Motherhood Uncensored

Having children is at the same time very difficult and very rewarding. Kristen Chase’s show is called Motherhood Uncensored because of her “no-more-Mrs.-Nice-Mom” approach, which, she says, is “not for the faint of heart.” A former college professor and musician, this mom is turning things around in blog radio with her witty and informative broadcasts- and her guests are there to back her up.

Previous broadcasts have included wise topics like, “Back to School From the Flip Side: The Down and Dirty From the Teachers”, where teachers sat in and discussed what they thought parents needed to know when it came to the first day of school and all things involved; “Where is the Love? Being a Good Parent Means Being a Good Spouse”, which discusses the conflicts that can come about with trying too hard to be either; “If There’s No Heaven, Where Do We Go? How to Parent Without Religion,” which discussed a recently released book, Parenting Without Belief, which brings up the quandaries of raising children without religion. Another show talked about “mommy guilt”, which raised the issue of parents looking too hard at what others were doing and couldn’t quite figure out what was best for their own kids.

Kristen Chase presents in an open-minded and no-holds-barred manner a variety of information that parents are sure to find refreshing and not in the least bit sugarcoated. In today’s world where millions of products are marketed at parents and almost all of them can seem very confusing, it’s a breath of fresh air to find someone who tells it like it is. You can listen to her show bi-monthly (usually every nine days) at 6:00 p.m.

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.
