Mancini. O'Connell. Daily.
OK, weekdaily. But after four years of Monday mornings on 91 Rock, Liberadio(!), the city's hit liberal talk radio and public-affairs program, has expanded online to five days a week. Starting this morning, hosts Mary Mancini and Freddie O'Connell will add an hour-long broadcast 9 a.m. Tuesday through Friday on Blog Talk Radio.
And they're starting with a bang. Their first guest in the new format is election-reform advocate Bernie Ellis of Gathering to Save Our Democracy--who evidently didn't take the hint to keep his mouth closed, even after Secretary of State Tre Hargett unleashed the TBI on him for no good reason.
Then tune in Thursday morning for an hour with none other than P.J. Tobia, international man of mystery. The former Scene reporter, now living in Kabul, has been filing dispatches for the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Christian Science Monitor. Call in and find out if he's still feeling Afghaniscrewed.
Coming soon to Liberadio(!) are our newest addition to the Pith playhouse, blogger Betsy Phillips, discussing May Town Center with Metro Council member Emily Evans on Friday; longtime political observer and Nashville media fixture Teddy Bart; environmental activist Steve Scarborough; The Texas Observer editor Bob Moser; and many more.
