Talking Left Episode 2012-4

Strap yourself in for a wild ride!

In hour one, we heard from amazing political analyst, columnist, and "talk radio personality", .  He gave us his predictions on the GOP primary, his analysis of the State of The Union speech, and his opinion of watching the Republican response.

Next, we spoke with Senior Fellow of Media Matters for America, Eric Boehlert about political rhetoric, media "bias" in the GOP primary, and the coverage of the State of The Union.

And - for the last hour - we all tried to keep our blood pressure down during The Great Voter ID Debate with Brad Friedman of The Brad Blog and Armen Martin - Shane's Tea Party friend from Law School.  Hold on to your hats with this segment - it gets pretty interesting!

Talking Left Episode 2012-3

Fight the corporate power with three greats who do it everyday!

In hour one, we spoke with Ray Mederios, host of USA Progressive, about Citizen's United, Romney's tax haven in the Cayman Islands, and the on-going attack on Unions by the Right.

After that, we were thrilled to speak with THE Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, about S.O.P.A. and other corporate power.  

Last, but far from least, was Lee Papa, The Rude Pundit, who made us think, as well as laugh, about Newt's blatant racism during the debate and Chris Dodd's comments about S.O.P.A.

Talking Left Episode 2012-2

The second episode of Talking Left featured four amazing guests.

For the first hour, Danielle and Shane-O covered some Florida political news before getting to the great guest line-up.

In hour two, not one, but two, sexy liberals joined the show.  First, we heard from Hal Sparks about S.O.P.A, "Blah" people, and his awesome show on WCPT in Chicago.  

After that John Fugelsang entertained us all with his brilliant comedic take on the New Hampshire primary, getting Fox News to plug The Stephanie Miller Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour, and the potential for future comedy from the GOP Republican line-up.

Next, we spoke with Tina Dupuy, managing editor of Crooks and Liars, about her brilliant recent article "The GOP's Long Sad March to the Inevitable Nominee".

And last, but far from least, we heard from David Shuster, host of Take Action News on 1480AM in DC.  Of course, we celebrated the recent Michigan win with the fellow Wolverine, and we even managed to get in some politics.

Talking Left Episode 2012-1

Progressive broadcasters Danielle and Shane-O have now combined their long-running  shows: "Left in Dixie" and "Funked in the Head," into one three-hour show called "Talking Left"!

On this inaugural edition after the merger, our good friend and fellow Radio Or Not host, Jacob Dean helped us start things off right: or Right? We analyzed the Iowa caucuses, its cast of characters and we discussed the rising popularity of the terms "socialism" and "progressive" (despite the Right's efforts to demonize those terms).

In hour two, we welcomed Nicole Belle, editor of Crooks & Liars. We spoke about Iowa, the Supreme Court and President Obama's recess appointment of Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

In the final hour, Brad Friedman, purveyor of the BradBlog joined us to talk about voting irregularities in Iowa and issues that may come up in New Hampshire.
