Start Me Up: Vivicca A. Whitsett

Hosted by blogger and author Kimberley A. Johnson.&#39;Start Me Up&#39; isn&#39;t just any other podcast. I&#39;m willing to call BS when I see it and I don&#39;t care if it&#39;s coming from a rightwinger or a self-professed bleedingheart liberal. I&#39;m not always politically correct and I&#39;m a huge fan of loose talk and salty language. Sarcasm is guaranteed and political correctness will be at a minimum. This podcast is for anyone who wants to listen to compelling conversations with a variety of guests about current events and controversial topics.
