Independence Day Eve with John Fugelsang on the Nicole Sandler Show – 7-3-24

    Tomorrow is the day we set aside to celebrate America's independence from the monarchy. Thanks to the Extreme Court's ruling announced yesterday, it might be our last one. I could think of no better guest for this wake than my old friend - comedian, actor, broadcaster John Fugelsang. It's been too long since we've spoken. But I've always marveled at his inherent ability to make us laugh in the face of things the are simply not funny. He's got a high bar to clear today, but I have no doubt that he will. Reminder, I'll be here [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show (SCOTUS/Debate edition) – 6-28-24

       It's time for our weekly get-together info download with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. And it's another week ending with out disbelief over what's happening in our corner of the world.... After last night's debate and this morning's group of SCOTUS rulings, I can't help but envy Marcy's living in Ireland. Today, we try to make sense of all that happened this week. Again, buckle in. It's a rough road ahead. As promised, the link to read and subscribe to Heather Cox Richardson's substack is heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.  Click here for last night's newsletter which was her take on [...]

Thursdays with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-14-24

     It's Thursday, so time for our weekly get-together with Howie Klein of downwithtyranny.com & the Blue America PAC. This week, both Biden and TFG clinched their party's nominations, so buckle in for a loooonger than our already ridiculously long election season and all that comes with it. There's lots of political news to discuss with Howie today, but I'll certainly save a few minutes to talk about this week's losses (of some amazing musicians)... I played a song  at the top of the show from a bunch of Nashville based artists supporting Gloria Johnson for Senate (she's [...]

White Rural Rage with Tom Schaller & Paul Waldman on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-6-24

     A new book is out and making waves because it points out an ugly truth about a huge swatch of this nation. Following yesterday's Super Tuesday primaries, the top of the 2024 presidential ticket is now set. It'll be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, as if we didn't know that would be the case. What has changed is the political landscape of middle America - or Rural America. Tom Schaller, Political Science Professor at University of Maryland, Baltimore and journalist/columnist Paul Waldman have co-authored a new book that helps to explain the divide: WHITE [...]

1-30-24 Nicole Sandler Show – Let’s Try This Again with Brian Karem

Shit happens. Last Wednesday, we were expecting journalist Brian Karem to pop into the Zoom room at any moment. That moment never came. When I invited Brian on the show, he told me that he had pool duty that day, but should be on the tarmac at LAX where he could jump on the air with me while waiting for the Vice President to get back to the plane. Unfortunately, the Secret Service had a different idea that day, and Brian was unable to join us. So we'll try again today when, I think, he'll be in a more [...]

We have no guest today, just lots of news and clips to support my conjecture, and an open phone line at 954-889-6410 should you care to join in.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsVYzHo9LSk

2-8-23 Nicole Sandler Show – State Of The Union – Springsteen Split Screen

I'd been upset about missing my first Bruce tour since 1980, but that's what I'd resigned myself to since Ticketmaster instituted their "dynamic pricing," which escalated ticket prices into the stratosphere, especially at the [...]

11-9-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Post-Mortemizing the Midterms with Dark Brandon, Brian Karem and You

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Well, I'm feeling slightly vindicated today. I told you yesterday that I did not trust the polls and the corporate media's breathless horse race -like obsession over them, regardless of the political leanings of each particular polling company. And I was correct. There was no Red Tsunami, no red wave, more like a ripple, but unfortunately a ripple without enough resistance that'll allow it to take control of the House and possibly even the Senate. Today on the show, we'll go through [...]

10-6-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) It's Thursday, the day of the week that Howie Klein joins in. Howie was president of Reprise Records when I first met him, probably 25-30 years ago in LA. So our discussions often veer off into the music world. Just some context there. Since leaving Reprise and Warner Bros, Howie's been ensconced in progressive politics. He blogs at DownWithTyranny.com and runs the Blue America PAC along with Heather Digby Parton and John Amato. His latest piece up at DWT is "Good for [...]
