Shelley Wynter is kind of back...

Looks like our Shelley Wynter is back. He can be heard on blogtalkradio.com at 11 AM on The Right Side. I had a chance to check out his show yesterday, and true to form it seems as though Shelley does his best at the end of his show.

Koz Carson called Shelley on his cell phone while Shelley was in the middle of his show. Shelley remarked "now why would he call when he knows I am on the air?" I guess I wondered the same thing.

UStalknetwork had the largest number of chat room members during Shelley's time slot while he was part of their forum. I checked the site out yesterday and they had half of the numbers they had when Shelley was on the air. I have said it before and I shall say it again, I don't think that UStalk is going to make it. Oh well, off to check out Shelley!

1380 WAOK .. Just dayum blaq radio...

It's approximately 8:30 AM in the ATL and I am at home sick with the flu. As such I am sitting on the bed, laptop on my thighs listening to Lorraine Jacques White on www.waok.com . True to form I am wondering why the hell I am listening to this woman. But Neal Boortz gets on my last nerves, and Lorraine at least makes me laugh.

On today's show, Lorraine is speculating (in her usually shrill, cracked voice) about Jesse Jackson Jr. She says that the fact that Jesse Jr. worked with the federal government means that they must have had the goods on him. She states that she refuses to believe that he just wanted to maybe do the right thing and he's now known as an informant. Now she asks if Jesse Jr. has ruined his career by being a snitch.

I tell you.. This is coming from a woman who had the Bishop Thomas Weeks, the pastor who beat his wife Juanita Bynum and who was convicted of Aggravated Assault, on her show. He was on her show not to speak his side of the story, he was on Lorraine's show to promote his new reality show where he would find a new wife on TV. That's right ladies and gents, Lorraine the minister promoted another minister's reality show to find a new wife, even though he had just been convicted of Aggravated Assault. Lorraine said she found absolutely nothing wrong with Bishop Weeks finding his wife on TV. Cause she KNEW he would never date a woman who worked at McDonald's. A man of his stature needs to go on TV and find a woman. Well a couple of months later, it became clear why Weeks wanted his reality show (which got canned by the way... who would want to take the chance of matching a wife beating minister with someone?)after he and his congregation (yep people were still following this man) were evicted from his church for non payment. Oh well.

So far on "Power Talk", which is the name of Dr. White's show, two of the regular callers have called- Fred and Antony Muhammad. Brother Antony was on some other angry sounding stuff today, and I had no idea what he was talking about, although sometimes the brotha makes a lot of sense. Fred, who I think is trying to get a position on WAOK, sounded stuffy and half sleep. Fred can't possibly be a working man as he calls the station all day long.

As I said earlier, I don't know why I bother listening to this crap. The callers are usually idiots, the talk show host albeit a sweet lady really bothers the hell out of me and the topics are one dimensional at best. It's amazing what you will listen to while you are at home sick.

Shelley Wynter and USTalknetwork

So, it looks like Shelley bites the dust again. From WAOK to the wanna be talk show forum www.ustalknetwork.com , it seems like Mr. Wynters can't find a home; which is a dayum shame as he is a pretty good talk show host.

Shelley is no longer at www.ustalknetwork.com and it's not clear if he was fired or if he resigned. I was listening to his show when the "owner" of the network interrupted Shelley in order to start a debate. Well it should have been great fodder however, Shelley told Lee (the owner) that it was HIS show and that he could say whatever he wants. Well, the next thing I knew, Shelley was off of the air, failing to finish the last half of his show.

True to form in the talk radio world, there was no explanation of what happened, Shelley was just gone, which is really a shame because Shelley was the best that UStalk had. The other hosts are pretty washed up, one of them sounding like a dirty old man most of the time and the other one as dry as dead cow manure, bless his heart. The backdrop of UStalk is pretty cool with an interactive chat room and what not, but the forum refuses to use the site appropriately IE advising listeners when hosts won't be on the air (which they often are not) or using the site to let listeners know of upcoming events.

I really hope that Shelley makes it back to the scene at a real station as he is something different. A bit too emotional but still something different, and someone who makes me think. As far as www.ustalknetwork.com goes my suggestion is that you get folks who know at least SOMETHING about the net to help you with the forum and go to www.dictionary.com and look up the word professionalism. Maybe that would help you guys, but I really don't care as I won't be listening anymore anyway.

Good Luck Shelley!
