"Talk it Over Radio is Diane Dimond, Lee Jay Berman and Louise Palanker."

"Be still my ears! Where else can you find such an experienced trio hosting a lively call-in program that helps listeners with personal conflicts through the use of mediation tools, common sense and humor? Some of us pay therapists mighty big bucks for the kind of advice you will find here. If you long for a caring, kinder sort of chemistry talk radio, this show hits the spot."

View Article  Blogging From Weezy
by Louise Palanker on Tue 14 Jun 2005 03:08 PM PDT

I am very proud of Laura and Matt for their contributions to a great podcasting debut.  I was not able to listen to it until very recently.

I've been doing a lot of press since the verdict in the Michael Jackson Trial which we will discuss in greater detail in our next podcast.  I was a prosecution witness in this trial because I am a friend of the young accuser's.  With the gag order lifted, I felt that the time had come for me to speak up for a wonderful and heroic boy.  You may be excited to learn that based on this decision, the quality and intensity of the hate mail I'm receiving has risen impressively.  One thoughtful hater is suggesting that I might like to suck on a mule's ass?...  Worth a thought.  Another fine gentlemen warns me that all Jews like me will soon die?  I'm certain that Michael Jackson, a God-like ambassador of peace and love is warmed to include Nazis into his fan fold.

I listened to the entire Weezy and The Swish show last night at about 3:00 am and I actually laughed out loud, so it must be funny, since I already heard it while we were recording it.   


If you have any interest in my bout with infamy, so far, I've been on Anderson Cooper (he's a hottie), Paula Zahn (probably more Matt's type) and Catherine Crier (something for all of us)  It's a joke.  My heart belongs to D.A. Ron Zonen...

Let's see, today I was scheduled for Greta Van Something (sorry I don't know how to pronounce or spell Sustren) which is on the Fox News, but I was suddenly called by George of Fox News who told me that Greta has decided to cancel me and focus her show tonight on the missing girl in Aruba.  I feel that Greta has made a wise choice.

Back to me... Tomorrow I'll be interviewed for Celebrity Justice.  Oh, and the 48 Hours I taped may air soon.

As for being swept into a swirl of media frenzy following a high profile child molestation trial?  I can't say it's for everyone, but I have found it to be very enlightening.  I'm meeting a lot of interesting people, fighting against rage and disillusionment and having make-up applied by strangers.

Weezy and The Swish - Episode 1

Laura sums up the show better than I could. So I am going to just steal her words on the subject:

Post #1 on the Podcast:

Saturday I went into the studio with Weezy and we recorded the first podcast. She's got pics of said event at flickr and possibly her website. I don't have the addresses for either at present but a quick Google search should yield results. The first two hours of the initial podcast were spent figuring out how to hook everything up correctly. We had Matt Hartley calling in from Washington and we could hear him but he couldn't hear us, and there was a lot of talk of input and output and sound engineer kind of stuff. But after a couple hours we were off and running.

I don't know how it turned out, but I can say I had a fun time recording it. Weezy and I amused ourselves and will hopefully amuse others who check it out. Subjects we touched upon: Testifying in the MJ trial, My BIG audition (could go absolutely nowhere), Flying body parts, Henry Winkler's fondness for me (word on the street is he likes me), Steve Jobs, Potato Chip Jesus and a bunch of other stuff. There were many tangents. I think it might go up in a few days, but I'm not doing any of the technical stuff so it depends on others.


Post #2 on the Podcast

I listened to a half hour of Weezy and The Swish today and I didn't cringe all that much, which surprised me. For the first one, I liked it. The second half hour may have tanked. I'm not sure. The one thing I'd change is the sound level on my mic. Weezy's voice is a lot louder than mine. I shouldn't be surprised, however, because we recorded the show in her studio. She probably told the engineer to muffle my voice. And of course I noticed certain things I do that bother me, which is good. I'll be able to correct for them.

And Weezy posts the show to her site as well.

Judging from the email I received from her, I think she was pleased. Here's the link to her site.
