  • Summary

  • A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.

Well Done and Informative.

Al and Dahlia shared a warm chemistry, which, added to the gentle method used to introduce each topic, was soothing to the listener. The recounting of the number of overturned precedents was impressive. They knew their facts, but it was no recitation. This was truly a worthwhile way to spend my time and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
