Ledger Live for August 24, 2011 - Ledger Live with Brian Donohue. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has become famous for a pugnacious style. But those closely following the governor have noticed a more cuddly image being projected over the past few months. His public appearances have shifted away from town halls and in favor of more feel-good photo-ops. He's turning down chances to take a verbal swing at opponents and expressing his huggableness. On today's show, host Brian Donohue and Star-Ledger editorial page editor Tom Moran discuss the change in tone and whether the governor is just in a good mood or are there poll numbers driving the shift?

Ledger Live for August 11, 2011 - Ledger Live with Brian Donohue. As MTV crews pack up the set of the reality show "Jersey Shore" in Seaside Heights, the circus nonetheless goes on. Fans, including one woman fresh from the London riots, says she's bummed they won't get to smush with the Situation. Locals say they're happy to see the knuckleheads go. Parents - apparently believing the cast's public urination, fornication, intoxication, etc. make suitable role model behavior for their kids - proudly snap photos of their young daughters in front of the set. As the trucks pull out, self-respecting Garden State residents can only hope they won't come back, and that our long New Jersey nightmare may finally be over.

Ledger Live for July 1, 2011 - Ledger Live with Brian Donohue. On today's show, Star-Ledger columnist and author Mark Di Ionno discuss how New Jersey's rich Revolutionary War history is often overshadowed by other states that do a better job of protecting, celebrating, and promoting their heritage. Donohue and Di Ionno visit sites along the route from Elizabeth to Springfield where American and British forces fought in 1790, with Di Ionno asserting the area could have been akin to tourist destinations like Valley Forge or Boston's Freedom Trail - if only its legacy had been better cared for.

Ledger Live for Tuesday May 10th, 2011 - Ledger Live with Brian Donohue. On today's show: An unorganized fringe Christian movement says they have pinpointed the date of Judgment Day as May 21, 2011. Led by California radio preacher Harold Camping they are attempting to spread the word through billboards, radio and the internet. New Jersey believers say they know they are ostracized by society and, in many cases, their own families. But they say they are certain the world is coming to an end, pointing to a series of numerical references in the bible they say warn of the second coming of Jesus.
