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.

Be part of 160 years of confronting power 


Every day,
The Nation exposes the administration’s unchecked and reckless abuses of power through clear-eyed, uncompromising independent journalism—the kind of journalism that holds the powerful to account and helps build alternatives to the world we live in now. 

We have just the right people to confront this moment. Speaking on Democracy Now!, Nation DC Bureau chief Chris Lehmann translated the complex terms of the budget bill into the plain truth, describing it as “the single largest upward redistribution of wealth effectuated by any piece of legislation in our history.” In the pages of the June print issue and on The Nation Podcast, Jacob Silverman dove deep into how crypto has captured American campaign finance, revealing that it was the top donor in the 2024 elections as an industry and won nearly every race it supported.

This is all in addition to The Nation’s exceptional coverage of matters of war and peace, the courts, reproductive justice, climate, immigration, healthcare, and much more.

Our 160-year history of sounding the alarm on presidential overreach and the persecution of dissent has prepared us for this moment. 2025 marks a new chapter in this history, and we need you to be part of it.

We’re aiming to raise $20,000 during our June Fundraising Campaign to fund our change-making reporting and analysis. Stand for bold, independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,
