Thursdays with Howie Klein (& FL’s Ben Braver Too) on the Nicole Sandler Show 8-29-24

     For the past dozen or so years, I've had a weekly conversation with my old friend Howie Klein who blogs at DownWithTyranny.com and runs the Blue America PAC, identifying and supporting progressive candidates up and down the ballot all over the country. Howie returns today and brings with him a young candidate running for the Florida state senate, Ben Braver. He's @BenBraverFL on social media, and his website is BenBraver.org. A quick online search tells me that Ben Braver is something of a super hero. We'll get to the bottom of that today. Plus the some news, [...]

In addition to the usual holiday fare, this time of year brings with it hopes and dreams and wishes for a better future. All of those elements made it into Brian Karem's column at Salon.com last week in the form of a dream about a presidential speech. I enjoy Brian Karem's writing style, and actually heard that speech as I read it. So I thought I'd invite him on one last [...]

7-8-22 Nicole Sandler Show – It’s a Mad World (At Least We Made it to the Weekend!)

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   We made it to another Friday. With the way things are going in the world, I'm amazed we made it this far. Between the holiday on Monday and taking Wednesday off, there are a few important stories/issues I never got around to. So today, we'll wrap up the week's loose ends. I'm also beginning my vetting of the candidates running to replace Ted Deutch, my Congressman, who's retiring. There are quite a few Democrats vying for the nomination, so I reached out [...]

4-8-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Beating the Republicans with Rachel Bitecofer

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   We are in deep trouble. By we I mean the citizens of this country and the world. This is not hyperbole. We are in danger of descending into fascism. And the Republicans are doing all the behind the scenes dirty work to be able to pull off the coup they weren't quite able to realize in 2020, but are positioning themselves to do it in both the upcoming midterms and put the final nail in democracy's coffin in 2024. And they'll succeed, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

4-26-17 Nicole Sandler Show – 100 Days of Resistance with John Nichols

Trump today introduced his tax plan, which would cut corporate and small business rates down to 15%, repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax for individuals and otherwise enrich the wealthy and hurt the struggling... Did you expect anything less? Many experts say this plan could cost upwards of $6 trillion! The GOP-led FCC started the ball rolling on reversing the Net Neutrality rules... start paying attention! D'ump signed an Executive Order calling for a "review" of our national monuments, with the goal of reversing the many lands that President Obama had designated as national monuments in order to protect them from [...]
