Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-20-25

  We survived another week, though this one had quite a few precarious moments, much of which went unreported by the mainstream, corporate media and certainly ignored by the right-wing media which most of MAGAt-world erroneously considers news and trusts to (dis) inform them. It's a big reason why I do this show and why these Friday episodes with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net are so important. And although we usually run over our allotted hour (like today), there's still a lot of real news that we don't have time to cover. Since our last get-together last Friday, so much has happened. [...]

It’s Fu&#ing Monday, We’ve Got Your Fu&#ing News on the Nicole Sandler Show – 5-13-24

        It's hard to believe we're almost half way through May already. I guess time flies whether we're having fun or not!

That time we brought in a group of listeners for a really special live [...]

2-4-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Special KSCA Retrospective

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Today marks the 25th anniversary of the end of the best chapter of my professional life. KSCA fm 101.9 was sold - a victim of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (thanks Clinton) and the consolidation it begat. To acknowledge the date, I invited a bunch of former KSCA staffers and friends of the station to join in. Following the live show, I went into audio only mode, and shared the final two hours of the station too. I couldn't do that on YouTube, [...]

4-8-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Finally Fucking Friday!

We somehow made it to the end of this bloody week still standing. Today on the show, Nicole Sandler chats with The Nation's John Nichols about Wisconsin's new voter ID law & how it accomplished what the GOP legislature (who passed it) set out to do. Lee Camp brings the humor about the serious stakes as we head into the weekend. And in honor of Joan Baez endorsing Bernie Sanders, we have a Flashback Fri segment from 1996 with Joan and Dar Williams.

10-9-15 Nicole Sandler Show – Imagine Peace and Sanity

On what would have been John Lennon's 75th birthday, the US just passed the 14 year mark in our war in Afghanistan. Internally, the GOP is at war with itself, and the goings on in the GOP caucus more closely resemble a soap opera than an august legislative body. Comedian Julianna Forlano joins in to help Nicole make sense of the week. We end the week with a Flashback Friday musical blast from Nicole's radio past. Today, we go back to August 1994 with blues great John Hammond.

It's another Flashback Friday!

Rise Above the Snake Line

After the past two weeks in Ferguson, we could really use an event to focus on morality, equality, rights and bringing people together.

If you can't make it to Raleigh, as sadly I can't, you can watch the live stream each afternoon by clicking here. And if you're still wondering what the snake line is, just listen to the man who founded the Moral Monday movement in North Carolina, Rev. Dr. William Barber from the speech he delivered at Netroots Nation last month in [...]
