Blue Jersey Radio Celebration - Tonight at 8:30!

by: Jeff Gardner

Thu Jun 19, 2008 at 03:00:00 PM EDT

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

This week: We're celebrating and thanking everybody who voted in the DFA Netroots Nation Scholarship Contest! The winners were announced today, and thanks to all your votes, I landed in superschweet 1st Place, and that means a trip to Austin, TX for this year's third annual Netroots Nation convention. Now, what exactly is a New Jersey boy to do in Texas in July?

Call tonight and give me some ideas.

Plus - joining the show tonight, as he has so ably in the past, is that other South Jersey man of mystery, the blogger formerly known as NJDem: Jason Springer, bringing with him insight, wit and his much-needed research. And Jay fans, fear not: he's calling in too!

So, tune in tonight at 8:30 p.m. for the fastest half-hour in New Jersey politics.

We're LIVE from 8:30p-9:00p, and would love to hear from you. Call: 646-652-2773

Talk to you then!

And We're BACK!!

by: Jeff Gardner

Sat Apr 12, 2008 at 10:15:00 AM EDT

Spring Break(No, not right now - read on.)

After a few much-needed weeks on break, Blue Jersey Radio returns later this week, with just a few nips and tucks to freshen things up:

  • less Trenton, and MORE NEW JERSEY

  • less sports, fashion and pop culture, and MORE POLITICS

  • less idle chatter, and MORE GUESTS

  • and most importantly, NO MORE SATURDAYS!

    That's right - with batteries recharged, Blue Jersey Radio is coming back, and moving to Primetime!

    This Thursday, April 17th at 8:30pm: join us and our special guest:  NJ-5 Congressional Candidate Dennis Shulman.

    Last month, we heard from Shulman's primary opponent, Camille Abate, on her plans to take down Scott Garrett. Now, we'll hear what Dennis has to say about how he plans to beat the newly minted Mr. 29% himself!

    As always, we invite you to call in LIVE at: 646-652-2773. Questions ahead of the show? Drop 'em in the comments, and tune in Thursday to Blue Jersey Radio - NJ's best political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls. Talk to you then!

    We Interrupt This Program

    by: Jeff Gardner

    Fri Mar 28, 2008 at 04:00:00 PM EDT

    Spring BreakFor almost a year now, Blue Jersey Radio has streamed LIVE every Saturday morning with Trenton's latest buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls. It's time to recharge the batteries.

    So, Blue Jersey Radio is taking two weeks off to relax, retool, and reconfigure, and when we return - we'll be ready to rock this state, rock it inside out.

    This week: Whether you're a fan, or you've not yet listened, take a journey through the archive, and hear some classic episodes, like:

  • Rep. Steve Rothman talking about his early support for Obama

  • Rep. Frank Pallone making a primary-eve pitch for Clinton

  • Dennis Kucinich speaking from the Presidential Campaign trail, and

  • Hamsters
  • And, please - drop a line in the comments about what you like, what you hate, and what you think would be cool on future shows. Your feedback will make us better. Thanks!

    In case you missed it, last week, we were joined by Freeheld Director Cynthia Wade LIVE from Los Angeles, on the eve of the Acadamy Awards, and she was great. She sent us some LA warmth, and we sent her some NJ love. And it must have worked, because sure enough - she took home the Oscar.

    "Freeheld" Director Cynthia Wade joins us LIVE on Blue Jersey Radio

    by: Jeff Gardner

    Fri Feb 22, 2008 at 09:56:07 PM EST

    Update: Cynthia was great. It's not every day you get to talk to an Oscar nominee on the eve of the awards show. Good Luck Freeheld! (we'll be watching!) - Jeff

    Listen to Blue Jersey Radio on internet talk radio

    It's Oscar weekend, and this week on Blue Jersey Radio, we're joined by Freeheld Director Cynthia Wade LIVE from Los Angeles, where she is vying for an Academy Award for her incredible documentary of the Laurel Hester story.

    Freeheld chronicles one of the most courageous struggles we have ever witnessed, one that galvanized the progressive GLBT and straight communities in New Jersey.

    Alternating from packed public demonstrations at the county courthouse to quiet, tender moments of Laurel and Stacie at home, "Freeheld" combines tension-filled political drama with personal detail, creating a nuanced study of a grassroots fight for justice.
    And - special bonus - more than a few faces and names familiar to Blue Jersey appear on screen.

    Join us LIVE Saturday morning from 10:30am to 11:00am for a conversation on politics and film, love and money, and all the glitz and glamour of the Oscars. We'll take your calls at:
    (646) 652-2773

    BlueJerseyWhether the Oscar goes to this deserving film, we won't know until Sunday night. But, Laurel will always be a winner in the hearts of New Jersey progressives, as will Director Cynthia Wade for capturing it all.

    And, speaking of Sunday night, if you're not already booked, why not join us really really LIVE (and in person) at Garden State Equality's Oscar Party, featuring a Free Screening of Freeheld. It's at 7pm sharp at the South Orange Performing Arts Center, and it promises to be a blast.

    This is an open thread: Leave your Oscar predictions in the comments.
