If you'd like to hear some radio voices that are not twisted to the ultraright and not tortured with bile, find Air America Radio on your dial! This all-progressive/all-the-time-network is literally a breath of fresh air. Ranging coast to coast, Air America delivers a full lineup of hard-hitting, fun, straight-shooting, anti-establishment voices -- and now you can find your favorite Texas populist among them!
Hightower's daily two-minute radio commentaries are being carried twice a day on 56 Air America stations, once in the AM during the "Air America Mornings" show and again in the evening on "The Majority Report." These daily "Pops of Populism," as Hightower calls them, cover the same sort of topics and come with the same sort of maverick attitude and biting humor that you find every month in the Lowdown. The lead sponsors of Hightower's broadcasts are our friends at the United Steelworkers of America union and the Marijuana Policy Project.
Air America Radio was launched only two-and-a-half years ago by a group of liberal funders and radio pros who were fed up with the endless spewings of right-wing blatherers who controlled practically the entire dial. Rather than just shouting back at their radios, these liberal listeners had the gumption to get on the radio.
The right-wing mocked them, the industry establishment scoffed at them, and just about everyone doubted they would last even six months. But not only have they survived, they've thrived! Now in nearly all major and midsized markets, Air America keeps gaining affiliates, adding terrific talent, and drawing a large audience of folks looking for radio with a difference -- and radio that can make a difference.
To find the list of stations that are carrying Hightower's daily commentaries and to see the times that they air, go to his website: www.jimhightower.com.

So turn your radio on -- and get radioactive with Air America!
