Miller was also on-site on January 20, 2009 in Washington D.C. for the inauguration of President Barack Obama, with Miller providing running commentary and Frangela hosting in-studio from Los Angeles. In conjunction with this inauguration, on January 18, 2009, Miller, co-host Jim Ward, and Executive Producer Chris Lavoie, participated in "Obama Radio Nation", a live audience show celebrating Obama's inauguration, and the role of progressive radio in the 2008 elections. For Obama's second inauguration in 2013, the full show was broadcast from Washington D.C. In the past, the show also periodically broadcast from several affiliate cities, with Miller and Ward appearing in front of a live audience. During these remote broadcasts, audience questions and interactions took the place of phone calls.
