Good show Rip. I need to put you in touch with a friend who owns AwareTalkRadio. This show would be perfect on their channel. Great start!

    The Barack Obama Report Card Episode

    Last January, the world looked on with anticipation at the inauguration of the very first African American president. However, almost one year later, the voices of dissent abound. How do you think President Obama has performed this past year? Not only that, what is his responsibility to the African American community? For this episode, we have special guests Jay Anderson from averagebro.com and Thembi Ford of whatwouldthembido.com sitting in. The only voice that is missing is yours, so tune in, call in, and let your voice be heard.

    Black Athletes/Black Celebs - What's really Going On?

    Years ago, Charles Barkley made the statement, “I'm not a role model...Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.” Following that statement, intense and pointed debate ensued concerning the actual roles and responsibilities of multi-millionaire athletes and celebrities in regards to the greater community. Now recent events—the fall of Tiger Woods and the curious case of one Mr. Gilbert Arenas readily come to mind—offer an occasion to revisit that debate. Do athletes and celebrities deserve the intense scrutiny that surrounds them? Should they be held more accountable for their actions than other people? Come on over and let us know what you think. The most important voice in this conversation is yours!

    Going for the Win in 2010: The New Year, Better You Show

    With our first show of the new year, we plan to work on a game plan for success for 2010. First, let’s continue our discussion on single women looking for Mr. Right - is it really an epidemic or is it just sexy marketing? Certified life coach and matchmaker Paul Brunson of onedegreefrom.me will be on hand to help us with this hot potato as will always intelligent blogger Tracy Renee Jones from mebeinganonymous.blogspot.com and tracyreneejones.com. It’s 2010, and African Americans excelling in every field, however, the images and representations of our community in the media remain negative. Where to point the finger? Or should we just look in the mirror? We also cannot forget that our co-host Michele Grant just published her first book, Heard It All Before, which hit book stores January 1st. We'll take the time to discuss her new book. Max Reddick and RiPPa are on the mic as well. So all we really need now is you… Tune in and speak up because on Freedom Through Speech Radio… the floor is yours.

    The Black Santa Episode

    If you missed last week's show, don't make that mistake again because this show promises to be red hot and just in time for Christmas. This episode we will be discussing HCR (or the lack thereof), Senator Lieberman, the president's falling poll numbers, and we also take a look forward to the 2010/2012 elections. Also, the Washington Post article "Successful, black, and lonely" has caused quite a stir around the blogosphere this week, and we think it deserves to be discussed in depth. Seattle Slim of happynappyhead.com, tracyreneejones of tracyreneejones.com, and CareyCarey of Carey Me Home will be on hand as guest hosts to lend their unique perspectives. So, log on, listen in, and above all, let your voice be heard because the most important voice in this conversation is your voice.

    Inaugural Episode

    This week’s topic: Choices. Listen in as Max, Michele and Rip discuss the question of the day – Is it just us or are people making some character-defining choices these days? Tiger Woods’ choice to cheat and cover it up, Barack Obama’s decision to escalate in Afghanistan and the unfortunate series of choices that ended Maurice Clemmons’ life. Call in and share your opinion as we cover this and anything else that comes to mind. Raise your voice and be heard on a show with no rules, all exceptions… Freedom through Speech Radio.
