Freedom thru Speech

With our first show of the new year, we plan to work on a game plan for success for 2010. First, let’s continue our discussion on single women looking for Mr. Right - is it really an epidemic or is it just sexy marketing? Certified life coach and matchmaker Paul Brunson of onedegreefrom.me will be on hand to help us with this hot potato as will always intelligent blogger Tracy Renee Jones from mebeinganonymous.blogspot.com and tracyreneejones.com. It’s 2010, and African Americans excelling in every field, however, the images and representations of our community in the media remain negative. Where to point the finger? Or should we just look in the mirror? We also cannot forget that our co-host Michele Grant just published her first book, Heard It All Before, which hit book stores January 1st. We'll take the time to discuss her new book. Max Reddick and RiPPa are on the mic as well. So all we really need now is you… Tune in and speak up because on Freedom Through Speech Radio… the floor is yours.

If you missed last week's show, don't make that mistake again because this show promises to be red hot and just in time for Christmas. This episode we will be discussing HCR (or the lack thereof), Senator Lieberman, the president's falling poll numbers, and we also take a look forward to the 2010/2012 elections.

Also, the Washington Post article "Successful, black, and lonely" has caused quite a stir around the blogosphere this week, and we think it deserves to be discussed in depth. Seattle Slim of happynappyhead.com, tracyreneejones of tracyreneejones.com, and CareyCarey of Carey Me Home will be on hand as guest hosts to lend their unique perspectives.

So, log on, listen in, and above all, let your voice be heard because the most important voice in this conversation is your voice.

This week’s topic: Choices. Listen in as Max, Michele and Rip discuss the question of the day – Is it just us or are people making some character-defining choices these days? Tiger Woods’ choice to cheat and cover it up, Barack Obama’s decision to escalate in Afghanistan and the unfortunate series of choices that ended Maurice Clemmons’ life. Call in and share your opinion as we cover this and anything else that comes to mind. Raise your voice and be heard on a show with no rules, all exceptions… Freedom through Speech Radio.

Please tamp down your expectations. This is our pilot episode (second try) just to see how this thing works and get a feel for the blog talk radio medium. But feel free to listen in and please do phone in and become a part of the conversation. We welcome your feedback.
