Just a quick final reminder of the Calitics Show. You can stream it live on the Radio show home page or listen to a podcast there or at iTunes.

Assembly member Lloyd Levine and former Assembly member Fran Pavley will join us to talk about a number of California policy issues. I figure they might also mention the fact that they are both running for SD-23 as well.

I'm really proud of the growth and improvement of the Calitics Show. I like to think that the podcast is becoming an exciting new medium for some good Calitics content. We've interviewed candidates and elected officials from across the state, and covered some of the major issues and races in the state.

This Monday, we have another exciting show. We will have both candidates for SD-23 Assembly member Lloyd Levine and former Assembly member Fran Pavley LIVE! We want to use this as a chance to discuss important policy issues facing the state, such as our worsening budget situation, the challenges facing our environment, the energy crisis and whatever issues they or YOU care to bring up.  We'll have time for just a few callers. The number is available at the Calitics Show Page. Also, if you have questions, feel free to leave them as comments to this post.

As has become our custom for the last few weeks, we are going to have yet another Calitics radio show today at 3:30. We have taped interviews from Rick Gonzales, the final interview from AD-80, and from AD-10 candidate Alyson Huber. I quite enjoyed the chance to talk to both of these outstanding candidates.

So, check out the Calitics Show today...or later via the podcast here or at iTunes.

Yesterday, I sat down for a discussion with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to discuss his take on some of the issues that he's dealing with right now.  When I sat down with him at his desk.

You can hear the discussion right now on BlogTalkRadio, or you can catch the podcast.

I think our podcast of the 80th AD went exceedingly well. The mayor of Coachella, Eduardo Garcia, called in to talk about job creation and  related topics. And we took a few calls throughout the show to talk about issues in the race.

Here are the websites for the four candidates:

Rick Gonzales.

Dr. Richard Guttierez

Manuel Perez

Greg Pettis.

We've been doing the podcasts for a while now, and I think we're going to try to establish some consistency in when we do these things live.  Our goal is to stick with the 3:30 on Monday time slot.  You can even call in to the show to talk to David Dayen and myself when we do these things. Our Call-in # is (718) 664-9561. Here's our channel where you can listen to our archive and get show information for all of our shows.  You can also subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.

This Monday, we'll be having an episode discussing the 80th AD race, a district stretching from Palm Springs down to the border in Riverside and Imperial Counties.  We'll be talking to a couple of candidates, Manuel Perez and, hopefully, Rick Gonzales. We've not yet heard from Greg Pettis, but we'd be happy to get him on the show too. So, check it out live on Monday, or at any time via the podcast.

We haven't done a Calitics show in quite a while, but we haven't forgotten about it. On Monday, we will have a show at 7:30, featuring myself and David Dayen, and, hopefully, some special guests. We'll update if and when guests are confirmed. We're also going to try to get in a song or two from the Grateful Dead show in San Francisco, but we're still working on the technology aspect of that. We'll be talking about the presidential race, and, if you care to join us, you can call in at (718) 664-9561.
