About Me

Welcome to the Ralph's Backporch Myspace Page!

We are a podcast radio program that airs twice weekly. Yep... thats us, Ralph and Tamara! We are the owners of NuTrader.com and we now have the Ralph's Backporch Radio show!..How did all this get started? Well, a while back we decided to send our NuTrader users an email, you know to remind them to go back and update their ads. Well, Ralph being the creative one started blabbering in these emails about old time stuff that he remembers, included a few jokes and sometimes talked some politics. Well... people LOVED the emails! We assumed they wanted more of Ralph and is infinate wisdom... we then found Blogtalkradio and voila! We had a way for yall to get more of the old cowboy.Well, it took him a while to get me to talk with him, but I am on there now too. He says he can't shut me up now.Really, Were just having fun with the show. Weve had some great guests on it and are looking forward to more. Its just a good ole fashioned western, cowboy, nostalgic radio program. It is a call in swap shop, it is the hee haw of the 21st century... well, its what yall make it because the callers and guests are really what make the show!Be sure to visit our blogtalkradio page and make us a favorite and rate the show Click hereYou can also read Ralphs blogs, letters from uncle skeet and see who else has been on the show by visiting the official Ralph's Backporch Website Click hereDont forget to visit NuTrader, the free online classified site.

My Interests

We do tend to be a little country on the show. Hence the hee haw of the 21st century but folks were from Texas! what do you expect? We are into the cowboy poetry, good ole fashioned texas dance hall music, some gospel, christian ministries and interesting people doing interesting things!

Tamara's Score: You are 80% REAL Texan!! You're way more Texan than average. You're parents were probably from here too. We're glad to have you. You probably go to the border for Christmas shopping and are well versed in BBQ, Mexican Food and .. well thats pretty much it.

How Texan Are You?

OK, so although Ive only lived here 4 years, Ive learned enough about it to fool the average texan... now if i could just get that accent down, Id have it made!Ralph's Score: You are 80% REAL Texan!! You're way more Texan than average. You're parents were probably from here too. We're glad to have you. You probably go to the border for Christmas shopping and are well versed in BBQ, Mexican Food and .. well thats pretty much it.

How Texan Are You?

Ralph mumbled something about not caring about fishing peirs and Austin politics... lol... I think we both missed the same questions! (and really the reason i know so much about texas is I get to sit across the desk from the best history teacher in the world - Ralph!)

I'd like to meet:
