Here's my audition for the "progressive news talk hour" on the otherwise conservative, KSCO, AM 1080. Each weekday they've been having different progressives (or as they say "lunatic left") on the air from 12 til 1 pm. I editted out the network headlines and station ids and left the interview intact, callers and all.
