5-12-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein and Tom Nelson for Wisconsin
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We're now two weeks in to primary season for the 2022 midterms, and it's too soon to declare any trend. But we can still be terribly frightened of what's to come. The candidates endorsed by Howie Klein's Blue America PAC represent our best hope of taking the US off the rightward track toward fascism. Today, we'll be joined by Tom Nelson, the progressive running for the Democratic nomination in the senate race from WI to take on Ron Johnson. But first, [...]
5-11-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Inflation and More Back to Haunt Us with Jonathan Larsen
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Inflation sucks. It sucked back in the 70s and 80s too. It's a word we hadn't hear much about in recent years... there was plenty more to terrorize us even without the specter of inflation. But like war, it's back and we're trying to figure out how to deal with it. This morning, Jonathan Larsen sent me a link to an article he wrote, "How Trump Caused Inflation: Trump Blocked Regulations Against Price Manipulation; Biden Has Yet to Acknowledge the Problem"-- and I [...]
5-10-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Deep Driftglass Thoughts
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) The old adage goes something like "may you live in interesting times"... well, at least we've got that doing for us. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for boring times. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll see that type of phenomena any time in the near future. But navigating these *interesting* moments that keep coming at us is often treacherous. Sometimes you need to consult one of the deep thinkers of our time to try to put things in perspective. We'll do [...]
5-9-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Celebrating Victory Day!?!
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) The news geniuses tied themselves in knots over the past couple of weeks, speculating on what Putin was going to do to commemorate Victory Day-- May 9-- which is today! The annual holiday is set aside to honor the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.... It originated in the 15 republics of the Soviet Union after the German Instrument of Surrender was signed late at night on May 8, 1945. The breathless predictions from our corporate media were everything from "Russia [...]

5-6-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Wrapping Up the Week with FOIA Master Jason Leopold
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) No clever title for this episode. I was toying with "FOIA Terrorist for Hire" or "BuzzFeed Fire Sale" but I figured that the most important part of it is that Jason Leopold is my guest today. Jason has been a senior investigative reporter for BuzzFeed News since 2016. During his time there, he broke a number of huge stories, got nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and solidified his place as the foremost FOIA expert in media today. Despite all of that BuzzFeed has [...]
5-5-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Santa Claus for Alaska
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) It's a busy Thursday on the show.... I had taped a segment with Lisa Graves, legal expert for the Nicole Sandler Show (with credentials that make her the only person for that job!), expecting to run it yesterday. But the phones were on fire, and I wanted to take your calls as long as you wanted to talk. So today, we'll begin with Lisa Graves, who shares her legal expertise with us about the tidal wave of Supreme Court injustice that just [...]
5-4-22 Nicole Sandler Show – One Step Up and Fifty Years Back
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I'm still reeling from the leaked draft of a SCOTUS opinion that we weren't supposed to see for another seven or eight weeks. But thanks to someone with a conscience who had access to the first draft of Justice Alito's opinion in the case that will determine the future of women's right to choose what happens with our bodies, we have the information early. That should allow our side to fight back effectively, but it is the Democratic Party we're talking about here, [...]
5-2-22 Nicole Sandler Show – On the Bernie Trail Again with Ari Rabin-Havt
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Regular listeners of this program know that I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter. I have been since long before he ever decided to run for office. In fact, he used to come on my show fairly frequently. Now? Well, he came on once for a quick hit early in the 2020 campaign, but he's a tough 'get' these days. The last time I did speak with Bernie Sanders, it was because of Ari Rabin-Havt. I first *met* Ari when he worked for Media Matters. [...]
4-29-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Government Sanctioned Extortion and the Awesome Danica Roem
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I took the day off yesterday, not to rest up or have fun, but to fight with my health insurance extortionists. For as long as I can remember, I've called our for-profit system of heath noncare "government-sanctioned extortion," because that's the best description of this predatory system. Yesterday, I found out that due to a few elements aligning in just the right way, I'm no longer eligible for the help from the pharmaceutical company that manufactures the more obscenely expensive prescription drug [...]
