Talk Radio, recently nominated by the Outer Critics Circle, Drama League and Drama Desk for Outstanding Revival of a Play, will continue its acclaimed and controversial series of post-show talkbacks when Air America's Rachel Maddow appears onstage at the Longacre Theater along with members of the cast following the 8pm show on May 9th.

Rachel Maddow has been with Air America since its inception in Spring 2004, broadcasting every evening 6pm to 8pm. She also makes irregular appearances on MSNBC, CNN, LOGO, and other TV outlets. Before Air America Radio she worked for WRNX in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and WRSI in Northampton, Massachusetts. There was also a stint with a jungle-themed company called Expresso Bongo, but she doesn't want to talk about it.
