The Nicole Sandler Show

It's another Tuesday, so @GottaLaff joins in as usual to shoot the shit about what's happening in the news. Since we're all quarantining at home, Amy Simon returns to join Laffy & Nicole for another gathering of the Gliberal Goddesses. Of course, we begin as usual with some laughs, some news and a rant or two..

4-20 this year fell on a Monday, a day that I don't usually do a show. But I've just launched a Patreon page [http://patreon.com/nicolesandlershow] and must start producing some bonus content for subscribers. So this is our first bonus show. The first hour will be on YouTube and here-- on the regular Nicole Sandler Show podcast as usual; the second part aired live on the Nicole Sandler Show stream and is available as a bonus podcast content for patrons. We begin with another episode of Quarantine Calling, this time to New Zealand for the artist behind some of the wonderful parody videos we've been playing, followed the usual news and info. Then, since it is 4/20, a conversation with Robert Platshorn [http://twitter.com/bobbytuna] of The Silver Tour [http://thesilvertour.org], who served the longest federal prison sentence in US history for a nonviolent marijuana charge.

It's Friday, and we have a great show to end the week. In the first half hour, a no-holds barred conversation MSNBC's Ali Velshi.... followed by a visit from Kelly Carlin, who took her life lessons learned from her iconic father, George Carlin, and her masters studies in Jungian Psychology to help the rest of us muddle through. Since muddling is difficult during quarantine, Kelly will lead us on a helpful, calming guided meditation!

Today, we continue our Quarantining Calling with a call to Finland to find out how they're faring in our global coronavirus pandemic. After a look at the latest news, it's time for our weekly visit with Howie Klein of Down With Tyranny and the Blue America PAC to turn the focus back on the very important congressional races ahead in November.

After Bernie Sanders dropped his presidential bid last week, I read a perfectly-pitched rant from author/journalist/college professor Jeff Sharlet [http://twitter.com/jeffsharlet] that articulated much of what I was feeling. I'll post the rant on my blog at http://nicolesandler.com4-15-20 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fnicolesandler.com4-15-20&redir_token=koWyyydrKR2mWNAuvlPG5gBOdmJ8MTU4NzA2OTU1NkAxNTg2OTgzMTU2&event=video_description&v=wiKQXLRzq4w] where today's podcast will be posted so you can read the whole thing. I had been meaning to invite Jeff Sharlet back to the show to discuss his new book, "This Brilliant Darkness [https://bookshop.org/a/1630/9781324003205]" anyway-- so we'll discuss all of that and much more today! As usual, we start the show with something funny, and bring you up to date on the news of the day too.
