On this episode of the Radio Facts Podcast we talk to two industry vets about working in today's music industry. Jay Salter is a producer as well as a DJ who has a current hit in the often exclusive EDM world with singer Dominque and another version featuring Make it Last Forever's Jacci Mcghee. They both talk about adapting to today's industry but at the same time remembering the lessons they learned early on. I'm sure you will enjoy this podcast.Kevin

This Radio Facts podcast talks about the often ignored mental illnesses in the Black community. 
Terrie Williams owns one of the biggest and most respected agencies in the country, The Terrie Williams Agency. She is also a best selling author (click the link to buy her most recent book Black Pain) and she speaks at colleges and major corporations about mental health. She is a Mental Health Advocate and studied as a LCSW. 
We start off talking about the recent viral video of the woman who tossed her newborn baby across the floor and why the father of the baby decided to film the video. Then we talk about various types of mental illness and Terrie even discusses her own bouts of depression and how black boys are deeply affected by PTSD. 

In This Episode of the Radio Facts Radio Show...  we talked to Coco Brother who is back after the hiatus of nearly two years as hip hop’s spiritual radio personality – CoCo Brother. His brainchild this time out is Radio Condrey, his own syndication company, with the first show – “CoCo Brother Live: The Weekend” and he's accomplished quite a bit since his time off.   But what made him walk feom such a successful show 2 years ago? He has a very interesting story to tellon this episode of the Radio Facts Radio Show podcast. Enjoy

How can you market your skills to get the attention of major corporations, your boss or even a potential client? How do you broker great deals and ensure long term income and work on a great retirement for yourself? We are honored this week to have as a guest the man who has brokered blockbuster deals for superstar entertainment Mogul Steve Harvey. Harvey’s seemingly meteoric climb up the ladder to success was based on true talent a great plan and surrounding himself with the right people.

Those in the music industry are very much aware of Rushion’s McDonalds position as the man who has brokered major deals for Steve Harvey including his first major radio agreement with Radio One in Los Angeles, Steve’s current deal with Premiere/IHeartmedia for the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning show. Rushion also brokered deals for Steve’s best selling books Act Like a Lady, Think Like a man, Straight Talk No Chaser,  he is responsible for brokering the deals for the hit movies based on the books. He helped to negotiate the deal with Family Feud and many more deals along with Attorney Ricky Anderson when Steve and Rushion decided to become business partners over 20 years ago. In this podcast Rushion gives great advice and points out many mistakes people make in the process of attempting to reach their goals as well as his best advice to avoid pitfalls. I greatly hope that you walk away from this great segment of The Radio Facts Radio Show more equipped for success. We’re featuring one of the most respected men in the industry, the multi talented, creative brand liason and broker Rushion McDonald.

In this GREAT episode we cover a lot of ground. We talk about Billboard’s charts, the letter on Raprehab.com The biggest mistakes artists make. Black ownership/White Leadership. Shut up and do something etc. Hear our personal conversation about the industry.

In this brand new episode we admit last week's episode sucked (lol) and we kick it up a notch discussing everything from the hypocrisy surrounding white on black crime vs black and black crime. We talk about urban radio abandoning the community by killing news, we talk about what types of people we fear when walking down the street. We also talk about the continued disconnect of young black people to black history in this great episode of The Radio Fact Radio Show.
