Armando and I are here in Charlotte today for Day Two of our special coverage of the 2012 Democratic National Convention. Here's how you can follow along and get a flavor for the goings-on.
Part 1: The Regular Stuff, but from Charlotte
First up, we will attempt to overcome the distance and logistics to bring you an abbreviated morning kick-off Daily Kos Radio's Kagro in the Morning show, from 9-10 a.m. ET, featuring Greg Dworkin in his regular slot, but with his always extraordinary commentary and analysis.
Hear today's shows from 9-12 am ET, right here:The Daily Kos Radio Player

Part 2: The EXCITING, NEW stuff: On SiriusXM!
Then from 12-2 p.m. ET, catch us on Daily Kos Radio LIVE on the SiriusXM Convention Radio channel. That's channel 123 on Sirius, and channel 142 on XM. We'll also air at the same time on SiriusXM Internet Radio on SiriusXM Left Plus, channel 853.
You can even listen in online with a FREE trial. Listen on your iPhone, iPad or iPod, or your Android-y thing.
Got a comment? Want in on the action? You can call the SiriusXM listener line at: 888-971-0896.
And if you miss our SiriusXM shows, they'll repeat later in the day, from 4-6 p.m. ET on Tuesday and Wednesday, but on Thursday, just our second hour will repeat, from 5-6 p.m.
Next, if all goes well, we're also aiming to bring you a bonus evening hour of Daily Kos Radio broadcasting at 5 p.m. ET, for more discussion and a preview of the upcoming speeches. We've had some trouble with the robustness of the WiFi signal, and we were unable to bring you a smooth enough transmission yesterday evening in order to make the show listenable and enjoyable. But we're told that they'll be working to tweak the tech at our workspace tomorrow, and we'll perhaps give it another crack. But happily, our 9 a.m. show seemed to go smoothly, and we plan to bring you that again. And if we can swing it, we'll extend into the 10 o'clock hour as well. Just like old times! (Last week.)
Other Ways to Listen to Daily Kos Radio (our 9 a.m. & 5 p.m. shows):
Your options to listen LIVE:
- Click on the embedded Flash player below
- Go to netrootsradio.com and click on the embedded player or direct link there

And here's a new tip: If the player hiccups in between shows, or drops the audio between the shows, just go ahead and stop and restart it, and things should go smoothly after that.
And if you miss the show, or just can't listen live, you'll find podcasts on the
Daily Kos Radio group page. Plus, they're
downloadable via RSS, or find them on demand at
Stitcher.com. And I'll make it even easier on you: here's yesterday's show. Remember that the "Kagro in the Morning" show is now available via
Stitcher.com, meaning you can download their free app on your desktop or on your mobile device, and listen to our podcasts on demand. You'd be doing us a big favor it you'd download their app on your phone, search for the show, "favorite" it and help us take over the world.
And if you like what you're hearing, take advantage of our easy-to-use RSS feed, which enables you to download podcasts automatically, directly to iTunes. And if you'll forgive me the begging, please Like us on Facebook! (I'm so, so sorry!)
All aboard for Day Two!
