NEW YORK (AP) — CNN’s Chris Cuomo is adding a radio show to his television work.
The prime-time host will start his own two-hour radio show next Monday at noon on SiriusXM. The company said Wednesday that Cuomo’s weekday show will air on its nonpartisan P.O.T.U.S. channel.
It’s expected to be a traditional radio talk show, where Cuomo will interact with listeners calling in. Sirius says it will give Cuomo a chance to explore other passions in his life beside politics, including family, fitness and fishing. Cuomo is the brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and son of the late New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.
With so many contentious issues, Cuomo says his philosophy is “don’t attack, argue.” The radio show won’t affect his CNN schedule.

Like if Lawfare added a gardening segment.

Life is good as the scion of a Queens attorney whose specialization in NIMBY Litigation on behalf of white ethnic groups in better off neighborhoods like Forest Hills and Kew Gardens got him into government.

Held this mostly honorary do nothing position, where he could burnish and polish his bare knuckle outer borough NIMBY image and begin making speeches invoking Pierre Theilhard de Chardin. Became a three term Governor whose hubris cost him an election loss to the charisma challenged George Elmer Pataki. But he was a fair to middling shortstop prospect for the Pittsburgh Pirates…
