Truth About ActBlue & a Musical Diversion Too - Nicole Sandler Show 5-13-25

Welcome to Tuesday. I've had more than a few listeners ask me about ActBlue [https://actblue.com] in the wake of D'ump ordering the DoJ to investigate the online fundraising platform used by Democrats and progressive organizations. Today we'll check in with Josh Nelson, CEO of Civic Shout, [https://civicshout.com] an advertising platform for progressive causes, who'll set the record straight. Then, a break from news and politics for a musical diversion. I'm joined by Cary Baker, author of "Down on the Corner: Adventures in Busking & Street Music [https://bookshop.org/a/1630/9781916829107]," an old friendly acquaintence from my days in music radio.  He tells a lot of great stories about street musicians aka buskers that are fascinating and fun to hear.  I know it's not news and it's not politics, but that's a good thing because these breaks are a necessary diversion from the real (opposite) world  we're stuck in right now!
