Have you listened to Blue Jersey Radio lately?

Written by: Jeff Gardner on Aug 8, 2008 11:49 AM EDT

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with 30 minutes of New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.

When we launched Blue Jersey Radio last Spring, we didn't know exactly what to expect. But, we kept showing up every week, and looking back, the results have been pretty cool.

If we had only the weekly gossip from Trenton, it would have been enough. If we had only our awesome lineup of guests, it would have been enough. If we had only our amazing listeners and callers, it would have been enough. But, we had all that (and a few too many bags of chips).

So, we thought it would be fun to take a quick look back at some of our memorable shows, and introduce the uninitiated to Blue Jersey Radio. Our shows are LIVE each week, but they all become podcasts too - available on iTunes or Blogtalkradio. We invite you to go back and listen to our interviews with:

National Figures

We've been joined by a Presidential candidate, a national grassroots leader, and the man behind the National Popular Vote movement.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich

DFA Chairman Jim Dean

John Koza

Current and Future Congressmembers

We've met some of the people looking to take our Democratic House Delegation up a notch from its (totally weak) current 7-6 split.

Rep. Frank Pallone

Rep. Rob Andrews

Rep. Steve Rothman

Asw. Linda Stender

Dennis Shulman

Tom Wyka

Josh Zeitz

Plus, we've talked to some great State Leaders and Progressive Local Challengers too (check them out below the fold).

But, most importantly, we've had loads of fun doing it. So join us for our next show - Wednesday, August 13th, when as always, WE'LL DO IT LIVE! - from 8:30p-9:00p - and you can too.

Just call: 646-652-2773 during the show, and let us know what's on your mind.
We'd love to hear from you!

State Leaders 

We've sat down with party and legislative leaders in Trenton - old faces and new - who hold the levers of power the Blue Jersey audience seeks to influence.

State Sen. Loretta Weinberg

State Sen. Teresa Ruiz

State Sen. Jim Whelan

Asm. Joe Cryan

Asm. Reed Gusciora

Asw. Valerie Huttle

Progressive Challengers

And we've heard from the brave souls who stand up to challenge incumbents in races where they receive little institutional support, and even less media attention.

Gina Genovese

Ed Selby

Seema Singh

Rich Dennison

Pat Walsh

Toni Zimmer
