7-21-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Feel Good Friday with Michael Franti

View on Zencastr Last minute change of plans! My scheduled guest who was to talk about what happened to the radio and record industry had to reschedule. Usually that'd freak me out, but not today. When he called to cancel, I was in the middle of taping an interview with Michael Franti,  the founder and leader of Michael Franti & Spearhead, and I've been a fan since their first album was released in 1994! He's in town for a show tomorrow night at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, so we have a treat for you today. And we could use [...]

7-13-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

View on Zencastr     It's Friday Eve... Howie Klein is here. We talk politics, as he runs the Blue America PAC and writes a lot at DownWithTyranny.com. But we also often talk music. Before Howie went into progressive politics full-time, he was in the music industry. I met him probably close to 30 years ago when I was doing music radio in Los Angeles and Howie was president of Reprise Records! When politics gets too toxic we have somewhere else to go! (And PS, we did talk a lot of music today... and about the new venture I'm starting [...]

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 [...]

7-29-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Can One Man Save the World with John Ondrasik/Five for Fighting

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   As you certainly know by know if you're a regular listener of this program, a good chunk of my career was spent in music radio in Los Angeles. Back in 1997, while working as Rock Editor of the radio/record industry trade magazine The Album Network, I heard a record from a new band called Five for Fighting. I fell in love with it. I met the man who recorded under that band name, John Ondrasik, just in time to learn that [...]

July 4, 2022 – Nicole Sandler’s Soundtrack for the 4th

Download here or click below to play It's Independence Day, but not really. It's more akin to anti-independence day. But it is July 4th, so celebrations abound. My musical selections for today probably show my cynicism, but a few project a bit of hope. So, enjoy the musical interlude today. It's back to reality tomorrow...

1-27-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Today might be the day hell freezes over. Remember that it's going to get hellishly cold this weekend, at least here on the east coast. I'm going to ask Howie Klein about his article posted at DownWithTyranny titled "In Defense of Chuck Schumer". Seriously. We'll deal with current issues, but I can't spend a show with Howie Klein without asking him to weigh in on another post he wrote, "Music Biz Has Deteriorated Not Because Of Musicians, But Because Of... Extreme Capitalism". Congress [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   To absolutely no one's surprise, Steve Bannon and Kash Patel defied their subpoenas and did not appear before the House Select Committee investigating January 6 today. Now the committee says they will refer him to the Justice Dept for criminal prosecution.... but not until after the committee meets on Tuesday. Huh? Kyrsten Sinema is on a fundraising trip to Europe. Seriously. There's so much happening that defies common sense. So that's where we'll begin today, as Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny [...]

4-16-21 Nicole Sandler Show – News, Music and Politics

I'm glad this week is over. I can't even recite the mass shootings and cops who killed Black men (or boys) in the past week, because this shit has reached pandemic proportions. Or, more accurately, epidemic, as it's only here in the US. I did check in with The Intercept's Ryan Grim who broke the story this week about Democrats introducing legislation to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court. He'll give us the story on that, plus weigh in on the PRO Act and DC Statehood. Then we'll segue into the weekend, as I'm joined by Greg [...]

1-18-21 Nicole Sandler Show – It’s MLK Day and Music’s Returning to the White House

Download here or click below to play   Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! We have a special show today. It's one that honors MLK and celebrates the fact that music is returning to the White House! It's been a vast, cultural wasteland for the past four years, but I got some great news about the musical treats in store as the Biden-Harris administration officially begins in just two days. I'll fill you in, and then bring on Lili Haydn and Marvin Etzioni. They're two artists who both have new music out dealing with the strange times we're living through [...]
