Welcome Back Sam Seder!

Well, so far so bad for Air America Radio 2.1 or whatever they are calling it now....It absolutely breaks my heart for reasons that I suppose are boring anymore for anyone who read this blog even occasionally...and Im not writing about Maron anymore unless Im reviewing a particular show, because its just maudlin at this point to look back with anything but fondness at what that crew accomplished...and I'm the last person to want any artist to stay in a box...onward and upward is what I always say!...Yeah right!..pass the Prozac!
Other blogs have covered the horrible disspointment that is Lionel (or "God" as he likes to call himself..."Its just a Joke" says Mom. Oh yeah? Well I guess I forgot what funny was in the months, or has it been years, since we've lost the funny...oh well) and Im not going to bother anymore except to say that I'm only listening to a little Rachel Maddow and Ring of Fire on the weekends.
Well, today I got a cool little newsletter from Sammy Seder called The Seder Reader. His new show, Sam Seder 3.75's Seder on Sundays, will be starting this Sunday, May 20th, at 4PM EST. Its apparently a 3 hour show and will be pretty much along the lines of his weekday show, except that there will not be enough of it. The Sammy Cam WILL be in effect, making the commercial breaks as fun as the show itself, so do stream it live from your computer and AAR's page. Otherwise, you may be at the mercy of fickle terrestrial radio signals (1600 AM in the NYC area...and good luck with that!) or podcasting which may or may not be part of the premium service...ugh!
One nice thing is that Sam's web page seems to be coming together and it would be nice to have a working blog over there...I could hardly ever post on his official blog and I was always sure that it was just me (blocked, no doubt!) until I started to hear that from alot of people.
Anyway, I am tremendously happy that Sammy will be back on the air, and I know that the mooks at AAR will have to reinstate his show to a daily affair before long.
In the meantime, I have been pretty disappointed at the Imus slot situation on MSNBC , with Stephanie Miller never really doing it for me one way or another, (not to mention that she is not all that nice to Brian from Everett, and she STOLE the Liberal Confessional,) whoever that scary bald guy was and then David Gregory, who I like as a reporter but who is not great as a radio personality or goofy performer guy. But I have strangely been enjoying Joe Scarborough's Morning Joe. Call me crazy, but I can take Joe in the morning a little bit better than at night. And as Jill said a while back, you know that things are changing when you start to think that Scarborough is making some sense!
In reality, I can always watch the Daily Show and Colbert from the night before...and sometimes even Olbermann...in the time I actually have in the mornings...Its the driving around parts of the day that are rather dead now, though the weather has been totally wild so Ive been listening to alot of local news as things happen.
Welcome back Sam! You deserved a better shake than you go, but this is gonna have to be it for the time being...and we will hope for more in time....
