August 27, 2010: Paige Worthy Simply Is

Paige Worthy is a twenty-something free-lance writer who describes herself as an American girl raised on promises. And while promises can be a rather high octane snack, Paige seems to have the energy to manage them. And her words have energy. She blogs brilliantly at paigeworthy.com.

Currently Paige is in transition–major life transition—involving changes of her choosing and some decidedly less so. But Kay and Paige won’t talk about that. A conversation about major life transition in a twenty-something life might be compelling—fascinating actually. But true to the nature of this annoying show, they have decided to talk about supermarkets and grocery buying and grocery eating instead. And Paige has promised to share her very unpopular recipe for Laptop Scrambled Eggs.

We’ll have a musical interlude by a Women Are Not Funny favorite, British guitarist Matt Stevens.

A fun conversation that matters! (Begins after 1:20 of totally dead air. Kay is a tech genius who can’t edit audio.)

August 20, 2010: An Hour with @LilPecan, the Social Media Guinea Pig

Emma Devlin is @LilPecan, except when she isn’t.

Surely you know @LilPecan, the cuddly rodent widely revered as the Social Media Guinea Pig. She’s a guinea pig, alright, but her behavior is relentlessly human.  Because @LilPecan is much, much more than a mere nom de plume.  It is a wizard example of an amazingly effective social media brand. And Emma Devlin is the amazing woman behind the genius brand creation strategy.

So this show which features a visit by both, Emma and Pecan, one and the same, is on the occasion of Emma’s entry into her important new career, financial planning.  She’s making exciting plans for the new venture.  Naturally we scheduled our conversation so as not to interfere with Emma’s studies for her Series Six qualifying exam.

Will there be scat dancing?  Will Kay chastise Pecan for her continued use of the hashtag “#poop”?  Will we finally learn the truth about “Booze Santa?” Who knows?

One thing we do know is that we will spotlight a fabulous indie band, the Pernice Brothers, who like Emma, hails from Bostonish. Thank you, Joyce Linehan and Ashmont Records!

Please join us for a fun conversation that matters.

August 13, 2010: Paula Kelley and the Kiss of the Camera

Comedian Paula Kelley proudly proclaims she has offended many people’s mothers. And we totally believe that is true.  But she better not offend Kay Ballard’s mother. Oh no! That is Kay’s job.  And since it is so easily done, it leaves her with plenty of time for a conversation with Paula about “mother friendly” content and how to produce it.

Paula is an expert at the production of quirky, humorous videos. It is totally unfair, but the camera actually loves her. Who better than Paula to be the featured guest on this episode devoted to celebrating the launch of Women Are Not Funny TV? It’s the YouTube channel dedicated to bringing a new audience to Women Are Not Funny Radio? Kay asks Paula the 200 Stupidest Questions about how to create engaging video content and reveals to Paula, and the world, that she has, herself, become a video marketing genius.

The replay of this episode features Paula’s song, “You Gonna Make It?” along with uninvited white noise of unknown origin. Please listen to the beautiful song here on this little player.

August 6, 2010: Donna M. Butler is Good for What Broke You!

Get ready for fun!  Our featured guest is the extremely popular and highly original, Donna M. Butler, the co-founder of The Broke Wives Club who uses a wide variety of social media platforms to encourage her members and other fans all over the globe to go “from broke to stoked.”  She is the poster child for high aspirations in the impressive way she has stepped out to lead women in The Attitude Shift through her highly rated internet radio show with the same name. She is a self-taught expert in leadership by humor.

Donna is also the glamorous mother of seven and grandmother of five—a new media grandmother who can be seen on YouTube amusing viewers with fashion advice and inspiring them with empathy and her vision of sisterhood.  Donna makes her home with the husband she calls “Daddy-Man” in Zachary, Louisiana. Women Are Not Funny Radio is excited to have Donna make this show her home for the hour.

Kay believes that Donna’s optimism should not go unrewarded, so she asked fabulous indie musician, Christopher Sauter, of J.E.L.L.i for permission to play his awesome cover of “Over the Rainbow” for Donna on this show.

A fun conversation that matters!
