Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams live with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls. And each year, we get to take a week off, and just listen back to some of our favorite shows.
So, like we did back in 2007 and 2008, and 2009, we invite you again to sit back, relax, and "click on the pix" to have a listen back to some of this year's Blue Jersey Radio Year in Review:
Congressmen
In such a tumultuous year, we were privileged to hear directly from a number of our representatives in Congress, including first-time guest Rep. Donald Payne, and returning guests, our dear friends, Rep. Frank Pallone and Rep. Rush Holt, all three of whom will be returning to Congress in January. (By contrast, Rep. John Adler didn't manage to squeeze us in this election year, and he won't be going back. Coincidence?)

NJ Legislators and Mayors
We also had the pleasure of being joined by state and local elected officials from around the state.
 Sen. Linda Greenstein, LD-14 (well, almost)  Asm. Peter J. Barnes III, LD-18  Asm. John Wisniewski, LD-19  Haledon Mayor Domenick Stampone
Some of New Jersey's Most Inspiring Activists and Leaders
We spoke with leaders of a variety of influential, interesting and inspiring organizations working to make a positive impact around the state.
 Courage to Connect NJ's Gina Genovese  Unseat Sean Kean  Women's Health Matters NJ's Michele Jaker  NJ Policy Perspective's Deborah Howlett  Annabel Park, Coffee Party USA Founder
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.

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.

What can we say? Blue Jersey Radio is 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). And every so often, we get to glance - er, listen - back to the results. It has been a pretty awesome year.
We invite you to do the same, as we present Blue Jersey Radio's Year in Review:
National Figures
This year, we interviewed national democratic and grassroots leaders, an Oscar winner, and the founder of Republicans for Obama.
 Freeheld Director & Oscar winner Cynthia Wade  DSCC Deputy Comm. Director Hannah August  DFA Exec. Dir. Arshad Hasan  Republicans for Obama founder John Martin
NJ Elected Officials
We were joined by members of our congressional delegation - including our incoming freshman from South Jersey - as well as notable NJ legislators.
 Rep. Steve Rothman Rep. Frank Pallone  Rep. Rob Andrews  Rep.-elect John Adler  Asw. Pam Lampitt  Asw. Valerie Huttle
State Progressive Leaders
We sat down with prominent leaders and activists in the state, who have played an important role in making New Jersey among the most progressive states in the nation.
GSE Chair Steven Goldstein  Obama NJ Dir. Tricia Mueller  DCR Chair Frank Vespa-Papaleo  CWA Local President Carla Katz
Progressive Challengers
And we heard from the brave souls who stood up to challenge incumbents in races that began as longshots, but quickly inspired all of us to dream big.

It was our last show of the year AND our last show before the Iowa caucus throws the Presidential primary into the highest gear. If you missed this morning, fret not! Just click and enjoy!
While you listen, take a trip below the flip to recap Blue Jersey BlogTalkRadio's year-in-review montage. (Wow, we've had some awesome guests!)
Most importantly, we had lots of fun.
Thanks everybody, and Happy New Year!
We'll be back in 2008!
:-)
