Stitcher Radio on Smartphone features progressive talkers

If you live in a radio wasteland like San Diego, there is a way to get your fix of progressive talk via your smartphone for free. Check out Stitcher radio -- it has streaming podcasts, radio shows and news from Stephanie Miller, Mike Malloy, and Bill Press radio shows and audio from the Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann shows and much more. I was able to easily play Stitcher radio on my Blackberry Tour and Stitcher is available for the iphone and other smartphone models. You can listen on a computer and Stitcher gives advice for listening to your smartphone through your car's radio speakers. It has a list of radio stations nationwide where you can listen to live broadcasts via Stitcher. V.C. (as in Very Cool but also as in Venture Capital, as Stitcher has venture capital behind it so maybe there's a chance it will be successful. Now if we could get our local San Diego radio greats Stacy Taylor and Jon Elliott on Stitcher, then it would be extra V.C.

The interview was for the forthcoming film "Save KLSD", which I am working on with Jon Monday of MondayMedia.
