Talk Nation Radio

Talk Nation Radio is a 29-minute show, with a new episode released every Wednesday at TalkNationRadio.org and available free to any station. The host, David Swanson, interviews guests — usually one per show, occasionally two — on a wide range of topics but with a particular focus on peace, justice, and political action. Guests have included authors, artists, activists, and elected officials. The length of the interviews allows some in-depth exploration of topics often under-reported elsewhere. All past shows are available on the website.

Talk Nation Radio is syndicated by Pacifica Network and is free to any station or website.  Please ask your local stations to air it.  There’s a new 29-minute show here every Wednesday.
