Public Embraces Positive Living™ Talk Radio’s Optimistic Message; Number of Listeners Quadruple in Latest Ratings Period

Newport, RI, December 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Veteran positive media broadcaster and messenger, Patricia Raskin M.Ed., who hosts and produces a Positive Living™ radio talk show in Southern New England, is the voice of optimism and inspiration to a growing audience of listeners yearning for information on how to turn life’s challenges into solutions. The official ratings for the local show heard on 630WPRO AM and 99.7 FM have doubled and/or quadrupled across all demographic groups; particularly with women listeners.

Raskin bucked the trend of negative and controversial talk radio during her 25 year broadcast career. Today, her positive messages are resonating with a stressed-out public who are facing potential job loss, home foreclosure, and financial crisis.

“I’m been producing positive media for a long time because I believe that we can make the world a better place to live. Using the media for positive programming is the vehicle I choose years ago to deliver my message,” she said.

“With all the pain in today’s society, I’m pleased that my shows are helping those who need the information they deliver.” (Raskin also hosts and produces two weekly online shows on voiceamerica.com and talkzone.com.)

As the author of a book, "Pathfinding: Seven Principles for Positive Living," she said, “I’ve never seen the need so strong for optimism and guidance than now,” she said. Raskin is also the author of "Success, Your Dream and You" and is currently working on her third book.

Raskin encourages people to do their best to stay connected to their loved ones and be socially engaged in order to be open to new information for decision-making and problem solving. Her “seven keys to positive living” from her years of interviewing experts, authors, and researchers, as outlined in Pathfinding, are: 1) Honor Your Heritage, 2) Be in the Precious Present, 3) Use your Imperfections to Perfect Your Life, 4) Honor your innate talents and abilities, 5) Focus on the Positives, 6) Respect, Nurture and Protect Your Relationships, and 7) See Miracles in Everyday Life.
