Host of DECA's 'Cool Mom' to Appear on the Dr. Phil Show

Popular Mom Video Blogger, TV Host and Comic, Daphne Brogdon, Makes Appearance to Discuss Helicopter Moms with Dr. Phil

Show Scheduled to Air September 29

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- DECA (http://www.deca.tv/), a digital entertainment studio that brings together the best of Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and Silicon Valley, today announced that Daphne Brogdon, host of the popular video blog, "Cool Mom" (http://coolmom.com/), will appear on the nationally syndicated daytime talk show, "The Dr. Phil Show," scheduled to air Monday, September 29, 2008.

The episode will feature a discussion on the topic of "Helicopter Moms", mothers who hover over and micro manage their children, versus "Free-range Moms", mothers who have a more lenient approach towards parenting. Daphne Brogdon was asked to appear on the show after producers caught a Cool Mom video clip in which Daphne shared her opinion on the helicopter mom phenomenon: http://coolmom.com/2008/06/03/helicopter-mom.

"Daphne's humorous approach to discussing important parenting issues has helped make Cool Mom a huge success and we're certain that Dr Phil's audience and moms everywhere can relate to her" said Michael Wayne, CEO of DECA.

DECA launched Cool Mom in June 2008 to provide high quality fun, unfiltered, entertaining video content that would serve as the missing link in the world of mom blogs and informational web sites. The site is hosted and conceptualized by Daphne Brogdon, TV host, comic, writer and Hollywood producer, who currently hosts TV Guide Channel weekly series The Fashion Team, regularly appears on CNN Headline News's Showbiz Tonight and hosts FOX's web show 24 Inside. Daphne offers her candid opinion about aspects of her personal life and motherhood, and as well as commentary on fashion, parenting, celebrity and pop culture topics.

"I was floored that the Dr. Phil Show found me," said Daphne Brogdon. "I've been knocking around basic cable and radio for years but I've never been asked to guest on Dr. Phil. It was very exciting and I'm psyched to connect with more like-minded moms through Cool Mom and upcoming projects I'm working on with DECA."
