March is Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day came and passed. We mentioned nothing about it on purpose. Why? Because we celebrate women every single day.
75 Radio is one of the few shows with two women on staff. We revere them so much, we call them the First Ladies of Radio!
Heather Powers McBride cut her teeth in the bloodsport of New York City politics and the media. When I (Scoop) would talk to Heather to book Andrew Giuliani, I was thinking I would love to have her on the show! And unfortunately for her she agreed! Heather has been a great host, and a great Correspondent. She has brought a new level of professionalism to the show.
In 2023 I had the privilege of meeting Danila Rodrigues. Besides a model she is also a fitness trainer, bodybuilder, medical professional and entrepreneur! I came up with the idea of a Radio Spokesmodel to promote 75 Radio with Danila and only Danila in mind. And to my shock; said yes! When I introduced her to the world, I also brought on Charlie LeDuff! It was a show for the ages! That night, I knew Danila was one of us! Besides a spokesmodel and contributor, Danila has helped me with a social life and even how to dress nicely!
Then, there’s Liz; our producer extraordinaire. She has the thankless job of making us sound professional. We have last-minute guests, bad reception, cancelled guests, dropped calls and Charlie LeDuff! Add our bumpers and commercials, its a mess, but she makes it work!
And were still not done. This year, I met two more amazing ladies at CPAC; Diane Lewis and Brenda Alvarez. They were friends of Mike Rakebrandt. As soon I met them we all became instant best friends. They were also instantly our most die hard fans! Come to think of it; they are our only fans! I had a blast hanging out with them! I And like everyone else, I put them to work; Diane took pictures and Brenda gave me a chair for guest Karoline Leavitt on Liberty Roundtable! That Saturday, I did the show from their hotel room. I was an absolute blast!
Also at CPAC I ran into some other awesome ladies I knew from the radio world and outside world. I met the lovly Jennifer Kefauver last year. She puts food on her family’s table working in politics. Its a cut throat business dominated by men and she does it very well and is not like so many fake, phony frauds that I meet at these functions. She is down to earth and real. She is a joy to be around and I can’t thank her enough for inviting me out for dinner.
And as my radio and social life get more and more intertwined another friend I met through Ed Huebner and Danila was Alessandra Griffitt! She was also at CPAC! And like the previous ladies, I always say that conservative women are the hottest! She couldn’t be any nicer. She invited me to dinner on Saturday, but I had to do the Cesspool and 75 Radio with Diane and Brenda. But; don’t worry; I got a plan where 75 Radio has their own after party at CPAC! I’ll save that for next year.
Then there’s one of newest and best guests. We don’t like politicians. But we booked a citizen running for public office. Shannon Stephens. Like all the ladies previously mentioned already, she was a dynamo. Mike booked her. None of us told the Stephens camp or each other any of our questions. And she answered every one of them; honestly without any of the bs!
And there’s all the ladies I had the pleasure to meet through Ed Huebner, Danila and their friend Luciano De La Torre. Gorgeous, intelligent and hard working. They all have jobs. Many more than one job! Many of them immigrants. And all patriots!
Special shout out to my friend Gracie Pearl. She has been through a lot to last many lifetimes! And she still is on top of her game! Gracie gave me a blunt reality check to get my stuff together! See the results above! She is still fighting and is a big fan of 75 Radio!
Then there’s my “work wives.” The ladies at my “real job” who make me laugh and make the time go by. I’m like that gay best friend of ladies in the movies! But; if I had the chance………nevermind!
Ladies; thank you for all that you have done for me, for 75 Radio and all of humanity!
