Good Riddance 2025 - New Years Eve on the Nicole...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/12/31

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

2025/12/30

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

Since music heals, and we could all use some healing right about now, I thought today would be a good day to dig back into my archives to my music radio days in Los Angeles for some favorites.Today I take you back to Sept of 1996 with Jackson Browne. 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

Rest in Power Howie Klein 1948-2025

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

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

2025/12/24

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

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/12/22

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. I pulled together a few of her on-air appearances with me

Today is the last time we'll spend an hour plus with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net in 2025... We'll return on Friday January 2, 2026. 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

2025/12/18

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

As we near the end of the year, the administration is showing cracks at the seams, and sadly, things are getting scarier. I've long realized that the news goes down easier when you can inject some humor into it. Thankfully, John Fugelsang is our guest today to add that spoonful of sugar to the sour notes.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Counting Down To The End of the Year

2025/12/16

We have 15 days left in 2025. But many of us take time off around the holidays, so we're really counting the days until the end of the week... I'll be taking some time off for the holidays, but won't know my complete schedule until I talk it over with Marcy Wheeler. But I'll try to let you know in the next day or two. This week got off to a shitty start. Yesterday, we spent a lot of time talking about Rob Reiner, for good reason. I still can't believe he's gone. Then last

Thank God It's Emptywheel Friday

2025/12/12

Thank goodness this week is nearly over, as yesterday alone was exhausting. And I'm truly grateful that we have Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel.net each Friday to help us figure out all that transpired, or most of it anyway.There were hearings and pardons and lies, oh my! And more evidence that D'ump's mind is deteriorating even faster than before...I'm really not feeling well today, so I'm keeping the write-up short and sweet. It's all in today's show, so sit back, put on

2025/12/12

Today on the show, we recap the two big hearings on Capitol Hill today. The split screen made me feel even sicker than I already do! First, a Senate hearing on the future of the ACA's extended subsidies and the votes. Nothing good happened there. The House Oversight Committee hearing was ostensibly about the global threats the US is facing, but Kristi Noem was in the hot seat, so you can guess where this hearing went... Later in the hour, I speak with Tommy Dorfman, a long-time EDM music/event

Will Bunch Goes to New Orleans and Finds Some Ugly Ice

2025/12/10

One of my favorite columnists, Will Bunch, national opinion columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, took a road trip. Last week, he left Philly and showed up in New Orleans, along with ICE. Yeah, on purpose. He reported on the ugliness these unqualified goons spread in their wake. Will returned home to PA just in time to hear Dump's word and brain salad that he spewed over the people who went to hear him for 90 minutes at the Mount Airy Casino, which itself has a shameful, storied past.

Back in 2012, People for the American Way put out the campaign button on today's show graphic. They knew it then, but the Democrats never pushed the issue enough. It was and still is the Supreme Court, stupid! The Extreme Court yesterday heard a case that will likely give the guy in the Oval Office even more power than he's already grabbed. And the case they heard today could likely open the campaign contribution floodgates even wider than they already are. Law Dork's Chris Geidner

It's been 10 days since our last gathering with Marcy Wheeler as we did last Friday's show on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. And it's been quite an eventful 10 days at that! On today's show. we cover much of what happened during that time-- from yesterday's arrest of the alleged Jan 6 pipe bomber to Pete Hegseth's many problems including Signalgate and the Murder Boats, Trump's sickening pardons, the prosecutions of James Comey, Maurene Comey, Letitia James and

"America's Dirty Secret" is what today's guest, Catherine Coleman Flowers calls the problem she is devoted to fixing, and it's a problem that's not much-discussed unless you live in some of the poorest rural communities in the US where it's more prevalent that most of us realize. Catherine Coleman Flowers is an environmental and climate justice activist. She's been called the "Erin Brockovich of Sewage" because her work focuses on improving sanitation and
