{Bessemer, AL-6/11/10} What started as a show for one radio station for a few months of airing has turned into a show for 30 stations across the United States as well as Canada and Australia. When Mickey Bell produced his first show, little did he know the doors that would open for his unique approach to a Southern Gospel radio show and it would last one year. “I knew first of all that I wanted to be myself. Too many times we present our field of music in a strict way and if we dare poke fun or laugh at someone in the industry then we are simply being non-Christian. In fact, I really think God finds himself laughing many times at the things we do in the Southern Gospel industry. He certainly gets blamed for a lot of it,” says Bell. The approach Bell takes in producing his show is very scary for some but funny for others. His time spent traveling and playing the music has afforded him the relationships and the “inside” scoop of what is taking place in the industry. The scary part comes in when he starts sharing what he knows. “Mickey has a problem in speaking before he thinks about what he is saying,” says Wendy Bell, “But what some may call offensive, others call great radio.” After one year, TWGM is becoming a very popular program that is being played on more secular stations than Southern Gospel stations. The show is free to air and is a fast paced program with a lot of opportunities to laugh while enjoying the great sounds of Southern Gospel Music. As part of their one year celebration, TWGM will draw the names of four listeners from those who register online to attend this year’s National Quartet Convention. In addition to tickets, other listeners will win free CDs and DVDs from their favorite artists.
