The Thom Hartmann Radio & TV Program
In addition to writing the Hartmann Report, Thom broadcasts a live three-hour radio and TV program every weekday, starting at noon ET.
The program is available on multiple outlets, including the Substack app via THOM.TV, YouTube, X, Facebook, Free Speech TV, SiriusXM, Sling, Hula, Apple TV, and FM and AM radio stations across the US.
