12-14-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Electors & Russians

I'm back again, live in the studio, with a busy show. Christine Pelosi (yes, one of Nancy's daughters) is an author, activist, attorney -- and a member of the Electoral College. Earlier this week, she wrote an open letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asking for a briefing about the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC to influence the election. We further emphasize Alexander Hamilton’s assertion in Federalist Paper #68 that a core purpose of the Electoral College was to prevent a “desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils.” The United States intelligence [...]

12-13-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Reality Sucks

I apologize for the delay in posting this show. I've been turned upside down and inside out of late -- sort of like this country. We have fallen through the looking glass and entered Opposite World©. I was actually out during this show -- I had my first three-month post-surgery follow-up with my oncologist. We did a CT scan last week, and this appointment was to go over the results. And the news is great. He said it all looks wonderful. So, three months from now, we'll do it again. But for now, I'm cancer-free! That's the good news. Part of what sent [...]

12-6-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Recounts & Other Madness with Brad Friedman & GottaLaff

With all of the misinformation being floated from fake and legit news sources alike, I thought we should find out what's really going on with the recounts, so I called on BradBlog's Brad Friedman, host of the BradCast, to bring us up to speed. Then, since it's Tuesday, GottaLaff joined us to continue our disbelief discussion too...

11-4-16 Nicole Sandler Show – It’s My Party (with Brad Friedman & Mimi Kennedy)

November 4. It's my birthday, and one for which I am incredibly grateful. I was diagnosed with and appear to have kicked cancer during my 56th year. Election Day, as it falls on the first Tuesday in November, occasionally falls on my birthday. My first presidential vote was cast November 4, 1980. I voted for Jimmy Carter, but Ronald Reagan was elected president on my 21st birthday! Fast forward to my 49th ... November 4, 2008, Barack Obama - our first African American president - was elected on my 49th birthday. Today I turn 47 and in a few days, [...]

Happy Birthday @NicoleSandler!

Some birthdays are more important than others. Today is my dear soul mate and radio host Nicole Sandler's most important birthday, at least to me. I say that because she's smack in the middle of bravely and successfully surviving the scariest moment of her life: her battle with lung cancer. And there's nothing like a life-changing moment like that to make me realize how precious friends are. Nicole, I'm so glad you were born and are still kicking serious ass. You've been the voice for so many who can't be heard, and you've provided welcoming arms allowing me to try [...]

10-21-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Jason Leopold & Bartiromo’s Boobs

Apologies for the titillating title, so to speak, but if you watched the Al Smith Dinner last night, you couldn't miss them. Now that that's out of the way... Jason Leopold was my guest today on the show. He's been making me as proud as ever to be his friend as I read and watch his work as an investigative correspondent for Vice News and the new nightly HBO show Vice News Tonight. Today, we discussed his being labeled a "FOIA Terrorist" by the government because of his expert use of the Freedom of Information Act to access information otherwise [...]

10-18-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Nicole’s Back!

I don't think my back ever looked like that. I had surgery to remove the cancers growing in my left lung seven weeks ago today. Just five weeks ago, it looked like this: That was a couple of weeks after my surgery to remove the lower lobe of my left lung and take a wedge from the upper lobe, where cancerous tumors made their homes. The numbers are the incisions for the Da Vinci Robotic surgery, as opposed to an open thoracotomy which is akin to torture. Aside from the site where the chest tube was (which still hurts like [...]

Saying No to Chemo!

It comes from nowhere, like the proverbial thief in the night sneaking up silently behind you to steal your life. Perhaps a better analogy is an earthquake, but only if you were trapped in the rubble, unable to climb out. It hits unexpectedly and leaves you to figure out how to survive. In a split second, everything changes. EVERYTHING changes the moment you’re told you have cancer. Once the shock wears off, if you’re like me, you get to work. In my case, the barrage of tests was supplemented with an avalanche of articles about each new term that was [...]

9-3-16 What a Difference 24 Hours at Home Makes…

That's me, sitting in my studio at the computer. I've been trying to start writing this post for about an hour now, but I keep getting distracted. I'm thinking it's the drugs. I'm only half-joking about the drugs. But I am, indeed, home, and feeling so much better than I felt in the hospital. I will sit myself down at this computer to write as much as I can remember about the surgery and the entire experience of the past week. But I wanted to pop in now- now that I've been home for a full day to give you the [...]

While I’m On Hiatus….

While I'm out, please explore the archives. There's close to 10 years of full shows, lots of interviews and some musical treats too. And it's all free. Well, on the honor system, anyway.  Since I'm trying to heal and hope to escape from politics while I'm on the mend, I thought I'd share some of the highlights of my career so you can escape the ugliness of this political season too. On The Nicole Sandler Show stream, I'm playing back dozens of my favorite interviews with musicians and rock stars from my many years in music radio.  Although I can't [...]
