I really hope that she is reading this and reaches out to let us know wtf is going on. honestly, the show did get a little slow after Kenny left, but I thought that it was really just settling into itself again and then this?! If she is no longer employed w/ Sirius she will not be back on the air with them. However, I think she needs to take the advice of many here and start a podcast ASAP even if she doesn't keep it forever she needs to tell us what is going on ! Even if she cant get into details etc (as usual ...) we deserve to know I am absolutely devastated!!! Similar to how I felt when Dr. Jenn left. I can't handle this one honestly..... I am really upset about it.
She said on IG she will update when she can. I was let go from a major company a couple years ago and in order to get the severance package you have to sign a paper saying you will not discuss the company or the package received with anyone. I am assuming Taylor is being smart and wanting to speak with her lawyer before saying something she shouldn't. She has been with Sirius for a long time and I am sure they didn't leave her with nothing.
Maybe they gave her a year to get the show on track after Kenny left and the numbers just weren't there? Either way, I don't think we will ever get all the details because of potentially signing a NDA to get a package. JMO
.... I know. It just sucks. I get that she might not be able to give details but SOMETHING would be nice. Im just pissed. lol

I'm sure we will hear her version of what happened in a few days at the latest

ALSO - I get peoples complaints here about the show a lot of them are valid but I don't understand how the F*#% Dr. Laura and Jenny Hutt still have shows on the air but Taylor is out? Maybe I am just being biased because I do love the show, but these other people are so boring and awful to listen to. Makes me think that it does go deeper than numbers and ratings. To do it so suddnely and not let her give a proper goodbye, etc... is very suspicious.

I agree she needs to get something out quick, but what really? She can't even figure out social media! How the heck is she going to do a podcast, at least one that sounds halfway decent? I'm sure T2 has the equipment, but doesn't she have a real job now? There's no way she's getting anyone to fund it because her social media numbers just aren't there. I think she's f*&#ed. I pray to somebody she's calling everyone she knows today for any kind of handout. But I bet she's laying in bed moping and calling her mom.

Dr. Laura is the worst! I can’t believe anyone follows her advice. But I think she has tons and tons of people who drink the Kool-Aid. She’s been doing it for like 30 years. She insults her callers all the time and is rude to them. How do people like that?

I think she's BS crazy....love her show though!! Its like watching a trainwreck, and the people that call just eat it up!

Jenny Hutt only has a show on Sirius because of her father. Dr. Laura has a large following I guess? I can't stand her.

If she got fired over the weekend I am not at all surprised there wasn't a show today, even if it was a good bye. If she left on her own accord that would have been different (like Kenny and Patrick both got to say good bye).
Typically if someone is fired they are not expected to come back - that's it - right then and there.
Sucks

Facebook followers:
Jenny Hutt 16k
Dr. Laura 1.7 million
Taylor Strecker 2k
Makes total sense to me. Mind boggling to hear listeners suggest Taylor needs a spot on Andy Cohen's station. Jeff Lewis Live, Jill Kargman Show, Sandra Bernhard, Taylor Strecker. Come on. Every person on this station is completely out of her league.

You know what I’m actually really upset about? No more Wider. I love her!

Im super upset about the other co-hosts too cause I was really invested in them as well. I think at this point other than Taylor herself, I'm most upset about not being able to hear Carly! I think she's hilarious. Regardless I would like something other than silence from Tay. sad sad sad

I thought the same thing- really started to love Carly. Wake Up with Carly wouldn't make me sad....

Probably moving to a Podcast platform

Matt seems like a smart kid, I have no doubt that he was already working on something the second that she made him aware. Now that I am a little bit over my initial shock and depression of it all, looking forward to hear what they have to say for sure!!

Didn't Carly just say that she extended her contract? Was she talking about television or hosting on Sirius?
THEORY: Did something happen at that Burger Bash event? Like did Taylor get wasted with Carly and something bad happened?
Offline
That’s what I’ve been wondering too?! If it’s not something to do with the trip it’s got to be something from the sponsored event! Imagine how bad it would have o be to get her FIRED though? Like...I feel like if it were that bad it would have been leaked somewhere. My bet is still on the getaway.

Anyone listen to Patrick on the regular? I wonder what he knows???

I've listened to all of his shows for the past week, nada. I'll let you know if he says anything but I highly doubt he will since he still works for Sirius and probably doesn't want to piss them off.
I'd be very interested to here from Kenny on this...

Ha! yeah, knowing the kind of guys they are....Patrick would totally dish, however, Kenny would not!

I’m sad, I was hoping the show was going to find its groove again, but it kept being the same old same old.

Ok I really just thought my app wasn't working all morning. I haven't been in here much lately but I can to see if there were other app complaints & I find this!!!
I have been meaning to come on here for a while now to say that I've been getting back into listening everyday and feeling great about the show. Taylor isn't perfect and they'll always be topics I get mad over (aka animals) lol but overall I've been enjoying the show again. This sucks. I was looking forward to hearing all about their weekend.
Ah I love dr wider and Carly!! The other cohosts too. If she got fired that sucks. Idk what it would be about but dam I hope she gets into podcasting g or something. She drew me way back on over the last few weeks and it would be sad not to listen to her in my commute. She has been posting more online and doing outside stuff.
Idk if we'll ever get answers because I hope so. It seems super sudden. :/
Guys, it had to be this trip that did her in.
She affiliated it with the show saying she would broadcast from there, but the website wasn't sponsored by Siruis. I mean sending your CC info over email? That was REAL shady and probably out of contract for Sirius. That's some major stuff. You can't say that a company you work for is sponsoring your getaway with your girlfriend, expect people to pay you $1400 and expect Sirius not to be mad about that? You are using their name and was she giving any money to them?
No abs not. This was her own greed and arrogance that caused this. She got herself fired.
I should preface that I feel terrible for her. I mean I bagged on her a lot. I didn't like the show. Said I was done. It was stale and she had no new content. But I listened from the start.
it's horrible to be fired. Especially so publicly. Especially when it was your own stupid fault.
I would want to crawl into a hole.
She better start her podcast like tomorrow. She needs to keep whatever momentum going at this point.
I noticed her followers on IG went up by 1k since yesterday.

With respect to the followers... Facebook is considered the "old people social media" now. If we were to compare numbers I would think Instagram is the more popular platform.
Jenny Hutt 26k
Dr. Laura 77.4k
Taylor 41.4k
When you compare the 2 platforms, Andy has 72k followers on his facebook fanpage and 2.3M on IG.
So I don't think its totally crazy for Taylor to have a show on radio Andy....however, if she got fired from Sirius I don't think that would ever happen.

Sad thing is with her complete lack of social media presence and savvy I just don’t see how podcasting would pay the bills for her. I think she’s going to have to take something cheesy or a regular job like the rest of us :/
