Thursdays with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-3-24

 It's Thursday and Howie Klein of Down With Tyranny is back with us this week. We have lots to talk about from the Veep debate and just how creepy JD Vance is... and we'll get a status update on how the Blue America PAC endorsed candidates are faring. Plus a farewell to another friend. Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative, I guess. My friend Julie Gordon died yesterday after a long battle with breast cancer. Variety posted a beautiful obituary... "Julie Gordon, Founder of the ‘Velvet Rope’ and A&R Exec, Dies at 65" I mentioned that [...]

No New Show Today 9-23-24

  The "everything that can go wrong, will go wrong" affliction is still with me. Today's the day we were supposed to sign the lease on the new house we're renting -- we have to be out of here in just over a week... On Saturday night, the owner backed out of the deal! Wait till you hear the text exchange when she did it. It all makes no sense but of course, it's messing with my mind and soul... So I'm out today (probably tomorrow too) house hunting... So please bear with me! Today is Bruce Springsteen's 75th birthday. [...]

Thursdays with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-21-24

     Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com has done a weekly segment with me on this show for more than a dozen years now. We mostly talk politics, often music and occasionally other subjects too. And fairly regularly, Howie brings along a guest. It's usually one of the Blue America-endorsed candidates, but today's guest is slightly different. Steven Fulop is the Mayor of Jersey City. Tonight he'll deliver his 11th State of the City address. He's already announced his candidacy for NJ Governor; that election happens in November of 2025. So you might ask, "why today?". Well, that has to [...]

4-14-23 Nicole Sandler Show – From FL to NJ with Nikki Fried & Joan Walsh (and Bruce!)

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 [...]

20230207 Nicole Sandler Show – Floriduh from the Revolting Villages to the Rockin’ Hard Rock Live

  https://media.zencastr.com/audio-files/5e0cc41aa9798f001400ff98/5035b8ae-a06f-425b-851c-8dff6df870dc.mp3     I've spent the better part of the last week sulking. One week ago tonight, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band kicked off their world tour, the first in seven years as they, like the rest of the planet, were sidelined due to the pandemic. Yes, I was there in 2016... and I've seen at least one show on each tour since The River tour in Lakeland, FL back in 1980. Thanks to the advent of Ticketmaster's so-called "dynamic pricing," I was afraid that I might have already attended my last Bruce show. But I held [...]

2-26-16 Nicole Sandler Show – A Future To Believe In

It's Friday, and Nicole is worn out from watching Bernie getting berated by Chris Matthews, and the mud wrestling posing as a presidential debate last night. But she'll talk about the state of the presidential race with Julianna Forlano. And for Flashback Friday, it's a conversation with Little Steven Van Zandt

Take the Threats Seriously

Americans have really short memories. It was less than a year ago that the Republicans shut down the US government for 16 very long days. And now Mitch McConnell is threatening to do it again. I suggest we take those threats very seriously. To refresh our country's collective memory loss: First, Federal employees were furloughed for a combined total of 6.6 million days, more than in any previous government shutdown. At its peak, about 850,000 individuals per day were furloughed. That number fell once most Department of Defense civilian employees were able to return to work as the Pentagon implemented the [...]

Absurdity is the New Reality

The late Frank Zappa was way ahead of his time. Yes, Absurdity is the new Reality! Just a glance at the day's news is evidence of that. I began today's show with the news that hell has frozen over. The best explanation I've seen thus far about the DC Circuit Court ruling that rendered Net Neutrality dead comes from Fox "News"'s Shepard Smith! And then, he called his corporate shill of a guest a "corporate shill!". Once you pick your jaw up off the ground, watch this: Today, the Senate Finance Committee (under the exiting Max Baucus) will mark up [...]
