What began as a weekly 1/2 hour program on WMPR 90.1 FM in Jackson, MS in July 2003 has transformed into a place where six days a week individuals of all walks of life come to talk about their experiences, their journey to fulfillment and what's to come. Over the years the format has evolved, but what has remained the same is the show's commitment to providing a safe place for anyone and everyone.
"This show's success is not about me," says Webb, 36. "It's about the opportunity we afford to individuals to not only be talked to but listened to as well."
Though only half-way through, 2012 has already proven the most successful year of the show's history, welcoming 427 guests so far (up 50% from 2011) with over 300 more still scheduled to appear. For Webb, however, it isn't about the number of people he converses with. Also up are the number of listeners tuning in through the radio, www.blogtalkradio.com and the show's newest partner www.dcnowradio.com.
"This has been a humbling experience that gets better each day," says Webb. "This is so much more than I thought was possible for me, and I appreciate every moment of it."
Season Nine begins Monday, July 16, 2012. As with previous years, Webb will take off some time to prepare for the new season to come. July 1-14 there will be no live shows, however, featured interviews will be promoted during those two weeks.
When the show returns for the new season it will do so with a new daily line-up that will be announced on July 1st through www.conversationsliveradio.com.
