I'll admit it, I don't listen to Martha Stewart Living Radio. I'm a married guy in his 30s (alright, so I just turned 30) with two-kids with a penchants for booze, manual labor and relentless blogging - so anything relating to Martha Stewart just doesn't fit my profile.
It's knowing this that I picked up the phone for a conversation with Alexis Stewart and Jennifer Hutt this morning - hosts of "Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer" - hoping to learn a bit more about the show the people behind it. Sure, I'm not the target audience, but I know they have a devote fan following... so there must be something about them.
The conversation started off discussing about a trip to the pediatrician, and then quickly turned to blow-jobs... wait a sec. Maybe I am the target audience.
What I thought was going to be a giggle-filled chat with two bubbly girls ended up to be an eye-opening and (dare I say) enjoyable conversation. Alexis and Jennifer have no prior radio experience, don't really match the "brand" of Martha Stewart Living Radio, and from an outsider's point of view, have no business being on the air.
But maybe that's why it works. They're real, not a formula.
The opposing dynamic between the two personalities (who, ultimately, both share the same core values), mixed with the type of candor that you only hear after a couple glasses of wine, makes me believe that these two are meant to be on the radio. If a half-hour conversation on the phone with these two can be this entertaining, what's a two-hour show like? I'm curious to find out.
"Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer" is celebrating one-year of broadcasting, a milestone that seems well deserved. Tune in every Monday through Friday, from 5pm-7pm ET (encores at 12am), or check out their new website... you might find something surprising, I know I did.
Alexis was good as a guest on Stern. She had a surprisingly good sense of humor. Whatever.
Sounds like Ryan is in love. j/k
I'll give it a listen if you say their that cool. Normally can't stand chicks on the radio. I hate Robin personally. Need something different for the drive home anyways. I'll give it a shot.
I've only listened to Whatever occasionally (time conflicts with Breuer mainly... also, since the Stern show came on (and since I've gotten into Ferrall), I've cut down on my listening to other talk shows), but they are definitely a highlight on the lineup. There's been a lot of attempts in the history of the radio industry to find a female equivalent to the Stern show, and I think Whatever may be the best equivalent yet.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Sirius move Whatever to Cosmo at some point, or move it to the mornings (which would make it an amazing counterpoint to the Stern show), or maybe even do an O&A-esque thing and syndicate a version of the show to terrestrial (perhaps expanding the live show to three hours, and selling the tape to terrestrial for next-day broadcast in morning drive... kind of like a release window kind of thing).
I listened yesterday and I don't get it. What guy doesn't like a blowjob? Even the bad ones are good.
You should have podcasted the conversation.
I also think Alexis and Jennifer should have you on the show. They would be smart to establish a relationship with Orbitcast.
Please lean over only IF you have cleavage. My eyes were titilated if only for a moment.
Training bras and push ups, need not apply.
Men/Beer/Breasts/Satrad ...a lovely combination.
Urg, you all make me sick. Stop listening to chick radio, it's not funny. Women don't have a sense of humor. They're on the radio to keep the guys from having to much fun and "offending" anyone. Wow they talked about a blowjob? Maybe they shouldn't be talking because they have a fat one in their mouth.
"Maybe they shouldn't be talking because they have a fat one in their mouth."
How is this board filled with so many fat, pathetic virgins? 10 to 1 this guy has an immense German porn collection hidden in Mom's basement...
I'm a fat pathetic virgin? Okay "MikeHunt". Really creative and certainly not juvenile screen name. I'm neither fat nor a virgin, you can ask your mother about that. As for you, you sound like a guy that likes to take a toot of a nice pole every now and again. And my porn collection consists of home movies of your mother being deep-dicked by multiple strapping young lads.
Heh. I guess the truth hurts, don't it?
Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
