The Young Turks = The Best Liberal Talk Radio

The Young Turks:

http://theyoungturks.com/

They have 3+ hours per weekday of talk radio: 1 "pre-hour"; 1 hour on Sirius; 1 post-hour; 1/2 hour "after-show"

Their show loops 24 hours a day online at the above URL, and is available on podcast via subscription.

They are actually an internet TV show as well, where they show the MediaMatters and other videos posted on the Liberal blogs as well as at Wonkette. They interview lots of the same people interviewed by other Progressives, and some off-the wall people.

Their shows airs live 7-10 PM Eastern Time. They are based in L.A.

The head Young Turk, Cenk, was contending heavily for the "liberal" slot on MSNBC, against Sam Seder and others.

The Young Turks used to include co-hosts Ben Mankowitz and Jill Pike, but it is basically only Cenk now. It's better that way, because Cenk is very good, but does not like to share the microphone a lot. Sorry!
