    S1E6 - Hey Blacks, Shut Up Already

    The tiny town of Greendale, Wisconsin is among the whitest towns in Milwaukee County. Their kids have been the perpetrators of racist videos and rants several times in the last year. And this has been going on for years. Most recently, a Junior at Greendale High School was called a N** three times (the second such occasion from the same whit girl) and the Black girl was suspended and threatened with arrest for disturbing the peace when she yelled at the girl for calling her a Ni**er. The first time it happened and the girl reported it, administration told her to use her calming techniques. Tyra DeAhl talks with Brian Poitier of ConversationsWith.Net about his print story. This is part 1 of a multipart series about Greendale.

    S1E2: Women in the Workplace. Don't do it the wrong way

    This week’s show is all about successful women. Joining us as on-air talent are Capri Fernandez-Wilde with news and interviews and Maegen Rose with BookTalk. Tyra DeAhl hosts. Faren interviews Vicki Quade, the creator of the international comedy hit Late Nite Catechism about her religious comedy franchise as well as her writing and acting career. Faren also interviews Anjali Bidani, an Indian-American Broadway in Chicago theater stage manager turned finance executive who’s giving it all up to return to school to earn her advanced degree in psychology. Tyra reports on a newly approved drug being touted as the female Viagra and on Tracy Baim, the publisher of the Chicago Reader, on how she made big business moves to try to save this historic paper. Capri discusses religious business with author Marilyn Rhames and co-hosts BookTalk with Maegen Rose who discusses the Coretta Scott King book award and a memoir by Jacqueline Woodson. Interviews in this week’s show delve into the backstories of each of our guests… more than we could include in this 45-minute show. Interviews that appear in the main episode focus on the topic of careers and entrepreneurial spirit. The extended interviews give you double the content and dig a bit deeper into the lives of our guests. We’re at a crossroads with our show and would love to hear your feedback. Should we extend the show and include longer, more in-depth interviews in the main show or should we maintain a shorter show with extended interviews available online?
