Podcast Description
Citizen Radio is hosted by Allison Kilkenny (The Nation and Huffington Post), and Jamie Kilstein (Comedy Central, The Onion, The BBC) and is dedicated to covering the stories that the mainstream, corporate media ignores. It's like Democracy Now but with much more swearing. They have interviewed such distinct intellectuals, bands, and comics such as Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Tariq Ali, Howard Zinn, Matt Taibbi, Jeremy Scahill, The Thermals, Robin Williams, Matt Besser, Janeane Garofalo, Johann Hari, Melissa Harris-Lacewell and more. They have also been the recipient of batshit crazy threatening letters by the hate group God Hates F*gs. Good stuff. “Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny have created an important political radio show that balances humor and unreported news. At a time when media conglomerates dominate the airwaves, independent media like Citizen Radio is vital to national discourse” - Noam Chomsky “Jamie reminds me of why I got into comedy. It’s like watching a combination of George Carlin and Bill Hicks ” - Janeane Garofalo “Allison Kilkenny’s writing makes me want to vomit” - G. Gordon Liddy, Convicted Watergate criminal “In a corporate media that cares more about Carrie Prejean than preemptive war, Citizen Radio covers the issues that really matter” - Lizz Winstead, Co-creator of The Daily Show

Customer Reviews
If Dick Cheney can use the F-word, so can we!
The problem with most liberal media figures is that they are either too timid to be effective, too ill-informed to be effective, or have no sense of humor. Luckily, we have Allison Kilkenny and Jamie Kilstien, the Brooklyn 20-somethings who bring us Citizen Radio three times a week. These guys are angry enough, smart enough and funny enough to make up for Keith Olbermann, Phil Donahue and the rest of the liberal crew.
Jamie combines the manic rant comedy of Dennis Leary with the irreverent, kamikaze activism of Lenny Bruce. Allison is a younger, tattooed, vegan Elizabeth Warren. Without the other, each would be hard to listen to for an hour, but together . . . Allison is the Diane Keaton to Jamie's Woody Allen. He is the Harpo to her Chico.
Her acerbic wit perfectly compliments his sophomoric insanity, but the really cool thing is that they're honestly nice people. They are married, they don't drink or do drugs, and promote healthy eating and personal responsibility. (If only we had more republican Senators like that!)
Citizen Radio is the anti-Sarah Palin. Liberals are usually tolerant and patient with her: once in a while, though, don't you feel like just choking her? CR is for progressives who are tired of playing nice. If Dick Cheney can drop the F-bomb, why can't we?
Many liberals will be turned off by the swearing. There is also no traditional, liberal new-age-y, I'm OK-you're OK, Kum-bah-ya singing sensibility. If that's you, stick with NPR.
If, however, you are a committed progressive, disappointed with Obama, but with your eyes on the prize, subscribe and enjoy!
A movement disguised as a podcast
If you want to hear all the news that slips through the crack this is the place to go. Jamie and Allison make the the jagged pill of reality go down smoother with a heavy dose if offbeat comedy and inspirational calls to action. They may be crude at times (who isn't when they're being themselves anyway?), but the show packs a powerful message and they may just be the thing that saves this generation from consumerist apathetic douchebag hipster despair.
Repetitive and boring
Alison picks up stories from the mainstream media, reads it, Jamie throws in some jokes and some swear words, then they complain about the mainstream media and everyone else in the nation. There will be some breaks where Jamie does impersonations but they all sound the same and are painful to listen to.
They often have great guests on the show but the guests are often gushed over by a couple fanboys that the interview is akin to a Fox News interview where Hannity is gushing over Sarah Palin.
Jamie and Alison live in a bubble which they use to look down upon everyone who doesn't fit inside it. If you're a person who loves liberal snobbery then the show is for you, if you're a liberal who wants to be informed then you'll have to look somewhere else. Try the Young Turks for better news and commentary.
