Charismatic radio host Seth Rudetsky, will be hosting a brand new hour-long talk show on Sirius/XM Radio beginning Sunday May 8th. The show will be broadcast every Sunday at 5 pm Eastern time. On Wednesday, Rudetsky revealed details of the show to his Sirius/XM Live On Broadway radio audience.

The new show, to be called "Seth Speaks", will be comprised of six unique segments. "The first segment will be just me babbling," explains Rudetsky. "The second segment will be a celebrity guest. The first Sunday it is Ana Gasteyer. I want to talk to her about Celine Dion who she played all the time on "Saturday Night Live". Once she did Celine Dion in a concert and Celine snuck up behind her. They called it the "sneaker upper" and I'm so curious about what the interaction was like."

Hoping to incorporate his classical music background into the show, Rudetsky will have an "up and coming" segment where he will introduce a musical talent to his audience. "For the first show, this classical violinist is coming on who also weirdly, was on "20/20" a month ago because she has this freak memory!"

"I will also literally have a call-in advice segment", continues Rudetsky. "I've been in therapy for 20 plus years and not ending anytime soon according to my therapist. Am I an amateur psychologist or a know-it-all? You decide!"

In order to incorporate Rudetsky's unique brand of humor, the show will also include a segment called, "What Do You Do All Day?" Joked the radio host, "Because I don't know what anyone does unless they're in the performing arts business, I literally don't know what a real job is. For my pilot, I interview an architect and I'm like 'are blueprints really blue?' Who knows anything about that?"

According to Rudetsky, the final segment may turn out to be the most entertaining of all. "I end the show with a call to someone in my family, which will either be my mother or my two sisters. It will have to be edited down - majorly!"
