Shawn is a long-time national media producer and radio talent who's one of the few producers in U.S. political media to have worked on the left, right, and center, including more than a decade with "The Randi Rhodes Show" and stints producing "The Stephanie Miller Show," "The Bill Press Show," "The Laura Ingraham Radio Show," and "The Steele & Ungar Show" for SiriusXM. The show airs weeknights on progressive radio affiliates nationwide and is available on-demand through podcast platforms and Substack subscription.
