Maxim Radio 14th Show

Here is my 14th installment of my Maxim Radio Show…
I discuss two bawdy (dirty) words. PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN to this show if you have a problem with dirty words. Since slang words are a part of the language, I feel that it is fine for me to discuss their origins.

Catch me on Maxim Radio on Sirius - Every other Friday morning at 8-8:30 am PST

During the show call in at 888-99-MAXIM (62946) to participate in the game!

On the O’Reilly Factor Show Tonight

I am going to be on the (Bill) O’Reilly Factor Show tonight (Tuesday Sept. 23) on Fox News, so be sure to tune in :-) It’s a new appearance, my third, where I discuss the origins of some more political words. I think it’s 8pm Eastern and 5pm Pacific.. with repeats throughout the night.

If you see it and enjoy it, please email Bill and thank him for having me on. Here is his email: (That’s oreilly @ foxnews.com if you are viewing this post in the email).

Oh.. during the show, I may need to LOCK down the website, meaning your comments won’t show up right away… so please be patient during that time. I have to do that otherwise the website crashes from all the traffic!

Thanks!

Marina
