A BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW
The playing field has never, ever, ever, ever been level between right wing and liberal. The genius of Limbaugh was not Limbaugh, it was Roger Ailes. ... the person who comes up with the best marketing idea is the person who usually comes up with the winner, not the person who comes up with the best product. Right-wing talk radio is not a good product. It's toxic. It's destructive. It's negative. But it had behind it a marketing genius, Roger Ailes.

Mike Malloy has spent nearly two decades representing an aggressively progressive perspective on radio programs in various markets. After departing in contentious circumstances from Air America Radio during their period of financial bankruptcy, Malloy was hired by NovaM Radio Network, the new kid on the block for developing progressive radio outlets and talent. (Interestingly enough, NovaM was founded by Anita and Sheldon Drobny, who began Air America Radio before leaving the struggling network during a "reorganization.")
Malloy has developed a core of fans known as "truthseekers." They are loyal and devoted, many of them BuzzFlash readers.
Mike is the fourth periodic BuzzFlash interview to introduce progressive talk show hosts to BuzzFlash readers. Our first three were with Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes and Stephanie Miller. We will be talking with other progressive radio personalities in the coming months. Our goal is to help build an audience for these programs.
Give them a listen. Most of them can be streamed online during their live broadcasts -- or check to see if they can be heard on a radio station in your area.
