Sex Talk Radio will go live Sunday, June 11, 2006.
HOUSTON, TX - Sex Talk Radio - an internet, interactive radio station and information-rich Web site focusing on sex, love and relationships and their impact on individuals, families and society at large — will go live Sunday, June 11, 2006.
“People struggle with sex and relationships more than any other area of their lives,” says “Sex Talk Radio” founder and host Mike Goss, “and one of the reasons is that most of the information we learn about sex is wrong.”
As a former sex addict Goss speaks from first hand experience. “I learned about sex from a number of places. I learned some from movies and music. I learned some from magazines and friends. I even learned some from the boys’ restroom wall. But it wasn’t until 30 years later that I learned that all I had learned — was wrong!” Goss says in that deep laugh of his. Then he quickly adds that he also learned, “it’s never too late to start making smart choices and that’s what I want people to remember.”
Goss and colleagues will host four call-in radio shows including:
Sunday Night Live — Sunday, 9 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. CDT: Explores a wide range of sex related topics. Using skits, humor, music and anecdotes, Mike Goss and co-host Cam Bossier focuses on giving insights to young adults about love, sex and relationships. Guaranteed to make listeners sometimes laugh and other times cry, but always think.
Relationship Tuesdays with Dr. K – Tuesday, 8 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. CDT: Young adult lives are becoming increasingly complicated at younger ages. Dr. Alan Kitay, a Christian psychologist and relationship counselor, brings his wit and humor to provide professional advice about relationships and other issues.
Relationship Fridays with Dr. K — Friday, 8p.m. - 10 p.m. CDT: Older adults sometimes need relationship advice and many times with no where to turn. On Friday nights Dr. Kitay will focus on providing professional relationship counseling to our more mature listeners.
Breaking Free — Wednesday, 8 pm - 10 p.m. CDT: “Breaking Free” is pure ministry. The focus is on helping people who are struggling with pornography and other sex addictions and the people who love them. Co-hosted by Sam Meier and Patti Cappros, both of whom know first hand the battle of breaking free and the high cost associated with addictions, use their knowledge and their compassion to give listeners hope and help for breaking free of their addiction.
Goss is the founder of Abstinence America, a 501(c) 3 faith-based, organization founded in 2001 to teach teens healthy relationship skills and the overwhelming benefits of abstinence until marriage. In addition, he has worked for the past 25 years with youth in a volunteer capacity through the NAACP, National Urban League, YMCA’s and after-school tutoring programs.
Although he sees “Sex Talk Radio” as a ministry, he doesn’t dismiss the “un-churched.” “Whether you come from a religious background or not, you can still see the effects of poor choices in relationships,” Goss says. “Whatever your age, gender, socioeconomic background or race, we all stand on a level playing field when it comes to this topic.”
“The struggle with relationships is universal, but it particularly resonates with college students,” says Goss. “They are in a critical stage of life where they’re making key decisions that will determine the outcome of their lives for decades to come and possibly forever.” That’s why two of “Sex Talk Radio’s” four call-in shows are designed specifically for college-age audiences.
Research backs up Goss’ strategy of reaching young adults via an Internet radio talk show, which he anticipates will reach millions of college students. In a study by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, 73 percent of young adults ages 18 to 24 reported learning about sexual health issues from media sources.
As someone on the lecture circuit who regularly speaks to high school and college crowds, Goss speaks with authority when he says, “Hands down, the vast majority of young adults I see are going to be successful in their careers.” Yet he’s doubtful that they will enjoy that same level of success in achieving meaningful relationships. “They have a strong focus on their educations and careers, but they’ve neglected this other piece of the puzzle, a key piece — relationships.”
That’s the piece that Goss plans to provide through programming on “Sex Talk Radio” (sextalkradio.org).
“A miserable marriage, a loveless marriage, a divorce, an out-of-wedlock birth, or a lifetime sexually transmitted disease are all things that can and will diminish the value of their hard-earned accomplishments,” Goss says.
When Goss tackles these issues, he speaks from experience. Goss says, “Unfortunately, I have first hand knowledge of the devastation poor sexual choices can bring.”
Open about his shortcomings, Goss says that he has been happily married for nine years, although this year he and his wife will be celebrating their 25th year of marriage.
Goss says, “The good news is seven of those nine good years have been the last seven. What I discovered is that we made a lot of mistakes out of ignorance and innocence in the beginning of our relationship that came back to haunt us. We were on the verge of calling it quits when my life was touched by God, and since then our relationship has never been the same.”
“I’m attempting to take these heavy subjects and add a touch of humor in order to deliver what sometimes amounts to some very hard truths,” says Goss. “I believe my enthusiasm, energy, and entertaining style will open listeners’ ears and hearts to my message. From my counseling experience, it is my sincere belief that the majority of people live out their entire lives, die and go to an empty grave while never experiencing the love and companionship they so desperately want. I want to help change that.”
