"Marlo Thomas knows the kind of information women want and need to make smart choices in their lives. We think Mondays with Marlo is an exciting format to let people get their questions answered directly from some of the best experts out there across a wide variety of topics," says Tim Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of AOL.
Viewers have the opportunity to submit questions in advance, which are incorporated into the interview, to ensure that Marlo delivers the information that women need to know. As 2011 starts, MarloThomas.com will also be working with AOL and other partners like ThirdAge.com to provide additional content around the topics discussed on the show.
Participants in the LIVE event submit their questions and comments via a chat window, and Marlo and guest respond in real time, on live streaming video. During the event the expert also addresses questions that were submitted in advance. After the event, the entire video event is presented on MarloThomas.com and archived for viewing 24/7.
Mondays with Marlo was developed by AOL Engineering in Dulles and AOL Studios in New York. The program combines live streaming video of Marlo and her expert guest with a live chat module for audience questions and comments (provided by CoverItLive). That combination - real-time video and real-time chat - allows Marlo to bring her vision of online dialogue to life.
"I launched Mondays with Marlo as a platform for a dialogue between me and the community I was building," says Marlo Thomas. "I soon learned that many women, and men, attending these chats had real issues for which they wanted real answers. And I felt the best way to get those answers was to bring some very special experts into our community to be in a conversation with us. It's very exciting for me to continue providing my audience with these conversations, and I'm thrilled to kick off a great start to 2011," continues Thomas.
