CURRENT ISSUE: MAY 2012
Lizz Winstead
By Elizabeth DiNovella | “The media was supposed to be the watchdog for the regular folks, and now comedians have to be the watchdog of the media,” says the creator of The Daily Show.
On the Trail with Elizabeth Warren
Abby Scher | “The banks broke this economy one lousy mortgage at time,” says the populist Senate candidate.
June issue | What’s at Stake in Wisconsin
By Ruth Conniff and Matthew Rothschild | After a year and a half of historic protests and unprecedented citizen activism, the recall is a referendum on whether grassroots, democratic action can overcome the power of money in the Citizens United era.
Welcome to the Radio Offerings of The Progressive
We produce two things.
First, we offer a weekly half-hour interview show called "Progressive Radio," hosted by Matthew Rothschild, the editor of The Progressive.
And second, Rothschild does a short commentary every weekday, called "Progressive Point of View,” which runs approximately 90 seconds.
Both are free to radio stations and listeners.
