So this Sunday we have a great show planned, and the show starts at 7PM runs to 9PM EST. ( And if you miss it you can always listen to the Podcast later.) This Sunday we have the one and only Lizz Winstead, Co-creator of The Daily Show and Co-founder of Air America Radio. She will be on to discuss her Road Tour for Planned Parenthood (as she has been traveling around the Country , Educating and Advocating for Planned Parenthood ...really important cause for Women's Health). We will be talking to her about Politics and also her Upcoming Book. (Please do see the Post below about her Show and her blog....She has added more great Show Sites : Bellingham, Burlington and More. ) Then we also have Perry Interviewing the Filmmakers of "Default" which should be very illuminating and sobering, as this is the Next Financial Situation we all need to learn more about....And also the Authors of "Waiting for Rove" will be visiting us as well.
Perry, Kim, and Nunzia and I are all trying to create a Show where Progressives can Tune In , and Listen Up, and serve up some real brain food, and get folks thinking and talking on Sunday Eve's...So grab some coffee and some snacks and have a Listen....It's like we are all crowded around the kitchen table...Connecting.
2012 is heating up and getting ugly....It's time for Bloglatopia, Twitterland, Internet News and Magazines, and Internet Radio to come together...create Strong Powerful Alliances and Dialogue...Our History is up to us.
