So you want to start a progressive podcast? These 10 tips will help you be successful
 Here are a few tips to the up-and-coming crop of progressive podcasters from somebody who's been doing it for around 15 years.Rush Limbaugh has, at various times, claimed credit for the elections of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump—and given how narrow electoral margins have been recently, he may be right. But now, in a free-market fashion that even conservatives have to salute, an explosion of podcasting is causing the tide to turn. So here are a few tips to the up-and-coming crop of progressive podcasters (I've been contacted by dozens this past year) from somebody who's been doing it (on live radio, live TV, and two different versions [paid and commercial-funded] of our podcasts) for around 15 years.

Time for Trump To Start Following the Law
The White House has instructed Carl Kline not to testify before Congress. He's the guy who supervised getting a security clearance, over the objection of the intelligence agencies, for Jared Kushner. Similarly, Steve Mnuchin has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to defy the law and not give Trump's tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. These are all simple and straightforward violations of the law and naked attempts to obstruct justice; this is the behavior of an authoritarian dictator, a person who doesn't believe in our Constitution or even the simple concepts of democracy. Elected officials should not tolerate this behavior and prosecute Trump and his co-conspirators to the fullest extent of the law, including impeachment where appropriate. -Thom |
