Agreed.  I have found my new podcasts and the initial shock and interest are losing momentum.  We need to hear something soon while our interest is still alive.

 
After Kenny left, someone here mentioned Serial. I had never listened to podcasts, but was hooked after that. She's now been gone two weeks, that's 30hrs (geezus I wan to only work 30hrs in two weeks!) people have had to fill, attention spans aren't long, they'll be on to something else, but unless she comes out with some killer content, she's about to be a very distant memory.


On that note, can we please get some new topics here!! I enjoy you ladies and your thoughts on stuff, let's open up to more then Tay Talk!

If you need a podcast to try, look into The Morning Breath (very Millennial but they make me laugh), Straight Up with Stassi or my absolute favorite: The Bitch Bible with Jackie Schimmel.  All of these have had a tie in with WUWT at some point and have similar topics.  I think you guys will enjoy these.

Hey all, I am wondering what a ball park number is Taylor was getting paid At Sirius? I don't know if she can do better money wise just doing a podcast. I don't think its gonna pay the bills if she only does a podcast?
 

She use to say she didn’t get paid well though? Like oh people think we make so much money but we really don’t. 🙄

I agree. It's not that $80-100k isn't a lot, but it definitely isn't a lot for New York and having the same job in entertainment for over 10 years. It seems surprisingly low to me.

We live in the suburbs of NYC and although that would be decent with no dependents, it’s definitly not a lot. If I still lived in the city it would be “hard” to do so at that salary.

 
Is what she's paying pretty average for rent?

In Manhattan I would say so. It’s been a while since I lived there (12 years) but I had a one bedroom in a non-luxury building that cost the same. She could easily live in a less expensive place in one of the other boroughs (most of my friends are in Brooklyn or Queens) but that would certainly not look good to celebrity friends.

100.000 a year is not good pay for 10 years! Living in the city alone is really expensive. I will have search this site for the old comments about this. 
If she only made that much she could bounce back with a podcast for sure!
Remember not only did she work the mornings but it the time to prep for each show. Now she was a well oiled machine and so good at it I'm sure that was not hard. I do a radio show on FM radio for 3 hours once a week and I put time in planing all week. Its not easy, she was soooo damn good at it!!

I never got the impression Taylor put much time in prepping for shows, at least in recent years.  She'd have guests on and not even take the time to google them before interviews.  It seemed like most shows consisted of her reading headlines for the 7 things, and then rambling on about her old in-laws, or telling other repeated stories, for the rest of the show.

I agree. She didn't sound very prepared in recent months and I seem to recall her confessing to prepping a lot more during commercial breaks. I think her excuse was that she was busy working on other projects. I don't even recall many prerecorded interviews recently so it is hard to imagine her spending much time off the air working on WU.

So podcasts can make way more then I ever imagined!

Not everyone on the FB page is a sheep- who knew? A woman posted a response to another woman urging everyone to continue to call Sirius about the show- and it's gold, she is my new hero

Having trained people in call centers in many different genres, I have a little insight.
Call center employees have quotas they have to meet and they can get written up, reprimanded and even terminated for taking too long on calls.
If they know you are cancelling because the only show you listen to is cancelled and not coming back, why would they up their average time per call to try and keep you as a subscriber.
They have zero input on programming, and likely aren't even in the same building as the people making the decisions.
Managers that people usually speak to for issues have probably told them if they are calling to talk to me about Wake Up, just end the call.
What are they losing by ending the call?
A non-customer....no harm, no foul.
I am all for supporting a cause, but by now, this has likely become a joke and an irritation to the call center more than it is helping the cause.
If she was terminated from Sirius, (which seems likely, as to how it all happened so suddenly) not just the wake up show, so her coming back to any show on Sirius is likely zero.
They are also likely irritated with the calls because it is upping their need to staff the lines, costing them more money.
Irritation and higher cost usually does equal giving in, it usually does the opposite.
Plain and simple, it is like telling the person at the drive through window at McDonald's that you don't like the way they process their products.
These people make minimum wage or slightly higher and could really care less, and probably laugh at you with their co-workers between calls.
Facebook posts and tweets are probably a better option as there is no urgency or need at all really to answer a post, therefore it isn't hitting their bottom line.
Just my 2 cents.

Nice! Very well written...the FB wolves probably tore her apart.
