July 30, 2010: Into Each Life a Little Awesome Must Fall

That’s what Kay Ballard thinks anyway.  And in a week that was mostly devoted to projects related to Women Are Not Funny Radio, the only thing that remained undone was sufficient planning for the July 30 broadcast and the conversation with the fabulous friend who was to have been the day’s awesome featured guest.  All is not lost, for the unnamed featured guest has been rebooked and will truly be sufficiently featured in an upcoming  show.  We know you can’t wait for the conversation!  However, it appears that you shall have to.

But since you are awesome as well, particularly if you are a member of the internet’s most prestigious list, the Awesome Pretties, here instead, for your listening pleasure, is the official theme song for the Awesome Pretties, written and performed by the awesome Brodah Fin.

The Awesome Pretties Blues

It’s no secret that you’re an awesome you.
You know I’m telling you nothing but the truth.
And you’re pretty outside and in.
Don’t deny it, ’cause you’d never win.
So you’ve got to join the Awesome Pretties. Yes you do.
Join it today. join it for you. Oh yeah. You’re an Awesome Pretty!

July 23, 2010: Sarah Robinson Staves Off Mediocrity

Sarah Robinson is intriguing for any number of reasons–including her extraordinary sense of style and her Irresistible Presence.   And then there is that other thing.  That genius sense of humor.  She has the rare ability to be wry without sounding cynical.

And Sarah Robinson is demanding—of herself and others, particularly those who are fortunate to be in her Tribe.  She challenges them and the rest of us to Escape Mediocrity, always. Even when mediocrity seems to hunt us down, kidnap us and hold us for ransom!  Even when mediocrity threatens to grab us by the throat!

Sarah and Kay will be talking about presence and change.  About Young Turks and Sarah’s Hollywood past.  And about Sarah’s unique role in inspiring the creation of the internet’s most prestigious list, the Awesome Pretties. 

A fun conversation that matters.

July 16, 2010: Michele Woodward Seeking Coherence for the Love of It!

We are extremely excited this week on Women Are Not Funny Radio about a return visit from Michele Woodward on the occasion of the release of her second book, a collection of essays called I Am Not Superwoman.  The title is an admission Kay Ballard would never willingly make!  But Michele maintains a sanity that permits her to do so, even though, possibly in her case, it is anything but true.

Michele and Kay will talk about Michele’s writing and her optimism and her relationship with Roy Rogers.  They will talk about Michele’s strongly held belief, controversial in this venue only, that incoherence should be avoided at all costs.  And they will talk about her excellent advice freely given:  Avoid falling in love with potential!

A fun conversation that matters!

July 9, 2010: Lynn Walsh Facilitates her Own Mockery

The fabulous Lynn Walsh, this week’s featured guest, has long been a friend of Women Are Not Funny Radio. She is a lovely and intelligent woman despite being hopelessly mixed up. You see, Lynn does winter during the summer and sleeps when she should be awake!  Either that or she lives in Australia.  Sydney, Australia actually!

But Lynn has traveled extensively both for pleasure and for her career as a highly sought after meeting facilitator, in Sydney and beyond.  This week she will travel here.  Lynn may find it a rather dangerous and exotic place as she swims our treacherous waters, hops along our winding paths, and jumps down our many rabbit holes.  Since Kay Ballard adores Lynn and finds her delightful in every way, you might think she won’t make fun of Lynn in her standard annoying manner.  No worries.  Since facilitation is all about making tasks easy for others, Lynn will probably volunteer to help Kay mock her.  Ever efficient, Lynn will give Kay the guidance and assistance she needs.

A fun conversation that matters!
