Creator's Parrot Channel Interview Program on Blog Talk Radio Attracts Celebrity and Independent Artists, Professionals in Arts and Entertainment, Healing Arts and Social Media To Impact Child Abuse

Sunday Brunch: The First and Last Song on Creator's Parrot Channel airing live bi-monthly on Blog Talk Radio from Newburgh, NY has had a successful beginning integrating celebrity and independent music artists and professionals; authors; healing artists, and social media professionals. The series is moving forward with more shows. Valerie Michele Oliver, the producer and host of the series, established Creator's Parrot Channel as a resource to support her interests and to generate healing energy for answers and solutions to child abuse on the planet, including the Reach 4 Freedom: Heal Child Abuse Music Project.

Interviews on Creator's Parrot Channel conducted with music artists on the January 24 and February 7, 2010 shows have received close to 1,300 listens for these initial shows within less than one month (live and podcast on-demand inclusive). The Channel's profile page to date has approximately 5,000 views. These accomplishments occurred without an advertising or publicity budget.

”The "Sunday Brunch" program is another way to add more power to the Reach 4 Freedom: Heal Child Abuse Music Project," stated Ms. Oliver. "Professionals and listeners can support answers and solutions to help end and heal child abuse by participating in or listening to programs on Creator's Parrot Channel, by contributing money to help keep Creator's Parrot Channel active like healing artist Eleanora Amendolara who paid costs for one show and is also guest co-hosting a future 'Sunday Brunch' program, by volunteering a service, or by contributing songs or money directly to the Reach 4 Freedom: Heal Child Abuse Music CD Compilation Project like the music artist Coco O'Connor. It's time for those of us with a common dream and purpose to act now and be the change we desire."
