Keith is back with a new daily podcast...

https://omny.fm/shows/countdown-with-keith-olbermann/episode-1-countdown-with-keith-olbermann-8-1-22

IT'S ALIVE! The premiere episode of Countdown With Keith Olbermann steals from a) all his other programs b) Beethoven and Bach and c) Peter Finch as Howard Beale in the film "Network" - only with Olber-Beale screaming "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take Trump any more! Searing political commentary in Segment One, the news of the day and the Worst Persons In The World in Segment Two including the passing of basketball immortal Bill Russell AND the story of the man who spent years impersonating him. Then in "Things I Promised Not To Tell" in the final segment, the whole history of the Countdown franchise and what really happened at MSNBC all those years ago. Welcome and enjoy: we're starting off with a super-sized premiere edition! Good night and good luck!

I've missed his voice and unique perspective.

Last week's podcasts were so fun-
Today's should be a real hoot!

with "The Resistance" then after that when he would tape shows from his NYC apt during Covid. He is such a treasure! His love of dogs is also a big plus.
