On this Memorial Day, I thought we'd take a break from politics and listen back to some of my favorite interviews from the good old days of music radio.These pictures don't necessarily go with today's interviews, but many do. Click the player to your right to listen while you're scrolling through the pictures.I'll be back tomorrow morning, 10 Eastern... Nicole with Chris Isaak and Kenney Dale Johnson Fleetwood Mac [...]
"Boca" Britany Somers joins Nicole Sandler in studio today to talk with Equality Florida's Gina Duncan about Florida's "bathroom surveillance bill" currently before the FL legislature, which would prohibit transgender people from using the restroom in which they best fit. For Flashback Friday, we go back to 1996 for Nicole's session with Richard Thompson
It was a bittersweet ending to one of TV's smartest, funniest shows ever. Thankfully, we haven't lost Stephen Colbert forever, but his fictional alter-ego is now one for the history books. And I'll never hear "We'll Meet Again" in the same way.... Today, Americans are outraged that we seem to have given in to blackmail courtesy of North Korea, as Sony Pictures decided to give into the hackers' demands to kill their planned Christmas Day release of "The Interview." As of now, there are no plans to release it in any form, as per the instructions of the new masters [...]
After the past two weeks in Ferguson, we could really use an event to focus on morality, equality, rights and bringing people together.

I had the honor of interviewing him a few times, but today we went back to our first meeting, at Los Angeles' KSCA fm 101.9. I can't find the exact date, but it was somewhere around 1995 or 96. Ray had just published his book X-Ray: The Unauthorized Biography, and was in town for a series of shows called "20th Century Man" which wound up being the blueprint for VH1's Storyteller series! Needless to say, that interview was one of the [...]
I said that if enough listeners wanted it, I'd expand the show and do a live program on Fridays. You asked, so here we are. The Friday program will be a little different... we'll look back at the week that was, open the phones for anything you want to talk about, and end the week with a gem from my music radio archives. My morning today began with my usual routine, reading my emails. I came upon an essay sent to me by a friend who wrote it and posted it on his personal blog. It was so moving and [...]
