Sam Deserves his own show. He represents me and my politics. We need more Sam Seder on the Airwaves.

What have you go to lose? You have everything to gain. Sam is a true professional that knows the facts before he opens his mouth. He is a class act and a "virtual" friend to the fans that are loyal to him and AAR. Do yourself and this country a favor and give Sam the slot.

Thanks.

SAM SEDER--for the open afternoon OR morning OR BOTH spots!!! Just listen to his programs! Just listen to his book programs! Wow--I learn so much from him! Please--I need to feel loyal to AAR again, before this horrible ugly election season becomes even UGLIER!!!

Please put Sam on the air daily, he's GREAT! So knowledgeable and funny. He does his homework, which is very important. As a result, he does great interviews w/book authors.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sam is, and has been, one of the best and most consistent hosts on AAR. Not sure what business model AAR thinks its following, but their current hosts are serious and dull. More of Sam is really, really essential. Can't believe they even elimated the Sunday slot. Not sure I'll be staying with AAR much longer if this keeps up.

Sam is really one of the best... he is an amazing talent whom I eagerly seek out and wish he were on a consistant basis... While I would love him on in any slot, he would be a great addition to the afternoon slot. Or, as AAR has already lost most stations in this time slot, what about a late night slot (there's nothing happening at all late night... or an early morning slot to spice things up... Bill Press is very boring and I never listen to him any more. I'd get up early for Sam!!! Someplace.... any place.... soon!!!11

Can we New York listeners get together and Demand that AAR get a new affiliate? I don't appreciate hearing on the internet that Tom Hartmann is broadcasting "Live from the flagship station in NYC" while on the radio I have to listen to Ed Shultz, who is actually 10 times better than the preceeding health talk for 3 hours.
What on earth is AAR thinking by alienating their NY audience?

I received a cheery e-mail from AAR telling me they're conducting their own "American Idol" auditions for the time slot, and so far we have had the joy of the following hosts etc etc plus Sam Seder and others are in the running. Worse than insulting to Sam and to ALL of us.

I just wrote in a comment in support of Sam, Rachel and Randi. In my comment I said that I would follow Rachel on the radio or the web where ever she ends up. Of course I meant to say that I would follow Randi.

Fred Friedman — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:29:08 -0000

I think Sam's Sunday show is a winner. During most of the mid week listening time, I focus on Hartmann and PBCollinswhen they are on. I like all the left partisans, though I feel that Randi doesn't need a megaphone. I abhor the jurisdictional squables. The lother liberal networks should not be drowned out.

Sam is among the best progressive hosts, in my opinion. Lionel and Randi as well talk TOO much and don't want to let knowledgeable guests or listeners say much. Sam and Rachel have valuable information to pass on to their listeners, but they also listen to the smart people they have on their shows and allow us to hear what they have to say- making for much more informative discourse, not just words. I learn from Sam and Randi (and Thom and Bobby and David), as opposed to having to endure a lot of bombast and verbiage from too many of the others. And that's why I listen to talk radio instead of music stations- because there's a lot going on that we need to be aware of to be informed citizens- I don't want to waste my time listening to egos with big opinions of themselves and little substance. With other hosts I end up waiting a little while for something interesting to be said, and more likely turning the channel in hopes of finding something being said that informs me- sometimes even turning to the inane right talk shows to hear how they're spinning the news (but I can take that only for a few minutes before I vomit a little in my mouth).

Hey AAR would you please go ahead and sign off the air and put all of us former listeners out of our misery. You're eventually going to file for bankruptcy like the rest of the owners. Hey Sam, go to NovaM radio they seem to have it all together.

Jerry — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:48:34 -0000

Please, please, oh please put Sam Seder on weekdays again!! He and Rachel are the only two AA hosts that put any prep time into their shows, and you can tell.

Cookie Rufino — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:32:54 -0000

PLEASE LET SAM SPEAK!!! I was so SURPRISED when not only Lionel, but Thom Hartmann and then RANDI WERE GONE FROM THE RADIO!!! I know that I can listen on the computer, but there is no computer in my car!!! PLEASE GIVE HIM A SHOW!!!

Thanks! Cookie Rufino

Yes...give Sam a chance! He's smart and to-the-point - I like him. And I think he's shown (so far) that he can employ GOOD language and not language of the gutter (as one has) to get his point across. Civility needs a boost and I think Sam can provide it.

I've listened to Sam for several years.He's got what it takes to take over the 3-6pm M-F time slot, hands down. First of all, the man is versatile. Hang any hat on him and you can be sure he will fit the bill. Creative, eloquent, witty, smart, civil,informed. Sam has an amazing guest list that continues to expand. I consider myself well informed, in part, due to listening to Sam. AAR should know by now what a treasure he is. Better hold tight! Get him while you can, AAR, before someone else scoops up this great talent! I look forward to the pleasure of witnessing him further evolve over the coming years. Big hug to you Sam!!!!!

Sam would be a credible replacement for Randi Rhodes who, by the way, you should have enticed to stay with Air America. You blew it big time by letting her go. You need to try to salvage the situation by giving Sam his own show.

Give Sam Sedar the show, for the love of God, let the boy be your dog!!! Seriously, Sam is the voice of the new generation of liberals/progressives, lets do this AAR!

it would fantastic to hear Sam on a daily show once again!

Kate Anne NYC — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:19:06 -0000

We need more Sam -- the Sunday gig is great but not enough, too much going on and so much to be done. We need Sam's humor, great guests, and insight. Daily would be wonderful -- Sam has the talent and a committed fan base. I am happy to add my signature to this petition and I am an Air American Premium member (3rd year). Thank you.

Sam is the best thing going on Air America. He has honed a radio talent that pokes through the armor to the heart. I wish he'd have Janeane on more often. The two of them are unmatched, unparalleled, like two unbalanced tires newly installed on the front of a DeSoto, they shake you up, point you now at this ditch, now at that one, turning a cruise to the corner store into a daredevil death ride. Janeane is one of the busiest talents in Hollywood, so she was gone a lot, and when she was on the air and Sam was gone, it was difficult. She demands so much of an audience. But I remember one time when Janeane was gone and Sam brought in the doorman from his apartment building as a co-host. And it worked. It was an amazing program, in fact. Then I realized that Sam was the true star of the program, directing from the background so that the whole thing came together. Air America has been very profligate with talent over the years, putting Chuck D on at eleven on sunday nights, exiling Flanders to God knows where (is she even on Air America anymore?), pissing off Lizz Winstead to the point where she sued, showing Mark Riley the door, brushing off Marc Moran as if he were nobody when he had one of the yeastiest shows on the entire dial. Throwing Marty Kaplan to the dogs. I could go on and on. Air America could be an incubator for great hosts. Instead, it seems to have no sense of what should be weeded out and what should be allowed to flower. Hint: the people who piss you off and are hardest to live with are the people you want on the air. They are the people listeners will listen to either because they love them or because they hate them, because there is no middle ground. Sam is virtually the last of this amazing talent pool left at Air America and I hope you will nurture him and let him grow into a regular daily, preferrably 3-6 pm, show. He was one of the few people who would fill in for Randi that I would continue to listen to. He is the voice of Air America. He's your soul, man. He's your heart and guts and your soul, too. Pin this guy to the mat. Put a pen in his hand. Force him to sign a contract.

Sam was one of the few people on the new Air America network when it started three years ago whose work I'd never seen before. He was a new kind of voice--not a radio voice then or now, but something new and ear-catching. I've enjoyed all of the things he's done on the air, even the cringe-inducing prank phone calls, and I've long thought he should have a daily show and he should not be relegated to an hour on the weekends. He's a major talent, well-read, plain spoken, liked by people across the broad spectrum of political beliefs and I hope you will give him a daily show. He is a good person for drive time, either in the morning or the afternoon--he cuts through the clutter with his unmodulated un-FM voice and his razor wit. I wish you hadn't pissed off Randi, but Sam is just as lovable and can be as acerbic. His tits aren't as big, though, and I hope you'll do something about that.
