You say you can't get Sarasota's WSRQ on your radio? (As mentioned elsewhere in this story, WSRQ is the only station hereabouts that gets Air America programming — and only Jerry Springer at that.) Well, there are alternatives. That newfangled satellite radio contraption, for one: Air America is on XM channel 157. Or you can listen online: To hear The Al Franken Show, log on to airamericaradio.com/listen between noon and 3 p.m. You can't watch the show on The Sundance Channel at the moment — the TV program's second season just ended — but you can catch video highlights at sundancechannel.com/al. The show also has a podcast, which you can subscribe to through iTunes.
