=======================================
1. ==> Growing Calls to Ground Boeing Planes in US
Dozens of countries — including all EU member states,
China and India — and multiple airlines around the
world have grounded the Boeing 737 Max 8 following
Sunday’s deadly crash in Ethiopia. Here at home, there
are growing calls on the FAA to do the same. It’s the
2nd fatal accident involving the plane in the past five
months and has claimed a total of 346 lives. “Lion Air
crashed in October 2018 after pilots were unable to
override an automatic control system that was not
clearly disclosed by Boeing to airlines and pilots.
Although it is too early to identify the cause of
Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines crash, early signs point to
the same problem,” says Flyersrights.org president Paul
Hudson. “The FAA’s ‘wait and see’ attitude risks lives
as well as the safety reputation of the U.S. aviation
industry. Even assuming this design defect should not
by itself take the aircraft out of service, the failure
to warn airlines and pilots of the new feature, and the
inadequacy of training requirements, necessitate an
immediate temporary grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX 8.”
Paul Hudson is president of Flyersrights.org, the
nation’s largest airline passenger organization, and
has been a member of FAA’s Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee since 1993. Contact him at

2. ==> Is Streaming Bad News for Hollywood?
Nearly 60 percent of Americans have some form of
streaming service and Meredith Jordan says Netflix’ big
night at the Oscars this year magnified how it’s
disrupting modern-media consumption. “Most studios
don’t have a platform that enables instantaneous,
worldwide release,” says author Meredith Jordan, whose
book, “Below The Line: Anatomy of a Successful Movie”
provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the making of
an A-list Hollywood film. “The issue isn’t whether
Netflix can compete as a studio. It just needs to
compete as a studio, without using the tools of its
larger streaming business.” Iconic film director Steven
Spielberg is pushing for a rule change that would
prevent Netflix from duplicating the statues it got in
February in next year’s Academy Awards. The Netflix
film Roma took home three Oscars. Meredith Jordan
worked for east coast news organizations for 25 years,
including Dow Jones & Co., Cox Communications and
National Geographic. Contact Miguel Casellas-Gil at

3. ==> Is this the Luckiest or Unluckiest Irishman
Ever?
This Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day, and while everyone
celebrates the Irish with parades, parties, and pints
of adult beverages, consider the luck of the Irish when
it comes to Joe Patrick Lafferty. While many might
disagree, he believes he’s the luckiest man this side
of the Blarney stone. Joe has survived cancer,
diabetes, vision loss, a pulmonary embolism, kidney
failure, heart surgery, a double organ transplant and
seven minutes of death. Joe has led an active, sports-
filled life. He’s played high school and college
football, worked for three D-1A athletic departments,
the Orange Bowl and the Dallas Cowboys. He’s also
coached 14 seasons of high school football, including
15 future NFL players. Invite him on your program to
discuss his new book, “Justin Time: A Memoir of Faith
and the Fight for Life,” a Forest Gump-like true story
of personal interactions with some of the biggest
celebrities over the last 30 years. Joe is also a
member of the Donate Life Hollywood board and says
while most Americans believe in organ donation, only
about half register as organ donors. Contact Joe
Lafferty at (412) 897-1313; joelafferty@me.com
4. ==> Spring Equinox Challenge: Balance an Egg!
Celebrate next week’s Spring Equinox by inviting urban
shaman Mama Donna Henes to discuss her upcoming 44th
Spring Equinox Egg Balancing Celebration next
Wednesday, March 20th. The annual rite of spring
happens at the precise equinox moment, this year at
5:55 PM, when the sun crosses the equator into the
Northern Hemisphere and it’s possible to balance an egg
upright. Henes says, “The egg represents the life force
in many cultures, and is particularly used to symbolize
the rebirth of nature in the spring season. According
to Chinese custom, if you stand an egg on its end on
the first day of spring, you will have eggsceptionally
good luck for the entire year.” Henes can also discuss
why this year’s equinox is an especially auspicious
occasion and how to use the equalizing energy to help
restore your equilibrium. Donna Henes is a ceremonial
artist, urban shaman, ritual expert and consultant,
speaker, workshop leader and the author of “Celestially
Auspicious Occasions: Seasons, Cycles and
Celebrations.” Contact her at cityshaman@aol.com; (718)

5. ==> Monday, March 18th is Forgive Mom and Dad Day
Many people have bad childhoods. But what makes Wade
Meadows remarkable is how he was able to forgive both
parents, his mentally unstable mother who constantly
reminded him that he was worthless because he was born
on Friday the 13th and his workaholic father who was
unable to protect him. This Monday, March 18th is
Forgive Mom & Dad Day, a day aimed at bringing closure
to people whose upbringings left much to be desired.
Invite Wade on air to explain how he was able to open
his heart when his mother needed a caregiver, how he
manages to live a hopeful life despite a chaotic
childhood and how he was able to break his family’s
cycle of abuse to raise happy, successful children and
be a loving marriage partner. Wade is the author of
“Letters From the Ashes” and “Ashes Forged Into
Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697;

6. ==> Wild Predator Attacks on Humans – More Frequent,
More Deadly
Have you noticed the number of recent animal attacks on
unsuspecting people? Hikers are being injured by
mountain lions, wolves and even white-tail deer in
forests nationwide. Coyotes are invading homes,
backyards and campsites. Bears are attacking people in
Yellowstone and other parks while alligators are
drowning dog-walkers and little children in broad
daylight! What’s causing all these wild animal attacks?
And how can we protect themselves? Get answers and
learn valuable safety tips, especially for colder
months, from nature expert Bruce Hemming. Bruce will
reveal where people are most in danger these days, how
laws that limit hunting and trapping are backfiring,
and how to revamp the animal conservation system to
lesson these attacks and home invasions. Invite
listeners to call in with their own stories of
confrontations with dangerous wild creatures. Bruce is
the author of “4 Seconds Until Impact: The Skyrocketing
Attacks by Predators on Humans”. Contact him at (484)

7. ==> Former Agent Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Chaos at
IRS
Mention the IRS and millions of Americans get fearful
and even angry. Anything about taxation and reconciling
our tax obligation feels challenging, complicated and
stressful. And that happens in years when our
government does not shut down! What most taxpayers
don’t realize: The feared IRS is actually a hotbed of
incompetence and disorder that hurts you. So says
former IRS agent and tax expert Richard Green who will
shock audiences when he reveals how the Internal
Revenue Service is staffed by slow-moving staff using
antiquated technology. As your on-air guest, Green will
answer questions like: What types of IRS
miscommunication and lack of cooperation happen? How do
taxpayers miss out because of such poor service? Are
decisions for audits fair? What about mismanaged funds
in this year of tax “reform?” What other negatives can
we expect? Only someone like Green, who’s seen it
firsthand, can blow the whistle on the chaotic IRS.
Richard Green is the author of “Agents of Deceit”.

8. ==> Do a Show on Integrity Deficit Disorder: What is
it? Who Has it?
According to Merriam-Webster, one of the definitions of
integrity is “incorruptibility, a firm adherence to a
code of especially moral values.” Sounds pretty
important, doesn’t it? But integrity doesn’t seem to
matter much these days. Just listen to the nightly
news. Enter John Smith, an expert on ethics and
integrity, who unknowingly became part of a fraud
scandal during the Savings and Loan crisis of the
1980s. He was shocked when he realized that he didn’t
have to commit a crime in order to be convicted of one!
“Our nation is suffering from IDD, or Integrity Deficit
Disorder. The S&L crisis of the 80’s seems like so long
ago, but the lack of integrity and personal
responsibility of individuals in this country hasn’t
gotten any better!” He’ll take your audience through
his incredible true story – and share how he used
perseverance and integrity to rebuild his world. From
the FBI showing up at his front door to his quest for a
presidential pardon, his story is stranger than
fiction! John Smith is a keynote speaker on ethics and
integrity in the workplace and in life, and the author
of “Embracing the Abyss”. Contact him at (214)

9. ==> Ever Worry That Someday You’ll Run Out of Money?
Do this…
You know those TV commercials that ask people how much
money they think they’ll need to save over their
lifetime in order to retire comfortably? Their
response? A bewildered, “Beats me!” The truth is, if
your investments are in stocks, bonds, precious metals
or other commodities there is no way of knowing for
sure. Not so with real estate. “Once the cash flow from
your rental properties, coupled with your future Social
Security checks, consistently and significantly exceeds
your monthly personal expenses, you’ll never have to
worry about outliving your money,” says Doug Marshall,
author of “Mastering the Art of Commercial Real Estate
Investing.” Marshall created 9 streams of passive
income for himself through real estate, without having
to quit his job or spend his own time looking for
deals. He’ll show your listeners how they can create
passive income without giving up their free time and
share three not-so-obvious reasons why investing in
real estate is far superior to any other type of
investment. Contact him at dmarshall@rtirguests.com;

10. ==> Want to Change Your Life? Start by Changing
Your Hair!
Feeling like you’re not on track for where you really
want to be going in life? Then you need to hear about
Katherine Webster’s humorous but highly effective
challenge for reinventing your life in the next seven
days. Step 1: Get a brand new hairstyle. Why? To
paraphrase Coco Chanel, the person who changes their
hair is about to change their life. Webster knows what
she’s talking about. Suddenly widowed in her late 40s,
she had to take specific actions to find her joy,
confidence and completely reinvent her life. She’ll
reveal something new you can do every day to
turbocharge your reinvention i.e. go out on the town
all by yourself or start a new hobby that shocks your
friends. Her tips are simple, fun and they work!
Katherine Webster is the author of “Becoming Madam
Widow” and her tips can help any man, woman or child
who wants to add more extraordinary to their life.

11. ==> How to Stop Procrastinating . . . TODAY!
It’s so frustrating when you really want to do
something but you keep putting it off. Why do we do
this? Invite Arnoux Goran, author, speaker, and founder
of a unique health education system, to reveal the
causes of procrastination and how to permanently get
rid of it. His successful method to reprogram yourself
has been studied by the University of California,
Irvine, and shown dramatic results. Invite him to tell
your audience why having fun doesn’t necessarily mean
you’re procrastinating, how to stop judging yourself,
and the root cause of your procrastination. His
forthcoming book, “The Answer: How to Change Your Life
and Make Your Dreams Come True”, reveals how to release
negative emotions permanently, reprogram the
unconscious mind, and truly change your life by
addressing the cause of repeating patterns. Goran has
been featured on radio and television. Contact him at

12. ==> 3 Steps to Making a Big Decision
Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making, or as she likes
to call it, “choice-making”. As a systems analyst, she
does it every day at work for her customers so when she
was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even scarier
treatment option, she decided (after freaking out) to
apply what she does at work to help her make some
important decisions. Terrie will share her powerful
story and explain how her three-step decision making
process makes any decision easier to make. Terrie Novak
works in software engineering as a systems analyst. Her
unique framework for “choice-making” can be applied to
decisions of any kind. Her book, “Hypothesis: An HPV
Healing Experiment”, outlines a three-step process she
created to help heal herself. Contact Terrie at (503)

13. ==> Take this ‘Before You Get Out of Bed’
Challenge!
Do this one little thing before you get out of bed each
day, and you will experience more joy, confidence and
productivity. It only takes 2-3 minutes and has been
proven to help people dramatically shift their lives.
It’s not mediation, visualizing or goal setting.
Cathleen Lamberton, a coach and emotional fitness
trainer, gives this powerful challenge to her clients
and it has revolutionized their lives: before your feet
hit the floor, write down ten things you’re grateful
for. Do this every day for ten days and watch how it
completely shifts your perspective and your feelings
before you even head to the bathroom. She’ll explain
why this simple exercise is so powerful, along with
specific examples of how it has transformed people from
all walks of life, including a woman in a miserable
marriage and a veteran suffering from PTSD. Contact

14. ==> Why Your Safety Nets Aren’t Keeping You Safe at
All
Are you a control freak? Do you find yourself judging
others? Do you feel the need to always be right? Or be
liked? Joffre McClung calls these our ‘safety nets’;
behaviors we develop as kids to help us deal with the
world. According to Joffre, “These safety nets become
our go-to behaviors. They’re not about who you are,
they’re about how you see the world and what you
decided you must do to be safe and feel loved.” Invite
Joffre on your show and learn the fears and beliefs
behind the most common safety nets, how safety nets can
run your life without you even realizing it, and what
happens when you’re finally net-free and move through
the world rooted in self-love. Joffre McClung has
appeared on numerous radio and TV programs including
CBS TV-Austin TX, Hay House Radio and The Joe Franklin
Show. A former media producer, independent filmmaker,
and author, Joffre takes the esoteric and brings it
back down to earth with a big dose of common sense. Her
latest book is “The Heart of the Matter.” Contact her
at (917) 994-0225 (TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com
15. ==> What’s in a Name? Your Fate in Life!
Sticks and stones may break our bones, but our names
can make or break our success in life. According to
name colorology expert B. P. Greycastle, the letters of
our names represent specific colors, which relate to
certain glands such as the pancreas, and energy centers
known as chakras. “I can illustrate with a vast array
of lists, facts and figures that the most famous and
successful people in practically every field owe their
success to their names,” he says. B.P. can illustrate
this on air, with astonishing accuracy. A Vietnam
veteran who studied fashion under the G.I. Bill, he
worked in the fabric and fashion industries for many
years, where he discovered the dramatic impact colors
have on people’s lives. He is the author of the book
Your Name and Colors: Key to Your Beauty, Career,
Personality, Romance and Success. Contact B.P. at (510)

16. ==> Funny Questions Little Boys Ask about Sex
Do mommies poop out babies? Do spiders move into a
woman’s vagina after she has a baby? If I want to have
children someday do my wife and I have to have sex?
Little boys love to ask questions about sex and some of
them are so outrageous that you can’t help but laugh.
No one knows this better than Diane Auten, author of
“The Joys of Raising Boys: the Good, the Bad, and the
Hilarious.” A professor and communication expert, she
wrote down the crazy questions her sons Bradley and
Nate asked in the first ten years of their lives and
recorded the conversations that ensued after she
answered them. Your audience will learn that kids are
paying attention to what they hear and see—including TV
commercials for Viagra. Diane frequently speaks to
parents about communicating more effectively with their
kids. Reach her at (805) 215-1324;

17. ==> Why Is There So Much Hate in the U.S.?
Hardly a day goes by in which we don’t hear about
workplace shootings, racial tensions, road rage
incidents, immigration hysteria, and heated rhetoric
from the left and the right. When did America go from
being the land of the free to the land of the haters?
And who or what is enabling them? Media veteran Emily
Slingluff says, “Don’t blame politicians … blame
parents!” Invite her on air to explain what parents
must stop doing if we are going to once again have a
civil country. A child-rearing expert, Emily is the
author of multiple books including “A Present to the
Newborn.” Contact her at (757) 428-6167;

18. ==> This Scientist Says He Can Prove That God
Exists
While science and religion have long been considered
mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
his good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved
great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18
patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a
loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just
become a first-time author of a well-received book that
reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith
comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
physics has proven the existence of a power or force
beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by
applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his
daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they
never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but
powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is
the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness:
Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within”. Contact
him at DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607) 304-3329.
19. ==> Interview the Master of Self-Healing
Physical and emotional problems are showing up more and
more in the lives of everyone and we are being flooded
with advertising that promises help. People are
frustrated and confused to say the least. Ed Kuiper, an
author, speaker and teacher, will show your listeners
how to self-heal themselves naturally… on the air!
Results will be immediate for most, and give your
station great visibility as your audience tells
everyone what happened to them. An officer of two

20. ==> Former Miss America Contestant – Replace Your
Bucket List with a ‘Trash It’ List
While growing up dirt poor on a farm in rural South
Carolina, Jane Jenkins Herlong had to learn how to
trash negative thoughts and people in order to become a
successful woman. “I learned to throw away negative
talk and train my brain to be positive in order tackle
insurmountable odds,” she says. Jane went from being a
homely, bullied farm girl to the Miss America pageant,
singing at Radio City Music Hall, getting inducted into
the Speaker Hall of Fame, becoming a Sirius XM comedian
and best-selling author. “I believe you, too, can set
your best goals and take a shot if you throw out the
trash in your life!” Jane is the author of numerous
critically acclaimed books including “Rhinestones on My
Flip Flops: Choosing Extravagant Joy in the Midst of
Everyday Mess-ups” and “Bury Me with My Pearls: Humor
with a Spiritual Twist.” Contact her at
