And I feel bad for all the co-hosts because if WUWT is cancelled, they are cancelled, and probably for something that isn’t their fault!

there is a pro-taylor support page on FB

 

 
Apparently we are still known as the pink pages HA

Someone asked for the reasons to be summarized so a woman explained why, and I guess it was considered unsupportive and this was her reply.. haha

"I think this "Support Group" supports her needing a raise. I actually was a listener before and after Kenny. I'm not going to lie, no shade towards Kenny, I like what Taylor did with the show. It's hers. Obviously we are all obsessed with her. I never felt like the show was ill prepared. I always envied Taylor's ability to make the show feel effortless, remember the show was at 7am! Taylor was probably up at 5am. Ummmm, that's crazy and she deserves a prize just for waking up at 5am. Also, I never noticed her getting guest names wrong? This is a page to support Taylor.....Maybe you should take/keep your opinion to the dark pink pages...thanks bye."

Wait, is this the "dark pink pages" because it's actually a dark pink color, or is everyone evil because they give thought out criticisms and aren't all about blind complements all the time?  

"She deserves a prize for getting up at 5am."  

Some actually started #StreckerStrong on IG. People get fired. It happens.

She's not a natural disaster or tradegdy! Or. Oh. Maybe.....

Yep. I'm sure Sirius had a good reason to fire her; angry phone calls generally aren't going to do anything in that case. I'm not canceling my subscription and I'm not going to abuse the workers. There are probably some great shows on Sirius that I've never given a chance because I had Wake Up. So, today I'm going to snoop around the app and see who else is on that I might like.

JFC... this has been a bone of contention for years. Literally everyone I know that works dayshift gets up at 5ish to work at 7a...and they work a full day.

It's like they don't get it, that the comments they're making in that group are the exact reason this page exists lol.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I will be cancelling my subscription today.In fact, I'm calling right now. I only had this subscription to listen to the show in the mornings. This show helped me get through a rough commute and a stressful environment. I've been a loyal listener for years. I am sad and will miss everyone. I think she is marvelous and expect great things and will continue to follow her and all of her co-hosts.

 
I think there are many that feel like you. And that’s cool. I just don’t know that it will make a difference for those who are doing it in protest. If I only listened to WUWT I would cancel too. I’m a broadway geek though and love that channel

These FB girls are crazy. No. 1 i'm sure the E sisters had NOTHING TO DO WITH T GETTING FIRED.

Are they happy about it? Sure! But it's been such  long friggin time. They are prob so over her and happy she is out of their lives.

IT WAS THE TRIP PEOPLE. At least what I thnk anyway.

I haven't really been on the board in forever but still checked it every few months and started following after I saw the ridiculous price on that trip. This is crazy, but it's not.

I think the critiques of this board is just problematic in that people want to say if you have any criticism of Taylor you are a hater. This is probably what snowballed into getting Taylor fired. She refuses to listen to criticism of any kind. Some is going to be unwarranted, but a lot is just there to encourage her to grow. I think a lot of people on this board are just trying to keep things in perspective for her.


​So what if she had to get up at 5am? So many people do for way less cool jobs for less money. It's such a white person problem.

I can empathize with Taylor and feel sorry for her tough time, but is this unwarranted? She seemed to do no show prep. She hardly posted or interacted with fans on social media. She spent half the time on her show complaining about how much work she did and repeating old stories ad nauseam (not appreciating the cool opportunities Sirius opened up for her), not to mention talking about things she can't talk about.

She had this amazing platform from the time she was 23 that so many people would kill for and work really hard for. She definitely got fired because she would have known ahead of time if the show was going off the air like Patrick did, but I feel like if it was the trip they may have been looking for reasons (although I completely agree that the credit card thing is a huge legal debacle for them if Sirius could be liable).

I don't blame them for looking for someone else to take her place who has talent (like I think she has) but also wants to work hard to develop themselves and grow their talent/fan base. The latter is what I feel Taylor was missing, which I know a lot of you have alluded to as well. I hope she takes this as a wake up call (no pun intended - I hate myself for that one) to get it together, appreciate the opportunities she's been afforded, and stop the coasting and entitlement.

I just found this board in my search for news about the show.  I have been a listener for 8+ years and am extremely sad that the show is gone.

With that being said, here is my conspiracy theory:
I've read that Carly announced her contract had been renewed on Friday and then Taylor and Carly hung out on Friday evening, right?  Is it possible that Taylor found out the terms of Carly's new contract and that it upset her?  Maybe Carly was offered a sweet deal that rubbed Taylor wrong??  I love both gals and I hope that wasn't the case, but that's the first thing I thought. 

 
Welcome!! Also...great theory!!

I had no idea how obsessive some of these girls were... I think they think we are evil. But they want to start a Patreon with their Sirius money

They'll be seriously disappointed paying for that when she quits it after a week!

ETA ~ They are also wanting to go to her sponsors, tell them bought all their stuff because Taylor told them to and see if they'll cover her podcats

You know.....Carly is the one of the only co-hosts that has been completely silent about the whole thing (I think- not sure if Clay has said anything) Lori replied about stuff, Emma replied to me personally when I posted to her, and Rob, too. Carly didn't reply to a single thing on her Insta yesterday which surprised me because I thought she would be the one saying the most, she is just kinda blunt like that. But didn't acknowledge any of this yesterday (that I saw at least). I wonder.......
 That’s a good theory!

 

Yes!  I think we need to discuss this theory a little more!  Now does this tie into her "bad Thursday morning with Katie" quip?  Or was there maybe a snowball between that and a possible Saturday night drunken comment that led Taylor to quit or make an ultimatum?

What’s a Patreon?

I really wish Taylor had more of a social media presence, we've all been saying it for so long and this is why...she needs that now more than ever. I hope she can get through this without losing her following.

I definitely think she was fired, she didn't quit and then get all sad about it.

But also, getting up early for work is not a "white person problem". Plenty of my coworkers are black, Asian, European, Latin American, etc. and we all get our sorry asses out of bed early to do our jobs. Getting up early maybe kind of sort of sucks, sure... but it's universal in our culture of working for someone else, on their schedule. Maybe you meant "first world problem"?

To be clear, I think you are taking me too literally on white person problem. I simply meant that she shouldn't be heralded for it because it's not a real problem. I was not trying to make a comment about other races not getting up early. I just use that phrase to make fun of myself a lot because a lot of my problems are silly in the scheme of what others have to deal with because in a lot of ways I live a very privileged life as does Taylor. Just wanted to clarify.
