The Northern Alliance Radio Network will be on the air today, with our eight-hour-long broadcast schedule starting at 9 am CT. If you’re in the Twin Cities, you can hear us on AM 1280 The Patriot, or on the station’s Internet stream if you’re outside of the broadcast area.

• David Strom and Margaret Martin start us off with The David Strom Show, 9-11 am
• The First Team: Power Line’s John Hinderaker and Chad and Brian from Fraters Libertas, 11-1
• The Headliners: Mitch Berg and Ed Morrissey, 1-3 with live streaming video and chat
• The Final Word: King Banaian, 3-5.

Today, I’m out at a Marriage Encounter weekend, so there will be no live video stream of today’s show. However, Mitch has a few surprises in store for you. First, Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson will co-host in my place. Mitch also has Rep. Michele Bachmann as a guest, as well as Ed “Doc” Peppin of the original E Company, from which the book and the miniseries “Band of Brothers” came. (I mistook the dates from last week.) Be sure to enjoy the chat room, and call 651-289-4488 to join the conversation!

Mitch and I now live-stream our show from 1-3 pm CT on Ustream, complete with live chat! Be sure to register for free at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.)
