Podcast Description
Honest, informed and insightful, Sunny James never insist that you look at an issue a certain way as do so many mainstream media "big voices" from Washington, D.C. She's seen plenty of them crash and burn. Above all else, she wants her listeners to think. There are great stories out there that should register with people a little longer, Sunny shares those stories with her listeners and encourages them to find it and "read more about it." Whether it's a small news items that may have been missed, new book or music titles or stories about how people are living differently, Sunny challenges you to change your paradigm.Sunny says, "There is never enough time to share an item in its entirety but I send my listeners on their way knowing where to find it and hopefully giving them an understanding that there is such a small portion of what's going on in the world that's actually delivered to their front doors or that people tune into at 6 and 11." In addition to the headlines and an occasional commentary, her show features: "On the Street," where simple questions are put to pedestrians who offer not so simple answers, "Sunny's Good Word" to expand listeners' vocabulary, and she geographically questions "Where in the World Is . . ." which sends listeners to their maps and atlas (and yes Google if you have to) to find the new and maybe the familiar. The show is capped off with an interesting bit of music-- the paradigm twisting "For The Musically Stuck in a Rut"--for those folks who haven't listened to anything new since high school. Whatever your political or social beliefs and standing, Sunny enlightens your world. So, what are you waiting for? Go, Listen! The Sunny James Show comes in your ear. www.sunnyjames.net and on twitter sunny_james

Like I said during the show, Barak Obama is a politician. And politicians say and do whatever they have to in order to get what they want. In Europe he was one thing and in Latin America he's something else. As noted by the following excerpt from The Washington Post. Just wanted to prove my point! UPDATE 4/18/09 "PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago, April 18 -- In presenting himself at a summit here as an equal partner to Latin America, President Obama is drawing on his race as evidence of U.S. social progress and of his own affinity for the region's poor. Race occupies a far larger and more troubled place in Latin American politics than it does in Europe, where Obama rarely mentioned his ethnic background this month during his first overseas trip as president. He is doing so more often here at the Summit of the Americas, in part to push an agenda that, among other issues, seeks to address the region's income disparity between rich and poor, the widest in the world. In talking about his race and the backgrounds of his counterparts, Obama is associating himself more closely than his predecessors did with Latin America's indigenous, black and mixed-race underclass, which has long identified the United States with economic policies that benefit the elite of European descent far more than them." | 4/17/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Sunny James Show #39-08 | Welcome to Show #39-08 Thanks for listening everybody. Don't forget you can find The Sunny James Show on iTunes News and All the Other Stuff for #39-08 -- Great email from Dave No Last Name, thank you. -- What do crayons, markers, pencils and backpacks have to do with the the orange Paypal button at sunnyjames.net? Here's the deal . . . with two kids, it's about this time of year that I start to think about September and the kids going back to school. Invariably, I think about my own upbringing and how stressed out my mother seemed at the prospect of having to buy school supplies for me. She was a single mother all of my school-aged life. And it wasn't just the pencils and notebook paper but the new coat or shoes and socks that was needed. When I was married and a stay-at-home mother, no longer working a nine to five, but a 24/7, I took pleasure in being able to buy sufficient, no, probably an excess of school supplies for my children and they will tell you to this day about my fondness for buying them new socks and underwear for back to school. And since I've been divorced, more times than not I've felt some of what my own mother must of felt as she tried to provide all that I needed to go to school, warm and equipped with the tools to learn. I know I'm not alone in fantasizing about hitting the lottery. But right after buying the new house and car for me, I've always understood the lure and desire to give something back to hard working, just-needing-a-hand-up parents and kids. An accountant tells me the most efficient way to do that is through establishing a non-profit foundation. Well, folks I don't know when I'm going to hit the lottery, but I've come to the conclusion that waiting to give back, shouldn't wait any longer. So, here's my request. I'd like to make a donation of school supplies this September--for either one classroom or an entire grade at an elementary school here in the Nation's Capital (you've got to listen to the podcast to hear why I chose the elementary school level). If you can donate supplies send me an email to get the address or hit the Paypal button and specify Sunny's Place. Lot's of people are struggling right now and I include my self in that number, but there are people who are losing their homes, or don't know where the next meal is coming from or a young mother or father has to decide between providing a meal or school supplies come September. I believe that great times are ahead of me professionally and financially. God is going to continue to bless me but, all the more, that means I can't ignore others in need. So, if there was ever a time to hit the Paypal button, it's now. Thank you.

Customer Reviews
Superb
I am in the archives now, but I look forward to each and every show. First, as a woman interested in relocating to the DC Metro area, I LOVE hearing about every tidbit you share, Sunny. I LOVE the format, how you select articles and read tidbits and encourage us to read the stories in its entirety. I also enjoy the commentary on the news articles. Keep up the great work. I also love that you are so open about your own life experiences. I feel like I am getting mentored through the podcasts!
Oustanding, Brillant
Sunny, You have a great show and great content. You are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for all the hard work and keep it up. WNW
