This is the last show with me as the host as I will be stepping down to relinquish control of the station to the original owners to give me an opportunity to work on other projects. I would love to hear from you all. Please stop through and show your support as you see fit. Thank you again. I love you all, Peace and blessings.

The fallout. It goes without saying that this past week has been rather tumultuous with regard to race and the tensions between the races as well as authority figures. I have a lot to say and I will be honest, a lot has changed and will change for me, you, the show, the future, and beyond. You will won't to speak on these things. In the light of recent events, I want to give you an opportunity to vent. I want to hear your opinion about anything. About everything.

We are facing the verge of a riot in this country. We need to start planning what we do next. In this show, I want to work toward a resolve. What can we do to fix the break in the chain. Are the law makers listening? What do we do now?

"Lang Karenga from Baltimore" is how he humbly introduces himself but he is a force on the microphone with power words of edification. There is so much to say and tell. July 4th, Alton Sterling, Jesse Williams... Where do we start?

Adrienne Charleston decided at the age of 25 that she wanted to help people reach their full potential. At that time, she found herself 7 years into the military as a Legal Specialist and some years left on her obligation. So, she made a plan. This plan took years to come to fruition, but she never gave up and kept moving forward despite the speedbumps life placed in her way. Adrienne completed that active duty obligation and then some. She then joined the Army Reserve as a Mental Health Specialist. While in the Reserves, she was working toward Military Retirement and on her degrees. Adrienne went back to her home town and attended Fayetteville State University. She graduated with honors with a BS is Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. Adrienne then attended North Carolina Central University where she received her Master’s in Psychology. She retired from the military before graduating with her Master’s. Adrienne then tested and became a Licensed Psychological Associate and began practicing Psychology in the state of North Carolina. She has extensive experience working with those coping with serious mental disorders, and individuals who are just trying to find a way to better navigate life’s challenges.   http://www.adrienne-charleston.com

For the artist known as D.S Williams, writing has always been a form of expression, a way to educate, or a means to escape. Be it through his skill as an MC, his ability as a poet, or serving as the voice of the jettisoned, through his blog Cognegro's Corner, he has realized the power of the spoken and non spoken word! With over 15 years of writing and performing to his credit, D.S has concluded that he has only arrived at the tipping point of his journey. Already with two projects under his belt, the critically acclaimed, debut album "Strength in Letters" and the recent collaborative effort entitled "Mirrorz Edge", D.S Williams is out to continue to amaze his listeners with his inward rhyme schemes, adroit wordplay, and gesticulated performances! Never one to rest on his laurels, DS is currently knee deep in the creative process as he prepares to release his next musical project, "While Your Waiting", as well as his highly anticipated collection of poetry entitled "..................".DS is now primed once again to deliver a palatable “eargasm” to the soul or a jolting experience that makes his listeners uneasy. Either reaction is fine by him!

K.W. The Artisan is the co founder of www.higherupsuniversity.com. Founded in 2013, The Higher-Ups University was created ?to instill the importance of creativity and individuality. We come together for the purpose of creating something new and familiar. We strive to put forth our best effort into the products that we make. The appreciation for art has deteriorated within our culture. Our mission is to bring forth the self-expression that has been missing. We realize that this mission is bigger than any one person. For that, we join forces in order to complete this goal. The Higher-Ups University is expanding day by day and openly invites new members to experience The High Life.

WKPJB Radio was all about poetry. It is how I got started. I was just an open mic participant one time and then became a host. I do my best never to forget that part of the show. So let's just chat. How have you been? What is new with you? How is life treating you? Let's talk and spit bars... are you with me?!?!? We will run the show for the standard time unless we just don't have enough on the line. So join us!

The Warrior's Way. It is not understood by many but for the few that know, it is a hard tread road. With the completion of the WKA USA National Championships in New York, The Kai Thai Academy of Wilson, NC Kru Bishop has trained several fighters to represent and they did. We will speak with them again as they give their personal account of how things are in the arena, the chaos, the excitement and victories. If you are not a fighter in a ring, that does not mean you are not a warrior. If you have ever fought for something, anything, you are a warrior! Those who enter any arena of competition with others or with themselves, are warriors. So please join us on WKPJB Radio as we speak to warriors of all types! You do NOT want to miss this show! For a little background, The World Kickboxing Association enjoys great success at all levels on a global scale. It has representatives in more than 90 countries and regularly holds competitions, culminating once a year in the WKA World Championships, which involves all the amateur martial arts disciplines and styles under one set competition format. This year, it was held in New York for the first time and Team KaiThai went in force to represent not only North Carolina but also the martial arts as a whole.

Bearing my insecurities is an ongoing project by Chamber 7. It is a personal account of the hidden journey men take to understanding themselves. They are often criticized for the process but few know what that process is. We will ask several men how they feel about certain stereotypes and situations they have personally been faced with. What are your questions? What do you have to ask of men of valor?

The Warrior's Way. It is not understood by many but for the few that know, it is a hard tread road. With the Upcoming Event - 5/19-22/16 - WKA USA National Championships in New York, The Kai Thai Academy of Wilson, NC Kru Bishop has trained several fighters to represent. We will speak with them and interview those who attend the gym to hear the real world account of those who train, those who fight, those who coach and those who are interested to understand the path of a fighter. Please join us on WKPJB Radio.

Back to Basix Open mic is going to be a celebration of the wonderful worx of art that these poets possess. We will return to the art of allowing everyone a chance to speak freely. Bring a piece or come to get peace. We are all here to feel comfortable and share. If you just need to talk, or express yourself in other ways, this is the time and place to do it... I thank you all for taking this journey with us... It is about to get crazy!

WKPJB Radio Presents a rather WICKED open mic with your hosts Chamber7 and BluPhunk! We have been choosing subjects for you and tonight I wanted to give everyone a chance to speak their mind. We will start with a subject and if you press one to speak you can either choose to speak on the topic, choose a new topic or revisit a previous topic... I just want to chat with you for a moment. Have some fun. People don't really openly just have conversation. They argue or they are expected to always agree. Well here, you can have an opinion and we can agre to disagree because that is ok. I hope we can answer all of your questions... and spark new ones with the answers! LET'S GO!

This will be a special show. We will start with a feature and end with a discussion for the first time ever. Our feature this evening will be Walday! He has recently released his single and we here at blogtalkradio wish to offer him the opportunity to voice his words of wisdom tonight. Then we will will conclude the evening with our discussion on the HB2 ruling in NC. No... The feature and the subject of our discussion are NOT related... We just want to have the open forum of discussion that we promised our listeners. Please join us as we take another ride with the brothas of WKPJB Radio

Haven't done an erotic show in quite some time so dust off your notebooks and bring your latest and greatest as we interview Karmel Poet. With the recent release of her book, we will have an interview with the one and only Karmel Poet! It has been quite some time and would be nice to catch to see how things have been.

What are you passionate about? What keeps you awake at night? What is the one thing you have found yourself doing, thinking about or planning for so much that you lose track of time? What keeps you going? That is your passion. Your desire. Your drive. Your purpose. Today we will discuss the power of passion and how it affects us. How it drives us and what you can do to be a part of it. If you have not seen the movie Batman vs Superman and you intend to, DO NOT listen to this show. If you have, you NEED TO listen to this show.

Well... technical difficulties aside, we had a great show... We are going to do it again. We are going to DO IT AGAIN!!! Did you miss us? Been a while. I will be honest... I was strongly considering not coming back. It has been a hard year... and it just started. However, I have been made aware that we have a purpose. We are here to give you a voice and we have been silent for too long. We have a few concepts we wish to share but this first show will begin with the controversy of a recent meme that I saw regarding a television show. I asked for the thoughts of the listeners... I got them... Boy did I get them. Well, now I want to have an open discussion about it. So all those opinionated folks, where you at? Chamber 7 & Blu Phunk are back... We have a new plan of attack... We still do poetry up in here so don't forget to bring that. Nevertheless, we will stress the importance of progress so come with your best or you might get embarassed... Just saying

I just wanna chat...

Cultural appropriation is a sociological concept which views the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture as a largely negative phenomenon. What is it about and how can we avoid it. I think it is time we discuss this at length. If you’re Katy Perry, for example, you believe it’s A-OK to don corn rows and gel down your baby hair, put on some long fingernails and so-called sassy mannerisms with a “blaccent” and slang to portray how you believe certain black women behave and speak. But when you do it, as a white artist, you perpetuate a long legacy of white cultural theft—in addition to bypassing all the racist and misogynist insults those black women must contend with on a daily basis. That includes being called “ghetto” by white (and other) people, typecast as a welfare queen or otherwise told that your natural hairstyles and expressions are inferior and unwelcome. These are symptomatic of slavery and segregation in America and, yes, this really still happens every day. And it’s cultural appropriation. As writer Tamara Winfrey Harris expertly notes over at Racialicious, it’s the oppression that causes the intense offense that many people—mainly white people—seek to explain away rather than critically question.

Making the decision to have children can be a daunting task. On average it costs nearly a quarter of a million dollars to raise a child. Some people don't want the responsibility. Others can't live without their children. On this show we will weigh the options and discuss the pro's and con's from both sides of the spectrum. Both men and women have made various changes on how they view the want and need for children. Please join us.

It's a matter of respect. Hasn't it always been that way? Then why do we continue to negate the fact that most conflicts are based on the inability of one side to respect the perspective of the other? How often have you looked back at a situation and said, "oh wait, I could have handled that differently" This conversation is sparked in the wake of the officer who threw a young black girl to the ground in a South Carolina school. Now there is a call to action. An outcry against injustice but... are we looking at this correctly? What is the root cause of the problem? Let's discuss it tonight on WKPJB Radio

Uber Technologies Inc. is an American international transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile app, which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request which is then routed to Uber drivers who use their own cars. By May 28, 2015, the service was available in 58 countries and 300 cities worldwide. Since Uber's launch, several other companies have copied its business model, a trend that has come to be referred to as "Uberification". Uber was founded as "UberCab" by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in 2009 and the app was released the following June. Beginning in 2012, Uber expanded internationally. In 2014, it experimented with carpooling features and made other updates. By mid-2015, Uber was estimated to be worth $50B. Join us as we discuss this phenomenon and tell the stories that come with being in an Uber!

We will discuss burning man from the perspective of BluPhunk!   Join us!!!!

2 HOURS OF RAW SPOKEN WORD AND POETRY

So I went to see Straight outta Compton this weekend. Watching the film inspired me, tremendously, ... but then came the comments. Even though it was the number one movie of this past weekend, even though it was F. Gary Gray's career best film, there were still the haters. So in this show we will discuss the influence of music, Hip Hop, Film, Artists, Mysoginism, Police Brutality and the necessity for groups like NWA. We want you to rep your set and tell us what it was like for you growing up. We will also continue our tradition of open mic so if you have a piece you wish to share, we encourage you to bring it with and share with us, even if off topic because here at WKPJB Radio, we encourage you to venture into the uncomfortable. Chamber7 BluPhunk

"Does any of this sound familiar? "I'm too tall." "I'm too short." "I'm too skinny." "If only I were shorter/taller/had curly hair/straight hair/a smaller nose/longer legs, I'd be happy." Are you putting yourself down? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're going through lots of changes in your body. And, as your body changes, so does your image of yourself. It's not always easy to like every part of your looks, but when you get stuck on the negatives it can really bring down your self-esteem. Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important? Self-esteem is all about how much you feel you are worth — and how much you feel other people value you. Self-esteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect your mental health and how you behave. People with high self-esteem know themselves well. They're realistic and find friends that like and appreciate them for who they are. People with high self-esteem usually feel more in control of their lives and know their own strengths and weaknesses." - from http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/body_image/body_image.html We will discuss body image on this show from all aspects. Men, women, young, old. How do you feel about you? Chamber 7 and BluPhunk

Rape culture is a concept in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, sexual objectification, trivializing rape, denial of widespread rape, refusing to acknowledge the harm of some forms of sexual violence, or some combination of these. There is evidence to suggest that rape culture is correlated with other social factors and behaviors. Rape myths, victim blaming, and trivialization of rape have been found to be positively correlated with racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, classism, religious intolerance and other forms of discrimination. Our previous conversation on the matter was so extensive that it required a Part 2. We will continue our discussion on Rape Culture and how you can stop it. An adult discussion with Chamber Seven and BluPhunk

Rape myths, victim blaming, and trivialization of rape have been found to be positively correlated with racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, classism, religious intolerance and other forms of discrimination. The most recent case with Bill Cosby has sparked the need to have this discussion. Both men and women, can be raped. Both men AND women can be blamed for rape. I want to have an open, adult discussion about it.

Our next show will be dedicated to the hard working youtube video makers of the newest web series called: Bottom of the Barrel! The creation of actor/athlete Tony Wade?, this youtube series was designed to give you an in depth review into some of the worst movies that you may stumble across. Based on the title or fan based suggestions, the team of Bottom of the Barrel sacrifice their time to watch these movies and then take the time to review it in a hilarious way. This will give you a chance to speak with them directly and get their views on the show as well as the rest of the world so come with your questions! Call in 347-324-5487, press 1 to speak or nothing to listen.

Our next show will be surrounding the controversy of the taking down the confederate flag in NC. This is the subject chosen by one of our fans! We want to hear your opinion.

This show is a blessing and an honor for me. Godchild the Omen has been a fixture in the VA spoken word community for a very long time. He is long been the host with the most for most of the open mic in the 7 cities. It was only fitting that he would be the mentor for me... ( Get it Chamber 7 birthed in the 7 cities? ) He has been on his grind for a long while and I am honored to have a chance to interview him on our show. He has a lot of shows and flows to share... Please bring your questions and your poems. Chamber 7 and BluPhunk BOOM! 347-324-5487

This evening we will feature E the Poet Emcee!!! He has an initiative that I want to introduce to you all and I look forward to speaking with him. You can get a copy of his work on CDbaby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/epoetemcee You can preview his work on Reverbnation if you follow this web link: https://www.reverbnation.com/ethepoetemcee   So bring your pieces and let's get into this!!! C7, BPhunk!

Ok... I know I was supposed to have Godchild the Omen, Carl West but I did not do a very good job of promoting the show. I dare not dishonor my friend, brother and mentor like that so I am postponing the show. I want to be sure he gets all of the attention he rightfully deserves. So today, we are having an open mic. We will go all out and discuss any and everything. So bring your pieces and let's get into this!!! C7, BPhunk!

It is my honor and privilege to announce this next show to illuminate the beginnings of the 10th annual Black Poetry Festival in Atlanta, GA!!!! I will be in attendance and looking forward to it. We will have special guest, Lamar Anthony Hill. As a native of Newark, NJ. In 1999 he left a successful career in sales and made the decision to begin performing spoken word poetry for a living. Eight years later, Lamar has produced more than a half dozen CDs. He is also a published author releasing Freak, his first novel in 2003. In 2004, Lamar wrote and produced his first stage play Deception and Denial. The following year his second play Never Sleep Alone played to sold out crowds and rave reviews. In 2006, he wrote and produced The Love Electric. He will speak more on some of his work in our show and hopefully bless us with some of his work. We will also discuss with JustMeThePoet the in's and out's of the up and coming 10 annual Black Poetry Fest. Please bring your poetry and spit dat fiya!!! What better way to spend a Wed!

Aight so this is not your typical Blogtalkradio show, or so I have been told. Normally we have our open mic discussions on Wed. Well now we will start a new monthly show called, "Settin' the records straight" This show is dedicated to giving a voice to people who have something to say and don't wish to curb it on the stance of tact or formality. This edition of Settin the records straight, welcomes, Spoken Word Artist Endlesswill Davis. He recently shared his candid opinion of the Olympian formerly known as Bruce Jenner, now Ms. Caitlyn Jenner. His opinion sparked a remarkable amount of controversy. WKPJB Radio recently had a show titled TransJenner, where we featured the season 2 winner of Rupaul's Drag Race, Tyra Sanchez. This should prove to be a very enlightening show as well. We will take all on comers who wish to discuss the matter maturely. Please join Chamber7 and BluPhunk.

Ok, let me cut to the chase: I didn't want to do this show. Not because I was opposed or offended by the idea but because I felt it disrespectful to Caitlyn Jenner. Why? Because it is her life and her decision and even as a "celebrity" it is none of my concern what she wants to do with her life but then I realized that everyone doesn't think that way. Everyone is not willing to see both sides of the story. I want to give a opportunity to those who are not celebrities on this scale to speak freely. I want to give those who oppose or defend Caitlyn's decision to speak out freely. So in this show, as always, you have the choice to voice your opinion, state some facts and spit some poetry. I welcome all open, honest, intelligent discussions. I am not in support of being derogatory to anyone's character by no means so please be mindful of your comments and how they could be harmful to others. Let's just have a mature discussion. Shall we? You just might learn something.

In this week's show, we are going to have a candid discussion in regard to a recent meme that has been making the rounds on social media. The scenerio is as follows. You are at a barbecue. Your man is hungry. He lets you know he is hungry but you are not the kind of woman to go around "fixing plates" for a man so you ignore him. A random woman hears this and says, I will fix his plate. She sashays away and comes back with a plate for your man. Do you have any problems with this? We shall discuss it at length by dissecting it considerably. I look forward to your insight!

This week's show is focusing on the amazing human ability to know when and when not to do something. We will discuss a woman's intuition and a man's gut instinct. What moments of inspiration have you had that were caused by these? This will be an open forum of discussion. Even though we have a topic, we are always open to some poetry!!! The mic is always live!!! Please join us!

Aight so this is not your typical Blogtalkradio show, or so I have been told. Normally we have our open mic discussions on Wed. Well now we will start a new monthly show called, "Settin' the records straight" This show is dedicated to giving a voice to people who have something to say and don't wish to curb it on the stance of tact or formality. They will speak as freely as possible and the host will merely act a guardrail to stay on topic. I hope you will join us for our very first show where we will speak with Carlos Lavezzari also known as Written in Pain. We will discuss a recent video he posted with regard to his opnion and the backlash he received from it. Want to know more? Stay tuned. and if you have something you want to get off your chest, got beef, then let us know and we will get you on the next edition of... "Settin' the records straight"

This week's show is for the awareness of mental health. This month is not only for Lupus awareness but it is also for the mental health awareness. We will take a moment to discuss mental health, the struggles, the triumphs, speak with those who work in the mental health field, those who struggle with mental health and those who have fears of it. This will be an open forum of discussion. Even though we have a topic, we are always open to some poetry!!! The mic is always live!!! Please join us!

This week's show is where we will celebrate the independent artists! We will have two independent artists who are the best at their craft. Prodigal and AChickWitBeats will join us to discuss the business of the independent artists. Hailing from the C-Port, Prodigal is a multi-dimensional lyricist brings knowledge, witty punch lines, and real life issues to ear drums. His agenda is to bring hip-hop back to the essences of story telling, metaphors, and raw street life.  AChickWitBeats hails from Michigan and simply put she's a CHICK. She makes BEATS and NOT the free kind. She is a Producer/Songwriter of R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Pop, Electronica, Poetry and everything in between.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present to you the one and only Poetic Genius, Mr. Chris Green in the building with us. I met him online when he was asking someone else how he could feature. I happened to see the post and told him that I would be in his area for a show. If he was serious, I told him to come out and "audition". Well, he accepted my challenge,... even without having a vehicle and potentially no way to make it to the show. Well, he made it. I made arrangements with the host and he beasted the open mic. I let the crowd decide. He was an amazing success. So to have him as my feature, I think we are truly blessed. Oops. There I go. Rhyming again. I guess that is what happens when you have so many poetic friends! Chamber 7 BluPhunk... Show up... show out. Beast Mode

This show will be different than most. It IS April Fool's Day but I am not pulling your leg when I tell you that today also happens to be BluPhunk's Birthday. I want all of you to stop by his message board and wish him a happy birthday! I have blocked him as my friend, (temporarily of course) to do all of this in secret. Do it as a favor to me! I thank you!

This weekend I, Chamber 7, had the honor and privilege of being a part of the amazing production of Judy's Child. A short film written by Jacqueline King-howell and directed by Ty Hodges. We will have many of the cast and crew of this production on the show for interview and discussion. Please join us and bring your questions about the industry! this will give you an chance to speak with those who are actually in the industry and understand the creativity as well as the politics of show business. It was grueling and intense but WORTH IT!!!

This will be an open mic but we are starting it late because it seems so many people are very interested in EMPIRE. So I want to give everyone a chance to watch the show and bring their opinions. I want to address what it takes to build an EMPIRE. Everyone wants power but we have a delusion about what it is so let's be power hunger this evening and take it to the level of unlimited resources. That is the question on the table: If you had the resources, what EMPIRE would you build?

That's right! It has been a while since we have had one so No theme. Just spit!!!

OYE COME JOIN  MAIYAH & SPECIAL GUEST CO~HOST LEE LEE AINT MSBEHAVIN SUNDAY MARCH 8TH, 2015 FROM 8PM-10PM EST FOR 2 HOURS OF RAW POETRY & PURE SPOKEN WORD~WE WILL BE LOOKING AT CHILD TRAFFICKING & CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS & THE TOLL IT HAS TAKEN ON OUR SOCIETY~MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR INK PENS READY TO PIERCE INTO THE DARKNESS OF THESE ISSUES TO HELP BRING SOME LIGHT INTO THE ABYSS OF THESE ISSUES THAT CAUSE EMOTIONAL, MENTAL & PHYSICAL DAMAGE. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN THE CHAT ROOM OR HEARING YOU ALL ON THE AIR WAY~LOVE & PEACE...MAIYAH

On this show, we will discuss the existence of God, the Devil, Atheism, Religion, the like. Why? Why NOT?

This is going to be a touchy subject. After reviewing a recent video and watching the incidents that followed, I decided to do the show on this subject anyway. A man can't win in a physical altercation with a woman in the eyes of society because if he wins, he was stronger than her and that was mean. If he loses, he's a bitch and he deserved it... NO MATTER IF SHE STARTED IT OR NOT! It is best to avoid it the altercation, and if you can't avoid it walk away and make it obvious you are not trying to have a physical fight but my momma always taught me, never hit a lady. She also taught me that a LADY never hits a man unless in self defense so if you decide you want to put hands on me, all I see is a target... fighting quickly becomes gender nuetral in the world of self defense. This is not going to be as easy as it seems. We will ask all parties to be open minded and respectful.

So last week BluPhunk and I, Chamber 7 had a very candid conversation about BDSM in reference to the recent release of the movie, 50 Shades of Grey. However, it seems the movie did not live up to it's name in the opinion of many. Nevertheless, the show was a success at conveying that message to the masses. So much so, we had to have a part two to give everyone a chance to free their inner dom/sub. I am pleased to annouce this second show where we will discuss the topic at further length. I look forward to speaking with all of you and hearing your words. This is a no judgment zone. I hope you will cum... I mean come,... with an open mind for this open mic...

Ladies & Gentlemen, BluPhunk and Chamber 7 would like to present a Valentine's day show like no other... In this show, we will celebrate the impending Valentine's day with a celebration of the extremities of passion and intimacy. We will discuss the elements in 50 Shades of Grey. Whether or not you have read the book, plan to see the film or have no interest in the practices, this will be a show you don't want to miss. Bring your erotic poetry, share with us your words of taboo. We have a LOT of interesting discussion coming... I mean... cumming...

Ladies and gentlemen, Blu Phunk & I, (Chamber 7), are proud to annouce our confirmed feature with our recent guest Kyd Kane! She is a spoken word enterntainer unlike any other. With the recent release of her latest video, Awaken, we look forward to speaking with her and fans to find out the source of her inspiration and hear more of her work. Join us for this special event and be sure to check out the video prior to the show to give us your opinion

Kids these days, right? Well, why are they like that? Is it the parents? Is it the teachers? Is it the system? Is it all of the above? Please join Chamber Seven and BluPhunk as we discuss the growing behavior trend of the Millennials who seek gratuitous reward for minimal output. What has happened to this generation of kids that are trained to take tests and not create and grow? Are we designing a better version of slave? Drones that just doa and don't think? Think about it, write about it and then, let's discuss it.

There were several subjects that I wanted to discuss but this one just wouldn't let go. I actually almost dismissed this one because I didn't think many watched the The State of the Union address from last night. However, I was reminded that we have an intelligent, diverse audience. I believe you won't let me down. I won't tolerate anyone being disrespected. I want all political views to be expressed. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Please gives us your view and share at will. Let's talk about the taboo subject that denied at the dinner table. I want to have a mature, fact-ridden discussion. Please help me make that happen.

There have been terrorist attacks, from the murders that occurred at the satirical paper in France to the thousands that have been killed in Nigeria. I think it's time we discuss it. We need to talk about what has happened in Ferguson again, we need to discuss how the cops have now been under fire for all of their indiscretions on TV and we need to discuss how everyone is not the same and this is our opportunity to do so. I know you have conscience poetry that you would like to share with us and this would be the best opportunity. We need to have a mature discussion about it so join chamber 7 and BluPhunk for a serious discussion about your civil liberties and the potential of the loss in the future.

WELCOME BACK!!! I am very glad to have you back. We made it through 2014 and we are starting a new year. The paint is still new, still got that new car smell, still tread on the tires. Well, let's get it all out there... OPEN MIC!!! Say what you feel, poetry, gut feelings, emotions, problems, issues... Whatcha gotta say... What do you want to hear from us? Let's get it on!!!

IT'S THE LAST SHOW OF THE YEAR!!!!! NO HOLDS BARRED!!! OPEN MIC!!! NO THEME!!!! It has been a great year to say the least. So much has happened. So many great shows. Awesome features. Wonderful topics. Amazing conversation. Delicious rebuttals.I could go on but I will let you do the talking tonight. Tell us what is on your mind. Tell us about the year. What you liked. What you didn't like. What was great about the shows. What was horrible. EVERYTHING!!!! We want to hear it all and give it all. Let's close out the year with a bang!

Trish Doolin is a long time friend of mine and also a wonderful artist in so many aspects!! I am looking forward to having her on the show. For those of you who have heard my first album, Hostile Intentions, you will know her voice from a track called, These Changing Winds where we did a duet together. She is a remarkable artist in all senses of the word. She is not only an accomplished spoken word artist, but a painter, a sculptor, a jewelry maker as well as an author! Her accolades and accomplishments don't stop there! Her professional resume is incredible!!! She has been out of the poetry scene for quite some time and I decided to extend this invitation to her in hopes of reminding her that her presense is missed!!! Please help me welcome a woman of strong creative conviction as we embark on the journey of dismantling the topics of tainted media and the arts! Trish Doolin!

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you Tainted Lucas. Many of you already know him but for those of you who don't, you are in for a treat. He is joining us amidst a busy schedule. He has a book coming out very soon and he also has several poems he wishes to share. There is also a topic of discussion we wish to tackle. One of our devoted listeners sent in the question: How can you tell if you've hurt a man's feelings. This is not going to be a male bitch session with a bunch of dudes who want to cry about how we have splinters. We will discuss the things people do to damage the very souls of a man. We will discuss it all. Respectfully. Let's talk and it would be nice if I could get more of my male callers who have a strong opinion.

We have had to postpone our regularly schedule interview for another time. The riots have made me... well, I will save my opinion. I want to hear yours. I want to know what you think. Blu Phunk has a lot to say on the matter as well. We need to talk folks. Let's talk Ferguson. Let's talk responsibly, not recklessly. Let's talk human, not race. Let's have a meaningful discussion and let's try to learn rather than judge and criticize. Let's talk...

Simple question: What do you do when the music stops? What does that statement even mean to you? This whole show is about what to do when everything is going well and then all of a sudden... it's not. What do you do then? What would you have done if you knew it would get to this point? Was the ride worth the painful destination? Would you have avoided it all? If you would've known it was going to be like this, would you have even bothered to answer the call? It's an open mic so you get to chose. On this mic, you will bleed. How many pints are you willing... to lose?

It was an amazing show last week! I have all of those who participated to thank for that. Now I know I said I wanted to use this show to discuss erogenous zones but... Well, I changed my mind. I would rather just chat it up with the folks and see what springs up!!! That's right. Tonight is Dealers Choice. So when you call, you get to choose the topic, discuss it and then I get to ask the next caller. Who will do the same. We shall keep the conversation free flowing !!! Join us!

Ouch... A fumble on the play last week!!! Lost the call while discussing the MisEducation of America!!! We will however, be returning to the roots of blogtalkradio by entering into the realm of the Erotic Open mic... That's RIGHT!!! We are crossing back over the bridge. Bring your most erotic open mic! We will also be speaking with Church Da'Poet! We will discuss The Original Erotic Pole-etry presents "4Play" Oct, 10, 2014 www.theoriginaleroticpoleetry.com Purchase your tickets today!!!!

The education system in this country is not the worst. Land of the free, home of the brave and all but not home of the super intelletuals. I mean sure we have our geniuses but what is our country truly known for? Celebrities. We pump them out by the thousands. Our innovations in entertainment are astounding and the debauchery we are willing to put out in the open is well known, but how does that affect our education system? Well, I want to talk about it. I want to discuss it with the people who work IN the system. I am calling all teachers, all administrators, all students, young and old. I want to hear you stories and the poetry inspired by it. Blue Phunk and I wish to navigate the murky waters of understanding: The MisEducation of America. oh... and here is some more homework too, http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/139113/jal-mehta/why-american-education-fails

Nicki Minaj - Anaconda. I want you to watch it then listen to this show. I want your candid opinions on it. We will discuss how sexuality is skewed by the public. The show has slightly changed formats where we will have a discussion for an 1 1/2 hour then on to the open mic! Bring your discussion. I hope you did your homework. I posted several videos to highlight the issue at hand. Women are not the only ones who have been portrayed negatively in the media. Men have also. I know that is hard to believe but I know we can have a healthy discussion that will enlighten our listeners.

So let's try this again. Last week, we attempted to have a show but due to unforeseen circumstances, the show failed mid stream. To all of my faithful callers, I apologize on behalf of the entire WKPJB BlogTalkRadio Team. We never want to waste the time and energy of our participants and listeners. With that said, tonight's show is going to be an open forum about how you grew up. We have two special guests on today who discuss their differing views on how they grew up. Please join myself, Chamber7, and BluPhunk in Poetry or free verse on how you grew up.

Not necessarily an impromptu show but not our typical show. I want to give you an open forum to speak your mind. Say it however you want to. Ask the hard questions and be prepared for the answers. What do you have to say? You will have two educated gentlemen willing to answer almost any and everything. So this is your chance. Men, women, and all interested parties. Say what you feel.   Chamber 7

So we have been on hiatus for a while and it has been some time now that you have heard from us or we have heard from you so how about we get to know one another again. Shall we?
