Radio Hour with Rick Barber 850 KOA in Denver
One of the best radio hosts and interviews I've done. Rick Barber is a seasoned professional and well-versed on many topics, even those he claimed not to know anything about such as text messaging lingo.
I had the pleasure of speaking with a concerned caller and father about the issue of cyber-bullying and it's effects on our children. We should all be so concerned. Please look up the Megan Meier Foundation website www.meganmeierfoundation.org. Megan was the teen who took her life due to cyber-bullying done by an adult posing as a 13-year old boy named Josh. What a beautiful girl and such a tragedy.
Visit www.ikeepsafe.org, a new Temptation of a Generation partner, for parent guides to Facebook, MySpace and other important information. View the series of Public Service Announcements (PSA's) on cyber-bullying. Also, YouTube the word cyber-bullying to view videos of all those who have taken their lives due this insidious epidemic.
www.netlingo.com is a site dedicated to decyphering the secret code used by teens and adults in texting and instant messaging.
Thank you Rick Barber for having me on the program! It was a pleasure. Visit his website to listen to the podcast.
