Veteran Host Says Goodbye To BlogTalk Radio

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 22, 2010 -
After two years and more than 200 shows, BlogTalk Radio Host Beverly Mahone is saying good-bye to BlogTalk Radio.  

The veteran journalist made her debut in January of 2008 with a show called “Whatever! Live”.  It was named after her best selling book.   She then expanded by doing two weekly shows.  The second one was called “Passions.”  Both shows, according to Mahone, were targeted towards baby boomers living out their goals and dreams in the second half of their journey.

Among the celebrity guests appearing on her shows were actresses Nancy Cartwright, Debbie Zipp and BernNadette Stanis; actors Michael Winslow and Christopher Stadulis.  She also chatted with Satellite Radio Personality Joe Madison, known as The Black Eagle and a number of up and coming baby boomer musicians.  

Mahone says, “After spending more than 25 years in the traditional media I needed a break but was glad to find my own voice through BlogTalk Radio. It was actually kind of fun to sit at my computer and not have to worry about how I looked.  I could even work in my pajamas if I wanted to!”

Mahone credits social media sites like MySpace, Twitter and Facebook for building her audience base and connecting her with standby co-host Mitch Mitchell. During her two year tenure, more than 10,000 people have listened to one of her shows.  “The only regret I have about leaving,” says Mahone, “is I didn’t get my share of the revenue sharing pie.”

Although Mahone is giving up BlogTalk Radio, she is not leaving broadcasting.  She has signed on to become host of a new radio talk show on WCOM-FM Radio in Carrboro, NC.

The last show for the veteran journalist on BlogTalk Radio will be Sunday, April 25.
