The Ultimate Planet Awards -MLR Commentary Podcast

Yesterday, we attended the "Ultimate Planet Community Awards Ceremony" brought to you by Planet London and sponsored by TelloFilms at the ever-so-posh SWAY Bar in London. Months and months of planning by Katie & Naomi Bennett-Hall to bring the community together and celebrate each other in such a positive, supportive and amazingly classy way. The hosts of the evening Lara King & Madge Hooks were thoroughly entertaining, the presenters Lady Phyll, Ingo, Rosie Wilby and Amy B were so fun, keeping the audience engaged throughout and…. the food: TO DIE FOR! Incredible entertainment from Grey Matter, Miri, and a rockin' After Party. MyLesbianRadio (Denise & Jemma, basically…) were invited to record a running commentary- "Eurovision"- Graham Norton-style in the hush tones, over the live show, kind of like the grumpy old judges up in the balcony on The Muppet Show, but…..in lesbian clothes. So, enjoy! Share, post, leave us a comment, or introduce yourself to some old shows and then to us! DeniseAndDonna@gmail.com Let us know if you want to sit in and guest co-host via studio, phone or Skype! We're all about the LOVE, ladies!

One on one -with writer, actor singer Haviland Stillwell

Maybe you know her from "Easy Abby" or the SHE4Me video, and maybe you've seen her on the NY stage- but right now you need to get to know Haviland Stillwell as a sexy, singer - with her new EP "Spark"- available on iTunes. Filled with high energy, pop, dance mixes, written by Haviland herself, it's the perfect summer time blend of hot & cool. This is my one on one chat with Haviland as she gets ready for the big launch….

Meet the talented and funny British out comedian Rosie Wilby!

Sit back and have a listen to Denise's one on one chat with out British comedian Rosie Wilby. Rosie is one of the hardest working ladies I know, with radio shows (Out In South London and on BBC Sussex), podcasts, stand up comedy gigs, hosting Spoken Word events, doing one woman shows (The Science of Sex, Nineties Woman) with performances coming up at L Fest, in Uttoxeter July 18-21, and in August at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest. If you haven't seen Rosie perform live, you simply must- she's the smartest, thought-provoking comedian (& sometimes musician), always relatable, and can tickle your funny bone about current situations or blasts from the past. www.rosiewilby.com
