Do you listen to Air America Radio?

[Eric J in MN]

Do you usually listen to Air America Radio for at least 15 minutes-a-week?

[MoonRiver]

1. 66 YES!

And six from our resident freepers, whomever they may be! Come out, come out wherever you are! :D

[Swamp Rat]

2. More like 15 hours per week

[BlueEyedSon]

Make that 15 hrs per DAY!

[Swamp Rat]

53. Well, I listen to Thom Hartmann, Bernie Ward, Werbe, Taliaferro, so my

time is divided between AAR and KGO and radiopower.org.

And let me plug one of my favorites: the Guy James Show. :)

[Just Me]

3. Now, that I can stream via internet,...I do.

I sure wish it would spread to us rural inhabitants *LOL*.

[ReadTomPaine]

5. They are also available in MP3 format from www.whiterosesociety.org

So you can listen offline with your IPod etc..

RTP

[Roxy66]

4. Love it!!

[CatholicEdHead]

6. No, but Ed Schultz about 10hrs/week

[Eric J in MN]

14. Ed Schultz is broacast on "Air America Minnesota." nt

[Radio_Lady]

27. Schultz says he's on the "Jones Radio Network" --

He's in Fargo, North Dakota. You're in Minnesota --

[Radio_Lady]

30. Randi Rhodes (usually rebroadcast in the early morning 5AM)

Ed Schultz -- during middays here in Portland, Oregon

I rarely listen after dark. I like KPOJ in general here in Portland, Oregon, but commercial breaks drive me away to the jazz and classical music stations.

[Eric J in MN]

58. Ed Schultz's show is produced by the Jone Radio Network, and

carried by Air America Minnesota, along with other stations.

[Pushed To The Left]

31. Ed Schultz is the MAN!

[KitchenWitch]

36. I love Ed Schultz

First time I heard him on AAR here, I thought it was Limpballs (his vocal quality sounds a lot like Rushy) but then I actually listened to what he was saying and I knew it was not Rush.

[BuyingThyme]

7. How did Springer do this morning?

Wasn't this his first day?

[Just Me]

10. I was very impressed.

I really was impressed. He "handled" the couple of RW callers very well. Of course, I look forward to how he'll handle the more venomous and mindless of callers in the future (i.e. wonder if he'll "manage" the assholes as well as Randi).

[BuyingThyme]

13. Outside of his insane TV shows, I've only seen him a few times.

But he seems to be incredibly intelligent, informed, and concerned.

I hope my AAR affiliate picks him up.

[katinmn]

8. yup. Every day.

[intheflow]

9. Yes, in my car. But...

I'm not crazy about it. The politics are fine, but the format is too close to the Rush BS--yammer, yammer, yammer. There are snippets of real news, but mostly it's just people ranting.

But the other option is NPR's Morning Edition and ATC. They do great in-depth stories--if you want to know about cooking or music or voting in the Ukraine. They've gone too far right in their news reporting to be of much use to me anymore. Just another form of fluff.

My favorite radio news is Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! but it has a weak signal at my house and the static makes it hard to listen to. :(

[ldf]

11. of course!

DUH!

[solinvictus]

12. I've really tried to like "Majority Report" but...

they just don't seem to have any really cutting or interesting topics. I'll likely keep trying, though, because it beats the alternative.

[Eric J in MN]

15. What topic would you want them to cover? nt

nt

[nytemare]

17. I like Janeane and Sam

I think Randi Rhodes is the best radio host. It is hard for someone from the other mediums to go to radio. I like Franken, but sometimes I feel transported to a 40's comedy radio show when I listen. I would like to see an AATV, or something of the like. Franken was great on TV, and I think Janeane would be a great new show talk type host. She always handles herself very well on the interview shows.

[NYCGirl]

21. Al and Katherine are returning to the Sundance Channel in June for a daily

show.

http://www.indiewire.com/biz/biz_050304franken.html

[A Brand New World]

16. Yes - it's all that I've listened to for the past 9 months! I have a very

short commute so it's usually around 40 minutes a day, counting lunch.

[B Calm]

18. Since I live behind the Hoosier Iron Curtain, I have to download

Mike Malloy. I bought a Neuros 80GB MP3 player with a built in FM transmitter and listen to him at work..

[spindoctor]

19. No, can't receive them here

Turned to AM for the first time since I moved to Idaho.

No Air America, but of course Rush came in loud and...well, loud.

[Individualist]

23. Are you aware you can listen online?

Air America radio isn't available in my area either but every day I listen online. Just go to www.airamericaradio.com and click on listen live.

[spindoctor]

38. Thanks.

Yes, I am aware but we have a policy at work against streaming audio.
Besides, our CEO would have my nuts for supper if he found out I listened to Air America on the job. lol

I used to catch the Al Franken show on Sundance but I don't get that either anymore.

[queeg]

20. Only when I am not on Limbaugh death watch

I swear his head is just going to explode some day, and I just want to be able to say I was listening when it happened.

[Greylyn58]

22. Listening to Mike Malloy right now

[LaPera]

40. As are most of us...Cheers!

[VOX]

24. As soon as AAR comes back to the L.A. market, I'll listen...

In the meantime, I'll just catch snippets online.

[NYCGirl]

26. It's on in Los Angeles...

Los Angeles, CA - KTLK 1150 AM

[JoMama49]

25. i don't like morning sedition that much - its too hyper for me

so early in the a.m., and i don't find it that funny. anyone else?

[bermudat]

39. Morning Sedition is hilarious.

One time I was on the road early in the morning with a 3 hour drive time, and they almost made me run off the road laughing.

[Auntie Bush]

28. I've never heard it but I'd like to.

[Eric J in MN]

33. Why not listen online?

http://airamericaradio.com/

[LaPera]

45. Online, or on Sirius satellite radio...very cool. AAR is too hot to not

listen!

[PBR me]

29. malloy rules-woot

[newyawker99]

56. Hi PBR me!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. Yes. I listen to Randi and Mike Malloy.

Use to listen to Franken, but I can't stand listening to his RW friend he has on all the time and I REALLY hate all the air time he gives Limpballs. Majority Report is OK. Randi and Mike ROCK!

[Eric J in MN]

34. You can vote on Al Franken's rightwing friend.

http://www.airamericaradio.com/weblogs/alfrankenshow/

[Zinfandel]

35. Always! Support AAR buy a cup or a thong or your pup a sweater.

It helps AAR out immensely and is good advertising, especially the thong.

I'm listening to the man, Malloy right now!

www.airamericaradio.com

[DemBeans]

37. on and off...

During the election season, I listened to at least a couple of hours of AAR daily - I've cut down a bit, but I still like to catch Randi now and again. Franken is okay, but he wears on me for an entire show - he's better listening in short snippets, when I'm doing other things and can just catch what interests me.

[LaPera]

41. What else is there? Some very dedicated folks, as I saw on HBO last

night.

AAR is and will continue to kick ass. the ones who don't listen are missing so much of the truth and awareness...maybe they prefer to stay blind.

[trudyco]

42. Every time I'm in the car without the uncooperative better half -nt

[elshiva]

43. YES! Listening to Malloy now.

[MrMickeysMom]

44. No one where I am probably knows about Mike Malloy

... let alone Air America, which I stream when working at my desk, and definitely at home. I'm in Pittsburgh, a town that would eat up AA, but God only knows if it'll ever air in our market.

Malloy reaches my heart and mind. It's sanity in unison with those being driven insane.

[elshiva]

46. Welcome to DU MrMickeysMom!

:toast: :bounce:

[MrMickeysMom]

48. Gee, thanks...

Now, if I could only figure out how to put cool photos up like you... matter of time...

[elshiva]

49. You are welcome.

I'll pm you on how to paste pics.

[newyawker99]

57. Hi MrMickeysMom!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Melynn]

47. Only 15 hours?

A lot more than that. I like to listen to Air America and read and post on DU at the same time. A double dose of the truth. :bounce:

[SnoopDog]

50. I must admit...

I like Malloy the best - and Sam and Janine, and Randi.

But that is like saying I like $1 million dollars vs $1 million 1 cent or $1 million 2 cents.

Meaning.. They are all heroes.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

51. Yes, when I remember to

I am going to make an effort to remember to tune in to Springer - I have heard him speak on other AAR shows and really like what he has to say. I like Morning Sedition; I'm glad Unfiltered is gone and just as glad the Unfiltered hosts have new shows; I listen to Al depending on the guests; Randi is fine for those who like her personality but I'm not one; I've never liked Sam Seder or the psychodrama between him and Janeane though they have some great guests; and I love Malloy but he makes me want to slit my wrists and I really don't need the encouragement these days. I don't listen on the weekends - I have tried but my schedule doesn't accommodate it, which I regret because I would really like to hear more Ring of Fire and Laura Flanders.

[MrMickeysMom]

52. speaking of Weekend listening...

Mind you, I have a powerbook which I can carry around my small house as I cook in the kitchen on the week ends. Ring of Fire and Laura is some of the BEST talk.

Robert Kennedy and Mike Pap. are terrific, but Laura is probably the best professional I've heard. I really like the weekend format.

AAR is only gonna get better and grow. Maybe it'll come the the burgh on AM eventually.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[SW FL Dem]

54. I can't get it here

other than on my computer.

[Zinfandel]

55. That's good enough...but check into Sirus radio...Cheap on ebay

AND you'll be able to take it everywhere!
