Meet Our Mascot
If you listen to the show then you know that we (and by “we” I mean “me”) have a healthy respect (and by “respect” I mean “monkey on my back”) for the one-two late-night TV punch that is The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
If you watch Stephen Colbert then you know that he (and by “he” I mean “he”) has a healthy obsession with himself. He refers to the little eagle chick that the San Francisco zoo named after him as “my son, Stephen, Jr.;” he rallied his Colbert Nation to vote online as many times as it took to win the contest to name a new bridge in Hungary after him (”carpel tunnel is a small price to pay”); and he suggested that the Saginaw Spirit hockey team in Saginaw, MI christen their new mini-mascot, an eagle, a Colbert-related name.
Although he hasn’t lobbied Liberadio(!) we thought we would create a one-of-a-kind mascot that merges the things that we, and he, love the most - eagles, puppies, and of course, Stephen Colbert.
Please help us welcome the Liberadio(!) mascot to his new home. Ladies and gentlemen, The Colbeagle…
