Here and Now Main Page

Here and Now is a one-hour talk show that airs from eleven to noon on Wednesdays and Fridays. The program focuses on public policy and politics in Arizona, but regularly examines legal, social, medical, economic and environmental issues. The goal is to provide in-depth information and analysis without all the rhetoric you’ll often find on talk radio. Listeners also play an important role by calling in or posting questions and comments online. Here and Now is hosted by Steve Goldstein, who grew up in the valley and hosts All Things Considered weekday afternoons. Steve has a keen interest in state history and public policy which is reflected in the depth of research he does for each show and the quality of questions he asks guests. Goldstein was named Best Radio Talk Show Host by Phoenix New Times Best of 2008. Here and Now is produced by Paul Atkinson, who has covered public policy and politics in Arizona for more than a decade. Paul seeks a wide range of topics that help listeners better understand what’s going on and why. When booking guests, he does so with the aim of finding informed, articulate people who’ll complement—rather than talk over—each other.
The music we use at the beginning and end of the show was created by Tony Ganzer. The music we use going into our break was written and performed by Kevan Nymeyer
