On this show, I cover the hottest headlines and few that I feel deserve more attention too. I also cover the latest Hollywood celeb dish and there’s no lack of fun with some improv thrown in too. In this past week alone, the show has taken on the flu epidemic in the US, killer whales’ newly discovered ability for mimicry, the origins of Ground Hog Day, Steve Wynn’s woes with the Nevada Gaming commission and more–and that’s not even the celebrity news!

We’re scheduling guest to come on this show soon for a fun, unfiltered celeb experience, so join me on UpLive. You can keep tabs by LIKING my Facebook page too. Vote on the hot topic poll and let’s talk about what you’re interested in discussing more in-depth.

Dear Males of Snapchat

I received a barrage of lewd pics from guys on Snapchat this weekend, and nothing I particularly wanted to see. Seriously, don’t send lewd pics that are not asked for.

Getting Personal Online

On this week’s What Women Want Talk Radio, Judy Goss and I explored how to make our digital dealings more personal with Olivia Poole and Ali Beck.

5.17 Turning DIgital Into Personal

Olivia Poole was frustrated when finding new friends in a new city, so she invented, Hey!VINA, an app that connects women to each other, based on your social habits. Night owls, nature lovers, wine connoisseurs and others all can find each other and make plans to socialize outside the app on her online platform. Poole also created ladybrag.com, a site dedicated to helping women embrace their achievements large and small. Too often, Poole said, women do not achieve what they are capable of because, unlike their male counterparts, they do not brag as much, so she created a space for women to do that. I think this idea is amazing. I admitted on air that sometimes I have inadequacy issues and I think this platform is a great way to remedy some of those feelings.

Ali Beck, kindergarten teacher-turned-dating expert, went on 20 dates in 30 days. Beck has tried all the dating apps and in this interview offers insight to keep you happy, healthy and safe while looking for love. With the advent of online dating, women have unique concerns when looking for love and Ali advises on how to avoid catfishing, bread-crumbing and ghosting. Though not a dating app user myself, some of my relationships did start online and it was interesting to hear Ali’s thoughts as she shared her experiences.
