It's our swan song at Green 960AM.

Guests include Green 960 program director John Scott, David Dayen of FireDogLake, Robert Cruickshank of Calitics, and a new voice to the show, Erin Polgreen of the Media Consortium. Also joining Angie are Eve Gittelson, also of FireDogLake and Dante Atkins - Hekebolos at Daily Kos.
