Is fat the new black? Is it hot? Is it sexy? That’s one of the things we’ll be talking about this morning on the Big Show, the first day after a week’s vacation – when most of us on the crew probably picked up a few pounds. The fat question is up for discussion because, […]
Maybe it’s the heat. Maybe it’s the economy. Maybe it’s that we have so many outlets to receive information, but there’s a lot of stuff going on out there that makes us say, “What the hell?” We call it What-the-Hell Wednesday, but trust me, there’s enough to get us through every day of the week. […]
Today, June 1, kicks off Black Music Month, and we’re celebrating it on the TJMS. I know what you’re probably thinking: The TJMS is a black radio show, and you play black music every day. Yeah, we do. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t take a month to look a little closer at something […]
Whether you have booked a cabin on this year’s Fantastic Voyage cruise or not, there’s information in this blog that should be important to you. Even though the cruise – as it goes into its 10th year – is synonymous with big fun, it is also a major fundraiser for Historically Black Colleges and Universities […]
So, today is a monumental day in “Tom Joyner Morning Show” history — it’s the day we return to the airwaves in Chicago on Soul 106.3 FM. It’s monumental for us for a lot of reasons. One, Chicago is one of our most crucial markets and a major strength for us as nationally syndicated show. […]
The topic for this morning is right up my alley because I’ve always maintained that if it’s good to you, it’s probably bad for you. I’m wary of anything that sounds too good to be true, and being addicted to something that isn’t bad falls into that category. So, don’t give me any fat-free peanut […]
Okay, ladies. Today, on the TJMS, I’m offering you a one-time opportunity to hear open and honest explanations from men about why they do the things they do. All weekend long at the pool, at book club meetings, at the kids’ sporting events, at girls’ night out and at church, the topic of conversation has […]
Professional athletes, especially those who grew up poor or middle class have a lot to deal once they sign those big deals. Once just famous locally for their skills on the field or on the court they are immediately elevated to a new level of fame they often aren’t ready for. They’ve got money and […]
I’m just going to put it out there: Y’all don’t know nothin’ about movie soundtracks. I can’t remember the last movie I went to where I came out of the theater wanting to go straight to the record store to buy the soundtrack. In fact, the last time I felt that way, there were still […]
Most of us have no idea when we’re going to die, and even if we think we know what will be written or said about us, we have no control. Last week, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died, and what their legacies will be all depends on what you read – or whether […]
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew Michael Jackson wouldn’t live to the ripe old age of 80, that his death would be sad, and tragic and lonely. But even with that premonition, when I got word yesterday afternoon that he probably was dead, and later that he was, I was shaken. I […]
As we wrap up Black Music Month, I realize that there are a lot topics I had wanted to discuss that I might not get to before the month runs out, which only makes sense because there’s no way something as rich, deep and wide as black music could be contained to one month. And, […]
