Defiance, Resistance, Filibuster & Joan Walsh on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-1-25

There's something happening here. Can you feel it? Joan Walsh and her former colleague at The Nation, Micah Sifray, both wrote this week about the resistance. Or as they both prefer, the defiance. But whatever you call it, it's here. And if you're not participating in it, then you're helping to take down our nation and our future. Today, Joan Walsh joins us to talk about it, for what it's worth. She wrote two articles in the past week that I want to point you towards: "My Weekend of Anti-Trump, Anti-Musk “Defiance” and "Pramila Jayapal: “We Have to Stand [...]

Monday Madness with Joan Walsh on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-24-25

Despite our best efforts to keep the weekend going, Mondays inevitably arrive. And with Mondays come the reality of the shit that hit the fan over the weekend. The madness began (or continued) Friday evening when we learned that D'ump had his unqualified, drunken idiot of a Secretary of Defense fire the highly qualified chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At The Nation, Joan Walsh's article on this travesty carries the headline, "Make No Mistake, This is Trump's Worst Move Yet". And that says something, as we know the moves he'd previously made. Joan Walsh joins me [...]

Getting To Know Kamala Harris with Joan Walsh on the Nicole Sandler Show 7-31-24

She's been our Vice President for almost four years now, but do we really know Kamala Harris? Joan Walsh first interviewed her for a 2003 San Francisco magazine profile when Ms. Harris was running for district attorney. She sat down with most recently just a few weeks ago, for a cover story profile of the VP for The Nation magazine. The timing was fortuitous -- or maybe just slightly early, as they spoke just before the ill-fated debate between President Biden and his orange White House predecessor and now again-opponent. And then everything changed. Regardless, we'll speak with Joan [...]

11-1-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Joan Walsh on Corporate Bullsh*t Through the Years

View on Zencastr The asterisk in the title of today's show isn't mine; it's in the title of the book I'll be discussing with the one & only Joan Walsh today: CORPORATE BULLSH*T: EXPOSING THE LIES AND HALF-TRUTHS THAT PROTECT PROFIT, POWER, AND WEALTH IN AMERICA. Joan wrote the book with two co-authors-- progressive billionaire Nick Hanauer (who I've long wished to interview) and founder and executive director of In the Public Interest Donald Cohen (who I have interviewed before). Joan, of course, is now national affairs correspondent for THE NATION, who's been writing about the news from [...]

When I moved over from the music radio world, Joan was editor at Salon.com. We saw her regularly on MSNBC back in those days, then over on CNN, and we're now reading her at The Nation. I knew we had a lot in common, but it wasn't until I read her column in The Nation following the [...]

Mitt Romney- Unfit to Lead

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120912_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Romney_Unfit_to_Lead.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window The photo above shows a smirking Mitt Romney leaving the podium after doubling down on his inappropriate and offensive statements saying that President Obama wanted to "apologize" for American values as protests against an anti-Islam film turned violent in Egypt and Libya. That is so wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. So we'll start at the beginning. Yesterday-Tuesday September 11- according to this article in The Atlantic, tensions began flaring in Egypt about a little-seen film, apparently produced by an Israeli-American, promoted by [...]

Of Comedy and Tragedy…

The comedy took place Saturday night at the White House Correspondents Dinner. It came from the President, not from the comedian. (Perhaps that was Leno's tragedy!) The tragedy happened and continues to happen all around us... from the oil geyser in the gulf, to the massive flooding in Nashville and surrounding Southern cities and states, to what's happening to musician Danny Tate, and lots more... We kicked things off today with a conversation with Salon.com Editor in Chief Joan Walsh! It was her first visit to the show, and the first time we'd ever spoken. I'm a fan of Joan's... [...]

Talk About a Crazy News Day!

Listener Marc in Phoenix emailed today to tell me that Mercury is in retrograde. It actually started on 4/18 and will remain so until 5/11. Perhaps that explains the weird news that's taken over the airwaves today. I talked about some of these stories with Christy Harvey of the Center for American Progress and Mic Check Radio, who joins me for the first segment of the show on most Wednesdays. Tonight, we talked about the craziness that is Nevada GOP Senatorial hopeful Sue Lowden and her claims that you can barter with your doctor or pay for medical treatment with [...]
