The host

Ben Wikler was the founding producer of The Al Franken Show on Air America Radio and worked closely with Franken on his #1 bestsellers Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right and The Truth (With Jokes). He worked with MoveOn.org during the 2008 presidential campaign, and was a contributing writer for The Onion. As Campaign Director at Avaaz.org, he helped build the organization into the largest global online advocacy group, with more than 10 million members funding a professional staff of 60. He has also worked for Senators Sherrod Brown and Russ Feingold and for Arianna Huffington and Jeffrey Sachs.

“Ben reminds me of myself when I was his age, except smarter, wiser, more worldly, better read, more passionate, much much taller, and just as funny.”  — Al Franken

The show
The Flaming Sword of Justice, with Ben Wikler is a new, topical, progressive talk radio program of politics, activism, and satire. Featuring interviews with leading politicians, high-profile campaigners, celebrated media figures, and cutting-edge comedians, mixed with Wikler’s unique blend of humor, insight, and infectious enthusiasm, The Flaming Sword of Justice is radio’s Colbert Report–except the host isn’t pretending to be right-wing. Sword brings listeners inside the fight for America’s future, giving them a behind-the-slingshot view of the David vs. Goliath battles for the heart of our country and the world — from the fight for Internet freedom to the 99%-vs-1% showdowns on Capitol Hill.
