The Nicole Sandler Show

The world's gone mad, and there are only so many topics we can handle in one day. So while Dorian churns and the Amazon burns, we'll get through as much of it as possible. With our nation's gun epidemic seemingly getting worse, we'll tackle the issue of guns today with Penny Okamoto, Director of GVPedia.org, the gun violence database. Before we get into guns with Penny, we'll fill you in on an app I discovered that lets you make informed decisions about which companies to patronize based on their political contributions.

In October of 1998, shortly after we signed Channel 103.1 on the air, a band called New Radicals released its one and only album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. It quickly became my favorite album of the year, with "You Get What You Give" my personal theme song. Although the album was recorded under the New Radicals moniker, it was really a Gregg Alexander project. He wrote and produced all the songs and played most of the instruments. After YGWYG took off, Gregg shunned the spotlight, realizing he really hated the "rigamarole" that goes along with promoting a hit record. He joined me in Studio C for a rare live interview and solo performance. Within a month, he had disbanded New Radicals and said he was leaving the business. Thankfully, Gregg Alexander continues writing and producing, preferring to keep his genius more behind the scenes than out front. I'm grateful that I had this moment with him. From May 3, 1999, my interview with New Radicals' Gregg Alexander.

It's a big day here at the Nicole Sandler Show. First, today marks three years that I'm cancer-free; my lung cancer surgery was three years ago today. Second, I'm based in South Florida, where we're currently bracing for Hurricane Dorian to hit on Monday or Tuesday as a Category Four storm. I've done this dance too many times. Our guest today is Frank Schaeffer who, due to his father, has a perspective on the religious right that few others have. He'll tell about his background, and then explain what's so disturbing about Donald Trump's relationship with the evangelicals and how he's surrounded by "Jew-hating Christian Zionists"- perfect conversation to kick off your labor day weekend festivities!
