Wednesday Wisdom with Will Bunch on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-20-24

     **Program Note*** I had major YouTube issues today, so I finally cut the video and just continued audio only for most of the show. You'll be able to get the full audio podcast on my website at https://nicolesandler.com/11-20-24 or subscribe to the podcast on Spotify (no paywall, though your donations and support are what keep me on the air)... Sorry for the inconvenience.  NS I'm not too keen on the corporate media these days. With a few shining examples to the contrary, most of the media learned nothing from our recent history of presidential election coverage other [...]

A Day with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-19-24

She really needs no introduction- but in case you haven't been paying attention, Heather "Digby" Parton is one of the OG bloggers who took to this medium at its inception around the turn of the century... She launched her must-read Digby's Hullaballoo, still going strong- these days at digbysblog.net, and writes a regular column for Salon.com. Her words are some of the first I read each day and our conversations are some of my favorite over the many years I've been doing this show. Today is the first time we'll speak since our world turned upside down on Nov [...]

We’re Back with Your F’ing News-Nicole Sandler Show 11-18-24

     I took last week off to work through my grief, something that I realize will take much longer than a week. But it's a start... I've heard from quite a few listeners who seemed to be suffering with the same symptoms that paralyzed me for the better part of the time since Nov 5. Panic attacks know no logic and they're relentless. As you regular listeners know, I don't hold much back. Today I'll attempt to share as much as I can without falling apart. But here's where we can help each other. So please use this [...]

The Rest of the Week

As you no doubt know by now, I took this week off. I  apologize for being off the air during such a crucial time in our history when so many are feeling distraught. But I am one of them, and I've been using this week to try to strengthen my emotional core. I hope you understand. I had planned on posting the "best of" shows we ran on the Progressive Voices network this week each day, but honestly, there were some days I couldn't even get out of bed. So today, I'll post the others that ran this week to [...]

Today’s Best of — from 1-16-24 Trans Rights are Human Rights

 I'm out this week taking care of my mental health, so I'm running some shows from this year that deserve another listen, especially right now. Today, from January 16: The Trump slide into fascism has brought with it some dangerous new trends like the banning of books, whitewashing history and a massive backsliding of personal rights like abortion and bodily autonomy. One of the most heinous attacks has been on the rights of people to live their own authentic lives. I’ve been hyper-focused on what’s going on in Florida as I lived there for much of my [...]

Veterans Day Music Show and a Week Off

    I'm one of millions of Americans who have been suffering from stress, anxiety and worse this week. I tried to go on as usual last week with limited success,. So this week I'm taking it a step further. I'll be off all week tending to my mental health, hoping to return next week feeling better and more prepared to take on the new challenges thrown in our collective path. I found and am seeing a new therapist who I hope will help, and am giving myself room to grieve. Thank you for bearing with me while I try [...]

     We're still here. A bit battered and tattered and dejected, but we're grieving. We'll get through this. Today, Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net has a bit of a reality check for us. There's no sugar coating it, it's bad. But not ALL of it is bad. And I'll share some small good news too. We could all use some more of that. Breathe.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEn3_tfDUBU

Be Back Tomorrow

Sorry to do this, but I'm going to stand down again today. My mind is not dealing well with our new reality and I'm trying to take care of myself. So I apologize, but won't be doing a show today. I will be back tomorrow with Marcy Wheeler for another Emptywheel Friday. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Nicole

Worst Deja Vu ever, with Brian Karem on the Nicole Sandler Show – 11-6-24

     I was hoping that after the uncertainty cleared and we got past Nov 5 that things would return to a surreal sort of sanity, but I'm not sure sane will be part of the American lexicon again. It would be very easy for me to remain in bed with the blankets pulled up over my head to avoid dealing with the world, but that certainly wouldn't end well. Thankfully, one of my favorite journalists - one who's not afraid to speak truth to power- Brian Karem (Salon.com, JustAskTheQuestion.com, "Free the Press"...) agreed to join me today to [...]
