Due credit to Stephanie Miller

Hands down my favorite news/pundit show, be it radio or TV,  is the Stephanie Miller show.  You can read about her and her show here. 

Stephanie’s father was William Miller, the Congressman who ran as the vice presidential nominee with Barry Goldwater in 1964.  She was raised by Republicans, but has long been a progressive liberal, who by the way is a hilarious comedian.

Her show is nationally syndicated and if you pay about $54  a year you can download the shows and put them on your computer or MP3 player and listen to them while you are driving around, walking your dog, or vacuuming your floor (all of which I did today).

But Steph is no lightweight.  Because she is so genuine, smart, funny, and attractive, she gets great guests.  Some of them are recurring by day of the week and I won’t try to list them all, but on Monday you get Lee Papa (the Rude Pundit), on Tuesday you get Charlie Pierce (author of Idiot America), on Wednesday you get Hal Sparks {takes a while for this to load}  (a brilliant comedian and actor who bravely played “Michael” on “Queer as Folk” even though he is totally straight), on Thursday you get “Face the Grayson” with Congressman Alan Grayson (truth to power x 10).

She also often appears on Larry King, the Ed Show, CNN and the like. 

Anyway, I was listening to the podcast of her show today, after downloading and transferring to my MP3 player,  and in the second hour she interviewed Frank Rich, as she often does.  The segment was just perfect, giving lots of humor but allowing Frank to lay on some very profound stuff.  It was so good I wanted to share it with all of you, so I edited it out using  my recording studio programs.  Here is that interview in full.  You will hear Steph, and the other voices (besides Frank Rich) are Hal Sparks, Chris Lavoy (her producer), and Jim Ward (a voice “deity,”  who does all the voice impression on the show, which are always hilarious.)  Check it out and enjoy.
