The new Countdown with Keith Olbermann podcast

[PCIntern]

Is terrific. I listened to the first two and on top of the wonderful humor and inside politics he told a fantastic personal story about the broadcasting of the death of NY Yankee Thurman Munson in the second episode at the end of the broadcast. I’m hooked…

1. He's such a smart guy. He's his own worse enemy sometimes (and that is a trait I sometimes share)

but I'm glad hes' got a forum again.

20. I found the podcast on Stitcher

Just search for Countdown with Keith Oberman.

Stitcher has lots of iHeart programs and iHeart is properly credited for it.

3. It's great alright.

Listened to it yesterday on my morning walk. Just what I needed. fired up and ready to go.

[JoanofArgh]

4. Omg, this is so good. And I didn't know Olbermann used to date Sinema!

5. I enjoyed the countdown section

but I wasn't a fan of his 'airing of grievances' segment. Hopefully, that was just the first episode.

6. What broadcasting gained, all other occupations lost

KO could do anything. He could have been a kick-ass CEO of a media company

7. I'm so hook! I am a bit surprised and expected some

discussion about his “about me” at the end of #1 and his disclosure about how the last attempt to return to
MSNBC was influenced by Rachel saying no.

[JoanofArgh]

12. Yep and Olbermann paid her out of his own pocket when he first had her on his show

because MSNBC wanted nothing to do with her.

[Ninga]

14. So she is/was threatened by his success and ardent followers? Why wouldn't she want a strong line-up

at MSNBC?

[JoanofArgh]

16. Don't know. Ego? She's more concerned about herself and her success than

she is about the network she works for. Most of them are probably like that but Keith got MSNBC to hire her basically. You'd think she'd keep that in mind.

8. I am waiting for the Friday James Thurber reading

[choie]

17. My late husband and I

attended an event at the 92nd St. Y in NYC celebrating Thurber with guests Keith Olbermann and Calvin Trillin back in 2011. It was wonderful!

[Thunderbeast]

21. THAT would have been fun!

[RedSpartan]

10. Thurman Munson should be in the Hall of Fame

Carry on.

We’re going for 2024 now

11. I'm listening to the third one now. For those who don't like sports, ...

the discussion of news and politics doesn't begin until around 17 mins in.

13. Every Morning!!

I have a lot of podcasts that I listen to each week. I kinda try to spread out my listening so they will last through the week unless I have a good book as this is how I save my brain while doing the morning barn cleaning. I love hearing him as I open the doors and get started. Starts my brain.

15. Keith Olbermann

Is desperately needed on MSNBC in the Time slot to replace Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd.
Smart guy that knows how to fight.
Should have never let him go.

18. Recommended.

22. Thanks for this! Doing a 12-hour drive on Saturday, and while I love

Sirius/XM, it's nice to have something else new to check out.

23. Listening to his 8/4 podcast, sounds like he's really hurt by Rachel's behavior

Why else would he go on and on about it. He spent lots of time and money helping her, giving time to help her learn teleprompter skills, etc. It’s sad, really. I’m disappointed in Rachel, but knowing full well, Olbermann has a big ego.
