YAY! WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF PODCASTS...

Ok guys, so wow there is a whole other world out there ... and its called PODCASTS!! Download the App, the Icon is the purple image above. Thats what it looks like on your I-phone (Apple) Don't ask me about Android (sorry). So yes, once you download that on your mobile, its straight to party party party and loads of info to your noggin. This is how I started: rather than drive on auto-pilot to work, I discovered the amazing world of podcasts thanks to +helloross (Ross Mathews) of E! channel fame. His podcast is called "STRAIGHT TALK W/ ROSS MATHEWS". He and his staff are amazing! They also cover all things entertainment, and some deep issues too. And lots of teenagers listen to it, including me (tee hee yes I think like one sometimes) And as thorough as I am of course I had to listen from Rosses first Podcast .
Ok, so that was like months ago, now I have podcasts galore on my phone. And I will share with you the ones I am trying to catch up with. Being that just like blogging some ppl podcast once or even twice PER WEEK. yep.
For all things entertainment:
  • Straight Talk w/ Ross Mathews
  • Patti Stanger's Love & Sex Report - I highly recommend Patti is Sassy and speaks clearly and just like me she says it like it is. Ha
For history of NYC (this was very helpful before my trip to Coney Island)
  • The Bowery Boys
If you are a Latina or even if you are just an Entreupeneur:
  • Hispano Entrepeneur (great Podcasts-they have English and Spanish editions)
For Financial input - current
  • This week in Barron's
For all things FITNESS:
  • The Model Health Show
And for a real "juicy" bad girl one that I just downloaded hmmmm
  • The Bitch Bible  
So see? Put down the FB, stop tweeting for 2 minutes, stop Scoping (I know Gasp) and stop taking pictures of yourself for one day (Instagram) Give a massage and treat your ears to the amazing world of PODCASTS!!!
JUST DO IT (insert swoosh here)hehe

WE WANT OUR SCOPE BACK!! INFOMERCIAL INVASION

This dog who just found out you’re still holding the ball.
I mean seriously?? In the past 24 hrs. ,Periscope has turned into one giant infomercial. Rats! Just when it was getting fun. I think I may have to follow Tom Green + PP (perisope Puppet) & Sock Cop. PPL are on there now boasting on "sponsored" scopes and Infomercial after infomercial which goes something like this:
I.e>>>So yes thanks for watching
1) visit my website
2) once you get to my website make sure you register for the upcoming webinar to buy xyz

Uggghhh, I mean I own a business too, but social media should be about being social. Now I'm not saying to video tape your cat/dog/ lizard all day. But come on, its overwhelming, and this just has been going on the past 48 hrs. Its like Periscope has done a complete 360 on us, WE WANT OUR SCOPE BACK!!!
I actually had to unfollow a lady that was scoping from the D.C. area trying to get free meals and yelling at the screen how she and we hold the 'power" (I guess by giving a bad review) to the poor restaurant on the receiving end. Meaning it goes down  like this example:
I'm at IHOP and tell the manager well y'all know how many followers I have on Periscope ???
Insert surprised emoji face of Manager here
Exactly, you get it. These ppl are making Periscope not fun!
That was just one example. Then to my astonishment, after Periscope was preaching how you are not supposed to show nudity or you account will be blocked. The nerve of non other than a liquor company of making COMMERCIALS YES YOU READ IT HERE FIRST COMMERCIALS out of a "peep show".  And this is without a disclaimer folks, so basically I can have my 13 year old follow this liquor co. and watch how some lady unsnaps her bra . Yes this is true ppl. I am not making this up? and why should I?
I know we are living in a Capitalist/ consumer country , but please stop and think. Yes think before you Scope. I will repeat Think before you Scope. Or better yet dont think , dont have an intention of shoving your Webinar, Infomercial down our throats. The real People of Periscope are here to have fun and ride into the sunset. Our bottom line is not the $$$ neither should yours be.
