We had politics from both side of the aisle, fashion and film last night on The Agenda with Joe Solmonese.

Starting off, we welcomed New York Magazine’s John Heilemann. An astute political observer, he gave us an update on the latest ad wars as well as previewed his latest article on the new, sought-after demographic “Wal-Mart Moms.” Download parts one and two or listen:

Taking a break from politics, we welcomed Chris Muther of the Boston Globe who’s back fresh from New York Fashion Week. Certainly one of Joe’s favorite topics, we discussed what the runways held in store for next Spring’s collection. Download parts one and two or listen:

Getting back to the rough and tumble of this political season, Republican author Dick Rosenbaum was our guest. The former New York State Republican Chairman and gubernatorial candidate helped explain the appeal of Sarah Palin to party loyalists as well as how he thinks GLBT issues will factor in the race. He’s also the author of “No Room for Democracy: The Triumph of Ego over Common Sense.” Download or listen:
