The Nicole Sandler Show is broadcast live weekdays 5-6pm Eastern at nicolesandler.com, featuring interviews with newsmakers and commentary about the news of the day.

It's Friday! After Nicole deals with the unfortunate news that US participation in the war in Afghanistan will not end during the Obama administration, we get on with the business of segueing into the weekend. Julianna Forlano brings the laughs. For our Flashback Friday segment, Nicole digs into her music radio archives for Ben Folds Fives' first LA radio appearance, 20 years ago this week, on 10-18-95!
