Pics From Netroots Nation

Hey everyone,
Steve Stearns, the official photographer for the Accountants of Homeland Security, was also an official photographer for Netroots Nation in Las Vegas last week, and as a result, he snapped a great batch of photos from both my show and my satire panel. Check ‘em out!

Netroots Nation: Laughing Liberally Comedy Hour

Netroots Nation: Satire And Progressive Politics Panel

It was awesome to get to perform and do a panel with what amounted to an all star team of liberal and progressive comics. Lizz Winstead, Jamie Kilstein, Lee Camp, Baratunde Thurston, Katie Halper, Elon James White, Andy Cobb… Doesn’t get much more awesome than that.

The lineup is a virtual All Star Team of progressive comics.

Jamie Kilstein, Lee Camp, Baratunde Thurston, Katie Halper, Andy Cobb, Elon James White and just added… Lizz Winstead, co-creator of the Daily Show! (Lizz will also be appearing on my “Satire And Progressive Politics” panel.)

If you’re in Vegas… Go!

Appearing At Netroots Nation In Las Vegas July 22-24

Hey everyone,

In case you haven’t heard, I will be at Netroots Nation in Las Vegas, Nevada July 22nd through 24th.

Netroots Nation is the world’s largest yearly convention of liberal bloggers, activists and politicians.

This year, I am running a panel entitled “Satire and Progressive Politics” with a great group of comics on Saturday the 24th.

We have the awesome Lee Camp, Sara Benicasa, Elon James White, and Andy Cobb.

It should be an awesome panel.  Hope to see you there!

Matthew Filipowicz’s Ring of Fire Interview With Rick Perlstein

Hey everyone,

Exciting news!  This last week on Ring of Fire, I went from interview-ee to interviewer, as I interviewed Rick Perlstein.

For those who are unfamiliar, Rick is a historian and the New York Times Best Selling Author of Nixonland and Before The Storm.

We discuss a talk Rick recently gave at Vanderbilt University entitled “Why Barack Obama Cannot Be A Transformational President”, where Rick compared Obama to transformational progressive Presidents such as FDR and LBJ.

In addition to the Perlstein interview, this week I also ran down the news in the first hour with David Bender.  We talk the primary results, Specter, Lincoln, Rand Paul, BP, and the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan.  Fun stuff.  Both clips are now up on my AUDIO page.

Go, listen, enjoy.

-Matt
