#Disney, Long Lines & #Autism


Tues., Nov. 5th @ 10 PM EST 

Stream the show from here


Tonight, I'm joined by advocate, Kim McClain. Kim will discuss how a trip to "The Magic Kingdom" can turn into "A Tragic Kingdom" for special needs children.

What was once a special needs-friendly theme park has turned into a free-for-all thanks to a few bad apples.

Now instead of special needs children being accommodated with shorter, segregated lines, they now have to wait with the general public.

Is it fair or foul to put these kids in this situation? Should the park revert back to the old rules which allowed these special needs a chance to avoid long waits?

Kim tells her story as she joins the Talk 2 Q Radio Show! 

Also, I'll ask my Show Legends the following: can you have an attractive roommate and remain platonic?  If you see that awesome body walking around the house/apartment on a regular basis, then will you be tempted to "give it a try?"  

We will also discuss birthdays.  What does your birthday mean?  Can the day you're born predetermine what kind of person you will be?  We'll have a little fun and find out!

Talk 2 @TheNLVampire Author, Charles O'Keefe

Tue., Oct. 29th @ 10 PM ET 

Stream the show here!

For this T2Q Halloween Special, I am joined by author of "The Newfoundland Vampire" series, Charles O'Keefe!

Despite "The Walking Dead" and "World War Z," vampires are still the most popular of the undead!  Charles O'Keefe adds to that fascination with his writings!  We'll discuss his books, North America's interests with vampires and more!

After the interview, we'll also discuss other "scary" topics:

- the scariest horror movie of all-time
- scary things that occur in relationships
- at what age does your child stop sleeping in your bed when scared?
- and probably my favorite: if you had to choose a horror movie to describe your ex boyfriend/girlfriend, then what would it be?

These things and more on the Talk 2 Q Radio Show Boo-tacular!

Ira Parker, Super Engineer! @MaximusMusic

"Super Engineer," Ira Parker

I've talked about Hip-Hop on my show numerous times and I've criticized modern artists very heavily.  One of the main criticisms that I have is that a lot of today's artists don't appear to have a background in music.  In my personal opinion, in order to produce the best sound, you have to have a taste for good music.  That includes having an ear for different genres.

How can one excel in creating a unique, new sound in Hip-Hop if all you've ever listened to in your life is Hip-Hop?  Where are the influences like Run DMC had with Aerosmith, Public Enemy had with Anthrax, or Ice-T had with Curtis Mayfield?

Well, my guest on this show understands the importance of having an ear for all kinds of music.  Ira Parker, music producer and engineer, has dabbled in Jazz, Classical, Country, and Pop as well as R&B and Hip-Hop.  He has engineered or mixed artists like Treach, from Naughty By Nature, Waka Flocka Flame, Slim from 112, Lauryn Hill and more.

I will discuss his current projects, ultimate career goals, and the state of Hip-Hop as he joins the show for the first 30 minutes.  After the interview, I will discuss the following with my Show Legends, callers, and chat room participants:

If Healthcare was tied into the public school system, then would more parents be involved in preventing their children from dropping out?  Could we kill two birds with one stone on a proposal as such?
