  Once again I sit down with @MonaDoesFunny! For the rest of my fun high-energy interview.  Mona and I talk about how Lewis Black and Dave Chappelle natives, she “flips the script” on me and somehow I am the one being questioned! We talk about maybe doing standup in a mosque, and how I am officially Mona’s 1st fan! (Still waiting on me tee shirt!)   To learn more about Mo’na go to http://www.facebook.com/MoComedy 

  As her screen name calls it, this week I sit down with @MonaDoesFunny! This was a fun high-energy interview that reminded me why I started podcasting in the first place. **THIS IS PART ONE OF TWO AND THERE WERE SOME SKYPE ISSUES** We bring back “10 Miles Away” from @OddsLanes (http://soundcloud.com/oddslane)…You know that song from that little show “The Deadliest Catch”? Than Mo’na and I go one on one, and there was no segway or intro she on the second she answered the phone! She complied about people and their bicycles (and let’s be honest…No one likes those people anyway…than she ripped on me for being white (which was fun), than we talked about her parents and what it was like growing up with an uncle the same age as you. Lastly, and the one topic that me all kinds of interested, her teaching of standup comedy to 7th and 8th graders. So listen in, you won’t regret it :)   To learn more about Mo’na go to http://www.facebook.com/MoComedy

  As u know The Recovery Room does work with Joe Joe Keys (@JoeJoeKeys) Luppy (@Luppy1) Soul Bastards Records (@sbastards ) & Luped up records (@LupedUpRecords) The fact is that our work with them is growing beyond what I can handle. So we sat down and talked, from that conversation came the birth of New Wax Podcast (@NewWax) Here is the deal, Are u an unsigned musician? Are u struggling to get your music out there?Or better yet Do u want your music heard by 2 (yes 2!) record executives? New Wax Podcast is your opportunity How it works: 1) Follow @NewWax on twitter 2) Email your songs (MP3 format ) to songs@bcdodge.me 3) Your songs will be heard and reviewed by 2 record executives 4) Watch for the episode of the podcast that your song is in. It will be played during the podcast so everyone can hear it, and a review will be included in the podcast, u might get interviewed. That’s it Are u ready? Get set…GO!! In this taste of what is to come we introduce the concept behind New Wax Podcast, than we talk about “Platinum Pedestal” from the band Never Green (@tomasnevergreen)

  We are back baby! I hope you all can forgive me for being off the last month, I have had a lot going on and I have ben trying to get everything in order. But we are back with an awesome new shows! For the first show I sit down with Luppy (@Luppy1) and we talk about the history of hip-hop. We talk about how we both were members of Colombia House Records (http://www.columbiarecords.com/); you remember them? 1 cent and you can get 10 records! We cover George Clinton and how he was a influence on hip-hop and the rest of the music world from Tupac to the Wu-Tang Clan to Eminem. I admit to having an Ice problem.   You can learn more about Luppy by going to http://www.lupeduprecords.com/  or http://www.luppymusic.com/ and you can follow him on twitter http://twitter.com/luppy1  

  This week in the Recovery Room we go back to talking to Mike and Faiqa from Hey That is My Hummus podcast (www.heythatsmyhummus.com). Faiqa asks the big question, is heath insurance a right? What do you think? If it is a right should it cover birth control? We compare apples, oranges, and pork? We talk about needing to diet, and while I didn’t say in the podcast that I need to…trust me I do! In the process I think I might have gotten a little sacrilegious. I hope I don’t offend to many people. We talk about men using the bathroom. Yes you read that right, but I will type it again…we talk about men using the bathroom, and I give a toilet training tip. Lastly, we have new opening music from Odds Lane (www.oddslanemusic.com) If you have ever watched a little show called “The Deadliest Catch” than you might have heard our opening music…   So come on in it’s time to recover! 

    This is the first show of what I am calling season 2, not sure if that is right or not, but that is what I am calling it…and if you don’t like that go get your own podcast! :P This week in the Recovery Room Mike and Faiqa from Hey That is My Hummus podcast (www.heythatsmyhummus.com) join me. We talk about my converting Islam, Halal and Kosher foods, and up coming shows for Hey That’s my Hummus Podcast (@ThatsMyHummus). Oh, and Faiqa complements me on my wonderful interviewing style! Lastly, we start (thus the Part #1) to talk about the War on Women and how things like birth control and unplanned pregnancies effect it. Also Mike reads to us from the Holy Book of Wikipedia!
