Hello...Jay and April.. I want you to know that I have done over 250 radio interviews and yours was the best I ever did.. You are truly- truth seekers and treated me with respect and openess. If a person knows their subject they do well on your show and to those who don't, well your audience can quickly see this.. If we view GOD as a cosmic puzzle... we all have a few pieces... I just assembled a major section... GOD BLESS and I look forward to being a quest on your show again... Pastor Harry Walther

Dear Ajay and April, Thank you for the opportunity to present a point in time that remains for most people a mystery, for some a myth, and for others a plain disbelieve. Your guiding questions on this topic aided in maintaining relevance and did not allow distractions to occur. This helped the show to flow incredibly smooth and without fault. Anyone under such pressure can do with such professionalism. Thank you for your openness and time,

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Spiritually Raw to discuss whether Islam is a religion of peace or not. The hosts were entertaining, moderated debate well and surprisingly took different sides. For such a controversial topic it was great to have lively back and forth exchanges that still seemed to bring out some core truths. André van Heerden, Director, Writer, Producer, Cloud Ten Pictures (THE 12 BIGGEST LIES)

It is always a pleasure to be on "Spiritually Raw" The program is full of diverse beliefs and the hosts do a great job of keeping the conversation moving and allowing the guests the opportunity to share what they believe and why. It is always interesting since the topics naturally carry lots of passion, making for heated and interesting dialogue, highly entertaining for the listener. Rev. Bill Keller Founder, Liveprayer.com

We “The Moorish Science Temple of America-1928” welcome any opportunity were we can bring clarity and dismiss all assumptions and conjectures about who we are and our faith of Islam. We enjoy being guest of Ajay & April Matta along with Jesse, they made it very comfortable and even through the light humor we was able to get some very important information across in explaining our belief. We welcome the opportunity to return as guest to explore further the misconception about the Moorish Science Temple, our practices of Islam and to give more of a historical insight to The Moorish Science Temple of America. Along with the Supreme Grand Sheik – Shaykh Ra Saadi El and I Gov. Yssis Saadi El extend much peace and blessing to the staff at Spiritually RAW.

The husband-wife team of April and Jay Matta produce a daily blog talk radio program called "Spirituality Raw" that lives up to their motto "The Ass Whipping Truth." In an era when the media is obsessed with broadcasting and printing only what is "correct" and avoiding that which is "socially incorrect" or "politically incorrect," the producers of Spirituality Raw and their guests deliver a critically important educational service by going wherever the truth takes them. Also of vital importance, in contrast to the shallow discussions permeating radio and television, Spirituality Raw deals in depth with issues by delving into fundamentals. I have found my own guest appearances on Spirituality Raw to be rewarding experiences. Burton H. Wolfe Publisher of Mind Opening Books and Author of subject-definitive books such as The Hippies and Hitler and the Nazis

The hosts of the show Ajay & April, are very good at what they do and I respect them for that; creating an environment of entertainment for their listeners as well as being good at probing for those things which educate, mystify, stimulate and enlighten their listeners. Brother Mike

"Both times I was asked to be on Spiritually Raw, it was a refreshing debate and I had a great experience. The show is a platform for discussing topics which the everyday media frequently ignores. There are some exciting things happening underground, in the shadows. If you don't hear about them through Spiritually Raw, then where are you going to find out about Satanism, Lovecraft, chaos, black magic, and the Left Hand Path."

I think Spiritually Raw, hosted by Ajay and April Matta is the best show on radio! If you haven't listened yet you have no idea what a wonderful show you are missing. Jenni Paul Logo T.V. Can’t Get A Date http://www.logotv.com/video/cant-get-a-date-jenni/1604872/playlist.jhtml

By combining insight with spiritual awareness, Spiritually Raw has shown itself as powerful source of love, understanding, peace and oneness. Being on this show was like talking with a couple of dear old friend I have known for years and years. Their professionalism and wisdom takes the show to a level that is better than excellent. First we have April whose way of empathic being can bring a smile to the most elusive sour puss. Her lively outlook on life, love and relationship changes the very vibrations of your soul in such way the causes instantaneous spiritual healing. We have Ajay whose compassionate concern is authentic and unbiased. The very essence of his being is agape love which he shares freely with each of his listeners and every guest on the show. And what can I say about the profoundly understanding Jesse. He is so in touch with his own spiritual connection that his appreciation of others and his comprehension of thought vibrations bring him an immeasurable inner knowing that is spawned directly from the spiritual universe. The biggest blessing about being on Spiritually Raw is that these wonderful individuals see the good in everyone and everything by bring information to the forefront of the mass consciousness in a way that establishes a better understanding of things unseen. They are crystal children on a mission to bring the world into a more unified state through the “Law of One" or Unity Consciousness. Alexander T. Devereux Author of Gar Fish & Long Gravy: Memoirs of Southern Sensibility http://www.amazon.com/Gar-Fish-Long-Gravy-Sensibility/dp/1598006754

I had a great time being a guest on your show :) The cast of "Spiritually Raw" were all funny, smart, and very opinionated, yet they allowed me to voice my message. They really seemed to be after the truth, and probed into the heart of the matter. I had a great time being a guest on the show, and I certainly hope to do it again! Love and Blessings, Michelle Brock

I had a fantastic experience as a guest author on Spiritually Raw. The helpful hosts offered me support even before the show began, literally teaching me how to use Skype, which I now find fascinating. During the interview, the hosts asked insightful, sometimes-probing questions in what I call a fun-loving, reflective format. After the show, the hosts further encouraged me to join their book club so I can promote my book. Essentially, once you’re interviewed on the show, you become part of the Spiritually Raw family!

Thank you for having me on your show Spiritually Raw. Childhood sexual abuse is epidemic in this country and clergy sex crimes and the cover-up are particularly horrific. Your show enabled SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, to discuss how this can happen and ways to make changes to protect children. Things will change when people are better educated about child sex abuse and an open and honest discussion of this topic is essential. It was good to hear your listeners describe their experiences with religion. While we may not have all agreed on who is responsible we all agreed that the safety of children must come first. Barbara Doris Outreach Director for SNAP

The cast and crew of the Spiritually Raw radio show are a real joy to work with. They, their guests, and their listeners have fun, and the job gets done too. Messages are relayed, information is shared, people teach and people learn, people are entertained. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my times on the show and welcome future opportunities to be on again. A radio show that entertains as it informs and tickles as it teaches is a real treasure, and that is what Spiritually Raw does and that is what Spiritually Raw is. I have the highest appreciation and respect for what the cast and crew of the show do, and I trust they will continue to do it long into the future.

I want to thank Jay and April for the opportunity speak about the trance medium, John of God of Brazil. To also share some of my personal paranormal experiences; what began as a 10 minute segment, ended up as a purpose filled hour of purging some of my encounters. I was quite impressed with the radio concept Jay and April are bringing forth, to an ever growing audience of seekers. I especially enjoyed the added guest's input, Ask Our Intuitives, Indigo Kashmire who brought another interesting dimension to the program. A very unique way to engage and to reel in the listener’s attention! You guys are on to something! Coast to Coast, be prepared to move over, the indigos are on their way! Blessings to you both. Cynthia Long

I was on the show way too early(6 AM my time,) but I can attest to the fact that I had more fun than any time since I first discovered that my pee-pee wasn’t just for peeing! Seriously, (for a moment) I found A.J. and April the kind of host I am. They managed to show mutual respect for my ideas and me while expressing theirs honestly, the same with their callers and comments. This was refreshing since many hosts think they’re Jerry Springer clones and relish getting laughs at the guests’ expense. So, I’ll be baaack! Thanks for the invite.

April and Ajay are two amazing people, full of energy and love for everyone. It is not easy task to bring together skeptics and spiritual people and they do a great job. I like the way how they embrace everyone and bring information and awareness in a fun way.

I would like to congratulate Jay and April Matta on their show and the web site SPIRITUALLY RAW. I was very skeptical when I was asked to participate on their show but the experience was truly great. They were open and unbiased and allowed me to speak my views. The callers showed a high level of intelligence with their questions and views. I am also extremely happy with the Web site and have and hope to continue to post my weekly reflection of the Scriptural readings of the week. I would welcome comments on the reflections and would even consider the possibility of doing a show that would attempt to deepen a spiritual connection with God based on the teachings of Christ. I wish Jay and April a long and highly successful show for many years to come.

I really enjoyed being on Spiritually Raw. I have done many radio programs and news and television and have never had such a profound experience. The hosts know what to ask the guest to keep on the subject and discuss it in detail in such... a short time. My message and content were respected but also questioned. It was an authentic experience. In the age of the disingenuous my experience on Spiritually Raw was genuine and will not be forgotten. It has taught me that you can still get important issues across in modern American media" Modern Satanists & Artist, Reverend Steven Johnson Leyba

It is a tenet of new age spirituality that we do not question anyone's beliefs. This is undoubtedly a big step forward over oppressing others with our truths and insisting that everyone get on board, but it is also a pendulum swing. At one end is oppression and repression and the other end is a kind of spiritually vacuous separation in which we all sit contentedly on our little "It's true for me" belief bubbles. Tom Crockett Author of Stone Age Wisdom: the Healing Principles of Shamanism and One Drop Awareness: Picturing Enlightenment and Nonduality.

I had a good time appearing on Spiritually Raw. The hosts were well-informed, engaging and the show was informative. I'd definitely go on again!" Wayne Besen, Founder, Truth Wins Out

I enjoyed talking with April and Ajay on Spiritually Raw frank, positive conversation about sex. Such conversations can change the world, one orgasm at a time.

After spending a couple of shows with the Spiritually Raw folks I can only speak favourably about my experience. April, Ajay, and Jesse gave me the utmost respect and were so attentive to the answers I shared to their questions. I truly felt I was being listened to while on Spiritually Raw. If the Spiritually Raw team were given the chance, they could teach thousands of radio hosts a few things about really honouring their guests…whether they agree with the guest or not. I will always look forward to spending time with this team of professional, insightful, and caring hosts.

It was an absolute pleasure being on Spiritually Raw. The hosts actually gave me the time to answer their questions and listened. The type of dialogue that Spiritually Raw provides between opposing views perhaps can help more people understand that individually we may have our differences, but we are all still human beings. Thank you to Spiritually Raw for giving me the opportunity to express my views and giving their listeners the chance to hear them and to hear an engaging conversation. We do not have to respect each other’s ideas, beliefs, and convictions, but we should, at a minimum, respect each other as human beings. Spiritually Raw’s hosts met those criteria. In reason, Blair Scott Communications Director, American Atheists, Inc.

Thank you April, Ajay and the team of Spiritually Raw for having us on your show. Although it was 7:00 am for us, your energy, enthusiasm and thought provoking questions were better than any caffeine shot we could have taken. We found your show to be a great format for keeping your listeners up to date on cutting edge topics that inspire and evoke people everywhere. We are grateful and we love you. Tina Fiorda and Tilde Cameron |

Thank you April and Ajay for inviting me to be a guest on Spiritually Raw! I was very grateful to have been invited back to do a full show and to share my work with your audience and was even more grateful to have been asked to be a regular guest commentator. Thank you so much for your quest for the Truth by allowing your show to be a place where divergent viewpoints meet and people who might never cross paths to reflect off of each other to ask deeper questions to find greater meaning in their experience. I have had and continue to have a fantastic experience engaging with you and your program. Kerri Kannan - Author, Speaker, Self-Love Mentor

Thanks for the opportunity to appear on your show. I must confess to not a little anxiety about it, some of your inquisitors can be kinda tough. But you treated me fairly and with respect, giving me adequate time to respond to all questions. Better yet, you kept it flowing in an entertaining way. I'd be happy to do another show if you are interested. Cordially, Ken R. Unger Author, THE ULTIMATE BREAKTHROUGH - Spiritual Therapy for Emotional Pain

I loved my experience on Spiritually Raw, where guests are given courteous respect and the opportunity (and encouragement) to tell a deep and meaningful story. Listeners undoubtedly benefit from April & AJ's ability to draw out even the most unwilling guests, making the show that much richer in content. I'll be happy to return any day to talk about my novels (Cosmic Dancer & The Liberator) or anything related to the subject of our inter-dimensional lives: reincarnation, energy healing, past-life relationships, psychic transceiving, and where I learned how to write with my higher-dimensional Co-Authors!

I'd like to thank A.Jay, April, and Jesse for making my guest spot on Spiritually Raw a thoroughly positive and pleasant experience. Jesse's a courteous host in the online green room, and A.Jay and April are courteous and highly skilled hosts on the air. It's not just that they asked great questions but that they kept an excellent flow going and maintained a friendly, open, interested atmosphere. I've been surprised to see how deeply and widely my focus on the convergence of horror with religious experience has resonated with the SR audience, and I attribute no small amount of that success to the expert handling of the whole thing by the hosts. Thanks, everybody. I look forward to returning! All the best, Matt Cardin Author, DARK AWAKENINGS

In a world where so much ignorance is paraded as knowledge about religious and spiritual matters, Spiritually Raw is a breath of fresh air. April, A.Jay, and Jesse have done us all a service by creating a forum where all views can be expressed and debated and no topic or perspective is off the table. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my ideas on the show and found the hosts to be challenging but very fair in their approach. Spiritually Raw moves us beyond the tired old clichés about religion and promotes discussion on cutting edge topics. Thanks for the opportunity to be on the show and I look forward to joining the discussion again in the future. Robert F. Shedinger Religion Professor at Luther College Author of "Was Jesus a Muslim?"

Dear April, Ajay, and Jesse: I want to compliment you on a great Spiritual and social concept, namely: “SPIRITUALLY RAW.” This is the only place that I can think of where all thought, opinion and testament, pertaining to the Spirit, is proffered. The free flowing exchange of ideas as they apply to God and mankind are offered in a variety of manner; books, experiences, and revelation. The show has the perfect balance of serious considerations as well as humor, and all points are expressed and discussed vigorously. As hosts, the three of you keep an even keel, even in the face of what could be interpreted (sometimes) as an individual guest’s WAY outside the box opinion or declaration. That’s what makes it unique. That opinion or concept gets equal exposure and discussion. . . way to go! This show is fun to listen to, and yet at the same time, serious offerings concerning, God, Jesus, The Bible, Angels, Demons, Satan, and a whole host of other topics, both traditional and nontraditional, abound. I personally want to thank you for airing a segment on my Spiritual Fantasy book: “The Legend of Justice and Diamonds.” I look forward to more great Radio. Sincerely, Lou Louis F. Hemsey / Author, Screenwriter, Film Composer, Director, Producer and child of God. |

Spiritually Raw with April and Ajay will have you rolling with laughter along with mind blowing epiphanies and hidden knowledge the mainstream news does not want you to hear. I thoroughly enjoy conversing and laughing with my new found family at Spiritually Raw. Laura Legere, Author of "It's Not Weird Anymore: An Extraordinary True Tale." |

It's not often one can find a forum for discussing vastly opposing points of view and those involved don't get insulting and rude towards one another. Spiritually Raw - The Ass Whipping Truth is one of those open forums. Hosts A.J. and April Matta aren't afraid to tread down even the strangest paths to present broadcasts that cover literally every spectrum of spiritual, religious, political and philosophical beliefs. And they do it with class, respect, humor and open minds. Five stars for Spiritually Raw - The Ass Whipping Truth. Larry Miller |

Thank you very much for having me as a guest on your show, and what a wonderful show it really is. Actually, I have never felt more comfortable and welcomed on any other show in my life. The two of you are really very special talk show hosts, and I really enjoyed being a guest on your show. Now I have to hope that you will ask me be on your show again as I do have much to speak about. Keep your wonderful personalities and believe in yourself, each of you and believe in each other and you will do very well in life.

I’ve been on a number of radio shows, and Spiritually Raw is by far my favorite by a long shot! The Spiritually Raw Trio of Ajay, April and Jesse are amazing, and I *loved* my conversations with Ajay and April on air. They have created a space where anyone who comes to their own understanding of spirituality has a place to share and be themselves. In a world that tends to pit one group against another, claims one religion or belief system is superior to another; it’s so valuable to have this non-judgmental forum for everyone to come together. Thank you, Ajay, April and Jesse! Dr. Alice Chan Author "REACH Your Dreams: Five Steps to be a Conscious Creator in Your Life," |

Thank you for the chance to be heard on "Spiritually Raw" and to promote my novel, "Wet Goddess: Recollections of a Dolphin Lover." Since my appearance on your show, my boils have healed, my trailer is free of roaches, I gave up smoking crack and my dog has stopped chasing cats......All kidding aside, you folks are good hosts who try to balance things between belief and skepticism, between "too easy" and "too hard," and I think you do a great job of walking that fine, fine line. The field of the paranormal is filled with so much rubbish that it is helpful to have guides like you folks along for the ride to help one pick out the occasional gemstones one finds buried there. Keep up the good work! Yours, Malcolm J. Brenner

April and Ajay are a blast to speak with; they know their audience and are going to keep their questions geared towards entertaining their listeners. They are fun and upbeat and will look for the best of what you have to offer. They give you plenty of opportunity to sell yourself on their site and on air. Be ready to shine your light, relax and have fun! Blessings, |

Dear April, Ajay and Jesse, YOU GUYS ROCK! Nothing like making a guest speaker glad to be here; you really know how to dig in, get to the heart of the matter and make sure everyone listening has a good time. What a show! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share the airwaves with you. I had way too much fun. Thank you, too, for giving Mythological Sam-The Call time to be introduced. I know air time is valuable. Giving Sam's story a chance to fly to your listeners is priceless to me! Let's be friends forever! Kathleen Pickering Author, Mythological Sam-The Call |

Dear April, Ajay and Jesse, Three times I had the pleasure to be your guest at "Spiritually Raw Radio". I must say that you're all surprisingly gentle to the interviewees; after reading the attribute "The Ass Whipping Truth" I expected a new version of the Spanish Inquisition! :) My compliments for being open-minded and bold enough to really get to the point of all those hot issues, without much beating around the bush. May you're radio station continue to thrive and prosper! Dr. Yves E. Patak, MD Author of "Dialogue with the Devil" |

The hosts of Spiritually Raw have permitted me to be part of their show three times. Each time I was treated with great respect, the interaction was enjoyable and I acquired new information from other very interesting guests. Spiritually Raw is a unique show for the listener and the guest. Its extemporaneous style allows the hosts panoply of options when discussing a topic. This is one show you don't want to miss.
