I was fortunate enough to interview Professor Andrew Koppelman. He is the John Paul Stevens professor of law at Northwestern University. We discussed the Affordable Care Act. We discussed the ridiculous notion that conservatives have been pushing for the last 12 months that somehow the individual mandate opens up a “slippery slope.” This will allow [...]

I’m in the driver’s seat. I’m going to be talking with David Weiss of the Center for American Progress about oil prices. I will also chat with Professor Andrew Koppelman, the John Paul Stevens professor of law at Northwestern, who will be in the house to talk about the Health Care law. Finally, I will [...]

A couple of days ago, I interviewed Dr. Greg Dworkin (Dem from Ct), who is one of the main bloggers at the DailyKos. We discussed a wide range of topics as related to polling and what the American public is thinking – gas prices, who is voting in the GOP primaries, why the GOP primaries [...]

Sometimes you don’t really appreciate what kind of wonderful friends you have. I have known Dr. Robert Smith and Dr. Roxanne (Rocky) Roberts for over a decade. I met them at one of the trauma meetings we attended back in the ’90s, if I’m not mistaken. Great folks. I had no idea that they were interested in [...]

It is my pleasure to interview Scott Horton once again. He is a lawyer and writer at Harpers magazine. He is an adjunct professor at the Columbia School of Law, with an interest in international law and human rights. I talked to him about what he is doing recently and we spent a few minutes [...]

I was on Local Edge Radio last Thursday. Blake and I called up Dr. Elizabeth Perry from the American Heart Association to chat with us about heart health. From the CDC: In 2008, over 616,000 people died of heart disease. Heart disease caused almost 25% of deaths—almost one in every four—in the United States. Heart [...]

Let’s cover just a few things that are on my mind today. Occupy Wall Street – Why are the Republicans worried or nervous about this movement? Why aren’t they more worried about corporate influence on our political system? One of the stories currently circulating is that this organic movement was really started by George Soros. There’s actually [...]

I was on Local Edge Radio yesterday. I chatted with Blake and Leslie. We discussed the death of Troy Davis. We have to fix this. We need a system that is fair for everyone. Our government shouldn’t be in the business of vengeance. We need to get into a position where the death penalty is [...]

I haven’t discussed women’s rights that much on this blog and for this I am sorry. Women’s rights should be important to everyone. If anybody’s liberty is in jeopardy, all of our liberties are in jeopardy. Currently, women’s rights are under a blistering assault by the GOP. Legislation both on the state and on the [...]

On Thursday I was on the radio with Blake and Lesley of Local Edge Radio. Now this was fun.

I was interviewed by Blake and Lesley on Local Edge Radio. We talked about how Robin Hood was not a Republican, labor arbitrage, corporate citizenship and much more. Enjoy.

For the last several months, I have been invited to be a guest on Local Edge Radio with Blake and Lesley. I’m on a Thursda’s at 4 pm (EST). This week – we discussed how we aren’t moving forward as a country. We get distracted by mosques at Ground Zero and some preacher thinking about [...]

Hey! It’s time for another show! I took a month off and there is a lot to talk about. Catch me tonight at 7 pm. This was a fun show. I hope that you enjoy it. If you have suggests about improving my show, please let me know.

We are happy to welcome from the popular blog, Jack and Jill Politics, Rikyrah. Join me this Friday for some [...]

After taking a two-week hiatus, I am back, rested and energized. As usual, I will review the week’s top stories. I’ll talk about Tiger Woods, Donovan McNabb, nuclear disarmament, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann and that terrible mining accident in West Virginia. My special guest is Meteor Blades of The Daily Kos. Join me at 3 [...]

Listen to Errington Thompson on Blog Talk Radio Today at 5 pm EST, I’ll have Heidi Shierholz from the Economic Policy Institute. I will also have Andy Coates from Physicians for a National Healthcare Program. This is going to be a GREAT show. Now, this is truly Progressive Radio.

Now, this is progressive radio. Enjoy.

I thought I was current with my shows. I’m not sure why I thought that. I’m never current. Hope for Haiti raises $57 million for Haiti. Military contractor DynCorp has lost millions in Iraq. James O’Keefe was arrested for trying to wiretap Mary Landrieu. This is really crazy. We have never gotten the real story [...]

I’ll be on BlogTalkRadio at 5 pm today. Give me a listen. I really appreciate it.

Errington starts the show by congratulating Aaron on his new full-time gig with Local Edge Radio, Monday through Friday 3 to 6 and then hits upon a few topical insights, starting with a private citizen’s billboard on Highway 1 in Wisconsin which suggests brazenly that we “impeach Obama.” The lawyer for this guy says it’s only [...]
