Fans of 'Brunch with Bernie': Thom Hartmann's weekday radio/tv program will be off air 6-7 days

starting today while he and staff move to another DC location hopefully with better telephone and internet connection. In their absence Free Speech TV will run documentary programs. Just saw Thom's update on this news.

1. OMFG!

I hope that it is better. I know that I will miss Thom on my lunch hour, even if he is running reruns.
Oh well.

3. This is about Bernie and one of the last remaining progressive broadcasters. It's not about you,

your lunch habits or your news preferences. People follow what Bernie and Thom think and say, believe it.

4. Lunch Hour and Hartmann

is one of the main ways that I follow the news and Bernie these days.

5. From your comments I thought you were mocking the program or smthg. & one never

knows anymore with the atmosphere here lately. Swell then, you follow Thom & Bernie. Sorry.

2. Rec for visibility. Thanks ab.

6. For sure. He's been mentioning this for a couple months now. So no, we're not loosing

another progressive (the last?) broadcaster! Although I just remembered Thom's said for several years that they will return to VT in 2016. Vermont would be better for them, DC is a cold place for older people to live, although great to visit. He and Louise & Bernie started the radio program out of their Vermont home 10+ years ago. I'm already going through Ed Schultz withdrawal, can't take anymore. MSNBC esp. Joe Scar is so Trump-

7. If it hadn't been for Thom, I wouldn't have known about Bernie.

Listened to Bernie take calls from Thom's audience once a week for years. Was hoping he'd run for president.

Thom has talked about the move. Some of us hear him via podcast, and I'm hoping one of his stand-ins will keep the radio show going.

8. Bernie was also introduced to me by Thom's program that we follow on Dish TV.

We initially found Thom by accident when we cut our cable and picked up 'The Big Picture' TV show somehow, which is not good even though he's a Godsend. Today in his update Thom said the Free Speech Channel will fill in with documentaries unlike other times when radio talkers have subbed for him. Don't know about the pod-casts for this week.

9. For those of us that most times don't even know what day it is...

Or hardly the month, will you do a quick post to remind us when he's back on air?

Thank you.

Go Bernie!

11. For sure.

10. Of course right when I'm getting to use my vaca...

and can listen to the whole show live for once. FML, but it's only a week.

12. They're playing reruns on the radio show, so you don't have to go cold turkey.

Just hit the "listen live" link at thomhartmann.com.
