It was a grueling open-ocean race dominated historically by only men. But in 1989, a young woman put together an all-female crew to challenge that. The Document invited hundreds of KCRW members to attend, so I RSVP'd. And I'm glad that I did. This film is inspirational. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/writers-guild-theater-beverly-hills-2?select=mGn0PJVXuasfx_E_5a1E9g I am not a woman and I don't sail, yet even I was inspired by this story. These women sailed the sea for about six months against tremendous odds (including the Southern Ocean off the coast of Antartica). Amazing! That inspires me to challenge myself much more in my life as a result. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/writers-guild-theater-beverly-hills-2?select=LMNKf0eXIqhQnlkXLtAKaw There were several food trucks and complimentary wine followed by a Q&A with the yacht captain Tracy Edwards and "Maiden" director Alex Holmes. Overall, a very nice event held at the Writer's Guild theatre. *** I don't subscribe to KCRW for its perks, but nice to partake. ;p ***

The biggest problem I have now is- who do I send money to during the ubiquitous pledge drives?

Some really great topics with all the trimmings of jingles, bumpers and no in-stream ads, that I detected.

To compete against the huge giants that control LA Radioi. Good job, keep it up!

After my 3 year anniversary, as a host on LA TALK RADIO (Melissa Hill: RAWTALK) Sam (the owner) ,…read morestarted treating me like shit! I was loyal to his station, and brought great guests, including Grammy award winning artists, and Academy Award winning directors. The only thing that Sam cares about, is the $99 / WEEK he charges (even if you run a repeat, it still costs $99) If you pay with a $100 bill, good luck getting your $1 in change owed to you. If you show up with only $95, he'll hassle and threaten you, until you show up with the other $4. My show broadcasted live on Tuesday's, and Christmas 2018 & NY Day 2019, both landed on Tuesday's. Any radio station that I know, does not broadcast live on major holidays, they broadcast Pre recorded content or replays. Well, I didn't show up on those two holidays, believing that I didn't need to, and I didn't receive a call or text on those days, asking if I was showing up.... so I believed that all was okay. When I arrived on January 8, 2019 to do my broadcast, Sam walked into the studio, and demanded that he be paid for three weeks of broadcasting. We decided to table the discussion until we could set up a time and meeting with my show sponsor. A few days later, I went online to download my previous week's broadcast, and was shocked to discover that the website was down, as I was looking at a blank white page! I posted an update for my listeners on facebook, informing them that the site was down, and that I would have more information for them in the morning. The following morning, on January 15, I received text messages from Sam, stating that he would sue me for slander and that I was a liability to the station. I told him that his site was down and that he wasn't providing the service that we pay him for! I told him to stop harassing me, and that I'd see him later that night when I show up for my weekly broadcast. I also told him that I was going to bring a hard drive with me to download my entire archive. He told me that he would deny access of my archive to my listeners, unless I pay him for the 2 missed holidays! He also set up a meeting for us, that evening. Well, my sponsor and I showed up for the meeting, and Sam did not! My broadcast that night (which ended up being my final) was with Director Cameron Crowe, and Rock photographer, Neal Preston! It was an amazing show! Afterwards, we saw Sam in the parking garage. He looked at us, ran to his car, and backed out of the garage, nearly hitting us in the process!!!! Moral of this story is, that Sam (who is originally from Israel), will harass and treat women like shit, insult, demean, and lie! If you are black, he'll treat you even worse! To wrap it up.... Hosting on LA TALK RADIO is a good learning experience until you are able to move on to a much better station, where your rights of Free Speech are supported by the owner! Screw you, Sam!

What I don't really like, though, are the number of female artists that sound pretty much all alike. That bores me incredibly, and I'm a woman!
