In an effort to improve the show's format and increase listenership, RealTALK! Live hosts Big Ceaz and Papi Chulo have reinvented the show. Effective March 1, 2008, in an effort to give listeners what they want and what they've come to expect from the show, and to begin tackling real life issues that are important to the hosts and listeners, RealTALK! Live has moved from a one day a week program to a three days a week theme-based program.
"It's really about moving away from the old format of the show, where we've been called the 'Jerry Springer' of BlogTalkRadio, to a more appropriate yet just as crazy show," stated RealTALK! Live creator and host Damon "Big Ceaz" Ceaser. The show's theme-based format now includes:
"Hot Topic Tuesdays": A break away from the shows normal format, hosts and listeners bring to the table issues affecting their communities. Tackling subjects such as "AIDS in the Black Community", "Gays in the Church", and "Runaway Politics", the hosts, guests and callers deal with real issues affecting real people.
"Grown & Sexy Wednesdays": Keeping in tradition with the Jerry Springer-like show, talking with performers in the adult entertainment industry, talking to callers about there deepest, darkest secrets, and being subtly raunchy while keeping in line with BTR's programming policy.
"RealTALK! Thursdays": After hearing the one hour shows on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the hosts hope to have listeners thirsting for more... a two hour show with more of an anything goes type approach to interviewing, with guests ranging from up and coming Hip Hop artists to established gospel artists, politicians, and teen money makers.
All shows start at 11PM Eastern/8PM Pacific. Upcoming guests include Richard Mann (3/5/08), Maryland Musiq's own Tae Barz (3/6/08), and gospel sensation Tarralyn Ramsey (3/13/08).
In addition to changing to a theme-based program, RealTALK! Live has changed it's site. While still hosted on BTR, the new site is http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rtlive, a departure from the previous "realtalkbigceaz" in order for the founding host to take the spotlight off of himself and place it on the team.
