AlterNet Radio: Have We Reached Peak Wingnut After Sandy Hook?; Abortion Rights on Roe's 40th Birthday; the Bizarre Saga of Manti Teʻo

News & Politics

Great show this week, as Tracy Weitz, a medical sociologist at UC Berkeley, joins us to discuss the right to choose 40 years after Roe v Wade.


Then, Oliver Willis of the Daily Banter and our own Joshua Holland ponder whether the extreme right could possibly become even more unhinged than it has been since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary school.

If you're in Washington, DC, you can tune into the show at 4 pm EST at 1480 AM. If you're anywhere else, you can stream it live at  We Act Radio, and if you miss it, check back later for a podcast.
