Daily Kos Radio is on the air!*

Daily Kos Radio is on the air, Monday through Friday, now from 9 a.m. to noon, ET. We start with two hours of the Kagro in the Morning show from 9-11, and then it's The Ministry of Truth, with Armando Llorens, starring Jesse LaGreca from 11-12.

*Only, guess what? This week we're on hiatus, which is a fancy way of saying we're not working! We're running encore presentations, which is a fancy way of saying re-runs.

Why? Well, for me, I'm recovering from an old radio injury. Plus, all my regular guests are on vacation or otherwise engaged this week. And finally, summer camp starts at 9:00 a.m. this week, which means I'm out driving the kids at showtime. So it seemed like all the planets were aligned.

We've got some work to do behind the scenes, and we're looking forward to our return to the non-air next week with some improvements. We're working towards a better podcasting system and player (utilizing HTML5, not Flash, so our mobile users will have an easier time of it), which will in turn facilitate our distribution on Stitcher, so let's all get ready for that!

In the meantime, enjoy some of the programming you may have missed. Bring a friend! We'll be back next week.

How to Listen

Your options to listen LIVE:

• Click on the embedded Flash player below
• Go to netrootsradio.com and click on the embedded player or direct link there
• Click on this direct link if you need a non-Flash player, say, for iPad or iPhone
• iPad and iPhone users can download the SHOUTCast Radio app for your mobile device & search for "Blue Skies Radio." That's the Netroots Radio home base, and it's where you'll find our Daily Kos Radio programming. You might also try "Netroots Radio," since it appears we're transitioning to try and make things less confusing
• For Android: try either the "StreamFurious"  or "TuneIn" apps
  
• BlackBerry users, see this guide by idbecrazyif

And here's a new tip: If the player hiccups in between shows, or drops the audio between the shows, just go ahead and stop and restart it, and things should go smoothly after that.

What have you been missing if you haven't heard Daily Kos Radio? Well, some of the good stuff went like this:

Reminder: Congress is out of session this week, and in fact for all of August. So let's all get together on Daily Kos Radio and talk about them behind their backs!
