Trump's attempts to subvert the will of the people in Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. John Nichols, National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation, joins us from Wisconsin, where the orange one has demanded another recount that won't change anything. In the second part of the show, I'm joined by "Boca" Britany Somers. This week has been Transgender Awareness Week, and today is Transgender Remembrance [...]

11-13-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Fri the 13th 2020 with Thomas Frank and a Winner Declared

Download here or click below to play   I was dreading this Friday the 13th because, after all, this is 2020. But it's turning out to be a pretty good day! The major news organizations all today finally called the races that were outstanding. With GA going to Biden, the final electoral vote tally is 306-232, the same numbers that saw Trump beating Clinton in 2016. An outcome he called a landslide! I had originally invited Thomas Frank -journalist, historian, and author (The People, No among others)-  to join me on Nov. 4, the day after the election. Because of [...]

11-9-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Welcome to the Interregnum (or Donald is a Lame Duck)

Download here or click below to play     When we last met on Friday, it was apparent that Joe Biden would be the 46th President of the United States, but none of the usual suspects would make the call. So it dragged on for another day before CNN called Pennsylvania for Biden, pushing his total of Electoral College Votes past the 270 needed to win. And the other news organizations all fell into place. The only entities not willing to concede that Trump lost are the Trump campaign and administration. I'll spend most of the show today bringing you [...]
