Welcome to Al Franken’s listeners and anyone else who is new.

As of next Monday February 19, Thom will be using the Air America Radio number used by Al Franken and the other hosts, which I believe is 1 866 303 2270.

Thom is based in Portland, Oregon but will be broadcasting from New York City next week.

You can listen (again) Thom’s most recent show for free until the next show begins. Details here.

You can also stream Thom’s local KPOJ show. It airs from 6 to 9 a.m. weekdays Pacific Time.

Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent of Vermont is Thom’s guest for the first hour of nearly every Friday show. Bernie is happy to take your calls.

On the last hour of Fridays Thom has been doing something that has probably not been done on talk radio before – writing a book on air: “Cracking the Code: The Art and Science of Political Persuasion".

The Thom Hartmann Program has been nominated for two Project Censored Awards - February 7, 2007 - Coverage of the Military Commissions Act/ End of Habeas Corpus & November 3, 2006 - Coverage of the Operation Falcon Sweeps.

Over the past year, Leonardo DiCaprio has produced a feature-length documentary titled "The 11th Hour," about the fate and future of the human race. The movie draws from the book “The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight” written by Air America’s very own Thom Hartmann. At Leonardo’s request, Thom makes an appearance in the film as what he likes to call a “talking head” interviewed about the fate of humanity. The movie will be premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France in May, and then set for a US release in the late summer/early fall. http://11thhourfilm.com www.LeonardoDiCaprio.org (Click on the “Global Warming” banner)

Thom’s latest article to be published is “Repeal the Military Commissions Act and Restore the Most American Human Right”.

Thom’s most recent Buzzflash "Independent Thinker" Book of the Month Review is "Cannery Row" by John Steinbeck.

Please take the time to read the terms of service (see below). Most of them can be summed up as “please treat each other with respect”. People are free to disagree here but we do ask you not to make personal attacks on each other.

Hi, I'm new to the site, but a regular Air America listener. I get my Air America via XM Radio, but XM is putting Ed Shultz in Thom's Air America slot. I have called XM and voiced my complaint. I urge all of you who want to hear Thom on XM to do the same. I am just getting to know Thom and so far like what I hear. Peace.

Hello,
I am also an XM radio subscriber and was very disappointed and confused when Tom did not replace Al Franken as was being promoted. Then Ed Shultz suddenly was on with no explanation of why the change.It is confusing why I can get Tom on internet airamerica but not on Xm airamerica as promoted.I called XM but got no response.

Hi Esther,

Only XM can answer that, I'm afraid.

Big difference betwwen Shultz and Thom. Thom presents historical data in a way that can be seen in the present context. When he talks on something, he knows the subject matter pretty well and is able to get it across in a straight-foward manner.

Ed pretty much sticks to current talking points. When Thom does, he goes behind the talking point and explains it very well.

I just wish he had a better "prime" spot air time in Denver (am radio). Get that drive-time audience.

Would have loved to have seen him in Boulder. Price of gas pretty much restricts my travels.
