100 Days in Trump Hell with Brian Karem on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-30-25

       We survived the first 100 days of Trump's hell, depending on what your definition of "survival" is. In my case - and for millions of others, I suspect - just barely. I had a truly difficult time of it the first time around. I never thought we'd be back in this position again. And at the time, I didn't think things could get much worse. Unfortunately, I was wrong on both counts. I'm just trying to get through this hell one day at a time right now. I've heard from quite a few listeners who appreciate [...]

Journalist Brian Karem Returns to the Nicole Sandler Show 2-18-25

    I didn't do a new show yesterday. That's because I was out at the Arizona state capitol in Phoenix protesting with a few thousand others. I will embed the videos I shot at the bottom of this post so you can see some of it for yourself. We must ALL step up in whatever ways we can to fight back against the oligarchy and preserve our democracy. Also, I will not be here tomorrow. I was able to get in to see an endocrinologist. Right now, I must take care of myself and try to get healthy again [...]

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 help [...]

Three Weeks To Go with Brian Karem on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-15-24

       We are now three weeks away from election day with, literally, the world at stake. Today, I welcome journalist, author, podcaster, White House Correspondent and musician with the perfect snarky sense of humor, Brian Karem, back to the show. We'll delve into opposite world and beyond, including that very weird Town Hall Meeting turned disco dance party at which TFG answered a few questions then decided he'd rather be a DJ than president. Weird is correct. Demented is probably more accurate... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOe9kMeh1Jw

Brian Karem Returns to the Nicole Sandler Show and I Have Some Questions – 7-24-24

      My first existential question is whether we, as a nation, are too broken. Our politics are broken. Our 'news' media is broken. Our ability to talk with one another is broken. Believe it or not, I'm not as depressed as I was yesterday (or the past few weeks), but that changes too... Journalist, columnist, author, podcaster, musician, dog lover, White House correspondent and Trump provocateur Brian Karem returns to talk about all of it on today's show...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgQIASfnNlU

Trump on Trial and Brian Karem Too on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-23-24

     Today was only the second day of Trump's first criminal trial and I honestly don't think he'll survive this one, let alone three more! But I guess we'll eventually find out. With no cameras allowed in the courtroom, the media is left to its own creativity to bring the action to the public. Some outlets are doing a better job of it than others, but I thought we'd call on an actual journalist to help us navigate the coverage. Brian Karem was the last man standing (literally) at Playboy where his official job title was senior 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 [...]

In addition to the usual holiday fare, this time of year brings with it hopes and dreams and wishes for a better future. All of those elements made it into Brian Karem's column at Salon.com last week in the form of a dream about a presidential speech. I enjoy Brian Karem's writing style, and actually heard that speech as I read it. So I thought I'd invite him on one last [...]

8-23-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Bingo with Brian!

  View on Zencastr   Big news... tonight is the first primary debate of the 2024 presidential season. There's also that Russian plane crash (the murder of Putin's #1 foe!) and Donny Jr and his sidekick being banned from the Fox Noise spin room... but we'll save those stories and the others bubbling under for the actual show. Our guest today is journalist Brian Karem. Yes, he is an actual journalist (we must point these things out nowadays), one of a seemingly dying breed. We'll talk about that too. Check out his podcast, Just Ask the Question and read his [...]

6-5-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Not Another Mundane Monday with Brian Karem

    https://media.zencastr.com/audio-files/5e0cc41aa9798f001400ff98/c1a6e8b1-1f86-4b81-91c1-367a062902ec.mp3     Welcome to the start of a new week. It's a Monday alright. Today was the day the government would have run out of money if Biden and McCarthy hadn't come to a deal on raising the debt limit. Depending on what you're reading or to whom you're listening, the deal was either a turd sandwich, Biden getting the best of the Republicans, Biden giving in to the Republicans, or a shit sandwich (I know, not much different from a turd sandwich -- it's all at the whim of the reader, er, eater). Anyway, Brian Karem [...]
