Don't know if this has been mentioned but one of the complaints to the Sirius reps went something like this... you can really drop someone who has busted their ass working for 11 years. Uh really?
These people are nuuuuuuts!! They can't be forreal!

Thank you everyone! I felt Ben needed to be memorialized in WUWT history ๐
I am so glad I finally joined after lurking for so many years. I have to admit I pretty much agree with your POVโs on the show so I enjoyed reading what I was โalready thinkingโ. I personally started listening and absolutely loved Taylor and Kenny, then got annoyed with the repeat stories, SIL obsession, Kenny leaving, entitlement, fame thirst, dentist/drs and eating on air.
Fun fact: I called into the show way back when to tell Taylor if she didnโt stop talking like she did about brett, she was heading for divorce. The screener wouldnโt let me through ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Wow! It's true though- she was awful to Brett on the air, I thought the same thing..... Wish the screener would have put that call through, would have loved to hear how Taylor would have reacted!

It makes me happy that the lurkers are finally joining in! As much shit as we got for being trolls, it's nice to know we weren't crazy after all lol. Welcome!!

You guys are definitely not the crazies! I remember the day Tay started talking about "the pages" and calling everyone Trolls. If she wants fame so bad she's gotta take the criticism that comes with it... and we all know that's a rough road for her to travel down.
Ya'll are always ON POINT! Likeย Ben From Siriusย (amazing name) I'd come here and see my thoughts or theories already expressed. ย

From the beginning though, Red (who started the page) asked Taylor to come on, offered to merge with her when she started her website and was all excited about having a forum so they could stay in touch with listeners, I messaged her when she came out about TD (there was so much support for her on here!) and she's only ever trash talked us. Except saying there were clever names, we have been horrible people in her eyes.
She's never been on social media though, she doesn't interact with her fans (check JMs FB page and almost every post is replied to, I think David does a lot of it, but its still her show responding) until now when she needed something. All these "true fans" on the Fb page haven't said a word in 10 years, there has always been a listeners FB page and it gets very little action.
There definitely is a lot of critism here, there are also a ton of good points though. People that just see this place as bad, I feel sorry for. There have been some awesome discussions, both about the show and not (my whole podcast list is from here!), some great friendships have been made off the board, its just a fun little community

I agree with everything you said ๐๐ป and Iโd even add that we tried starting threads FOR Taylor with suggestions of new topics to talk about (when she left Cosmo Radio and Brett and her stories were on repeat for a solid year...that extended indefinitely even after she came out with T2). Other threads were directed in positive ways FOR Taylor and to be helpful with improving the show. It was very obvious someone from her โteamโ (still making me laugh...if you want a great description search for the post about her working at Weworks!) was reading the โpink pagesโ but glossed right over anything positive and helpful on here.
I love the virtual friendships Iโve made...and even the one IRL one I now have with a board member who moved to my town. I feel Iโve found kindred spirits here. I miss my love-hate listening to WUWT and although I feel bad for her, I am actually a little surprised that it took Sirius this long to figure out a reason to fire her. When sheโs on the radio bragging about not checking work emails for 7 years (even knowing the events they want/expect her to attend are sent there), talking over every co-host and making every interview about herself...it has always been one of those things that โmakes you go hmmmmmโ (remember that segment??).

Someone here mentioned that even though she is a national show, she's really on east coast. West coast she comes on at like 3am, so unless they know who she is, no one is hearing her, or listening on Demand. At least years ago she used to repeat, buts that's stopped. There may still be a weekend one though?

Oh snap- I saw the Love Psychic feed in passing, didn't get to read it all, but I saw your comment and it wasn't that bad. There must be a snitch who calls the Admins attention to everything.ย

Love Psychic was the worst. I loved that Carly thought she was a phony. It looks like sheโs getting a weekend show on Stars now.

Carly was so funny about the love psychic.ย I always thought she was annoying so I'm surprised she's getting her own show.

I think it was during the Stephanie or Kenny producing days? The screener said they wouldnโt put me on air and hung up (after she spoke to someone quickly). I wasnโt going to say it in a harsh way but more in a way of โgirl if you donโt stop shitting on your husband constantly your relationship wonโt survive. Be nice to him, remember why you feel in love with him in the first place. Be his number one supporter not his biggest bullyโ. I couldnโt imagine if my SO constantly dogged me to their coworkers, friends and family - especially on national radio. I felt so bad for him and continued to feel bad when he clearly moved on and she constantly bashed his family several times a day.
Had the taken my call, I feel like she would have quickly got her back up against the wall, Kenny would have joined in. When we hung up they would have continued to bash me and taken calls bashing me and opened the next day bashing me!
