After 4 plus years, this Sunday's Seder on Sundays very well may be my last regular appearance on the Air America Radio schedule. I've been told that I am one of those being considered for the 3-6pm slot but, frankly, particularly in this economy, I'd advise you not to place a bet on it.

Anyway, I will remain and am very appreciative to AAR for letting me continue as the online editor for AirAmerica.com. We are building an important online component to progressive talk. That said,  I am confident this will not be the last opportunity for you to hear/watch me on political talk. 

I am proud of my work over the past four years, I started out as a pretty bad broadcaster but think I 've certainly become mediocre! Whether on the Majority Report, the SamSederShow or Seder On Sundays, my ratings have always been an improvement of the show that I have replaced or better than those that have replaced mine.

Some moments I am particularly proud of.. 

On the Majority Report, we gave now Senator Jim Webb his first national exposure when he was still a primary candidate during our Fighting Dem series we did with DailyKos.

I gave Ned Lamont his first national exposure before he declared for Senate in CT and he ultimately first "unofficially" declared his run with me on a Friday when I was filling in for Randi.

The time I got the right wing caller Dewey to cop to having some "feminization issues". 

My long talks with the disputed Senator of Florida Katherine Harriss. 

Just last month in the 3-6p slot, in interviewing Phillipe Sands, author of torture team, I played some exclusive audio of John McCain for him which he then went on to cite in Congressional testimony. 

I've had a great opportunity to interview folks like Eddie Vedder to Ricky Gervais to Desmond Tutu to Gore Vidal to Howard Zinn to Sen. Russ Fiengold to Robert Altman to Fran Liebowitz, Triumph, Lawrence Lessig and on and on and on (and of course, Peaches). 

Geek alert..Believe it or not, some of my biggest thrills were having the opportunity to meet bloggers I had read before starting doing radio--  

It was and remains a real honor to have been part of launching air america and institutionalizing commercial left talk radio.

Finally, thank you folks  for the tremendous support you have shown me through the years. I have an unfortunate habit of being outspoken about things that don't behoove me professionally and I suspect I would have been gone long ago without you folks watching my back.
