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 [...]

#RadioOrNot Exclusive: Disabled vet turned away for no voter ID in state not requiring IDs

Also, I am disabled US Army Paratrooper.. not combat disabled, instead I learned that you cannot fight gravity.. so I have spinal issues and non-combat PTSD from the injury.

Pity the Billionaire — or Not!

Pity the Billionaire is the title of one of Thomas Frank's brilliant books, and one I immediately thought of when I read his current column, "Hillary Clinton forgets the '90s" Our latest gilded age and our latest phony populists" over at Salon.com.

In fact, as Frank recounts, there were a [...]

Veterans Day was officially yesterday - November 11 , but we'll talk about it today on both my show and Randi Rhodes'!
