The Spotlight Review
A twice-monthly live show where authors and businesses take the spotlight — hosted solo, radio-DJ style, by Yaya Diamond.
About the Show
The Spotlight Review is a two-hour live broadcast where Yaya Diamond spotlights books and businesses for a live audience — simulcast to YouTube and Facebook, twice a month on Thursdays, 7–9 PM ET.
Authors simply send their cover, blurb, and buy link 48 hours before airtime — and Yaya does the rest, live on air. No interviews to schedule. No tech checks. No no-shows. Every spotlight is recorded, and the author keeps the clip of Yaya featuring their book — to post on their own pages, forever. Each featured author is also named on the show's lineup graphic.
How It Works
Four simple steps from booking to replay.
1. RESERVE — Book your spots. First-come, first-served.
2. SEND — Cover image, blurb, buy link — 48 hours before air.
3. AIR — Yaya spotlights you live, Thursdays 7–9 PM ET.
4. REPLAY — Your link is in the chat live. Keep your clip forever.
