Huffington/Matalin discuss how the shunned VP found his voice “in the crack of a gunshot” that day in Dallas. What can Obama learn from a “political genius” like LBJ who unified the country on rights but divided it over war? We hear agreement that there’s never been such a mixed legacy. Then they clash over Obama’s (gay) marriage vow but agree on Romney’s high school daze about bullying.

“Let’s create new talk shows and blogs in which liberals and conservatives interrogate one another’s views...it
would be a useful antidote to the current cable and blog ghettoes, where you can go years without hearing the
other side make its case.” — “Washington is Broken,” Time Magazine cover, March 1, 2010
Both Sides Now is a views-on-the-news weekend radio show that exchanges ideas, not insults. It covers both sides so listeners decide for themselves. You'll hear from Arianna Huffington, CEO of the AOL-Huffington Post Media Group, and Mary Matalin, CNN contributor and former top aide in the Bush-Cheney White House. Sitting in for Arianna occasionally will be Ron Reagan and Eliot Spitzer. Hosted by Mark Green.

BOTH SIDES NOW- MAY 5th, 2012
Using James Fallows’s Atlantic cover as our lens, Reagan & Conway differ on whether 44 has proven a chess-master or a pawn. What matters more with Bin Laden – the raid or an ad? (Dizzy Dean: “It ain’t bragging if you done it.”) Then, an outspoken advocate escapes house detention… which describes both Mr. Chen in China and gay activist Richard Grenell in the Romney campaign. Also: Walker’s recall next month in Wisconsin and Murdoch possibly under oath in America.

BOTH SIDES NOW- APRIL 21st, 2012
Reagan and Matalin continue the conversation about The Righteous Mind by describing where their own biases come from. Can Skins-Shirts ever listen...yes if they trust the "other", like, say, Ronald Reagan and James Carville. They debate Ryan& Buffett and conflicting presidential polls -- not much mind-changing there. Then Ron and Mary agree on John Edwards as a low-life but not a criminal and on tatoos as body art.
