This week on RadioNation: our year in review. It’s the best
segments and most compelling interviews from 2008. JoAnn Wypijewski from
Ohio on the eve of the “white working class primary;” Victor Navasky on
what media got it the most wrong on Iraq; Arthur Danto on the state of
modern art; Naomi Klein from July predicting what happened in September;
and John Nichols and Sarah Goldberg report from Alaska on Sarah Palin.

Also a programming note this week, as we’re transitioning
RadioNation. RadioNation with Laura Flanders as of next
week becomes GRIT Radio with Laura Flanders, produced in
conjunction with her television program, GRIT TV. The program will be
faster paced and still feature Nation guests, but include more
roundtable discussions and debates. If you are signed up for the RSS
feed your feed will not change. The program will still appear weekly in
this space as well until mid-2009, when The Nation will introduce
a new series of podcasts and audio. For more visit GRIT TV.

Time is running out to have your gift matched 

In this time of unrelenting, often unprecedented cruelty and lawlessness, I’m grateful for Nation readers like you. 

So many of you have taken to the streets, organized in your neighborhood and with your union, and showed up at the ballot box to vote for progressive candidates. You’re proving that it is possible—to paraphrase the legendary Patti Smith—to redeem the work of the fools running our government.

And as we head into 2026, I promise that The Nation will fight like never before for justice, humanity, and dignity in these United States. 

At a time when most news organizations are either cutting budgets or cozying up to Trump by bringing in right-wing propagandists, The Nation’s writers, editors, copy editors, fact-checkers, and illustrators confront head-on the administration’s deadly abuses of power, blatant corruption, and deconstruction of both government and civil society. 

We couldn’t do this crucial work without you.

Through the end of the year, a generous donor is matching all donations to The Nation’s independent journalism up to $75,000. But the end of the year is now only days away. 

Time is running out to have your gift doubled. Don’t wait—donate now to ensure that our newsroom has the full $150,000 to start the new year. 

Another world really is possible. Together, we can and will win it!

Love and Solidarity,

John Nichols
