A note from Nicole – Thursday 10-31-24

I apologize for being off the air for the past couple of days. As you know if you've been watching and/or listening for any amount of time, I've been having a rough time dealing with the run-uo to the end of this seemingly interminable election season. I could explain further, but I think you already understand. Judging from the emails I've received, I'm not alone. I wrote this up last night and posted it on Facebook. I figured I should share it here as well... And a heads-up. I just finished recording tomorrow's Emptywheel Friday episode with the great Marcy [...]

8-4-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Beating the Blues (Anxiety & PTSD Too)

View on Zencastr It's Friday! But even those two smile-inducing words just don't do it for a lot of people who are suffering from depression and its related disorders including anxiety and stress. Some of us have been battling at least one of those conditions for decades *including me. I was fascinated from the moment I heard that scientists were looking toward psychedelics to treat PTSD and some other mental health issues, and have kept an eye out for updates. Well, it's now 2023(!), and it's a lot more commonplace than most people realize. I'm one of those with TRD [...]

11-29-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Misery Loves Company

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) After a look at what's happening in our world today, we'll talk about something that affects so many of us. Sadly, it tends to get worse this time of the year. Depression affects everyone, regardless of age, race and financial situation, though I'd guess those struggling are more likely to be depressed--- but not necessarily. Women are more prone to depression, though both genders suffer from bipolar disorder equally. There are other afflictions that often accompany depression, most notably anxiety and bi [...]

5-13-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Maybe MMT Can Save Us with Stephanie Kelton

Download here or click below to play   Friday's monthly job numbers were devastating, showing that 20.5 million Americans lost their jobs in April -- and the report only covered half of the month, leading the experts to believe that next month's numbers could be even worse. Are we officially now in a depression? That's one of the questions I put to Stephanie Kelton, Modern Monetary Theory expert, professor and author whose new book, The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy, will be released on June 9. We'll begin the show with a look [...]

7-26-19 Nicole Sandler Show – Soothing the Savage Breast

 I had a major depressive episode yesterday - a meltdown. Like millions of other Americans, I'm freaking out about the future of our nation thanks to the idiot in the White House. When things get like this, it's good to find a diversion. For me, the diversion is animals and music. Today, after a look at what's news (as usual), we'll ditch the politics and talk music. Jon Scott is a former record promotion guy who is responsible for breaking Tom Petty! Really. It's detailed in his book, Tom Petty and Me, and it's a fascinating story. We'll talk [...]

1-31-19 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

It's the usual avalanche of insane news for a day ending in Y.  But before we get to it, I explained why I was out yesterday, and spoke honestly about my ongoing struggle with depression. If you want to skip over that,  I wouldn't blame you... As he does each Thursday, Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue American PAC joins in. His segment begins at around the 30 minute mark (actually a few minutes later, as the studio gremlins were fucking with me big time today)....

12-13-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Reality Sucks

I apologize for the delay in posting this show. I've been turned upside down and inside out of late -- sort of like this country. We have fallen through the looking glass and entered Opposite World©. I was actually out during this show -- I had my first three-month post-surgery follow-up with my oncologist. We did a CT scan last week, and this appointment was to go over the results. And the news is great. He said it all looks wonderful. So, three months from now, we'll do it again. But for now, I'm cancer-free! That's the good news. Part of what sent [...]
