You don't need me for Hartmann anymore. You can get his show at:

Hey thanks so much, 480v !

I have been sporadically downloading Mp4 videos of Thom Hartmann ( the Free Speech TV version ) from You Tube, converting them to Mp3 audio at 192K and listening to the 3 hour shows and fast-forwarding over the breaks.

By the way, Randi Rhodes quit her show and her last broadcast will be on May 16.

Thom's show is better than Ring of Fire, but if I find any good topics I'll still download this from time to time. Hope things are OK in your personal life now.
Let me vent.

It's odd that Randi would suddenly quit when she had a little over half year left anyway. I find it a bit (hate to say) disrespectful to her fans after they fought to keep her show going which Randi herself expressed that's what she wanted. So what is her reason? Why not just finish the rest of her contract? Costa Rica isn't going anywhere.

Frankly, I think she's bailing to save face. I haven't heard her show in awhile, but her show lost substance and credibility a while ago when began avoiding sensitive topics about Obama. Has she ever talked about Obama's wish to pass TransAtlantic Free Trade Partnership? Or how about Obama's ex-lobbyist choice for FCC Chair Tom Wheeler's capitulation to kill Net Neutrality? I fear what Clinton did for MSM is what Obama's FCC will do for internet. Or how about Keystone XL Pipeline?

Is Randi running out of diversion topics? No offense, but I won't shed a tear if she quits. I don't care anymore.
I know a lot of people love Randi. I loved her show myself. I'm just disappointed at her. It's frustration when she dedicates a whole show to whack jobs of no significance when there are more pressing issues.

Perhaps it changed. Like I said I stopped listening to her a long time ago. I only uploaded her for you guys.
According to Nicole Sandler, Randi decided to call it quits ( giving a full month's notice earlier this month ) because her employer Premiere Networks wouldn't give her the tools she needed to properly do her show. That included Randi's demand to have commercial sponsors buying advertising on the iHeart website. Premiere refused....

However, Randi herself gave a different reason : She feels after 20 years of exposing the bullshit in the Republican Party, the conservatism racket, the dangers of mass shootings due to lax gun laws, etc. she just had enough.

I don't recall if Randi talked about Keystone XL or not, because I missed some of her shows along the way. She hasn't gotten into bashing Obama or his defense of the TPP, but then trade agreements were never on her radar the way it is for Nicole Sandler (who has discussed that guest-hosting Randi's show as well as her own podcast -- both for the past 4 years+).

Nicole will fill in for Randi again this coming week, and then Ms. Rhodes will broadcast for the final two weeks and it's over. She doesn't consider it ending her radio career as much as starting the next chapter in her life. Are you sure she's going to Cost Rica ?
Fine, Premier is being difficult. But her contract ends at the end of the year anyway. Why not just ride it out and get paid? Sure, news sucks, but it always sucks. I don't buy it. She's saving face by splitting.

How the hell has Randi never talked about Keystone or the TPP? It boggles the mind. These are huge huge issues. I am sick of her infatuation with Obama. He can't do no wrong. If he does... you'll never hear about it from Randi. It's quite apparent this woman LOVES obama. literally. And her perfect image of him is more important than reality.
Yeah, she loves Obama but she's found fault with him a few times but somehow manages to rationalize some of his behavior ( in other words, how he's tried to negotiate with Republicans to get some things done ). So what ?

Randi is outspoken on a variety of problem on our country. The other day Nicole filling in for her during this long-planned vacation week said that her offer to Randi to call into her podcast anytime remains open. So if Nicole were to bring up the Keystone XL pipeline and Obama's decision to put if off till after the November elections, I have no doubt Randi would say what Ed Schultz did : the it was a shrewd strategic move on the President, and that he's giving people time to comment on it. Yeah, we know it's dangerous for the environment and that tar sands sludge isn't even being sold to Americans, but whether it gets done or not surely Randi MUST have brought it up in the past and that probably was one of her shows I missed.
