Mixing music and message together, Mama ASID brings you Bad Gals Radio. While tapping your toes to the streaming music, you will enjoy reading topics ranging from U.S. politics, the Caribbean, and Africa, as well as the latest news from around the internet.

Welcome to our latest website review. This week, I am proud to bring you our first blog radio. If you had the chance to read our review on the EGO blog, you will see how some of our fellow bloggers take advantage of audio files to expand the reach of their message. Our friend over at Bad Gals Radio takes this form of media to the next level.

Bad Gals Radio is a unique website mixing news articles, opinions, and radio broadcasts together to pull you into Mama ASID’s world. Much of the news articles deal with current events, focusing on the trials and tribulations of our brothers and sisters in Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States. As she states, the focus is on those who cannot speak for themselves.

With an independent perspective on the candidates and politicians, she listens to their messages regardless of their party in order to vote and voice her consciousness.

To give you an understanding of her work, let us review the two main features of her website.

When Mama ASID writes about a topic, she usually provides you multiple news articles from different sources to gain an overall sense of the issue. To give you an example, take a moment and read the article “Bloody Sierra Leone punks GUILTY – Charles Taylors’ Balls Roll Next.” Her article includes stories from New Liberian, BBC News, Voice of America News, The Liberian Journal, as well as video clips from ABC News, the UN, and other content from YouTube. All of this material is summarized and pulled together into a cohesive message. Liberia is a country you probably haven’t thought about this month, even though the country and the United States share a close connection (take a moment to look up the American Colonization Society).

The radio broadcast and streaming music ads the unique factor to the website. Through the voice of Mama ASID, you hear the emotion that completes the message; something that text cannot do alone. Her podcasts cover related topics on her site, as well as website reviews, shout-outs to EntreCard members (through her EntrePod recordings), and discussions with others. On today’s EntrePod broadcast (which lasts 30 minutes), she covers over ten websites by highlighting what the sites are about, with examples of topics they could discover. All of this is mixed with humor and sound effects, including one of my favorite clips from the move “The Fifth Element” (I’ll let you listed to the broadcast to see if you can find it). The streaming music is a mix of Caribbean and African music, exposing you to a style that you might otherwise never come across in your daily lives. While doing my research on her website, I had the music playing in the background and found myself tapping my toes along with the beat at times.

Bad Gals Radio is not the only site that Mama ASID operates. Her empire includes a MySpace page, a mirror site at Mama ASID’s EntrePod, and Recycled Frockery. If you are interested in Bad Gals Radio, you might want to visit her other sites as well. I do want to point out that the Bad Gals Radio website views better through Firefox than it does with Internet Explorer. With IE 7, the background images are slightly skewed, making it difficult to read some of the text on the screen. Additionally, it should be noted that Mama ASID has been bringing you her opinions since 1999, but due to a database failure in October, the older material is no longer available.

So take a moment and drop by Bad Gals Radio.
