Progressive Talk Radio: Who Do You Like?

[NightWatcher]

Aside from Thom Hartmann (syndicated), I am completely over Air America. I now listen exclusively to Nova M Radio ( http://www.novamradio.com/ ) out of Phoenix ( www.1480kphx.com listen live)

Who do you listen to/like?

[fascisthunter]

1. Sam Seder is My Favorite right Now

I love Guy James as well. Thom Hartmann is great.

Jesus, I almost forgot: Mike Malloy

[sam sarrha]

6. mine too...

[AlCzervik]

2. Peter B. Collins and his San Francisco values.

[Marrah_G]

3. I like Shultz and Stephanie

Randy I like sometimes- But there are days her ranting just goes to far into wacko world for my taste.

[ihavenobias]

4. I agree on Hartmann/Seder (but would throw in Maddow and...)

Why does Air America insist on getting rid of their top talent?

Consider Malloy getting dumped and then Seder (downgraded to Sundays only)!

What are these fools thinking?

The most recent poor decision by Air America was firing Kent Jones from the Maddow show and now Cenk Uygur (who should've made that list IMO, or at least had an honorable mention) of The Young Turks is leaving AA (supposedly it was mutual but I'm not so sure).

PS---Speaking of Seder, he'll be one of many guests on the TYT caucus show tonight:

5. Randi

I listen to Thom and Stephanie sometimes but I always try to catch Randi.

[helderheid]

7. I used to love her.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Sam Greenfield, who returns to radio next Monday (01/07/08)

on WVNJ which is streamable.

9. I don't like any of what I've heard...

...although in fairness, I haven't listened to much of it. I find the talk format nasty, self-congratulatory, and divisive. I HATED the proliferation of right wing bile-fests during the Clinton years. They made careers spewing venom. There was nothing good to emulate, IMO, so the rise of left wing talk radio that does the same thing, just from a different position, is NOT something I like very much. I find the whole format poisonous.

10. only Thom Hartmann

Randy Rhodes is surprisingly inarticulate, falling back on "omigods" & "unbelievables".

"Big" Ed Schultz is a suck up & is essentially a conservative.

Mike Malloy is a hysteric.

Stephanie Miller is a comic - doesn't really count.

[adnelson60087]

11. Thom Harttman and Sirius (Satellite Radio) Host Mark Thompson

Thom is the intellectual of the bunch and Mark is a new host who's show is very interesting. Rhandi when I can listen to her!

[OnyxCollie]

12. Tom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller, Sam Seder,

Mike Malloy, Ring of Fire, Laura Flanders, Amy Goodman.

[mirrera]

13. Stephanie Miller on Nova, then

Thom Hartman then Randi if it is early I listen to Young Turks first.

Edit to add Rachel Maddow in the evening.

[Kashka-Kat]

14. Thom H, stephanie, randi, AND ... the much maligned alan Colmes

What's wrong with Alan Colmes? Ive never seen the tv show (with shawn hanity) so I don't know about that, but his radio show is great , love how he gives the right wing wackos plenty of rope to hang themselves... and that they do, regularly. Much more lively than listening to someone just blathering on "preaching to the choir" like some of the a.a.

cant stand the Young turks (huh? are they turkish?) Truly a "show about nothing." Cant stand it.

Randi and her vast store of knowledge is great when shes not too full of her own self (thankfully not too often but sometimes just gotta turn it offf)

Thom Hartmann is fabulous - love how he gets at political issues via non political frames of references (eg psychologically, historically, anthropoligically). Again a person who is not afraid to talk with people on the "other side" who disagree with him.

[napi21]

15. I have quite a list! My computer is streaming almost 24 hours a day!

Hartmann
Maddow
Schultz
Elliott
Malloy
Collins (when I can find him)
Taliaferro
Karel
Ward (I sure hope he comes back)
Rothman
Copeland


I'm sure there are a few others who I've forgotten.

[NightWatcher]

19. I stream all day at home/office too

Stephanie Miller
Thom Hartmann
Randi Rhodes (some of the time)
Jeff Farias
Mike Malloy
Rachel Maddow (if I'm up late)

[SharonRB]

16. Hartmann, Stephie, Randi and Rachel

We don't get Rachel here, though, ever since she moved to evenings. I listen to Cenk, but only because he's what's there in the morning while I get ready for work. I have no idea who our local affiliate is going to replace him with when he goes Internet-only after the 15th.

I like Sam, but he's not on here at a time I listen to the radio.

[Strelnikov_]

17. Sammy Seder is A No 1

Sammy's a meateater.

[MorningGlow]

18. Steph and the mooks

I need a large dose of humor to cope with current events lately. And I gotsta support a fellow Western NY chick!

Can't stand Ed anymore, and Randi gets on my nerves a lot lately. Half an hour of Rachel after the local evening news simulcast, which I enjoy catching if I'm in the car at the time, and progressive talk radio is over for the day. :(

20. Guy James

[flvegan]

21. I love Democracy Now! w/Amy Goodman

Catch it as often as I can.

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Randi Rhodes, Mike malloy and Sam Seder are my favorites. I listen on my Internet Radio.

Any station that is streamed online, from anywhere in the WORLD, I can listen to on my radio. LOVE IT.

[Flarney]

23. What internet radio do you have?

That sounds awesome.

Thanks!

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. I ended up with the Sangean WFR-20 WiFi Internet Radio because it comes with a remote control.

:) You can listen to thousands of radio stations around the world. Lithuania, Russia, UK, Iran, Costa Rica, USA ....the list is endless actually. If it steams online, The radio will play it. You need to have a Wireless Router though. The radio connects to it just like a computer does. I didn't have to do anything but turn it on, it connected to my Wireless Router and off I was to listen to Internet Radio. It really is awesome! Here's a link:

25. Hartman, Rhodes, Seder, Maddows are all great radio hosts

Mike Malloy is great when you want to listen to a rant. He can be cathartic.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. Indeed. I love ending my days listening to Malloy. He voices all my thoughts.

He really is cathartic.:)

[whirlygigspin]

27. I'm hooked on Lionel!

he's hillarious

can't stand Hartman or Elliot

[avaistheone1]

28. Funny! I can't stand Lionel. He like nails on a chalkboard to me.

I love Hartmann, and I do like Joe Biden. He is very knowledgeable.

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. LIONEL...like nails on a chalkboard for me too! His voice grates on my last nerve and he talks about

some of the most stupid stuff. One day he spent an hour talking about ELVIS! Whaaaaa? Why?:banghead: I cannot stand the man!

[avaistheone1]

30. I don't know why Lionel is on Air America.

He has stated one of his early radio programs on Air America that he didn't know if he was republican, democrat, progressive etc.

WTF??!!! Then why have him on Air America?

[whirlygigspin]

32. I know! he's too funny

it's not the voice, it's the sense of humor

he makes me laugh out loud

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. That's just sad. He doesn't know if he's a Liberal or Progressive or REPUBLICAN?

One would think AA would have made damn sure the guy is a Liberal before ever putting him on the air. I still can't believe Sam Seder was replaced with that fool.:( It makes me sick. Sam ROCKS!:loveya:

[avaistheone1]

35. Sam is absolutely terrific.

I could take a page singing Sam Seder's praises.

I don't know why they did so, but I think Air America gave him a raw deal.

[B Calm]

31. Mike Malloy, never miss a show! I have been listening to him since WLS

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. I cannot tell you how much I miss the Liberal WLS. Man.... Those were the days.

:(
