I always liked Randi. Listened to her every day. I just muted MSNBC because THEY are Repub heavy today. Randi is a breath of fresh air.

Even before she went national. She was always great at documenting her sources.

However, she more or less went off the deep end around 2007 or so and never recovered. I lost interest in her and honestly don't feel a great desire to start up again unless she's even-keeled again.

It's a shame, because when she was good, she was really good. But she stopped being good a long time ago.

She had breast cancer and she survived it. It was a difficult ordeal.

While Randi is not a Clinton fan, she said to some callers that between Trump and Clinton, she'd pick Clinton.

But see most of the DUers didn't bother to listen to the second half of the show.

campaign. Pushed her harder to build the show and the studio, and pull her through it. So glad she is fine now, and hopefully will remain so for many, many years to come.

How refreshing to hear that NY accent and bawdy, irreverant humor again.

lack of support for liberal/progressive voices in media. They kept cutting her stations and not promoting her show... while the RW jerks shows had multiple replays daily, even on multiple stations in the same market area. EVERYTHING was RW talk - on purpose. Trying to drown the left.

This way she has complete control and freedom to do her own show the way she wants. Go get 'em Randi!

with the sound of her own voice. I'm sure she has her fans, but listening to her interview someone is almost useless. She does 80% of the talking. I tuned into her show on Air America for the first few months. That was enough.

Good for her, anyway. I wish her well.

If you posted any of the bullshit Rhodes said on her show today, you would probably be banned, for goodness sake!
