Leesa Dean: Sometimes Entering the Fast Lane Means Slowing Down
Adventures in Digital Series Land #116
by Leesa Dean
Things are getting intense. In a good way! My radio segment *just* went live on AM radio to a pretty big audience! The show, Lele’s Week in Review, is a 90 second parody of entertainment news done by my character Lele. I write, produce and voice it. It’s A LOT of fun. And a lot to do. I bang out/record a new episode every single week.
Two radio stations have it: Rhythm 105.9 in Yuma, CA and now WWRN 1620 AM Urban Classics (as part of the Just Wake Up Morning Show every Friday at noon EST) which is in Lehigh, PA. They’re both syndicated out to smaller stations. Total listeners so far: about 250,000. Not too shabby.
WWRN started as a digital channel, I met them when they interviewed me aboutChilltown, I had just started the segment with Rhythm 105.9 and they were interested. WWRN kept growing and growing and now, it’s finally made them jump to AM. Cool factoid: WWRN is co-owned by former 1990’s phenom Damion “Crazy Legs” Hall from the R&B group Guy. I feel it’s a real opportunity for me to increase brand awareness.

WHAT A LONG, STRANGE TRIP THIS IS
by Lew Ritter
The title above is a slightly altered borrowing from a tune called TRUCKIN, sung by a band popular in the 70’s called the GRATEFUL DEAD. I chose it because the best way I can think of describing my current screenwriting Odyssey is that it indeed has been long and strange.
Why have I continued to write after all these years? Years ago, I went to see the then brand new Melanie Griffith movie WORKING GIRL. My friends laughed when I told them that someday, I would write a movie script that everyone would want to see at the movies. They scoffed at the idea, but as the saying goes” revenge is a dish best served cold”.
