Air America hits DC!
I know plenty of Washingtonians who would be willing to give a lesser-used toe to hear Al Franken, Chuck D, Lizz Winstead and the rest of the Air America Radio crew on our airwaves. Sadly, there is no AAR station in the area and the online feed doesn't work.
But I have a workaround! WLIB, the New York AAR station, still has its old page, which includes a live feed (be sure to allow pop-ups). Don't be put off by the Carribean theme -- that's just their old format.
UPDATE: An AAR bumper: "For a complete tape library of all our programs, contact John Ashcroft." Nice.

Wow. It sounds just like right wing talk radio, except that they make sense. But I've discovered that I really just don't like this type of talk radio, even if I agree with what they're saying.
Back to NPR I go.

It worked last week.

I grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh, so Al Franken's show is middle ground between that and NPR, and, therefore, quite listenable. Almost a little on the quiet side.

That is, middle ground in tone, not in material =)

Doesn't matter since the market for this medium exists solely of readers of this blog and and a few hundred wonks on the Hill. I think it'll fold in a few months, so enjoy it while you can. Then you can go back to watching ABC, CBS, NBC...PBS...NPR...or, attend classes at most any university in the country.
