United Stations Radio Networks nationally syndicated programs hardDrive and hardDrive XL have announced a new weekly program called "Ask Cristina." The segment will be hosted by Lacuna Coil co-singer Cristina Scabbia. On-air, Scabbia will offer advice in response to questions presented by listeners wherein they share their most intimate and personal questions about life and love. The feature will debut on hardDrive over the week-end of October 24th and is a Friday night feature on the nightly hardDrive XL with Lou Brutus.
Listeners can call the hardDrive Radio hotline 877MUSIC11 toll-free to leave a message or e-mail Cristina directly via [email protected].
Currently, Lacuna Coil is on the hardDrive Live Tour, which features the band with headliners All That Remains, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, and special guests From Sword to Sunrise and Taking Dawn. The Italian singer Scabbia shared, “It’s with pleasure that I’m officially entering the great hardDrive family with a new program that will connect with you 100% ASK CRISTINA. I have always loved to talk and to listen to others; always felt like an auntie; willing to try to find a solution to problems or just a positive way to get out of troubles! That’s why I’ll be waiting for your phone calls and e-mails and I can’t wait to listen to what you all have to share. I’ll be supporting you guys, and I’ll be on your side…at least, most of the time. As a proper auntie, I will be completely honest with you, in good and bad.” hardDriveRadio producer Roxy Myzal added, “She has a great sense of advice for fans with all kinds of troubles in their lives. Whether it's abuse or the love-lorn, Cristina speaks to those fans in a thoughtful, hip way. And the fact that she has this great sexy Italian accent, doesn't hurt either! I am so pleased to be working with her!"
