Sierra Club Radio Launched in December, 2006, the half-hour program is broadcast on San Francisco Bay Area's Air America affiliate, 960 AM The Quake. The show is hosted by Orli Cotel, known for her nationally syndicated radio column on Air America. Produced by Sierra Club staff, the program will feature lifestyle tips and in-depth conversations with a wide range of environmental experts and activists, artists, and authors. Sierra Club Radio provides us the ability to tell our stories, highlight our issues, and share our expertise and advice directly, unfiltered by the media. You can subscribe to the podcast here.

Columbus says farewell to Air America  Environmentalists have lost the only progressive radio station in Columbus. In January, 2007, Clear Channel changed the content of WTPG, 1230 AM, all the way from progressive to far right. Their justification for this change is weak. Local residents have responded by founding Ohio Majority Radio, an organization dedicated to restoring balance on the air, returning our public airwaves to the control of the public, and returning Air America to Columbus.
