Oscar, Oscar

Here’s looking at you – to tune into “Oscar, Oscar” every Monday Night at 10 PM CST. Your host, Jason O’Brien is the epitome of the term “Oscar Buzz.” But this host consists of more than just the latest gossip and the hottest new releases, he has a penchant for the oldies that make the silver screen so great.

On O’Brien’s personal website www.oscarworld.net, he even rates the “ten best films of the year” and lists his own personal choices if he “voted for the Oscars.” The top films of 2006 according to O’Brien? (1) “United 93,” (2) “The Departed,” (3) “Little Children,” (4) “Letters From Iwo Jima,” (5) “Dreamgirls,” (6) “Casino Royale,” (7) “The Queen,” (8) “World Trade Center,” (9) “Prairie Home Companion,” and (10) “Rocky Balboa.” If you find yourself nodding in agreement at some of the film, or if you find yourself strongly disagreeing, why not tune or call into O’Brien’s show and voice your own theatrical opinion?

O’Brien explains on his site that he simply has a passion for all that is Oscar. Why? For the simple love of the film industry. In his own words “The Academy Awards are the only awards show that are solely devoted to honoring the entire craft of filmmaking.” Carefully considering that statement leads any reader to believe that O’Brien is entirely correct. After all, how many costume designers or make up people are honored in any other awards shows? Additionally, O’Brien respects the ways in which the Oscars tend to look at the entire film crew – including the often largely ignored script writers. Sure, the world remembers Humphrey Bogart, but do they remember the writer that made his famous? O’Brien seems to take a realistic approach to the art of movie making, and his show is truly a reflection of the delicate move craft.

Entrepreneurs on the Move

What if all the entrepreneurs in the world got together and combined know-how, resources, and factual information? This is exactly the concept that “Entrepreneurs on the Move” is based upon, but this idea is about more than a radio show.

“Entrepreneurs on the Move” is actually a non-profit organization that consists of a board of directors and an executive director aimed at combining the entrepreneurial spirit. This corporation conducts seminars, workshops and community outreach programs. Additionally, the company aims at sharing proven concepts behind various marketing techniques, public speaking events, and personal business coaching. Their mission is to help out young entrepreneurs by providing lifestyle coaching and organized workshops based on tried and true tactics. Although the company is relatively young (founded 2007), the number of listeners that their show currently has seems to indicate a strong future.

Various radio show guests have included actor Sean Blakemore, producer Rob Murat, Miss New York, various comedians, and other successful business leaders. Your hosts Carla B., Ramona, and Theresa will teach you everything from how to handle a mortgage from how to start your own business. Each guest is highly questioned by these three self professed “divas.” Questions range from how to build up a complete portfolio, how to marketing yourself, how to successfully deal with business pitfalls, and how to use tools to “reshape your Life into a better tomorrow.” If you are just starting out in the business world, or if you have some valuable information to share tune in to “Entrepreneurs on the Move” every evening at 7 pm (Eastern Time).

DryerBuzz & Company Live

Have you ever wanted to create a buzz that could be heard all around the world? Well, Yolanda Lattimore (“Dryer”) can make it happen, and that’s what she does best --- “create the buzz behind the buzz.” If you tune in to DryerBuzz & Company Live, you will hear all about today’s news and gossip headlines, with a twist.

Yolanda has actually built a successful company upon the notion that the world needs to hear the right kind of news. That means that whatever sort of story Yolanda and her listeners find interesting, she will make it her business to widely circulate the gossip. The show’s name “DryerBuzz” actually came from a hair salon. Yolanda and her friends made it a habit of talking about current events whilst sitting underneath hair dryers, so they turned their heated debates into a newsletter which was circulated around the salon weekly. Customers so loved the newsletters that they eventually began asking Yolanda to distribute and publicize various stories and ideas; her talk radio show reflects this idea.

Yolanda discusses current events such as hot new books, sports news, celebrity news, and political news, but this talk show is mainly about having fun. She is also a strong supporter of African American businesses within Atlanta, and the African American community as a whole. If you have a news story, or a thought about a news story, you can visit Yolanda’s radio show every Monday night and voice your opinion. This is one radio show host that is not afraid to see any sort of position, no matter how outlandish it may seem. If you have a burning topic that you want to get out to the rest of the world, don’t wait. Tune into DryerBuzz & Company Live to join in the fun.

Lionus LIVE & Unleashed

Ok, I’ll admit, when I first happened upon this radio show I was intrigued by the show’s mascot (a big fuzzy dog), but when I started to read the show profile I became convinced that Lionus LIVE & Unleashed was worth a listen.

Lionus Lavida is a resident of Malibu, California, with a funny take on progressive politics. Lionus’ perspective on politics is “a seriously comedic examination of why ‘Mom, Apple Pie & Chevrolet’ are all packed in a box and on their way to the Museum of Remember when?” This seems to sum up the show to perfection. Lionus’ audience will hear current issues discussed, political leaders ridiculed, and the overall world of politics highly criticized.

Lionus has many connections throughout the political world, which makes his show particularly interesting to listen to. As he talks about personal conversations he has had with great political leaders and public figures, listeners will laugh along with him as he calls each target of his show by their first name, and proceeds to hold a monologue based no his findings.

This comedic session lasts one hour per week and is usually screen on Monday nights around 7 pm (West Coast time). Lionus welcomes callers that offer additional political commentary, or simply want to share a few laughs. Lionus also has a producer hidden somewhere in his studio, and her laughter can be heard throughout the show, which makes the show multi-dimensional and a roaring good time. Lionus has many listeners, and his “call-in” board tends to light up rather quickly, so if you want to get in on the political action tune in on time and start dialing when the show beings. If you can’t get enough of political commentary and you love to laugh at the entire political world as a whole, tune in to Lionus LIVE & Unleashed.

Diva Marketing Talks

Diva marketing host “Toby” is seeking to help the internet out one blog at a time. This talk show is all about ways in which to make your blog stand out, how to promote your company on the internet, and how to successfully market your product whatever it may be. Why would she want to do this? “To help organizations understand social media marketing and how to join the conversation without getting blown-up.” This is not an easy task for marketing newbies, and most types of consulting such as this will cost entrepreneurs a great deal of money, but Toby is giving out this advice for free.

Toby grew up in Boston, but moved to Atlanta during recent years. Her love and knowledge of marketing stems from her childhood when her father first piqued her interest. Toby’s dad ran a successful data collection company, which she immediately took an interest to. When the internet entered into Toby’s life around 1997, she could envision a way of marketing that was unlike any other. Her original intentions were to find a way to bring small town America back into the spotlight via the internet. Toby wanted to find the lost corner stores and small town candy shops of yesteryear somewhere in the land of the internet – she viewed the web as a sort of alternative universe, a place where the world could remember the idea behind small town values.

Today, not only is she a talk show host, but she has made her living as speaker of Social Media Marketing. She has worked with the American Marketing Association, the Olympic Organizing Committee and SCORE. Additionally, she has had numerous articles published in marketing magazines. Now she aims at finding a way “to share the cool things I stumble across that could make life easier and more fun for marketers in a casual, exciting, environment.” This is one of the reasons she began her radio show and her Diva Marketing Blog (www.bloombergmarketing.com). If you need a bit of advice, tune in to Toby’s show in order to hear the wisdom and years that his marketing genius is more than wiling to share.

Concept of Change

Jennifer Ehidiamen of Nigeria is taking a stand for all youth across the world, so if you fall into this category – or if you just want to hear some very intelligent thoughts surrounding youth culture – tune in to “Concept of Change.” This radio show is all about giving young people a voice. In order to best explain this show, Ehidiamen’s own words put the problem of youth into the best perspective “Is the syndrome of young people should be seen and not heard still in existence in this generation?” She brings up the very valid point that young people can offer new ideas and outlooks upon existing problems, and asks that adults are not so quick to judge.

Additionally, on Ehidiamen’s show you will take part in discussions such as “dress kulture,” “sounds of poetry,” ‘youths speakout,” and “Speak Out!” Each topic is aimed at opening up discussions amongst the younger generation throughout the world. Jennifer enjoys listeners from nearly every country on her show, and she has even created a blog that is chalk full of well thought out articles pertaining to current events and topics that deserve an international voice.

Jennifer is brining awareness to the AIDS problem along with many other political issues involving youths. Additionally, she has even written a book entitled “Youth Making Change,” which highlights some of her biggest concerns. This show is a great way to learn about the problems and encounters that youths face today, whether you want to take part in the discussion, or you just want to hear a different perspective tune in to Jennifer’s show and listen to the beat of a different drum.

After Life FM

Have you ever wondered about life after death? Does the supernatural intrigue you? How about giving the “After Life FM” show a try? Marcel Cairo brings validity to the all of the hype surrounding the after life. IN fact, he encourages readers to “put away your Ouija boards and hold on to your crystal balls.” This is one “spiritual outlaw” that attempts to connect callers with the beyond.

Marcel outlines his “three basic consciousness survival questions” as:

Does the mind exist separately from the brain?
Can consciousness survive once the brain has died?
Does postmortem consciousness communication exist and can it be personally verified?

Marcel answers affirmatively to all of these questions, but he goes on to point out that an individual belief is “subject to view point.” He also states that acting as a medium is a skill attained, not a gift – which is in contradiction to a lot of other psychic shows. He explains to his listeners that he has worked to perfect his craft, in order to act as a go-between. Marcel wants only to bring communication between the spirit world and the tangible world, but he is against any sort of “new age platitudes about love and light.”

His shows are based upon a relatively simple format. Marcel waits for a caller to contact him, he then proceeds to act as a messenger. However, Marcel tends to mix things up a bit with a slight edge of humor surrounding each call, which is overly refreshing. He states that sometimes the spirit world puts him in a bit of an uncomfortable situation by asking him to pose questions that may not be appropriate for a public audience. For those that may not believe in this sort of craft, consider these words from Marcel “Death is temporary, but feels eternal. Life is eternal, but feels temporary.” For your chance to be heard or to listen, tune in to the “After Life FM” show.

Frankie the Sports Guy

If you can’t get enough of those Mets, or you just have to know more about the Giants, then Frankie the Sports Guy is your man. Who better than a local New Yorker to take on tough sports questions surrounding the home town teams? Frankie approaches all kinds of sports related topics throughout his show, and he welcomes questions from callers. But be forewarned – this sports host is always ready with a competent comparison or a quirky comeback, so be on your toes!

Frankie has had an impressive array of guests on his show including Kathleen Robins (wife of Doug Robins), Glenn Yankow (VBLI), Jeannie Toy (tri-athlete) and Mike Silva. The best thing about this sports show is that Frankie doesn’t discriminate. HE will discuss all topics from water polo to lacrosse and everything in between. His style is quick to the point and well thought out, but this is one host that sure knows his stuff.

Not only does Frankie entertain callers, but (if you happen to be shy on the phone) his website www.frankiethesportsguy.com offers all listeners a chance to voice their opinion under the “what’s your beef?” category. Frankie will attempt to read as many emails as possible on the show, and allow other listeners to comment on particularly intriguing comments. Frankie encourages posters to “rant, rave, and vent,” so let him have it! If you love sports, and you love to talk about any event that is happening in New York, feel free to give Frankie a shout, or just tune in to his show on Monday nights.

Radio Patriot

Tired of “politics as usual?” Then tune into the “Radio Patriot” with your host Andrea Shea King. King is an Orlando, Florida, radio show host who has recently decided to reach all possible listeners via the internet. She will talk about politics, but you may or may not want to hear all that she has to say. This red, white, and blue toting personality will introduce radio listeners to prominent guests and political ideals all her own. Her Florida listeners have known her famous voice for years, and as they follow her to the Radio Patriot show, nothing much has chanced with the exception of the media format.

Andrea Shea King is known for her unique take on American politics, beginning with the philosophy that “limited government” should “based on the Constitution.” That means that all of her shows will have a special constitutional twist. Modern day politics will be scoured with a fine toothed historical comb, in order to present the present from the viewpoint of the past – after all history does tend to repeat itself.

What can listeners learn from engaging in politics within this historical spectrum? Well, perhaps if history is apparent, the present state of the world will be better prepared for future happenings. For example – and one highly debated topic that King will discuss – the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. This conflict has been ensuing for generations with no real resolution in sight. Will history just keep on reflecting the past?

These are the types of questions that King will present, all debated with future, unknown, guests. The political upheaval throughout the world is wildly spreading, and there is no better time than now to look to the past for answers within the future. It is the goal of King to help curb listeners’ opinions based on relics such as The Constitution, The Founding Fathers, and The American Revolution. It’s time to tune in and voice your opinion, whether you believe in looking to the past or not.

True Outspeak

Who says that a modern day Socrates doesn’t exist? If you are looking to tune into a great political and philosophical mind, you will want to listen to “True Outspeak.” This show is hosted by non other than Olavo de Carvalho, a Brazilian philosopher that is known world wide for his differing views and opinions based on real life experiences.

Carvalho talks about the differences between humanity and collective authority, along with what the public can do to enhance the individual conscience. Carvalho uses ancient religions such as Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in order to emphasize his belief the power of human intelligence. Carvalho discusses international politics in his native language of Portuguese throughout his show, but his works are often translated on his website.

Not only is this man a radio host, he has also written many books, text, political papers, academic theses, conducted interviews, and taught courses at local Universities.

Have you ever had the desire to be on a game show? Well, if you tune in to “TV Studio Live” you just may have that chance. Host Art Kurtz’s main mission is to have fun by bringing his listening audience various game shows throughout the week. Shows include games such as “Fast Talk” (a rapid word game), and “Las Vegas Gambit” (a trivia game based on the popular card game).

If you are considering tuning in to this show, you may want to know that host Art Kurtz has really been a contestant on TV’s “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” – and he won. Well, he didn’t win the giant million dollar jackpot, but he did walk away with $4,000. So, perhaps you’ll want to brush up on your game show skills if you have decided to appear on national television. The TV Studio Live show is actually a part of the Paerdegat Athletic Club’s summer camp (Brooklyn, New York), which means that kids as well as counselors will often call in order to try and win any game show, or to try and stump Kurtz himself.

Even though this show is affiliated with the camp, any listener is welcome to join in.

Media Lizzy

If you are seeking placid, politically correct coverage of the upcoming presidential campaign, or anything politically charged, the Media Lizzy Show is not for you. However, if you would like to explore the world of politics in an uncensored fashion, tune in to the Media Lizzy radio show in order to hear about the world of politics from a host who is really – “just a girl.”

Media Lizzy (Lizzy Blackney) may seem sweet and innocent, but that is just one of her many ploys. This former political party and candidate mouthpiece has turned to radio to voice her true opinion about all things political. Some of Media Lizzy’s latest show have included subjects such as “The First Mistress, the First Lady & the Presidential ‘sex’ factor,” “America’s moral authority over human rights and other issues,” and “The most provocative 15 minutes of breaking political news and opinion.” In fact, all of Lizzy’s topic seem to have a sexually charged theme including the weekly “political quickie,” but mixing up sex and politics is just the type of thing that Media Lizzy is bound to do, so listen attentively, you never know what you may hear.

Though she has often been described as “provocative,” perhaps “contentious” is a better word. Although Lizzy sets out to voice her own opinion, she often incites heated arguments and strong debates based upon her own words. Her latest commentary consisted of an observation made on Barak Obama’s behalf, which included the words “big boy pants,” or – in Lizzy’s opinion – the lack thereof in Obama’s case. Smart, sassy, and intuitive her show is a must for any fan of the political world – whether you agree with her or not.
