JULY 2008 Broadcast Schedule Wednesday
July 2nd, Friday July 4th , Sunday July 6th & Monday July 7th Social worker, radio personality and “Relationship Whisperer” Ronnie Sonnenberg sits down with Angela to hash out a topic that's near and dear to us all – that being matters of the heart. Ronnie explores all of love's seasons and explains why she believes there is wisdom in the credo “It is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.” This insightful program will give listeners a fresh perspective on their own relationships and will be underscored with beautiful music from the likes of Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Keyshia Cole.
As Initiative Radio expands its' audience, the IR team is diversifying the programming to cover topics and guests who might otherwise remain below the media radar. One such guest is talented, young 3-D artist, animator and sculptor Zan Rice. In a lively conversation with Angela, Rice recounts his days as a recalcitrant New York City kid, whose innate artistic talent was his saving grace. He also gives listeners a crash course in 3-D animation and the modeling techniques used to bring many of our favorite superheroes from the pages of our comic books to the movie houses and toy shelves.
Today's show is the first of a two-part salute to New York City venues and promoters who ensure that live music remains a vibrant part of NYC's cultural landscape. In the spirit of “ladies first” Angela features Cathleen Angelo, an energetic, young, promoter who enlivens a number of Brooklyn based night spots with the sounds of cutting edge musicians. Cathleen also lifts the spirits of children each year when she takes a break from New York, to undertake humanitarian missions in South-East Asian orphanages.
Twenty-five years ago, Larry Gold's father was set to close down his sandwich shop in a not-so-glamorous part of Manhattan, now known as the thriving district of Soho. Armed with gumption and the desire to bring Brazilian music to Manhattanites, Larry took over the lease of his father's store and established the iconic night club SOB's. Over the last quarter century, SOB's square footage and repertoire have expanded to showcase a plethora of world and urban music makers – both famous and soon-to-be famous. In this hour, you will be inspired by Larry's journey as a successful, music loving entrepreneur and by the eclectic musical selections Angela has programmed.
The village of Harlem is undergoing major gentrification and consequently, folks who have survived segregation, poverty and drug wars are now being asked to pack their bags and make room for others. Landlords and long-time tenants seem to be constantly at odds, while a “new” and more “desirable” tenant is being ushered in to change the face of one of the America's most culturally enriched communities. In the midst of these changes, the Heritage Heights Village organization, is employing initiatives that seek to embrace Harlem's evolution, keep her cultural heritage intact and bring hope and prosperity to long-time residents. Heritage team member, John Cardwell sits down with Angela to explain how the Heritage Heights team is managing this Herculean task.
