J.D. Crowley, Executive Vice President, Digital, CBS RADIO, said, “Amber Rose has an authentic and powerful voice that young people connect with and follow. RaqC and Rubi are likeminded women with strong opinions and a positive and hilarious outlook on the world. They’re a great addition to Play.it and the launch of their podcast is a testament to CBS RADIO’s focus on creating programming for every type of listener.”
“Que honor (What an honor)! It's amazing to be part of this journey where our Latino community can be represented as the enthusiastic, fun and empowering people that we are,” RaqC and Rubi said. “I love the fact that we have a platform where we can fully express ourselves on all topics unapologetically. We are grateful to Amber and Play.it for believing in the new millennial Latino voice.”
Rose said, “These are two women that embody modern day feminism and aren’t afraid to use their voice, and I’m really excited about this project and having these ladies come on board to be a part of my family.”The “Risqué with RaqC and Rubi” podcast marks the first show under the Amber Rose Presentsumbrella on Play.it.
The author, philanthropist, and actress is the host of the hour-long “Loveline with Amber Rose” podcast, which launched in September and marks the return of the popular “Loveline” talk radio show, now in a contemporary format.
Featuring Rose in her distinct and refreshing personality, the show explores topics ranging from sexual curiosity and relationships to self-empowerment.
In each episode, she and sex therapist Dr. Chris Donaghue chat openly with other sex counselors and special guests as they discuss stories and topical issues, as well as take listeners’ calls so they can share their personal experiences in a judgment-free environment.
