Hosts

Allison Kilkenny is a social critic and former columnist for The Huffington Post. Kilkenny is best known for her contributions to political and humor websites like The Huffington Post, Talking Points Memo, 23/6, The Beast, CounterPunch, The Nation, and Alternet.org.[6]

Move to independent status

On Friday 24 September 2010, Citizen Radio announced that they would be leaving the online radio station that had hosted them since the show's start (Breakthru Radio) to go independent starting the following Monday.[8]

Citizen Radio followed the announcement by revealing a new membership model that rewards individuals and companies who provide financial support with community status, bonus content, and sponsorship messages during the podcast for the highest level of supporters.[9] Though the show relied on memberships and donations, the regular episodes of the podcast remain free to download regardless of membership status. The stated intention of the membership model is to provide financial support for the continued existence of the podcast and spur expansion to more days and richer content.
