Nicole Sandler, a progressive radio host – formerly of Air America and other talk and music gigs – is now broadcasting online. You can check her out on twitter (@nicolesandler) or at her website Radio or Not. She also has a blog as part of the site. Last night’s (March 1, 2010) episode is embedded below. You can go to UStream.tv/radioornot and get all her latest episodes as they air. She seems to use the chat room there during broadcasts. Currently there are about a dozen archived shows there from the last few weeks. That should be plenty to to see if you like her style.
