Rachel Maddow All This Week on The Al Franken Show
The wonderful, wonderful Rachel Maddow will be guest-hosting The Al Franken Show all this week. I absolutely adore her, and listen to her regular Rachel Maddow Show via MP3 or by podcast on iTunes every weekday — but not this week!
This week, she (and the incomparable Kent Jones) are subbing for Al Franken and Katherine Lanpher, while Isaac-Davy Aronson subs for Rachel and Kent on their early-morning show.
If you don’t know Rachel, here’s a bio, cadged from Air America’s web site.
Check out her degrees!
Rachel Maddow hosts Air America Radio’s national morning drive news program, “The Rachel Maddow Show.” Launched in April 2005, “The Rachel Maddow Show” airs weekdays 5AM-6AM (Eastern) on dozens of Air America Radio stations, as well as nationally online and on XM Radio.
Rachel has a Doctorate in Politics from Oxford University and a degree in Public Policy from Stanford. She was the first openly gay American to win a Rhodes Scholarship.
Her background is in commercial radio (WRSI, WRNX) and political activism.
Prior to launching “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Rachel co-hosted Air America’s “Unfiltered” with Chuck D and Lizz Winstead.
Perhaps more importantly, Rachel knows how to make a Pegu Club Cocktail, enjoys appearing on right-wing TV shows as the smiling-but-obstinate liberal, loves her parents, and thinks AMTRAK hot dogs are a national treasure.
She lives in Western Massachusetts and New York City, with her partner, artist Susan Mikula, and their outstanding dog.
You may also know Rachel for her appearances on MSNBC’s The Situation with Tucker Carlson, for which she has received great reviews, including this one.
This week’s shows are also available via MP3, August 29, 2005-September 2, 2005.
