We have two teens on now and both are growing up fast. The only requirement is that they want to do it enough to stick to a schedule. They all find their voice as they go along. Desiree Nelson is the older of our teensshe's in her second year of college this year and she is now cross-programmed to our site at LadybugLive. The other, Rae Quigley is just starting college and has done several shows on how important it is for colleges that you do something outside the usual. There are lots of benefits for the teen who can do this, not the least of which is the experience itself. It's a great gig for any teen!

"There are people who have something to say and those who have something to sell. We are interested in the ones with something special to teach the world."
For LadybugLive, TeenTalkNetwork, and MooseMeals to continue growing, we need correspondents and readers. The process is quite simple: submissions are by email. If accepted, a reader calls, either our local or our toll free number as directed in the acceptance email, to record. What will you be recording? We are looking for: readings of original creative work, comment and commentary, and ideas for regularly appearing programming that can be done within this format. We are not able, as yet, to do direct call in shows, but shows that require listener (delayed) response are OK. All of this, of course, within the same guidelines as everything we do: Of interest to women (no particular restrictions). This format might also be ideal for some of those traditional topics, such as clothing and makeup, with a fresh "twist."
We strive to bring you the best in women's writing. And... Keep up to date on what is happening at NewVoices and LadybugFlights by signing up for our monthly announcements! |
We know online radio is new to many of you but we also know how rewarding it can be. So, if you need help to get started, don't hesitate to contact Georgia for help... And, hey! Our hosts love hearing from you!

Dear Friends and Readers,
all the elements of a documentary of one small siege
The Cellist of Sarajevo |
|
![]()
The local coffee shop where people met to discuss not only the events of the day but to arrange to buy bread at the nearby market, plan social gatherings and exchange recipes is wiped out in a single moment. So were hundreds of buildings that housed many other stores as well as generations of families. Little of the memories of this remains in the minds of people who must now find a new way to survive in the war ravaged city of Sarajevo. Steven Galloway provides the reader with a novel, The Cellist of Sarajevo, that has all the elements of a documentary of one small siege of the bombings of that city. Four people, in no way related, weave in and out each others lives, starting on May 27, 1992. That day, several motor shells struck a group of people waiting to buy bread behind a market on Vase Miskina. Twenty-two people were immediately killed and over seventy injured. Vedran Smailovic, a famous cellist, turned his anger into beauty by playing his cello exactly where the people were killed. He play for twenty two days. In a city where snipers played havoc on any person walking, this man appeared safe. This much of the story is factual. The other characters were a compilation of others Galloway read about or met. |
Arrow, a woman who has been given the job of a sniper and charged with keeping the cellist alive, develops into a character who is pleased with the role she has chosen to one who challenges every move she and others make. Her relationship with the cellist is poignant and warm. The two others, the bakery worker, dodging snipers to get to work, and a young father, who must risk his life to gather water for his family, must live like fugitives in order to survive day to day. Each in their own way are drawn into the circle of the cellist, the only morsel of normalcy that remains for anyone. The four strangers day to day existence looks into the way war changes all. People look differently at kindness, fear and desire the sameness of each day. The daily rituals of our everyday hum-drum life becomes, in itself, a way to avoid being swept into war itself. Without realizing it, the reader begins to identify with the various characters and what each must endure in order to survive. Each also must question why there is war and if what they are fighting for is worth the sacrifices. Galloway's book will be remembered long after the last page is turned.
