Blue America Thursday with Howie Klein, Digby & More on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-11-24

   Howie Klein has been doing a weekly segment on my show for more than a dozen years now. He and I first met some 30+ years ago on Los Angeles where I was doing (really great) music radio and he was President of Reprise Records. When Howie exited the music biz, he turned his energies toward getting real progressives elected to office. He began blogging at DownWithTyranny.com. In 2006, Howie joined forces with Heather "Digby" Parton of Digby's Hullabaloo and John Amato of Crooks and Liars. They created the Blue America PAC, enlisting the help of Jacquie Propps [...]

9-14-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursday with Howie Klein and Maebe A. Girl

View on Zencastr   It's Thursday, and since I tear down my studio after tomorrow's show for the move, this is the last time I'll speak with Howie Klein for a few weeks. Today, he brings along Maebe A. Girl, a Blue America-endorsed candidate who's running to replace Adam Schiff in the House. Schiff is, of course, running for Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, leaving his congressional seat up for grabs. It also happens to be the district where Howie Klein lives, so this one is personal for him.   https://youtube.com/live/UwlL7tiBris

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Today we salute the actions of the progressive activists who paved the way, focusing on one who was in the thick of it all. David Fenton's new book is The Activist's Media Handbook: Lessons from Fifty Years as a Progressive Agitator.

4-26-22 Nicole Sandler Show – The Good and the Bad and the CPC with Rep Mark Pocan

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) There was a bit of shock, anger and disapproval among my circle of friends and political confidants last week when the Congressional Progressive Caucus officially endorsed Shontel Brown in the primary for OH-11 over progressive favorite Nina Turner. I voiced my concerns about problems with how the caucus is run, and commiserated with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny/ Blue America PAC, (my standing guest every Thursday) about the problem with recruiting members of the New Dem Coalition to also join the Progressive Caucus. Much [...]

3-30-21 Nicole Sandler Show – FDR, LBJ, JOE? with Harvey J. Kaye

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     I'm not usually happy to be proven wrong, but in this case I'm thrilled. I was wrong about Joe Biden when I fought against his nomination. I was judging him based on his decades of history as a centrist to conservative Democrat when we needed a truly bold progressive. Now, 70 days or so into the Biden administration, I'm watching the most progressive president implementing the most progressive programs since LBJ's Great Society. Today, we'll find out if our old friend [...]

12-7-20 Nicole Sandler Show – The Progressive Perspective with Jeff Hauser

Download here or click below to play   Once again, the media is highlighting the progressive/centrist divide in the Democratic Party. Today, I aim to shed light on what separates us and to take on the mainstream corporate media for their attitude toward the grassroots of the party. I'll speak with Jeff Hauser, founder and director of The Revolving Door Project, part of CEPR, which scrutinizes executive branch appointees to ensure they use their office to serve the broad public interest, rather than to entrench corporate power or seek personal advancement. I played one of a plethora of song parodies [...]

12-3-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play     Forty-eight days until inauguration day, which means 48 days till we're rid of Trump. Sort of. Unfortunately, things won't suddenly get better on Jan 20. We're living in perilous times. Trump seems bound and determined to torch the place on his way out the door, and Biden seems to be drinking from the same well as Obama did, thinking that the Republicans who've vilified Democrats mercilessly for the past four years (and more), are all of a sudden going to work with us. It's Thursday, so Howie Klein joins in. Check [...]

11-18-20 Nicole Sandler Show – The Democratic Unity Unicorn

Download here or click below to play     As Joe Biden begins naming his staff and cabinet picks, some of us are left wondering whether that elusive Democratic Party unity is even possible in this era. So, Mike Lux, the (progressive) Politics Guy, joins me today to talk about the subject and his latest blog post   "What Democratic Unity Would Look Like". On a totally different topic, I'll share a personal memory or three, as my life changed dramatically twenty years ago today as I left Los Angeles, headed for Kazakhstan to adopt my daughter. We got a [...]
