A fireside chat with Ophelia.

Can we talk?

Are you sick of these lying politicians? Are you tired of picking up the newspaper just to find more vile personal insults of female politicians? Are you worried about the economy and furious that we’re in this mess? Are you so angry and upset you could SCREAM?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are hardly alone. The country is going through a real rough patch and we need to be there for one another.

Enter Ophelia.

Ophelia is here to listen and understand – not judge. Ophelia, just like you, is pissed off and needs to vent. So, can we talk? Can we share our stories? Can we try to make each other feel a little better?

The New Agenda is proud to announce our first BlogTalkRadio show, Chewing the Fat with Ophelia, Monday night, October 13, at 10pm EST.

This is a new kind of radio: internet podcasting. The “radio” is your computer — all you have to do is go to the website when the show is scheduled to start, and the show will play right there on your computer screen. (You do have to have your computer speakers turned on!) There’s also a telephone number for you to call in and talk to the host or ask a question, just like with traditional radio shows: (347) 324-5942. Plus, there’s a chat room feature too, so you can “chat” with other listeners while you’re listening to the show. And if you miss the live broadcast, a recording of the program is automatically stored right there on the page so you can listen to it later.

We’ve been reading the emails and comments from around the country and it’s clear: people want and need to vent! Call in and tell Ophelia what you’re feeling. Sisters need to help sisters in this difficult time.

Our first show is Monday, October 13, 2008, from 10pm to 11pm EST. The call-in number is (347) 324-5942. Join us!

We should also mention that Ophelia knows a thing or two about the economy. If there’s something that you have heard or read, and you don’t understand it, ask Ophelia. C’mon, admit it – you don’t know what a mortgage security is either….
