The Zero Hour

“The Zero Hour” is a weekly, nationally syndicated progressive radio program that combines news and analysis with in-depth interviews on topics that include politics, pop culture, futurism, high-tech, and music. The show has featured activists, journalists and elected officials such as Sens. Bernie Sanders, Jeff Merkley, Sherrod Brown, and Tammy Baldwin and Reps. Pramila Jayapal, Ro Khanna, and John Larson. Regular guests include economist Richard Wolff, journalist Max Blumenthal, author Thomas Frank, and writer/publisher Nathan J. Robinson.

Why is it called “The Zero Hour”? Because humanity is at a turning point and must act now. From economic inequality to the future of evolution, from spiritual upheaval to endless war, from the fate of democracy to the survival of the planet itself — this is The Zero Hour. “The Zero Hour” practices advocacy journalism, which means it expresses opinions but is committed to getting the facts right.
