Episode notes
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit in the audience of a live daytime talk show taping? Or maybe even entertain the thought of hosting your own talk show one day? This episode of Black People Love Paramore is a riveting journey through the world of daytime talk shows. We’re joined by Shar Jossell, a renowned journalist and media personality, who lends her insights on everything from the gender politics at play, to the racial dynamics and how pop culture intersects these spaces. We share our favorite talk show hosts and engage in a spirited debate that might just challenge some of your own opinions.
This isn’t your average chat about talk shows. We’re going off the beaten track, from discussing the chaotic world of The Tyra Banks Show to the LA-New York dichotomy, and we’re not shying away from addressing the controversies surrounding some of the industry’s big names. We even delve into our own experiences attending live tapings and the importance we place on representation in media. Our conversation also shines a light on some of the overlooked shows and hosts who’ve left indelible marks on the industry.
But that’s not all! Get ready to hear about our love for shows hosted by Queens like Latifah, RuPaul, and Tempest Bledsoe. We even take a moment to explore the appeal of daytime talk shows to Black audiences, discussing relatability, diversity, and the impact of social media. We’re excited to have you join us on this exciting, nostalgic, and thought-provoking journey. So sit back, relax, and let’s talk about talk shows!
