Air Americans,

Thank you for bringing Sam Seder back to afternoons on WCPT 820AM! Sam is: 1) Smart, and 2) Funny.

I'm not sure what else Air America might be looking for...

Please keep Sammy in the afternoons!

Here's to the rising stars of AAR - Sam Seder and Rachel Maddow!!!!

Sam Seder is the only host who can get me to listen to this rather than Randi Rhodes. It's really almost as simple as that. ("Almost" because, I don't know, maybe if Janeane had the slot I'd listen. But Sam is the surest bet.)

Seder is better than ever today.
I want a metaphorical cookie also because I knew it was a goofy spoof too.
Sam has been working on his speech patterns; it is extremely noticeable that his speech flow is smoother than ever which makes his ideas clearer than ever. Congratulations Sam. It's so much easier to listen to your program now. Keep up the the good work.
It is odd that the federal government can prosecute anyone for perjury when it is paying ex-general officers to lie to the public. Talk about perverse!

on their "Air America" station in the 3-6 time slot, isntead of Sam Seder. They still have Air America on the channel ticker. Isn't that some kind of fraud? I write them a 'listener feedback' question about it but have not heard back.

I was ready to call AirAmerica and ask WTFU.

Even before her recent break from Air America, I would much rather hear Sam Seder, and I told them so.

Bring Sam back everyday........he has had the best shows since Randi left.

The world needs more Seder!

Believe it!

I am still deciding if I should renew my premium membership. I would do it in a snap if Sam were on 5 days a week. Lose Lionel, I listened to him every day until a month ago when I realized he wasn't getting any better, I never really liked him and I was tired of listening to him be such an a-hole. Sam is a class act, smart, funny, insightful, please do AAR and your listens a favor and give him a M-F slot somewhere on your schedule.

I listened to Sam's show while I was there and just now have time to post to AAR. I really would like to have Sam get this slot each day, before Rachel's show!!

I will be back tomorrow!

Dear AAR: Give Sam Seder a show 5 days a week. Dear MSNBC: Give Rachel her own SHOW on the TV Machine. Thanks for your kind attention to these details. ~ me

Progressive radio without Sam Seder is not worth listening to !
Oh, and Sammy is hardly a "guest host" - isn't that title a
little insulting when Sam has years of experience with AAR -
unlike the previous weeks' guest hosts who were mere dilettantes?
Please give Sam Seder a five-days-per-week show.
Thank you, from a long-time AAR listener.

about time sam is the best host in all of progressive radiodom! make him the permanent host or i cancel my on demand!! Sam rules!!!!!!!!!!!

please remember you are a radio station. Not a celebrity vaudeville. The fill in hosts for randy rhodes the last couple of weeks have been quite painful to listen to, the most atrocious being roseanne barr, with her quacky voice and gossipy tone - but the whole idea of a celebrity carousel is truly offensive. These people may be celebrity in something or other, but none of them were good at radio

Now with Sam Seder you have a true radio professional - one of the best - a gem that frankly sometimes I wonder may even be too good for air america, but hey, if you give him a daily slot I'll listen, I'll renew the membership I cancelled when you cancelled one after the other all my favorite shows breaking my heart over and over again each time(MorningSedition,Mike Malloy, the majority report, too many sorrows to even want to dwell on them)

Looking forward to the next few days of Sam! I hope against hope that somehow AirAmericaRadio will make the right choice and give Sam the platform he deserves: a solid three hours daily!

Sam Seder is the best Air America has - it is beyond understanding that this is not obvious to the station management. Please, please, please give Sam the Monday to Friday in the 3-6 timeslot. The other "guest hosts" have been abysmal. I haven't been able to listen to any of them for longer than 5 minutes. People don't tune in for celebrity, they turn in for great radio and Sam Seder is great radio.

Sam said on Sunday that his Sunday show is only on the air for a few more weeks - if Air America doesn't act NOW, I have a feeling Nova-M is going to be getting one more top show - Sam Seder - to add to its roster.

Air America Radio, give your listeners what we're clamoring for: Sam Seder FIVE DAYS A WEEK! While I don't have inside knowledge, I'm willing to bet that there has been more feedback in Sam's favor than for any of the other hosts you've put in the 3 - 6 p.m. timeslot.

Sam was on fire today. It amazes me how he can sound so upbeat when he is treated so shabbily by AAR's management. Sam is a special talent who teaches through his humor. He's also gracious and never mean-spirited. With Sam, AAR would never have to worry about the FCC coming after him or some other group being up in arms about something Sam said.

Even though I've never met Sam and have never spoken to him, I feel like he is a friend of mine. The way he engages his audience and takes the time to reply to instant messages from his fans, goes above and beyond any other talk radio host. Sam has a way of drawing you into the show and becoming a part of it, just as Marc Maron and Mark Riley did on "Morning Sedition."

Please, please, please give Sam Seder that slot. He's been loyal to AAR and this is the time to show that you appreciate that loyalty.

What a surprise. I could actually listen to AAR today. Your "guest" host is more appropriately titled a network anchor. Consider this, we are in an election year and AAR is choosing, by relegating Sam to guest hosting, to not deliver progressive or liberal views to its audience in a 5 day a week format. Maybe that is exactly what the Green strategy has been. Though I have said it before, I will say it again. Put Sam Seder on 5 days a week. For information and news desperately needed, nobody else comes close.
Listen, I love Maron, but you need both these guys to have a successful network.
After all, it's already after 8, once Olbermann is over it's time for Mike Malloy on Nova M.

I left work early today to start my commute. Great substantive interview with Phillipe Sands. Hilarious satire about the Pentagon propaganda office. Yesterday, caught up with the blogosphere with Sam's panel. No one is doing this on the radio. I've listened to them all, and none of them get these diverse voices on their show.
Add my vote for regular Seder!

Sam is the best host on AAR and he should be given a weekday show.

Give Sam Seder a 5 Day aweek Show ! AAR Do something right for a change..

And,get Maron back on AAR Anyway you can, too !

Without Sam on board for the run-up to the Elections All of us will be losing a Valuable and Knowledgeable Radio source !

Without Marc on board you have No Funny,No Rants,No Soul..

Jeebus,Please Do Something right AAR ! !
Listen To Your Listeners ! !

Thank you..I hope..

Boy, last week was a little rough. I had to delete American Afternoon for a few days. Thank goodness we get someone who understands the AAR listeners are as well informed as the hosts. I am looking forward to the podcast.

Sam Sedar has turned into one of the most interesting and well informed talk show hosts. Iffy in the early dats if AAR but has grown and learned to have a smooth, informative show with good interviewing skills, Maybe he has too much talent now for a regular show on AAR.

Put Sam on five days a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All times Eastern
6AM - 9 AM Bring back Belzer, Rosanne, Joy and everybody else until you settle on something that works. What happened with the Young Turks?
9AM - NOON Thom Hartmann - a good serious show that makes a good alternative to Stephanie Miller's silliness
NOON - 3 PM Sam Seder - This guy is everything Air America promised to be when you launched in '04. A good, funny, intelligent, sane alternative to Rush and Ed.
3 PM - 6 PM Lionel. You're never going to outdo Randi at what she does, so go with something very different.
6 PM - 9 PM Rachel Maddow. One of the most important voices on the radio who without a doubt will have a long and successful career. Don't lose her.
9 PM - MIDNIGHT Marc Maron. His LA show was really getting good when the plug got pulled. He's very different from Malloy and could do quite well building an early evening audience on the West Coast.
MIDNIGHT - 3 AM Jon Elliott. Once again, a good guy for the West Coast.
3 AM - 6 AM Rebroadcast - your choice.

You're welcome.

Please don't lose Sam Seder. You have a lot of listeners who really love
him.

I'm confident enough about Sam to just recommend that Air America check the ratings when he's on. I'm sure that will tell you all you need to know. Sam Seder is intelligent, funny and just what America, and Air America, needs in the afternoon.

I want Sammy on 5 days a week more than anything... however, leave Maron alone. He's not an idiot or anything, but he conveys wryness much more than he does analytical and comedic commentary. He's like the Richard Lewis of political talk radio. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

If you put Sammy back on 5 days a week you can count on my podcast dollars.

Sam is the perfect host for this spot. However, I can't hear him because Randi Rhodes from Nova M is now being
broadcast on XM 167 in his place. HELP!

instant karma

Welcome back Sammy. Lets hope AAR management doesn't F#CK this one up.

Seder and Maron could save Air America. With Rachel appearing to be moving on to Television there's no reason anymore for me to listen to AAR.

If they got Seder and Maron back, I'd at least be listening for a few hours a day, every day, and it might inspire me to listen to other things on AAR.

I sure miss the old days when Maron had the morning show, Franken had middays, and Morning Sedition with Seder and Garofalo rounded up the nighttime. I'd listen to other shows in between those three and had AAR on almost constantly. Now? Only if I know Seder's going to be on - and/or Maron guest hosting.

I don't miss Randi on there, really. Or Malloy. I sure miss Maron and Seder, though.

I think it is so important to have Sam's voice on the radio, particularly in the ongoing election year. He is so informative as well as entertaining, a winning combination for radio. He is a far better fit than any of the other guest hosts. Please keep him on permanently M-F 3-6, or at least 6-9 am.

I canceled my Premium AAR membership because of Randi's suspension. However, I would reconsider joining again, if Sam Seder and Marc Maron are given daily shows. They have proven their abilites, time and again, and deserve to be broadcast daily.

Thanks, AAR, for bringing Marc Maron back this week, and for putting Sam on more than Sunday, and I hope a regular daily time slot can be found for them either together (if they so choose) or on their own. I prefer them as a team, because I like their back and forth humor, but AAR seems to prefer solo hosts, so whatever it takes. Good luck Sam and Marc! And good luck to you too, AAR. I miss the days when your airwaves had humor and keen insight.

I gave AAR another month in honor of Sam being on this week to let AAR know he is their money maker. I do think Sam and Mark could do a great show together, but no matter what, Sam needs to be part of the solution. I am not real happy that AAR seems to be making them compete against each other, because they are both great and both deserve full time shows over the people they currently have on.

I get AAR premium for Sam's show only, and so I can podcast whoever he's filling in for. He's the best this network has - please put him in this slot permanently!

all day, every day. But we'll settle for this time slot.
