Shannon LaNier launches Daddy Duty 365 podcast

CW39 Morning Dose's Shannon LaNier tackles celebrities and fatherhood with Daddy Duty 365 podcast

CW39 Morning Dose KIAH anchor Shannon LaNier has launched a new podcast and it's geared to fathers or anyone who likes celebrity dads.

His first season of the "Daddy Duty 365" podcast includes interviews with names like Chris Pratt, Master P, Sting and Trae Tha Truth just to name a few! LaNier's goal is to go beyond the celeb's latest movie, album or comedy show and expose the fun, crazy and unpredictable lives of real Dads on Duty 365 days of the year.

Mike McGuff: There are so many mother related blogs and podcasts out there, why does there need to be one for fathers?

Shannon LaNier: There is so much negative news surrounding deadbeat dads that we have to let the world know that there are also a lot of amazing and responsible dads that are taking care of and loving their kids. We rarely hear celebrity dads talk about that side of their lives, but the “Daddy Duty 365” podcast offers that opportunities for our favorite stars to reveal the good, the bad and the funny of fatherhood. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes it’s oh so wrong, but at least they are a positive present force in their kids’ lives. We not only want to highlight our star-studded dads, #DD365 wants to help and encourage other dads to be even better fathers. We offer tips, solutions and in some cases a blue print to daddy duty 365 situations.

MM: How did you come up with the idea to produce the Daddy Duty 365 podcast?

SL: I have 3 kids and am unapologetically a present and active dad...so much so that people kept saying you have to help my husband or encourage my baby’s father. So, the Daddy Duty 365 podcast was born to help. People love and look up to celebrities, so who better for dads to listen to than their favorite athlete, actor, singer, boxer, and entertainer b/c some dads surely aren’t listening to their wives… but don’t worry, we help with that too! LOL!

MM: You have interviewed a lot of big names, what was there reaction when you started asking about their daddy duties?

SL: When interviewing celebrity dads like Chris Pratt, Sting, & Omari Hardwick to name a few, they always love talking about their kids. Most interviews give them 3 minutes to talk about their latest project, but they rarely get to talk about their most important job and the one they love the most...fatherhood. So I provide them with the outlet and they take off. I’m also always surprised at how vulnerable a lot of the celebrity dads allow themselves to be. On the Daddy Duty 365 podcast, they aren’t just saying what their publicist wants them to say, we are having real, heartfelt and thoughtful conversations. That’s a breath of fresh air!

Although the podcast is called Daddy Duty 365 and it’s for dads by dads, moms are welcome to be a fly on the wall and listen in. Even if their child’s father isn’t the best communicator, we’ll be there to fill in the gaps and tell you what they’re likely thinking. We cover just about every topic and nothing is untouchable so we’ll help out the mom’s too.

Click here for more: DaddyDuty365.com

LaNier knows the dad life well as he and wife, Chandra, have three children - Madison, McKenzie and Carter. Some of the topics he and the guests discuss include mom and dad dating with kids, breast feeding (from a dad’s perspective), raising kids with special needs, homework hell, daddy dinners made easy, finding laughter after loss, dads doing hair and more.

The Kent State University graduate, who has been co-anchoring Morning Dose with Sharron Melton since 2018, previously worked as the weekend morning anchor at Fios1 News in New York.

He is also an author. LaNier co-wrote wrote the book "Jefferson’s Children: The Story of One American Family" about his journey to uncover the history behind his heritage as a ninth generation direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings.

8th annual ReelAbilities Houston Film and Arts Festival 2020

30th ADA Anniversary Amplifies Annual Houston Festival Message of Inclusion: ADA Architect Lex Frieden Named Honorary Festival Chair

The eighth annual ReelAbilities Houston Film & Arts Festival, a free, citywide event that promotes inclusion through visual arts, films, speakers and a final-night concert, returns February 11-20. . The ten-plus day Festival, annually produced by the JFS Alexander Institute for Inclusion in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, uses the arts as a vehicle to promote inclusion and celebrate the lives, stories and talents of people with disabilities, making an impact that lasts far beyond the Festival.

With the mission to foster inclusion, erase stigmas, change perceptions and create pathways to employment in the nation’s most diverse city, the Festival reaches thousands though numerous art forms. This year, ReelAbilities features 15 award-winning films, the UP Abilities speakers’ event, ReelMusic Concert, two art exhibits—including a Celebration Company art show—and educational programs in schools and workplaces around Houston. All art, film and music events are free.

“At its core a film festival and expanded in our city to include much more, ReelAbilities Houston is known as one of the most innovative among all others in the U.S.with yearlong initiatives anchored by the 10-plus day Festival, said ReelAbilities 2020 Houston Chair Dee Dee Dochen. “That this year is also the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act is an important milestone we are leveraging to amplify the Festival’s voice and reach.”

Dochen added, “We are particularly excited this year to announce that Houston’s own Lex Frieden, known as the architect behind the ADA who was with President George H.W. Bush at the bill’s signing, is the 2020 Festival’s honorary chair.”

“By setting a platform for people of all disabilities, both visible and invisible, to share their stories and talents, ReelAbilities Houston is truly a gift to Houston,” said Co-Chair Benjy Hershorn. “Through engaging speakers, music, film and visual arts, we learn empathy and gratitude, barriers come down,and our minds are opened to new possibilities.”

This year, ReeLAbilities features three preview events: The opening of Illuminating Dyslexia:A Multi-Sensory “Touch to See,” an art exhibit that will be on display through February 26 at the Evelyn Rubenstein JCC featuring the work of Dr. Stephanie Skolik; the January 30 Nobody’s Perfect –Achieving Inclusion, Diversity and Access with Marlee Matlin, produced in partnership with Congregation Emanu El; and a February 5 ReelWork place panel discussion and luncheon hosted by the Greater Houston In Collaboration With Host City Organizer Partnership that, moderated by Frieden, presents a panel of experts discussing companies’ efforts in creating cultures of inclusion by leveraging everyone's unique abilities.

ReelAbilities officially opens on February 11 with ReelPeople: UP Abilities,an evening showcasing three extraordinary speakers who will open windowsinto the world of disabilities with both intimacy and urgency. Captivating the audience will be J.R. Martinez, an Army veteran, burn survivor, actor,best-selling author and Dancing with the Stars winner; Rebecca Alexander, author, psychotherapist, group fitness instructor,advocate, and extreme athlete who is almost completely blind and deaf; and Darrius Simmons, a young musician born with three fingers on his right hand and one finger on his left who will play piano and engage in conversation with musician and producer Chris Walker.

Gina Gaston and Mario Elie triplets featured

Lauren, Gaston, and Glenn Elie, the children of abc13 KTRK anchor Gina Gaston and Houston Rockets legend Mario Elie, are featured as a family on Todd Freed's KUBE 57 "High School SportZone" show.

The Elie triplets of Memorial High School are looking to be future sports stars too!

Gina Gaston's triplets featured on KPRC

Off the court, the younger Elies have also worked on a service project called Flower Power.

Gaston and Elie met while Gina was reporting on the Houston Rocket's first NBA championship in 1994.  Mario was a pivotal player on the soon-to-be championship team.  

A year later, Elie would make his iconic "Kiss of Death" corner 3-pointer shot with ten seconds left against the Phoenix Suns in Game 7 which would help lead Houston to their second NBA Championship.

Gaston and Elie married in October 2000. When the wedding bells rang, Elie was a player for the Phoenix Suns. 

In 2003, the famous Houston husband and wife's triplets were born. 

The start of Gina Gaston's TV news career

After graduating from the University of Southern California, Gaston, a Santa Barbara native, arrived at KLTV in Tyler, Texas to start her television news career.

She eventually moved on to serve as an anchor and reporter for WHTM Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and then WTSP Tampa, Florida.

In 1992, Gaston moved to channel 13 in Houston to anchor the station's newly expanded morning newscast with Tom Koch, Don Nelson and Doug Brown.  The team had chemistry which helped them top the Houston TV news ratings.

Gaston leaves abc13 KTRK for MSNBC

In 1999, Gaston left Houston and KTRK for the new NBC and Microsoft cable channel MSNBC. She co-hosted afternoon news and feature show "HomePage" with Ashleigh Banfield and Mika Brzezinski who is still with MSNBC on "Morning Joe." 

In addition to "HomePage," Gaston worked as an anchor for the 2000 presidential election among other news events. She also served as a fill-in anchor for NBC's Weekend Today show.

A return to channel 13 and Houston

In June 2001, Gaston returned to KTRK as the weekend anchor.  

A few months later, Gaston was re-united with morning anchor Tom Koch on KTRK's brand new Eyewitness News at 4pm newscast. 

Within a few years, Gaston moved to the 6pm and 10pm newscasts with Dave Ward when longtime Shara Fryer moved to reporting and then left the station.

The Lone Star EMMY award winner is very involved in the Houston philanthropic world, helping raise money for the likes of the Children's Museum of Houston.

In 2018, news articles were written about Gaston and Elie selling their house which was worth $3.45 million.  The couple's home is located in Piney Point Village.  The 7,500 square foot mansion was built in 1996 and included a home theater, gym, pool, and of course a basketball court.

In 2021, the house on 1 Mott Ln. which sits on a 34,114 square foot lot, returned to the market for $3 million.

Houston social media stars January 2020

KHOU takes the top spot overall for the first, from my memory, since I've been using Share Rocket starting in 2017.

Share Rocket gives us data on how each Houston TV station and the corresponding air staff members performed on Facebook and Twitter.

Share Rocket is, "a social media ratings and audience solution providing media companies an easy way to quantify their social media equity, benchmark against peers and turn social market intelligence into insights that drive social success."

The numbers are pulled from station usage on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using Share Rocket's "Share" measurement.

First we are looking at every Houston media company in the Share Rocket database and top personalities. Then I am looking at the top 5 on air staff members at each station in order of channel number.
