Carl Wolfson is the host of The KPOJ Morning Show, which airs weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m. on AM 620 KPOJ, Portland, Oregon's progressive talk station.

The show, produced by Paul Pimentel and co-hosted by Christine Alexander, features an in-depth analysis of the day's events, breaking stories and interviews with local and national newsmakers.

With humorous banter and fun segments such as "Weasel of the Week" and "Ridiculous Republican Rhetoric," Carl, Christine and Paul have vaulted the show to a consistent position at or near the top of the morning ratings.

Each day, Carl draws on his longtime comedy career and a master's degree in political science to provide illuminating interviews with the likes of Helen Thomas, Ralph Nader, Maya Angelou, Madeleine Albright, Alan Greenspan, Paul Krugman, Ken Burns, John Dean, Jim Hightower and Tim Robbins.

Hosts, guests and callers mix it up on subjects great and small - from polar caps to wiretaps, oligarchy to Glenn Beck's malarkey.
