Jesse Ventura Now & Then and Some Good Radio News on...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/15

My good radio news is that a new radio station hit the airwaves in Phoenix today and, once again, I get to play my kind of music on the air! I explain at the start of the show. But I'm still here. Since the former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura is back in the news, I dug out an interview he and I did on Air America Radio in 2009 that I shared today, along with his re-entry into the news just a week ago.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out:

I had fully intended on speaking with Blue Amp Media's Cliff Schecter today and adding laughs and some snark to the sickening news of the day. Unfortunately, I found out mid-show that Cliff had a family emergency and was unable to join us.I still had plenty to talk about between the shitty news of the day and another project I'm working on that I can't tell you about until tomorrow. And because of that, I'll be out tomorrow. But, as Jesse Ventura was in the news last week, and the

2026/01/13

If I had a dollar for every law the orange idiot has broken while he's occupied the oval office I wouldn't necessarily be rich, but I'd certainly be able to pay my bills, probably easier than I can these days. Aside from that pretty big deal, there are tons of other legal issues in play that the administration seems to not care about or consider when the do the insane things they do. They lie, they cheat, they steal. They refuse to investigate crimes --even murder - when they think it

If you had hoped things would lighten up a bit as the calendar turned to 2026, I'm sorry to remind you that we live in Opposite World, and it's awful here. There's an explosion of ugly news to go through today, so thankfully Jonathan Larsen is here from his eponymous Substack where he brings us original reporting and from the one with the attitude, thefuckingnews.substack.com.

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show

2026/01/09

As she does every Friday morning, Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net joins us to recap and discuss some of the news made over the week. In keeping with tradition, today we marked the end of another year-long week. The week began when, just a few hours after we recorded last week's show, the White House idiots invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its president. Also this week, ICE murdered a US citizen - a white, Christian woman, Renee Good, who was a mother of three and a poet. Yes, there was a LOT of

I'm happy to welcome MS NOW's Senior Political and National Reporter Jacob Soboroff to the show today. The occasion is the release of his new book, FIRESTORM: THE GREAT LOS ANGELES FIRES AND AMERICA'S NEW AGE OF DISASTER which hit shelves on the first anniversary of those historic and horrific fires which he covered for NBC News. As usual, we'll begin with today's news which is dominated by this administrations lies, disinformation and brutality that yesterday took the life of an

We started today's Nicole Sandler Show with breaking news from Minnesota where an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year old mother, a US citizen, who was attempting to drive away. Of course, everyone from Kristi Noem to the orange dick-tator said she was a terrorist who tried to kill the murderer. Videos show what happened and confirm that they are lying.Executive Editor of The American Prospect, David Dayen joined me at the start of the show.

2026/01/06

Today is an anniversary I'd prefer that we not recognize. But we must, because the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol five years ago today and their criminal leader would like nothing more than for us to move on and forget it ever happened. We can't and we won't. Because, if we do, we surrender and declare our democracy dead. That, we refuse, now and forever. I was on the air that day; I actually went live earlier than our regular showtime because of what was unfolding live on

I hope everyone got some good rest and relaxation because it's unlikely we'll have more of that for a while. We begin the week on a Monday and, if it's Monday, it's Jonathan Larsen of his two important substack newsletters: The Fu%&ing News and Jonathan Larsen where he does important, original reporting.

Today For the final show of 2025 (good riddance), I opted to feature some past moments from the show over the years that still resonate today, sharing a little bit of everything - including a visit or two from Bernie Sanders, and my appearance on Rock & Roll Jeopardy. I've been sick over the holidays, so please excuse my voice as I introduce the various segments I'll share. Today is also the 10th Anniversary of my wedding to David. I actually did a live show that afternoon. So I'll

Tom Petty and Me and Jon Scott - Nicole Sandler Show

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/12/30

I only met and interviewed Tom Petty once. Unlike most of the artist interviews I did during my music radio years, he did not perform live for us. He just came into the studio at Channel 103.1 (KACD and KBCD in Los Angeles) on April 30, 1999 and hung out with me for a while on the air. He was promoting the album that had just been released, ECHO. Following that interview, we'll move ahead about 20 years to July 26, 2019 for an interview with Jon Scott about his book, TOM PETTY AND ME. Jon Scott

We're in the final stretch of 2025, and I can't wait to put this shitty year behind us. If you remember back around a year ago, Trump promised he'd end the Russian war again Ukraine in a day, after taking office again. Well here we are, a year later and he hasn't. But he's still kissing up to Putin, siding with him over Zelinksyy and Ukraine and selling out western Democracies to push Putin's authoritarian agenda. I figured today would be a good day to refresh our memories

And then, to May of 1999 with Gregg Alexander of New Radicals. Healing, indeed.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

2025/12/25

I had planned on just playing some non-traditional Christmas music today, but my plans changed when I read the awful news yesterday that my friend Howie Klein died. Regular listeners/viewers of this show are familiar with Howie, as he appeared with me on Thursdays, going back probably 15 years. We talked about politics, as that's been his focus since he retired from Warner Brothers and his position as president of Reprise Records. His career in the music business was monumental, starting at

It's Christmas Eve, so we're spending it with the Marsh Family! I first found them on YouTube in the early days of the pandemic, and was fortunate enough to meet them here, on our show, on March 26, 2021. They came back for Christmas Eve (we recorded on 12/21/21, but aired it on 12/24), and again, the following year on December 21, 2022. I thought that today, we'd share a bit of each of those three appearances, and start the show with their newest video. Yes, The Marsh Family is still

2025 was a rough year all around. It took too many precious souls from us way too soon, On May 1, the amazingly talented singer/songwriter Jill Sobule was tragically killed in a house fire. She was so much more than her wonderful music. She was a truly special person, and she was my friend for around 30 years.We kick off two weeks of holiday shows featuring moments from my radio past, and kick it off today with a celebration of Jill Sobule.

That is, unless the orange fascist does something unthinkable, in which case we'll jump back in. Both Marcy and I are hoping to take some down time to relax, unplug, and regroup, but with things as they are these days, we just don't know. Today, we discussed Four Ways to Fight Fascism, taken from Marcy's post this morning at emptywheel.net. And a

As anyone who's listened to this show for a while knows, Lisa Graves is my favorite go-to expert on the courts, the laws and the many ways this administration acts as if the laws don't apply to them/him. As we near the end of the year, there are many illegal actions D'ump has been trying to invoke. Thankfully, there are many who abide by our laws trying to stop him. And then there's the issue of due process, which the orange one thinks doesn't exist for us mere humans. Lisa also
