I'm here today on this forum because of progressive radio. In 2005 I was introduced to Hartmann's radio program, which at the time was broadcast on am760 out of Denver, CO. I was a daily listener for many years. That station is no longer, for the precise reasons Thom cited in today's post. Though I no longer live in Colorado, I am saddened that other people won't have the same easy access to hopeful and well-reasoned messaging which challenges the loud and prolific waves of unproductive and often times hateful words of the now status quo.
