You asked for it, so we are now on Friday mornings too! On Fridays, we open the phones to take your calls, and I end the week with a musical gem from my archives. Today, it was the first Los Angeles radio appearance by the Dave Matthews Band from early 1995 at KSCA.

Nicole discusses the Edward Snowden interview and other news with comedian John Fugelsang. She's History's Amy Simon told us about Forbes' 10th Annual list of the Most Powerful Women in the world, and Mary Rickles of Netroots Nation with a preview of this summer's gathering in Detroit.

Nicole talks more about the wake of the Santa Barbara massacre, and the wonderful twitter response with #YesAllWomen. Maysoon Zayid and @GottaLaff guest. Plus, Nicole talks about her problems with Ed Schultz.

It's Memorial Day and, unfortunately, instead of talking about those lost in battle, we're talking about civilian victims of our gun epidemic. Cliff Schecter joins in. Plus Howie Klein with the weekly Steve Israel Hour, sponsored by Little Debbie.

We don't usually do shows on Fridays, but we're thinking of changing that. Today, Nicole brings some interviews she recorded this month, but hasn't aired yet - including Senator Bernie Sanders, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Tim Fischer on how he turned their gun laws around, and Melissa Etheridge in a conversation from last week, and a interview/performance from 2003!
