About the Show

Here and Now is a weekly one-hour talk show that airs from eleven to noon on Wednesday. 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 he books guests, he does so with the aim of finding informed, articulate people who’ll complement—rather than talk over—each other.

Upcoming Show

Here and Now: Arizona Ballot Propositions

It's enough to make you say 'ENOUGH!' Arizona's 8 ballot initiatives aren't as many as a couple years ago, but wading through all the campaign literature to find out what a ballot measure really does can be maddening.

To make it easy for you, KJZZ's Here and Now gives you the info you need to know to better understand what the initiatives are, who's backing them, and what a 'yes' or 'no' vote really means. Propositions like prop 102--defining marriage as only between a man and women--is pretty cut and dry. But others aren't, such as prop 200's pay day loan reform and prop 202's amending of Arizona's employer sanctions law.

We may tell you what you need to know, but that doesn't mean we have all the answers, or questions. So tell us what you think and what questions you have about Arizona's ballot propositions.
