The NORML Network - 4:20 / 24 / 7 / 365 Coast to Coast to Coast

We’ve gotten a lot of great feedback on our new 24/7 NORML Network.  People really seem to enjoy hearing pro-marijuana voices from all around the country.

We had planned to run California Marijuana Report tonight.  However, it won’t be until next week that the first episode for the network will be ready.  So for this evening, I’m running one of the new podcasts that has applied for the network.  It’s Lanny Swerdlow’s show on KCAA AM in Loma Linda, California and it’s called “Marijuana Compassion and Common Sense”.

Next week, Eric Brenner and the California Marijuana Report will be back on Tuesday nights at 8pm Pacific and Lanny Swerdlow’s show will move to its planned Tuesday at 3pm Pacific slot.

We’re also adding another East Coast podcast.  Keith Saunders will have us replaying his show out of Boston.

We’ve got three more spots to fill to have another weekday hour of new marijuana podcasts.  We’re particularly looking for overseas, Midwestern, and Canadian podcasts.  Have the producers contact us at stash@norml.org if they are interested.
