DVR Alert: A women-focused "Inside Story"

So you weren't one of the lucky -- or well-organized -- people who snagged a ticket for the 14th Annual Pennsylvania Conference for Women, taking place on Oct. 3. And you're kicking yourself harder after realizing you'll be missing the chance to see powerhouse TV mogul Shonda Rhimes interview Michelle Obama, among dozens of other highlights at this year's confab.

Here's a consolation prize: Inside Story this week dedicates itself to the kind of insights and advice to be had at this event. Yours truly, along with a table of other outstanding and accomplished women, will dig in deeper to help you lean in harder.

Led by Tamala Edwards, it's an engaging conversation worth watching, and it starts 11:30A Sunday.

Busting the work-life balance myths and developing real tools to thrive. Bouncing back from life's blows. Finding the best way to push forward. Beating the challenges women in the workforce still face. Keeping yourself charged up. There's something for every working woman to hear and consider.

If your conference registration already is set, consider this conversation an appetizer for what's sure to be a nourishing day.

(l-r) Mastercard's Carol Lee Mitchell, Meeks, Cancer Treatment Centers of America's Nancy Hesse,
host Tamala Edwards, Penn Mutual's Ande Frazier, Bristol-Myers Squibb's Ann Powell Judge
and Jefferson's Donna Gentile O'Donnell bring real-world notes for women looking to succeed

But if for some reason you sleep this show, here's a final save: catch it online next week, part of 6abc's conference digital guide. Take advantage of it all, and soar higher!

TV Alert: On Rizzo, Nazis, Free Speech and more

Your favorite writer-thinker settles in for another round of observations on All That Transpires in the World, but in particular in Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley and aspects of life in Harrisburg and D.C. It's time for another visit to the Inside Story table!

This week is an exploration into the ongoing bruhaha surrounding the statue of the late Mayor Frank Rizzo, the faux pas of flirtations with neo-Nazis (or any kind, for that matter), legislative "remedies" for protest aftermaths and more.

Host Monica Malpass keeps us panelists in check, the conversation flowing and you, the viewer, informed. 

Of course, yours truly plays a proud role in keeping this program the most watched in its time slot in this, the fourth-largest media market in the nation. 

Tune in 11:30A Sunday. If you happen to miss it -- gasp! -- never fear! Check out the recap on the 6abc site posted Tuesday. Just click here.

Latest TV appearance: 6ABC's Inside Story

It's been a busy week in the Greater Philadelphia region. There were federal indictments of traffic court judges, revelations of ethics charges against a popular city councilwoman, the return of a former (and disgraced) Philadelphia Housing Authority chief for his lawsuit of wrongful termination (hoo, boy) and much, much more.

Yours truly helped sort through it all as a panelist on the area's leading public affairs program, Inside Story. Catch the online rebroadcast of the Feb. 3 show. Remember: the link lasts for a limited time only. Don't delay!

TV appearance: 6ABC's Inside Story

Readers of this space who reside within the Philadelphia media market may be familiar with the punditry of yours truly offered on various radio and TV outlets. For those who live elsewhere -- or just had too much to do this Sunday or simply forgot to set their DVRs -- we share this link.

Fair warning: the link is only good for a week, so catch it while you can!

This moderator for this week's panel (both pundits and moderators rotate every week) was Tamala Edwards. Inside Story is the top-rated public affairs program in the Philadelphia market and airs on Sundays at 11:30A . . . until football season kicks off. Then, the program shifts to 10A. Gotta make time (and money) for all that E-A-G-L-E-S hoopla!

Media moment

Neglected to update this earlier, but yours truly rejoined the Inside Story panel today. The rotation is about once a month for those of us who are regulars on the top-rated public affairs program out of Philadelphia.

Tackling everything from the financial fracas that is the School District of Philadelphia to the potential sale of the 76ers, we hit a full range of issues. Don't want to steal any thunder. You can watch the entire program, including the interview with newsmaker Jerry Jordan, head of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers.

Enjoy the link. It'll take you to this segment for about a week only, so check it out quickly if you missed it on 6ABC at 11:30A this morning. And as always, your reviews and comments are welcome here.
