Russ Parr is a syndicated radio show host . The title of the show is the Russ Parr morning show. Recently, Russ Parr made various comments about Tavis Smiley in relationship to his Poverty Tour.

During the a recent show, Parr seemed to imply that Smiley is crying because President Obama has not appeared on any of Smiley's shows nor invited Smiley to the White House like past President have done because is a high profile black media person. Parr adds that Smiley and Cornell West may have a hidden agenda and , Parr makes reference to his book. In the book, one chapter talks about the politics of Smiley and West.

Although various members of the morning show crew felt Smiley was just a token because Smiley has appeared on various talks shows, Smiley has always been vocal about all Presidential administrations in the United States.

Being that Smiley has been consistent in his past political actions, others still find problems when Smiley is vocal about America's current President.

Tavis Smiley and Cornell West have been on the radio recently acting like a team. This hard work has gained them success in the radio world and world of syndication.

"Smiley & West" is ready for takeoff. After a four-month pilot process in more than 60 markets across the country, listeners and stations said "We want more!"

That's why broadcasting icon Tavis Smiley, Smiley Radio Properties and Public Radio International are pleased to announce that "Smiley & West" is now officially a weekly program.

Alisa Miller, President and CEO of Public Radio International says, "Tavis Smiley and Cornel West bring a rare dynamism and authenticity to conversation, and a heart-felt dedication to invite listeners to take part in the exchange of ideas and bring wisdom to thought-provoking topics. Smiley and West underscores PRI's commitment to offer new places to discover our diverse, interconnected world, and to stimulate important conversations in American society, and we are excited to distribute it to audiences nationwide."

What started as an experiment on October 1, 2010 has become an online and offline phenomenon. Co-hosted by Tavis' longtime friend and collaborator, Princeton professor Cornel West, "Smiley & West" is not just a radio program. It's a seven-day-a-week conversation on the Speak Out Network via the website www.smileyandwest.com, social media like Twitter and Facebook, and an "old-fashioned" Speak Out Network hotline.
