Air America

Air America is a liberal radio show that is aired online. The radio hosts usually choose controversial topics and generally aren't afraid to speak what's on their minds regarding politics. Some subjects push the boundaries of what is valid or appropriate, but nonetheless, Air America is attracting listeners.

You can actually access Air America any time of the day or night through iTunes. Simply click on "Radio" on the left hand side bar, go to "Talk/Spoken Word" at the bottom and choose "Air America" to start listening immediately.

I think that Air America is innovative. It's a shame that those with more conservative leanings don't have a comparable online radio show. I think it would be very interesting to hear the hosts of Air America duel it out with live, Republican guests.

I hope that in the future, politicians choose to utilize this facet of the Web to communicate with voters. Online radio is an effective way to reach all demographics and educate them about your campaign. With the ability to access the interviews and commentary at any point in time, voters would be able to take the elections more into their own hands and be more proactive about their choices.
