Progressive radio, for the most part, has been a failure. We either admit that the USA public isn't buying what we're selling (which I don't think is the case based on the fact that Democrats and progressives do get5 elected to office) or we admit that we've had the wrong format/people in place.

Complaining about the fact that right-wing radio is effective in getting its message out doesn't really get us anywhere. Why don't we create some actual competition?
