In this episode of VentNation Diora speaks with two music artists who call in to vent about their challenges with becoming successful in the music business. One feels left behind and the other feels that his homosexuality hinders him. Diora reads a heart felt letter submitted by a venter who is frustrated with the lazy, ungrateful kids of today. A mother vents to Diora about her challenges raising a child with ADHD. Diora takes us back to the 80s when the Party Line was popular. 

VentNation is the latest podcast series produced by Sally b. available at Blog Talk Radio, iTunes and SingingFlat.com. This is a VocalzMusic & Publishing production starring a new show host out of the DC area, Diora. The consept of VentNation is to invite guests on the show to Vent about whatever is troubling them and then take it to the "Party Line" for feed back from callers who want to weigh in. VentNation will cover a variety of topics in the future; some which are sensitive and controversial subject matters (not for kids). Topics range from cases of being homophobic, to cheating husbands and wives to trying to make it in the music biz, to losing faith.

Shanice will answer questions like... Does she sing her OWN songs at Karaoke clubs? Hilarious response!! Is R&b Music DEAD? Will there be a 3rd Season of her hit show on OWN "Flex & Shanice"? Would she consider developing and managing a talented music artist? Why did she once refer to herself and her husband Flex as "broke celebrities"? Who are some of the hottest producers to work with right now?...And one of my favorite parts of this interview is hearing her happily ever after love story about how she met and fell in love with her husband, actor & comedian, FLEX.
