You never want to miss an episode of Swoop’s World because you never know what you’re going to hear. On September 3, 2010, Swoop’s World Radio returned to First Friday’s for a live broadcast from the Michelle Mangione Songwriters Showcase. During the interview Grace Slickspoke of her brief career as a ballerina prior to venturing off into other areas of the arts. How painful could all of that have been? Listen as she explains. Listen to the entire Swoop’s Worldinterview of Michelle Mangione and Grace Slick here.
This week our guest is Robin Keeble. Swoop met Robin last year and found Robin to have one of the most remarkable life stories of overcoming a life that some may have witnessed and written off as worthless; A life that many have lived and written themselves off as worthless. Not Robin, she persevered.
Robin was a drug addict who prostituted herself or committed burglaries for money to buy heroin. Her habit kept her in and out of jail for 22 years.
In 1996 she was released from prison and homeless. She was in La Palma Park in Anaheim, sharing needles with other homeless junkies when an AIDS Outreach Project worker approached her and asked if she was hungry and if she had a safe place to sleep. He offered her a free HIV test, food vouchers and help getting into a drug rehabilitation program.
On Wednesday September 8th at 9pm it’s going to be another great episode of The Buzz with Ray Pok! This week Swoop, Peter, and Ray are joined by Nikole A. Cababa of The Long Beach Coalition for Good Jobs and a Healthy Community.
