Since Blue Jersey Radio debuted four months ago, we've been streaming LIVE every Saturday morning at 10:30 with Trenton's latest buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your calls. We've had some great guests, some insightful analysis, some big laughs, and a whole lot of fun. And we're looking forward to even more fun as the fall campaign season kicks off here in New Jersey, and as the presidential campaign gets into high gear ahead of our February primary.

So, this long Labor Day weekend, Jay and I wanted to thank all our listeners, callers, and friends with a look back at some of our favorite shows:

Soon after being named Northeast Co-Chair of the Barack Obama campaign, Rep. Steve Rothman joined us for a bit of presidential politicking. A seasoned radio pro, the good Congressman knew how to stump for his candidate - complete with contact information.

The Congressman was a great guest and a pleasure to have on the show. Enjoy:

In town for a summit of local Democracy for America leaders from around the state, DFA Chair Jim Dean joined us for a chat about DFA campaigns here and around the country.

A veteran of one of Blue Jersey's earliest podcasts, Jim gave us some insight about grassroots victories elsewhere, and how we can duplicate those successes here:

We went on the road for the first time to stream LIVE from the NJ Democratic State Committee's Women's Campaign Training at Rider College, where the DSC's own Mary Campbell talked about getting women to "step up" and run for office - women like 21st District State Senate candidate Gina Genovese, who sat down with us to lay out her mission to defeat her opponent, Tom Kean Jr.:

Sometimes the best shows emerge when you least expect it. With no guests scheduled, and Jeff in California, Jay decided it was time for us to have some fun with self-absorbed radio.

So, in an already crazy segment threatening to spiral out of control, we were thrilled when Number 17 joined us for a round of banter on Extreme Makeover New Jersey home edition, NJ Pagan Pride, and chicken blood. One of our funniest shows:

Of course, these are just a few of our favorite shows. All our shows can be found anytime on our BlogTalkRadio page. And, as we love to remind you each week, you can download each new show to your iPod, just by subscribing (for free of course) here:
