GREAT BAY, St. Martin (October 21, 2002) — Rhoda Arrindell and Joy Reiph-Arnell will launch a new talk-radio show here called “Conversations” on Sualouiga radio, 99.9 FM on Tuesday, October 22, 2002, at 9:05 in the morning.
Arrindell said, “the two hosts will not always agree on the topics,” which would be a fresh feature in St. Martin talk-radio that could distinguish “Conversations” among the many talk-radio shows on the island’s some six radio stations—and a feature that no St. Martin TV show comes close to entertaining. Arrindell, herself a national activist and sports organizer, lectures in English at the University of St. Martin (USM) and has a trained background in linguistics, journalism and law.
“The idea is to offer a lighthearted approach to serious, well-research-ed issues from different perspectives and targeting the average citizen,” said Reiph-Arnell. The repeat broadcast of “Conversations” will air every Thursday at 4:30 PM.
The talkshow hosts’ said that Com. Sarah Wescott-Williams, Romeo Pantophlet and Dr. Lloyd Richardson are already lined up for guest appearances. Arrindell and Reiph-Arnell said that they are very open to suggestions from the general public for new ideas on approaching a variety of topics for “Conversations.”
