A Break From Politics For a Fun Look Back at the Glory Days of Rock Radio – Nicole Sandler Show 4-22-25

         Today we'll take a break from the depressing, stress-filled world of news and politics to talk about the best job ever. Today's guest is Paul Rappaport who spent his career at Columbia Records promoting rock records to radio and wrote a wonderful book recounting those glory days, GLIDERS OVER HOLLYWOOD: AIRSHIPS, AIRPLAY AND THE ART OF ROCK PROMOTION. We'll get back to the news and crap tomorrow... https://youtu.be/4aqtKQ7xkMg

Another Monday with Jonathan Larsen & the F’n News on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-18-25

    The weekend was chock full of news, beginning with a SCOTUS surprise at 1am on Saturday morning. For the first time in a long time, they ruled the correct way. Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com joins me for our regular Monday debriefing session on what the hell is going on... Today I'll also share a couple of surprising NY Times opinion pieces. One from Larry David, the other from David Brooks (!) I told you they were surprising! https://youtu.be/Vjo4scfzIgg

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show — 4-18-25

       Each Friday, Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and I get together to recap much of the important news from the week just ending. It's a daunting task, but necessary at this strange and fucked-up time in history. Today, we covered Trump's attempts to mess with immigration, his continued actions in shutting down the government, shutting down the global economy and the end of his BS attempt to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine. We talked about yesterday's ruling from Judge Harvie Wilkinson dealing with the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador and the administration's disregard [...]

Thursdays with Howie Klein (and some GOOD News for a Change) -Nicole Sandler Show 4-17-25

         Howie Klein has been a regular weekly guest on this show for close to 15 years now. He writes at DownWithTyranny.com and runs the Blue America PAC where he champions the best progressive candidates running for office. Ten years ago, Howie successfully fought a rare form of cancer and enjoyed a clean bill of health for years. Unfortunately, a few months ago he was diagnosed with cancer again, this time pancreatic. I tell you this because today, at the time we usually speak, Howie will be at the hospital getting a chemotherapy infusion. As he [...]

Hard Truth Time with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-16-25

     Everything is FUBAR, and I'm not exaggerating. I constantly reiterate that it's almost impossible to keep up with all the shit that's hitting the fan. I should modify that to say that I personally cannot keep up with it all. But my friend Heather Parton, better known as Digby, does a great job of it with the help of Tom Sullivan, Spocko and Dennis Hartley at her wonderful Hullabaloo blog at DigbysBlog.net. We're midway through what is shaping up to be one of the worst weeks in an awful few months since this administration has been in [...]

DOGE Watch Time on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-15-25

     If it feels like things are spinning out of control, you are correct. If you're wondering why no one is doing anything, you're asking the wrong question. You should be asking the corporate media why they're not covering the opposition. There's a lot of it from all quarters. There's a lot of pushback and fighting, but the most important element is WE the People. Today, we'll speak with Jeff Hauser, the Executive Director of The Revolving Door Project. In addition to their mission of scrutinizing executive branch appointees to ensure they use their office to serve the [...]

F’n Monday with the Most F’d Up F’n News Yet on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-14-25

     Just when you think we've hit rock bottom, the magats in Dump-land prove that there is no bottom. Since we last spoke, the tariffs are on again, off again, temporary or permanent or paused for 90 days (and the stock market is up, down, up, down, ad nauseum); the administration is openly defying a Supreme Court ruling that tells them to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia; Trump and his sycophants brazenly lie about the whole thing in a bullshit Oval Office photo op; a domestic terrorist firebombed the home of Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro on [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-11-25

Every Friday, I join with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to recap much of what happened during the week. As has been the case every week since the inauguration, this week was a doozy. But as Marcy says, “gravity hit this week, in a big way.” Trump had his “liberation day” tariff announcement, causing the stock market to crash. Then he “paused” it (but not really), causing the market to spike before it crashed again. The DumpsterCoaster is one nauseating ride. Things may be coming to a head in this administration’s clash with the judiciary branch. The Supreme Court unanimously said yesterday that they must [...]

Yippy Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-10-25

   I'm not quite sure what "yippy" means, but the guy with the best words used it to explain (in Dump's case, that means 'lie') why he reversed himself on his tariffs yesterday. People were getting yippy? Maybe it means that they were pissed off that their portfolios and retirement accounts were hemorrhaging money? I wonder how they're feeling today... In case you weren't paying attention, after Dump 'paused the tariffs', the market went on a bit of buying spree yesterday. It seems obvious to me and many others that market manipulation and insider trading were a big part [...]

DumpsterCoaster Ride with Driftglass – Nicole Sandler Show 4-9-25

   If you're feeling nauseous right now, that's to be expected and you're not alone. Today, exactly one week after proclaiming it "liberation day" and a week of saying he wouldn't back down, the orange one pulled a 180 and said "never mind," pausing the "reciprocal tariffs" for 90 days, except for China and 10% for everyone else. Huh? If you're confused, you're also not alone. But as I said on Monday after noting that RUMORS of him 'pausing' the tariffs caused the stock market to rebound temporarily, letting us know that there is a way to reverse the [...]
