1.==> Helicopter Cameraman on Kobe Crash
Millions are mourning the sudden death of 41-year old
NBA great Kobe Bryant, his 13-year old daughter, and
seven others killed when their helicopter crashed
enroute to a basketball game in Calabasas, California.
David Arnold, a veteran airborne photographer covered
many of Kobe Bryant’s basketball games at the Staples
Center. He’s also flown over the area where Kobe’s
aircraft crashed while working on TV and films. Arnold
says the tragedy involved the same type of helicopter
Donald Trump has been flying for years, adding that it
has two jet engines like an airliner, and a very good
30-year safety record. David Arnold is an Emmy Award-
winning airborne cinematographer and the author of two
“Help from Above” books. Contact him at (818) 275-8676;

2. ==> Comedian Maria Bamford: Mental Health Hilarity
Listeners will recognize Maria Bamford as a stand-up
comic, actress and voice-over artist best-known for her
self-depreciating humor and jokes about her
dysfunctional family and her mental health issues. Book
her to discuss her brutally honest and hysterically
funny new stand-up special “Weakness is the Brand.” The
hour of mental health inspired hilarity debuts today,
January 28 on the Comedy Dynamics Network and was
called one of the top cultural events this month by The
New York Times, and a “gift to us all” by Vulture.

3. ==> Behind Impeachment Drawings: Interview a Reportage Artist
Views of the Senate chamber during President Trump’s
impeachment trial are limited by restrictive TV camera
rules so courtroom reportage artists are there to
capture the essence of what’s going on. As a reportage
artist for ABC and CBS network news, Lynn Matsuoka
covered many court trials, most notably as a court
illustrator for the Watergate hearings. Legendary
designer and artist Milton Glaser called Matsuoka
“probably the greatest living reportage artist.” Invite
her to share what it’s like to be an eyewitness to
history while using your artistry to convey the
courtroom scene to the public. Lynn Matsuoka is
internationally known for her drawings and paintings of
Japan’s sumo and Kabuki traditions. Her fashion
illustrations have appeared in the Wall Street Journal,
Time, and Business Week and other publications. Contact
her at (808) 479-5966; artist@hamptonsartist.com
4. ==> Pair Wine with Chocolate for Ultimate Valentine’s Day Sensuality
Let’s be honest, we’ve all given or received a box of
chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Hopefully to, or from,
someone very special. Yet how many of those heartfelt
offerings do we really remember? Mmm … none? But with
the assistance of some well-chosen wine, we can all
create a stellar tasting experience that will be etched
in our sweetie’s memory for years to come. Let wine
guru Jim Laughren, CWE, show your audience how to set
the stage for a delicious and memorable Valentine’s Day
after-dinner snuggle-up. He will discuss the long and
remarkable relationship between wine and chocolate and
how we can pair this sensuous twosome for maximum
delight. Contact Jim at (954) 317-9623;

5. ==> How to Attract Your Soul Mate
No one wants to be alone for Valentine’s Day, but what
if you’ve searched everywhere for your perfect match
and had no luck? Author, speaker, and personal
transformation expert Arnoux Goran can reveal why most
techniques to find the love of your life don’t work and
how you can finally manifest your soul mate. Goran has
developed a method to reprogram yourself that was

6. ==> Yes, You Can Buy Love
Sure, the Beatles said that “money can’t buy me love”
and most of us assume that the Beatles knew what they
were singing about. But according to Barry Shore, you
can buy love—the real, authentic good stuff—as long as
you apply his simple ASK formula. In time for
Valentine’s Day, let Barry, a former quadriplegic
turned happiness expert, share the three things you
need to do so that in “in the end, the love you take is
equal to the love you make.” Shore’s mission is
spreading the joy of being alive no matter what
adversities people face. He hosts The Joy of Living
radio program and podcast and has been featured in or
appeared on O Magazine, Fox, NBC, ABC, and Forbes.

7. ==> Nowhere to Run in Next Financial Crisis
With real estate experts, economists, and even online
real estate company Zillow predicting a recession in
2020, are property owners prepared to weather the
coming storm? Invite New York real estate economist and
appraiser Adam Weber to share why he believes that in
the next financial crisis there will be nowhere to
hide. Invite him to discuss how we got here and why the
upcoming economic crisis will be much worse than the
past. As a veteran of multiple financial storms he says
lenders are currently handing out loans like crazy. His
book, “The Appraisal Review Survival Guide,” reveals
insider information on the workings of the risky
business of making real estate loans. Contact him at

8. ==> Music to Our Ears: Solving America’s Culture Crisis
If life is like a symphony, then Gerald Leonard
believes we’re a little out of tune these days. The
professional musician, management consultant and
culture change expert says America is currently having
a culture crisis in politics, business and society. “In
order to change our national values, we first must
change our vision,” he says. “If truth is really valued
then we must make it more important than the expediency
of just getting ahead through politics. If our vision
and values are off, then we will continue to have a
negative culture.” Leonard will discuss the seven
principles that can be used to create any
culture—including at the highest levels of government
—and how they can be applied to change our national
culture. Gerald Leonard is president and CEO of
Principles of Execution, a strategic project portfolio
management and IT governance consulting practice. He is
the author of “Culture Is The Bass: 7 Steps to Creating
High Performing Teams.” Contact him at (443) 622-4740;

9. ==> Why ‘Safe’ Everyday Products May Be Making You Sicker
Marcela Magda Popa, M.D., was forced to take early
retirement from her job as an internal medicine
physician when her autoimmune arthritis symptoms became
too difficult to manage. These symptoms, along with
worsening bouts of migraine headaches and repeated
breast testing abnormalities, led her to suspect and
research the effects of “generally recognized as safe”
products used in foods, cosmetics, cookware, hygiene
products and more. Dr. Popa says these generally
recognized as safe (GRAS) substances are not
necessarily safe, inert, or inactive, and our chronic
but constant exposure, even at low doses, can have an
impact on health. She’ll discuss the side effects of
inert ingredients in medicines and supplements,
substances to avoid if you get migraines or breast
tests reveal abnormalities, whether it’s possible to
live a chemical-free life, and what has helped her most
in the quest for reducing her arthritis symptoms.
Marcela Magda Popa, M.D. is a board-certified Internal
Medicine physician who graduated from Carol Davilla
Medical School in Bucharest, Romania, and completed
residency training in the United States. She’s been
featured on MSN Lifestyle, SheKnows, Elite Daily,
Bustle, and in Business Insider. Contact her at (917)

10. ==> Bigfoot and Aliens: A Real-Life Adventure Story
When she was 22, Patti Houtz was paid by an archeology
society to be part of an expedition that went in search
of Bigfoot. Also in the group were a National
Geographic photographer; her boyfriend John; and a
fisherman who was the latest person to see Bigfoot in
Big Cypress Swamp in the Everglades. What occurred
during the two days they spent in the swamp was
unforgettable and, in Patti’s opinion, life-changing,
and she is only now willing to share the experience on
your show. She’ll detail what happened and what she
thinks it means, and how her boyfriend ended up being
featured on the front page of The National Enquirer.
The Bigfoot story is just one of the adventures Houtz
shares in her upcoming memoir, “Solo By Choice.”

11. ==> Could Self-Doubt Be the Key to Your Career
Success?
Leaders are expected to be confident, but what can you
do if you’re in a leadership position and you lack
confidence in your abilities? Author and leadership
expert Marc Pitman says that self-doubt may actually
mean you’re on the verge of greatness. Invite him to
reveal the three main factors that can bring out the
best leader in you. He can also share how to overcome
past failures to achieve career success. His
forthcoming book, “The Surprising Gift of Doubt,”
provides a framework for leaders to move past feeling
like a fraud and manage teams more effectively. Ask him
how to overcome the feeling you’re “broken,” and why it
can be dangerous to follow every new leadership system
or self-help guru. Contact Marc Pitman at (317)

12. ==> Get Healthier by Knowing Your Personality Type
Changing bad habits is tough, but wellness expert
Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C., IFMCP, says knowing your
personality type can help ease the struggle to change
habits—especially those that relate to your health.
Invite Dr. Nathalie to share four core personality
types that come into play when changing health habits
and why each requires a different approach. “People who
are detail-oriented require all the facts before
beginning a program. They’re not going to jump on board
the latest health trend until they have consulted
professionals and done the research. But if they’re not
careful they can suffer from analysis paralysis.”
She’ll reveal the four personality types, the hidden
motivators behind them, and how to keep your
personality type from getting in the way of your health
goals. Dr. Nathalie is a chiropractor, a former
professional natural figure/bodybuilder, a wellness
consultant, speaker, and radio and TV personality.
She’s the author of “Hack Your Health Habits: Simple
Action-Driven, Natural Health Solutions for People On
the Go!” Contact her at (613) 852-1770;

insurance policies go to waste annually? Simply

14. ==> The Global Consequences of Africa’s Poverty
Why is mere survival so difficult for hundreds of
millions of Africans despite the continent’s rich
resources? Are the developed nations, multinational
corporations, and outside benefactors inadvertently
contributing to Sub-Saharan Africa’s “bottom billion”
status with their generosity? How can positive change
in the region be achieved? Invite author and speaker
Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni to discuss the long-term impacts of
poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa on the rest of the world
and engage in a dialogue regarding the misguided
benevolence of outside sympathizers. Ayeni, a retired
neurosurgeon, was born and raised in Nigeria. His
latest book, “Rescue Thyself: Change in Sub-Saharan
Africa Must Come from Within,” reveals what many in the
West don’t understand about the root causes of Sub-
Saharan Africa’s plight and the steps needed to improve
the situation. Dr. Ayeni is the president of Pan Africa

15. ==> This Guest Enjoys 3 Free Cruises a Year (and You Can Too)
Fifteen years ago when she retired, Cynthia Barnett had
a fantasy: she wanted to enjoy cruising without having
to pay for it and she figured out how to do exactly
that! Cynthia has cruised to Alaska, Hawaii, Europe,
and the Caribbean without paying a thing; for example,
during a two-week cruise, she enjoys all the cruise
ship amenities (gourmet food, a single inside room
cabin, etc.) in exchange for giving four less than an
hour talks on topics that interest her such as
Caribbean festivals or female pirates. She can tell
your audience that entertaining guests during days on
the high sea are a priority for cruise lines and coming
up with topics to lecture about is not as hard as you
might think. Cynthia can talk about how she got
started, what equipment you would need, and how to get
your foot in the cabin door if you have never done this
before. Cynthia Barnett, Ph.D., is the author of “I’m
Not Done Yet and You Shouldn’t Be Either,” a book that
inspires people to make the most out of their
retirement years. She’s been featured in the Wall

16. ==> Former Clutter Queen’s Secrets for Living More with Less
Can’t find your car keys? Haven’t seen the scissors in
weeks? Always losing your cell phone? As decluttering
and downsizing expert Marlena Uhrik, Ph.D., will tell

17. ==> How to Choose Healthy When You Crave Comfort
We’re in the middle of winter and millions of us are
not only more sedentary, we’re feeling downright
sluggish. We’re eating foods we think will give us
comfort in the cold, but they really aren’t the
healthiest choices. Invite Ed Dodge, M.D., to share
ways to keep a positive mindset and how that can make
all the difference to your success in maintaining a
healthy eating regime. He’ll tell your audience which
wholesome foods can help you feel full so you stay on
track and share four types of processed foods that
contribute to the development of life-threatening
chronic diseases. Dr. Dodge’s latest book, “Family: A
Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in Africa and the U.S.,”
shares his journey from his childhood in the wilds of
Africa, where he enjoyed exotic fruits and ate antelope
and buffalo, to experiencing culture shock as a teen
returning to the U.S. After becoming a physician, he
returned to Africa to work and later to volunteer. As
host of Healthy Living Radio, Dr. Dodge has interviewed
groundbreaking leaders in medicine and he’s been

18. ==> Prince Harry Is Like All Children Everywhere
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s desire to pull back
from their royal duties has caused stress in the royal
family and fascination among the royal watchers. As
author and former educator Peggy Sideratos will point
out, members of the royal family have nearly always
performed their obligations without public protest,
until now. Still, Sideratos says, Harry and Meghan’s
situation is not so different than one faced by
American children and their parents every day. “It’s a
process that begins even at the toddler stage, when
suddenly the child pushes the adult away and declares
that they want to do something themselves, whether they
are developmentally ready or not,” she explains.
Interview Sideratos to discover parenting lessons
hidden in the royals’ story and the universality of
raising emotionally intelligent children capable of
making their own independent decisions. Sideratos is
the author of “The Light Giver and Other Stories to
Raise Emotionally Healthy Children” and “The Light
Giver Stories Workbook.” Contact her at (917) 715-8788;

19. ==> Spirituality — The Missing Link for Wellness?
Optimum wellness has been elusive for countless people
during these hectic times. Whether individuals are
worried because of personal or family issues, career
challenges, money limitations or even the difficult
things we hear in the news (from political wranglings
to war to mass shootings), mental, emotional and even
physical health could suffer. Invite popular author and
award-winning medium Beth Lynch to discuss how a deeper
sense of spirituality can heal us at any age. She says
it’s exactly what’s missing in modern life! Ask Beth:
What are the true benefits of prayer and meditation?
How can spiritual teachings be the most powerful type
of medicine? Will believing in the afterlife (and even
visits from deceased loved ones) give us strength? How
can we see our dreams as healthful spiritual messages?
Why is it so important to encourage spirituality for
others, especially our children? What about spiritual-
based remedies for anxiety, grief and all types of
loss? How can one embrace or recapture spirituality in
one’s life? Contact Beth at (484) 705-2818;

20. ==> Moms, Make Room for Your Dreams: 10 Tips to Stay the Course
Moms are always busy with endless chores, overwhelmed
with to-do lists, and burned out at the end of the day.
