Podcast: The Nicole Sandler Show

Another week that feels like a decade gone by since our last Friday get-together. There’s no shortage of news to discuss today as Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and I try to recount what all happened. Of course, it was this week that President Joe Biden stepped away from his re-election campaign and passed the torch to VP Kamala Harris….

The blurb I posted on the live video stream today read I watched two speeches from Washington DC yesterday. One that shouldn’t have happened, and one that should (though the way we got there is troublesome). One brought out the best of America; the other, the worst. We’ll discuss both of them today and more…

My first existential question is whether we, as a nation, are too broken. Our politics are broken. Our ‘news’ media is broken. Our ability to talk with one another is broken. Believe it or not, I’m not as depressed as I was yesterday (or the past few weeks), but that changes too… Journalist, columnist, author,…

I took a rare day off yesterday as I was in no shape to do a show. Emotions are running too high due to a combination of things beyond my control. I should probably take off another day or four, but there’s too much at stake to sit on the sidelines. But I also realized…

I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted. Thank Dog it’s Friday so we can stick a fork in this week. But another one is coming right behind this one with plenty more shit to be stirred. At least have this hour each week to get together with Marcy Wheeler, independent journalist at emptywheel.net, to…

Trying to remember despair is not an option. It seems that sanity is failing all around us, but I’m trying to stay positive and believe that good will win out over evil. Evil has been on display all week, from a rally in PA to a convention hall in Milwaukee. The Democratic circular firing squad…

The Republicans always go back to the teleprompter. They claim that Joe Biden can’t speak without one, but won’t admit that they use them too. And when they fail? They got nothing. Seriously. The first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was replete with Teleprompter troubles. We’ll share a few laughs at their…

The shitshow that is the 2024 presidential election season is rolling right off a cliff. I had planned on playing President Biden’s speech delivered Friday at a high-energy back on track rally in Detroit. And then Saturday happened. I’m trying very hard to stay positive, to veer away from conspiracy theories and to present only…

It’s Friday, time for our weekly get-together with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net for a discussion of the week’s news and ongoing media malpractice. Today, we discuss President Biden’s solo press conference last night at the end of the NATO 75th anniversary summit, and the mainstream media’s apparent missive to hand the election over to the…
