Talk Radio

"Talk Radio" is female-driven broadcast comedy centered around Super Loco "Amanda" Gorman Rodriguez, a mixed-race journalist and Army veteran. She is a no-nonsense individual who treats everything like a mission. When you're Amanda, you go hard or go home. Amanda is taking over programming at WJR 760 Talk Radio in Detroit. The owner wants Amanda to change the station from its dwindling liberal listenership to a more robust conservative following. Amber reviews the station’s content on the basis of “morality” which triggers a free speech backlash and a showdown with Amber and her staff. It becomes a battle between Amber’s hard-nosed conservative mandate vs. her co-workers' liberal goals to be “evolutionaries in conscious media.” Cancel culture itself becomes a core storyline for the show as both sides routinely battle for moral supremacy. Now add office politics and interpersonal relationships with an egotistical anchor, transgender DJ, ambitious supervising producer, hapless reporter and a sardonic assistant. And don't forget the villain who runs the rival radio station in the same building. At the end of the first season the reward for the viewer will be more than just laughs. It will reveal how cancelling people - conservatives or liberals - is harmful to us all, and we can strengthen society by treating all people fairly. The sharp ensemble cast is buoyed by fast-paced dialogue combined with physical humor and visual gags. Quick-witted and farcical, each story line involves satirical takes on historical events, news stories, and pop culture references.
