Despite what you may think, all political radio is not the droning of vitriolic right-wing nuts. In the vast wasteland known as talk radio, there exists an alcove of sanity, stationed in Atlanta. It broadcasts on American Left 167 XM. I listen to "The Mike Malloy Show" on my way to work from 9pm until Midnight. Mike Malloy is the show's eponymous host. Malloy will report the kind of things you used to be able to get from the dailykos and huffingtonpost. Malloy’s recent topics have include taking on the Bradley Manning situation, giving inside info on the Wisconsin union workers struggles, and tackling right-wing luminaries such as Justice Clarence Thomas. Malloy’s style is confrontation and no-holds barred, but he maintains integrity and fairness in his arguments. Malloy is not in the business for self-aggrandizement or ego-tripping. Rather, he demonstrates a level of passion that comes from the heart of a self-described “democratic socialist’. Malloy is the nightmare of the Republican party, but does not attach loyalty necessarily if a person has a “D” next to their name. Malloy runs a compelling, emotional, genuine, program. You get the feeling Malloy believes what he says. So if you listen to talk radio, cleanse your palette of sports talk, right-wing politics, and morning zoo drivel. Listen to Mike Malloy.
