GUEST: Steven W. Thrasher of The Guardian US
Guest Hosted by Nicole Sandler of RadioOrNot.com...
By Nicole Sandler on 11/25/2015 3:12pm PT  

On today's BradCast, guest host Nicole Sandler speaks with Steven W. Thrasher about his two articles for The Guardian yesterday.

The first one "The men who shot at the Minneapolis protesters want to scare all black people"; the second "Laquan McDonald: senseless killing continues in video after video".

And I couldn't help but wonder if the blatant bigotry displayed by some of the Republican presidential candidates could be emboldening others to let their inner racists loose.

On that note, Happy Thanksgiving!

Guests: Huffington Post's Ryan Grim, Former Australian Prime Minister Tim Fischer
Guest Hosted by Nicole Sandler
By Nicole Sandler on 10/9/2015 4:03pm PT  

On today's BradCast, guest host Nicole Sandler speaks with Huffington Post Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim about the week's big news including the soap operatic goings on in the House GOP caucus, the US bombing of a Doctors without Borders field hospital in Afghanistan, and our shooting epidemic.

With two more shootings just today on or near college campuses, Nicole noticed an Australian Tweeting about how they changed their gun laws there, so she invited him on for a conversation. And she shared her 2013 interview with former Australian Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer, who was in office during the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre and helped usher tough new gun laws that have prevented another mass shooting there since.

GUESTS: Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), Emptywheel's Marcy Wheeler
Guest Hosted by Nicole Sandler...
By Nicole Sandler on 10/8/2015 3:21pm PT  

On today's BradCast, guest hosted by Nicole Sandler, we discuss the Kevin McCarthy saga and the US bombing of a medic hospital in Afghanistan.

As House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy was poised to take the first step toward becoming Speaker of the House today, he did an 11th hour about face. Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), who filed an ethics complaint against McCarthy just yesterday, joins us to explain why he did it, and how he might have been the cause of today's turmoil.

Guest host Nicole Sandler of radioornot.com speculates that a Speaker who can’t adequately speak probably wouldn't have worked out too well anyway.

And Emptywheel's Marcy Wheeler helps us understand the inconceivable bombing of a Doctors without Borders hospital in Afghanistan over the weekend.

Guests: Antonia Juhasz on BP Gulf Spill settlement & Jason Leopold on Hillary Clinton's emails...
Guest Hosted by Nicole Sandler!...
By Nicole Sandler on 7/6/2015 5:41pm PT  

On today's BradCast, guest hosted by me, Nicole Sandler of radioornot.com...

Last week we saw two major news dumps! The first was Tuesday night at 9pm (!), the time the State Department thought was optimal for them to release the first batch of Hillary Clinton emails from her private mail server. Jason Leopold, "FOIA Terrorist" from Vice News, filed the FOIA requests that led to this release. He spent the Fourth of July weekend reading the damned things so we wouldn't have to, and he joined in for the last few minutes of the show.

The other big dump came Thursday night, on the eve of the Independence Day holiday, as the U.S. DoJ and five Gulf states announced a deal with BP representing a final settlement on the world's largest offshore oil spill in history in 2010. Oil industry expert/journalist Antonia Juhasz, who covered the deal at Rolling Stone, arguing that, though it's the largest such settlement in history, BP still "got off cheaply", gives us all the details.

Also, if you ever wondered why Brad uses the theme song he does, I've got the "exclusive" on that. Plus, South Carolina legislator really embarrasses himself over marriage equality, and we're happy to help him...
