Mixing pop culture and politics has always been what she has tried to do. Nothing new here, and I used to listen to her all the time when she first started her show. I quit listening because there is too much “soft” material and opinion and not enough facts. Oh, and she’s always pushing us to buy the music she happens to play, etc., through her links.
I always enjoyed her forays into culture and the arts. This has been one of her strongpoints, and when she teams with Raymond Arroyo it really gets lively. That is when her show is the most compelling to me, when the synergy between those two gets going.
