The One: Janet Powell Is Philly’s Top Female Talk Radio Host Today

Word is, she’s not afraid to speak her piece and reflect on where any community is and which direction that community needs to go. I’m speaking about Janet Powell Dailey, radio personality, media professional, and advocate ending disenfranchisement and lack of tourism. Janet’s House, formally founds at 1540 am, is on air live Sundays from 3PM to 5PM at downtownhottradio.com.  Janet’s House is a program that can help shed some light on coping with a specific problem that any neighbor might face.

Powell often times talks about Philadelphia’s youth and the city might soon lack young professionals.  She often talks about how children must battle horrific conditions to go to school.   She likes to help out where kids are afraid to walk the streets, and when they feel like they must join gangs to survive. When life starts to become unbearable for teenagers living in Philly, or any major city, Janet has a lot of discussion tools to support needed guidance.  One such discussion tools that she uses is her trade as a mortician.

A third generation mortician, Powell enlists the help of some of her funeral director friends who witness the same street trouble to collaborate with each other to do something about gangs, gun violence lack of interest in tourism, and disenfranchisement.  Her actions have done so well that eventually it led to what’s called “The Wake-Up Campaign” for Philadelphia, PA.  Janet has worked with several radio stations, television groups, school districts, churches, and other youth organizations to discuss broadcasting and becoming a licensed broadcaster. She also has discussed health, and having a better life in general.  Janet, at one point in time, traveled to Los Angeles to present the message to school age kids and adults. 

Interestingly, Janet has brought caskets and students on stage together to send the message of "thinking before one act" as a real life lesson.  Reducing violence in the lives of children involved in gangs has worked very well because of Powell’s style of proactive work.

She is involved in the full education of fashion service, beauty service, radio service, community services and funeral services.  When she is not doing radio work Janet maintains the good name of the funeral home of Powell Mortuary Services.  The Powell Funeral Home was founded in 1929 by Janet’s grandfather, Thomas L. Powell in Philadelphia, PA. When Mr. Powell passed away it was Janet’s mother Isabelle who took the lead responsibility of operating the funeral home.

Uniquely, Janet became the renowned facilitator for educational workshops both regionally and nationally today. She consults with the local funeral associations as needed, as well as the National Funeral Directors and Morticians Association (NFDMA) at their national meetings and events.

Once a month she focuses on end of life issues.  And at anytime during the radio show she can talk with her callers about the need to believe in having an entrepreneurial hope.

She also is involved with recording and has established Warm Wind Publications and Records.  She has published the book named “Gone! A Children’s Book.”  She is also the author of “Evergreen Dust: A Book of Blackenized Poetry, “and “Black and Red.” For more information about Janet Powell and her radio show call (215) 868-9221 or contact her at Janet Warm Wind Powell@facebook.
