Who Are You?
by Susie Watson on March 28th, 2006
Identity - the essence of who we are. Most of us go through many iterations in a lifetime. How we see ourselves may surprise others and vice versa. Susie and Barb surprise each other with theirs, and you may, too, once you start to talk about it. Listen in, and then tell us, what does your label say?

Customer Service
by Susie Watson on March 22nd, 2006
Thing of the past? Definitely trending downward and becoming more rare, say Susie and Barb. With examples from the world of medicine, the telephone mazes of service departments, and countless retailers and restaurants, we rant on. The prediction? Those with the best customer service will win. It’s just that simple.

Why American Idol Matters
by Susie Watson on March 8th, 2006
Susie makes a case for American Idol, one of her favorite show concepts, to Barb, who doesn’t watch it. Arguments include a comparison to Reality Shows and why it isn’t, and the irony-laden comparison to the Olympics which it beat out for viewers 2 to 1. Next she takes on the music business and explains why this system is better than the current “star-makin’ machinery behind the popular song.”
