Bernie Sanders is now a podcast

[Donkees]

Vermont senator and former presidential nominee Bernie Sanders’ talk show, The Bernie Sanders Show, is now available to stream as a podcast on iTunes. There are three available episodes, dated March 27th, 28th, and 29th. Episodes are also available on the senator’s site.

Sanders’ show has primarily lived on Facebook until now. The show touts itself as a way to “stay informed on the political revolution,” and promises to focus on how the senator and others “are fighting back against the Trump administration and its efforts divide us up.” Guests include Rev. William Barber, a North Carolina political leader; famous science guy Bill Nye; and director and playwright Josh Fox. Other activists, journalists, policymakers, “visionaries,” and “revolutionaries” will be featured on the show.

In the wake of the election, Sanders has continued to vehemently disagree with President Trump’s administration. In addition to publicly speaking against many of the president’s policies and actions, he’s even printed out Trump’s tweets to bring to Senate discussions.

“Election days come and go, but political and social revolutions that attempt to transform our society never end,” the show’s description reads.

3. That sums it up for me, too.

I used to listen to him on the Thom Hartmann show for years. This last election season, I realized that he had been giving the exact same answer to every single listener question over that time.

9. "exact same answer to every single listener question"

Exactly.

8. I wouldn't even worry about that. His tactics failed in a local election in

Los Angeles, which is a big sign of the direction they are going. Basically, the attack on the competition is that they know people. They were endorsed by the L.A. Mayor, etc., and his "Berniecrats" per the article, tried to smear Gomez as "Establishment". These attacks have been completely overplayed. People are sick of it. Everyone will smile and clap for him, though. But I wouldn't worry.

I didn't write the real article name, just a link:

2. I'm not a big Sanders fan, but...

I've wondered why there isn't more of this kind of thing. Robert Reich has his 'resistance reports' on Facebook and he makes his MoveOn videos and posts them to Facebook too. They are a good length for the issues that he addresses.

I'd like to see a cable network that features programs of this type that debunk bullshit right-wing talking points.

You can see the shift in attitude on CNN immediately after Trump used military action. We will never straighten out the problems with the main stream media without being able to present news and opinion WITHOUT advertisers.

Advertisers will ALWAYS modify the content of the program.

4. I am so excited about these new

podcasts and the FB live. I do not and will not be getting iTunes but hopefully they will still be on FB. Somewhere I hope. If not I am still happy he is working for the party and that they have accepted him and are working with him, as they always have.

I will go read now and hope that there is a way to get these without patronizing one more thing to get them.
