GET DOWN PSA RADIO CO-HOST - IS THIS YOU?

GET DOWN PSA RADIO CO-HOST
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/getdownpsa
Launches Online Fall 2010

Introducing the GET DOWN PSA project and our RADIO PROGRAM. Inspired by the writing of a 16-year-old girl, this project was conceived in 2008 after the Executive Producer walked away from 16 years in the corporate world. No longer content with just sitting on the sidelines, she decided to give back to the community by creating a PSA that will launch a movement. Like all grassroots endeavors, this movement starts from the bottom up. It’s independently produced, and the best part about it is that teens/young adults were involved in the production – both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Each PSA features a “where to get help” at the end, which drives to the online site for FACES NY. If viewers of the PSA are outside the NYC area and want help, they can check the project’s MySpace page (myspace.com/getdownpsa). For ongoing updates, friend us on Facebook (facebook.com/getdownpsa) and follow us on Twitter. We partnered with a great charity, FACES NY (facesny.org), for the launch. Check them out.

We have a blog, facebook, twitter…and now GET DOWN PSA RADIO! GET DOWN RADIO is about OUR VOICES, OUR HEALTH from an “edutaining” and inclusive point of view. Hosted by Anita B. a renown youth activist, mentor and entertainment industry marketing diva, GET DOWN RADIO is not just about HIV/AIDS, but also about sex, sexuality, and gender identity. We also like to show our love for people, places and things that are relevant to you, our listeners, and shed light on organizations and events that are supporting the cause of raising awareness, and promoting testing and safe sex. It’s by and about people like you, people who care about what’s going on in the community and understand how HIV/AIDS affects everyone. It’s a global pandemic.

Launching in Fall 2010 as monthly online “blog” radio show, GET DOWN will grow to full internet radio in 2011. Cycle is from Fall 2010 to Spring 2011.
