Blue Jersey Radio - 2009 Year in Review

by: Jeff Gardner

Tue Dec 29, 2009 at 02:00:00 PM EST



Holy cow! Blue Jersey Radio is alive and kicking almost 3 years since its debut, and guess what?: It's still really fun to do! We get to interview great guests, we can say anything we want, and we even let our callers have their say (sometimes). But every so often, we get to take a week off, and just listen back to some of our favorite shows. And this year had no shortage of fun ones.

Like we did back in 2007 and 2008, we invite you again to have a listen back to this year's Blue Jersey Radio Year in Review:

The Big Fish

This year, we had the opportunity to sit down for an extended interview with Governor Corzine, to talk about the campaign, the issues important to him, and the achievements he hoped to share with New Jersey voters. We also were joined on more than one show by our dear friend, Senator Loretta Weinberg.

Some of New Jersey's Most Inspiring Activists and Leaders

We sat down with prominent leaders and activists in the state, who have played an important role in fighting to make New Jersey a more open and inclusive place to call home.

Progressive Challengers

And we heard from the brave souls who stood up to challenge incumbents even in New Jersey's toughest races, earning them an "A" on the political participation scoreboard.

And, this is just a sampling of some of the year's best memories. Most of all, we had lots of fun this year, and hope you did too. After last week's wrap-up show, we're grabbing some R and R tonight. Thanks everybody, and Happy New Year!

We'll be back in 2010!

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  

What a fun year (4.00 / 1)
And I always love the year in review posts you do Jeff.  We look forward to talking with everyone in 2010.

I just subscribed to the podcast (4.00 / 1)
and plan on listening to some of these episodes.  I've always wanted to call in but never was able to due to having a class when the show's on.   Plan on me calling a few shows in 2010.

Good work guys, keep it up

The fellas didn't mention it, but today's cool factoid is that Blue Jersey Radio is consistently rated in the top 10 most popular progressive political shows in the country on Blog Talk Radio.

Just sayin'.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
