The Norman Goldman Show is taking off at lightening speed. Americans starving for intellectually honest discourse feast upon its host. Check ideology at the door for this fiery exchange.
The Show for the Fiercely Independent
Norm tells his listeners in his inaugural broadcast September 8, 2009 “I hear all these words thrown around- liberal, conservative, fascist, socialism, and I have come to the conclusion that these words don’t mean anything. Nobody knows what a liberal is, no one knows what a conservative is. In fact, I will lay this proposition down in front of you, I believe that there are people out there who will swear on a stack of bibles that they are conservatives. I am going to prove to you and to them, that they are actually big government liberals; as big a government liberal as anything they have accused me or anyone else of.”
Goldman continues. “Conversely, there are people out there who think they are liberals that are really quite moderate, and in some ways even conservative. These words, socialism, fascism; nobody knows what they mean. They throw them around like cuss words; only to incite or to inflame. And so this radio show is best described by the two phrases we have chosen: ‘where justice is served,’ and “It’s not about left or right, it’s about right or wrong.” These are the views here because it’s about fairness, it’s about doing the right thing.”
The Story of Norman Goldman
Norman Maurice Goldman grew up New York City in the '60s and '70s. He was the youngest of three boys who lost their parents to early deaths before he was twelve. New York orphanages then became home. “The food was not good, but edible; the clothes were not good but wearable; the medical and dental care were minimally acceptable,” he tells Suite 101.
Various governmental agencies made it possible for Norm to graduate from Hunter College of The City University of New York with a B.A. in Political Science. He then graduated with honors from the Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. By the age of 26, he successfully passed the California Bar Exam on the first attempt.
The support received to be able to have completed such rigorous education shaped Goldman’s life opinion of government and the positive role it can play in the lives of everyday people when administered correctly. “Government should provide a hand up, not a hand out!”
Making Use of the Airwaves
The show promises to make constructive use of the radio airwaves. Goldman says a primary purpose of the show would be to talk about waste fraud and abuse in both the government and in private industry. In the second hour of his sixth show he asks his listeners, “can we merge both the right and the left?” This has been manifested as montages for mirroring divergent views, postcard campaigns for change, and even law school for education.
Norman Goldman spent most of his career practicing law in the State of California. Goldman has served as both legal analyst and occasional fill in host for the Ed Schultz nationally syndicated radio talk show and TV show on MSNBC.
Norm founded Pro Radio Productions, L.L.C. in Los Angeles to produce and distribute his own nationwide talk radio show which launched September 8 of 2009. Podcasts available at the Norman Goldman site.
