The weather is warm again, so Taking It to the Streets is back! In this edition, I ask random men, women, boys, and girls if they watched the NCAA women's basketball tournament, which players stood out, and where they see things progressing from here as the WNBA season approaches. Of course, Caitlin Clark was a huge part of the discussion. It was a…

Jason Romano, former ESPN Producer/Senior Manager and current Director of Media with Sports Spectrum; and brother Chris Romano, a former 3-sport star, high school football coach, and boys' and girls' basketball coach, join me for a wide-ranging conversation about women's basketball--past, present, and future. When did these guys first appreciate wo…

This episode follows last week's episode of The Adrienne Ross Show, entitled "What if Iowa Basketball Superstar Caitlin Clark Were Black?" which evoked insightful responses from those who tuned in. Those who did not tune in and ignored my advice not to comment without doing so in full embarrassed themselves by looking at the title, prejudging the c…

The title of this episode of The Adrienne Ross Show will trigger some people--unnecessarily--which I already experienced in my social media promotion reel upon recording. Do yourself a favor, though: Watch before you assume my position. And for those who would ask me this question concerning the title: "What difference does it make?" watch before y…

Breitbart News International editor Frances Martel says that the U.S. must "study other countries" for a good reason: "So we can see the warning signs before they become so obvious there’s no turning around." The daughter of Cuban refugees, Martel has a unique perspective about the need to be "very vigilant" of global affairs, stating emphatically …

In this episode, I go through political happenings since the previous show a week ago. Tune in here to my breakdown of Nikki Haley's speech ending her presidential campaign, and then I DELIVER THE SPEECH SHE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN. I also discuss President Biden's State of the Union address, with all of its loudness and dishonesty. And let's not forget …

Saturday, March 2, 2024, was the Missouri Republican Presidential Caucus, as the Show Me State held caucuses in every county rather than a presidential primary. Former President Donald Trump dominated throughout the state, winning every delegate available. I participated in my county and captured some of the proceedings, including videos of the pre…

This episode entails a panel discussion for Black History Month—and beyond—of some of the works and authors who epitomize the richness of black literature, which, of course, is also American literature. Both Parts 1 and 2 will illustrate the interconnection of the poetry and lives of Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Paul Laurence Dunbar. Our pass…

Breitbart News editor and best-selling author Jerome Hudson joins me to discuss the racial tension among the Republican Party and various conservative voices, emphasizing the need to stay focused on the main thing rather than fighting over minor issues. We talk about how today's racial-political climate may—or may not—affect outreach to black voter…

Last week, I discussed recent comments from well-known conservatives Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, and T.J. Moe regarding Martin Luther King (MLK) and Black History Month (BHM)—the focus of which was how their approaches may be counterproductive to reaching people for the conservative movement whom they supposedly want to reach. That episode received b…

This episode is a message to white conservatives with a platform who are using their influence to attack Dr. Martin Luther King and/or Black History Month while simultaneously presenting themselves as people who want to expand the conservative movement or the Republican Party. Regardless of how anyone feels about either of these topics, is it wise …

This is an episode for people of faith. Many of us know what it is to have been in legalistic churches and mindsets that equated salvation with rules and regulations that were actually a form of bondage--especially for women. In this episode, I give the listeners/viewers a look into my journey through legalism. But then, I step lightly into the cur…

In this episode, I talk briefly about the end of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's 2024 presidential campaign, including my thoughts about why the best governor in the nation couldn't make it to the finish line. I also go into my detailed thoughts about a recent interview Kimberly Guilfoyle had with Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nomi…

We pick up the conversation from last week with a twist. Last week, I moderated a three-guest discussion on the topic of being a Christian single woman. This week, I’m not moderating; I get to be on a panel with two guests from last week and a new one as Kiya Cordeau moderates. Kiya is an educator, author, podcaster, minister, wife, and mother—to n…

On this Christmas week episode, I focus on something that many people don't realize: "Christ" is not Jesus' last name. So why exactly is He called "Christ"? No matter what kind of year we've had or what we're going through, the answer to that question is the answer to what we need. I also invite everyone to enter into a relationship with the Christ…

Kinyinna Stevenson hosts an annual women's conference on January 1 to start the year right. This year's theme is "A New Year, New Relationships."

Hear …

Everyone can relate to suffering a real--or perceived--wrong or simply being annoyed to the point of bitterness trying to set in. Bitterness is a thief, robbing us of joy and peace, and I believe it hinders the progress we want in our lives. We have a choice in the matter, however. In this episode, I give three keys to keeping your heart right and …

The fight to "protect children from pornographic, hypersexualized, obscene material accessible at the Cape Girardeau Public Library" continues. I have been fortunate to link arms with some warriors for children, two of whom join me onsite for this episode in which we discuss the issue, our efforts and progress thus far, and how Missouri residents m…

Last week's election losses have Republicans weighing in on the issue of abortion, which played a role in election outcomes. Ohioans, for example, voted for a constitutional amendment protecting abortion, ridiculously labeled "reproductive rights." During the third Republican presidential debate on Wednesday, candidates—claiming to be pro-life—gave…

Sailors show up and get to work when in an emergency the captain calls, “All hands on deck!” We are living in emergency times that require everyone to do their part to right the ship. No one is exempt, no one is insignificant, no one should just be standing around, everybody is needed, and everybody has a role to play. So what do you have in your h…

I believe this episode is the most important one I've ever done. The world is off the hook, tomorrow is not promised, Jesus is coming back, and God is good. I invite you to give your life to the Lord—now. Maybe you've walked away from Jesus, or maybe you've never known Him. Either way, it's time to come to His open arms. In this episode, I invite y…

In another edition of "Taking It to the Streets," I made my way down Broadway to the Mississippi River in Missouri to talk to random people. My goal was to ask them if they were elected president what would be their first priority, and I followed up with what they would do first locally if they were mayor of their city. Discussions ranged from Dona…

When I shared a random college student's participation in this show's "Taking It to the Streets" episode during which he discussed his freedom from a ten-year addiction to pornography, he received criticism on social media. Why would something that is obviously a good thing elicit mockery? Let's talk about both his testimony and what the negative r…

It's my birthday week, and I begin this episode with some reflections on turning the big 53. Then I dive into a few political topics—namely, former President Donald Trump's disturbing comments about abortion during a Meet the Press interview; Sen. Chuck Schumer's decision to get rid of the Senate's dress code, which conjures up images of Sen. John …

The second edition of "Taking It to the Streets" found me back at Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) for some conversations and connections I could not anticipate.

The Adrienne Ross Show has stepped into something new. It’s called “Taking It to the Streets.” Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be many such segments. Taking It to the Streets is about getting out and talking to random people about the issues—hearing what they think, not what other people, especially the establishment media, tell us they…

Parents will tell you that having children is one of their greatest joys, but many will also flat-out tell you it is not easy. Christian parents feel it, too. Let's face it: the world system does not espouse the values that are important to people of faith, and children often lose their way. My guests, Adam and Bethany Graves, have raised two child…

If you've been tuning in, you know I've been engaged in the fight against sexually explicit material geared at children being in the public library, namely, "Gender Queer" and "This Book Is Gay." After communicating with library staff a few times, filling out Reconsideration Forms, and having my requests denied, I took the next step and attended a …

A plethora of topics are on the table. The mistreatment of former President Donald Trump has created a wave of public support from black people. Will it grow? Mask mandates have made a comeback, and rumors of impending lockdowns are swirling. Will you comply this time around? Sen. Mitch McConnell has another freezing episode at the podium. Is it ti…

The subject of women preachers and/or pastors has long been controversial. Apostle Joseph Prude joins me to discuss this, accompanied by Apostle Dr. LaNise Reynolds, who returns to the show.

***WARNING: This is NOT an episode children should watch or hear.*** As a follow-up to a recent visit to an area library to discuss Gender Queer, a sexually explicit young adult graphic novel, I returned to discuss its policy about pornographic material as it pertains to children. Gender Queer has, for at least a couple of years, topped the list of…

What gets under my skin like nothing else? I've never publicly delved into pet peeve land before, but I do so in this episode, sharing my number one pet peeve and giving an example that might surprise some.

Florida teacher Kiya Cordeau joins me to talk about Vice President Kamala Harris's criticism of the state's new black history standards, particularly a portion stating that "instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit." Cordeau calls the vice president's response yet another…

In this episode, I share a personal health update and then get into the idea of an age limit for politicians, considering the recent incidents with Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, as well as President Joe Biden's numerous issues revealing frailty. This episode is also available to watch on YouTube. Wherever possible, please subscrib…

Going to see Sound of Freedom was a difficult decision for me. In this episode, I explain why, as well as the process that got me there. I also detail several life takeaways from the movie--without spoiling the plot for those who have yet to see it. We share the U.S. human trafficking statistics and the phone numbers for 1) the human trafficking ho…

The Supreme Court recently rendered a decision on affirmative action, ruling that race can no longer be considered in admissions practices in higher education.

Molly Koweek, who was also my student 20 years ago, is the Luxxle spokesperson and shows us how it works, demonstrating how results can be…

One problem with politics is that it causes people to view everything through the lens of an "issue." In this episode, I discuss that tendency and call for a change of heart and mind, away from thinking about life vs. abortion as an issue to wave for political gain to seeing it as indicative of morality and compassion. I take a look at comments Rep…

The Adrienne Ross Show is celebrating 100 episodes! That's 100 official episodes, not padding numbers by counting the pilot or bonus episodes.

Supporters of both former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis are quite passionate, sometimes to a fault, a truth I always knew but came face to face with again after writing articles about the two presidential candidates. In this episode, I issue a message to both factions as it pertains to my approach to the 2024 race. Hint: it does not …
