1. ==> Climate Change and Ecosocialism
A new United Nations assessment concludes that as many
as one million plant and animal species are now at risk
of extinction because of man-made changes to the
Earth’s landscape. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says
that’s not a bad thing and that melting sea ice is
opening new passageways and opportunities for trade.
Invite teacher, activist and author Victor Wallis to
discuss what’s going on. “Pompeo is confirming that
climate change is indeed taking place and is something
to rejoice in! However, the very ice-melting that makes
him salivate will lead, at the same time, to the
submersion of coastal regions — including major
population centers — around the world.” Wallis says
apart from ecological concerns the situation is also
behind tens of millions of refugees fleeing droughts,
storms and wars. “Increasing percentages of the
refugees, if they survive their typically harrowing
treks or dangerous sea voyages, come up against vast
numbers of agents ‘trained, armed, and paid to stop
them.’ This drive to ‘stop them’ is promoted by a
ruling class which at the same time relentlessly stokes
the economic engines of capital that gave rise to the
climate crisis in the first place.” Victor Wallis is
the author of “Red-Green Revolution: The Politics and
Technology of Ecosocialism.” Contact him at

2. ==> How to Survive a Mass Shooting
One student is dead and eight others injured after two
of their classmates opened fire at a suburban Denver
school this week. How would you react if caught in a
public place where streams of bullets put you in mortal
danger? Would you know how to escape an active
shooter’s attack? Should you fight back? Play dead?
Run? Stay locked in a room, closet or car? Shield
others? Use special tactics to protect yourself? And
what should your kids know? Explore the vital answers
with personal protection specialist Allen Banks, CEO of
Proactive Protection Agency. He has developed Active
Shooter Prevention and Workplace Violence Prevention
Training, and also a special program for schools and
other public settings. In this era of violent attacks
and even terrorism, you and your loved ones and
colleagues will want to hear this specialist’s life-
saving insights and advice. Invite audience questions!

3. ==> Archie Harrison: What the New Royal Name Means
Meghan and Harry have named their first child Archie
Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Invite B.P. Greycastle to
discuss the choice and what it means. He says, “Archie
will love music and his parents should play music
around him. He’ll also like things neat, clean and
organized.” He adds, “Archie could excel in the fields
of music, archeology and money management and will be
physically impulsive. He’ll also have a compassionate
heart and will be very moral.” Greycastle will reveal
how names and colors determine your personality traits
and talents as they correlate to your seven energy
centers: spiritual, intellectual, vocal, physical,
control, emotional and sexual. “The richest people have
certain color types,” he explains. “Ninety percent of
them are purple spiritual center people. William Gates
is one example.” He’ll illustrate on-air using a vast
array of lists, facts and figures how the most famous
and successful people in practically every career field
owe their success to their names, with astonishing
accuracy. B.P. Greycastle is the author of “Your Name
and Colors: Key to Your Beauty, Career, Personality,
Romance and Success.” Contact him at

4. ==> 4 Ways a Mother Matters
In time for Mother’s Day this Sunday, invite parenting
expert Emily Slingluff on your program to reveal the
four huge ways mothers matter in their children’s
lives—perhaps more than ever! She can also answer such
questions as are mothers more important than fathers?
Do children suffer when their mother does not stay at
home with them full time? What role do mothers play in
reducing hate? Emily has been writing about the
importance of mothers for 30 years. She was named
Fulltime Homemaker of the Year for the State of
Virginia by Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle Forum shortly
after her first book came out. Her newest book is
“Choosing Happiness.” She is a graduate of Sweet Briar
College with a degree in government and economics and
was an assistant editor at The Virginia-Pilot. Contact
her at (757) 800-0246; eslingluff@rtirguests.com
5. ==> What Moms Need Most: Belly Laughs!
Unless they have a brother or two, most women are
genuinely surprised by just how amusing, gross, and
silly their sons can be. Diane Auten was no exception.
“Kids are the most hysterical and entertaining beings
on Earth,” Auten says. Knowing what a difficult job
motherhood can be, Auten wants to give mothers
everywhere a priceless present—the ability to laugh
aloud and compare notes on the funny situations little
boys naturally create around them. Being a ‘boymom’ is
totally optional to enjoying this topic as Auten shares
surprising things little boys say about sex and their
bodies, what makes the mother-son bond so special, and
how to connect better with the boys in our lives.
Auten, a professor of speech communication, wrote down
the crazy questions her young sons asked and recorded
the conversations that ensued. The stories were such a
big hit on social media they became the foundation of
her ‘momoir,’ “The Joys of Raising Boys: the Good, the
Bad, and the Hilarious.” Contact her at (805) 440-6532;

6. ==> How to Survive a Crazy Mom
Not everyone lives with June Cleaver. In fact, few moms
live up to that artificial standard. What happens when
Mom is the polar opposite? You have a few choices –
ignore her, walk away, deal with it or let yourself get
as crazy as she is. Sometimes you do them all. Annie
Evans knows. She’s been there and done that. She will
give you a show to remember as she tells her experience
– exploring the mother/daughter relationship at its
very core. Evans will help audiences learn how to
recover from non-existent parenting and broken trust.
She’ll offer ways to overcome the effects, and even
PTSD, that a mother’s mental illness leaves behind.
Contact her at aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.
7. ==> Do a Show on Forgiveness for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is meant to be a day to celebrate moms who
loved and nurtured us. However, not all of us had
mothers who fit that description. If you had a mother
who made you feel worthless every day of your life
beginning as a young child could you forgive her? Wade
Meadows did. In fact, he was her caregiver when she was
dying. Wade will reveal how he was able to let go of
all the traumatic things his mother put him through in
order to forgive her and emotionally free himself. This
insightful upbeat guest will inspire other people to
find peace despite their own chaotic upbringings and
perhaps bring about a few mother and child reunions.
Wade is the author of “Letters from the Ashes” and
Ashes Forged into Manhood.” Reach him at 225) 224-8697;

8. ==> How the Catholic Church Got Away with Child
Abuse
The Catholic church child sex abuse scandal has
dominated the news in recent times, with thousands of
victims from around the world coming forward.
Shockingly, many clergy members have received mere
slaps on the wrist. According to Raleigh Sadler, a
Christian reverend and founder of the human trafficking
awareness group Let My People Go, it’s a matter of too
much power. “These institutions are very powerful,
which is why abusers often aren’t prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law,” he says. That’s why Raleigh
and his group are working toward ensuring that churches
are sanctuaries where the most vulnerable among us can
feel safe, and he can share what society as a whole can
do to end the horror. He is the author of “Vulnerable:
Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact Raleigh at
RSadler@rtirguests.com; (917) 341-6758
9. ==> Why Travelling the World is Cheaper Than Staying
Home
Ask people why they don’t travel and many will say they
can’t afford it. But internationally acclaimed travel
expert Chris Herrmann begs to differ. In fact, he makes
the seemingly outrageous claim that it is cheaper to
travel the world than to stay home! Invite him on air
to explain why this is so, as well as which countries
are veritable bargains. He’ll also share some of the
adventures he had when he backpacked around the world
at age 62 and how he is currently traveling across
North America in a luxury RV for $20 a day. Possessed
with a lovely Australian accent, this media-savvy guest
skewers other reasons people give for avoiding travel
(i.e. it’s too dangerous, I’m too young or too old; I
don’t have the time to plan, etc.). Chris is the author
of “The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel.” He hopes his
story will inspire others to challenge themselves.
Chris has appeared on TV, radio, and in print media
across Australia. Reach him at (215) 883-4319;

10. ==> Former Agent Reveals Behind-the-Scenes IRS
Chaos
April 15 has come and gone, but millions of Americans
are still angry because of the complicated, stressful
taxation they must navigate. 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 by revealing how the Internal Revenue
Service is staffed year-round by slow-moving staff
using antiquated technology. As your guest, Green will
answer questions like: What types of IRS
miscommunication and lack of cooperation happen? How do
taxpayers suffer because of such poor service? Are
decisions for audits fair? Only someone like Green,
who’s seen it firsthand, can blow the whistle on the
chaotic IRS. Richard Green has authored “Agents of
Deceit.” Contact him at (909) 570-1509;
rgreen@rtirguests.com.
11. ==> Been-There Psychotherapist: How to Live Without
Anxiety
Audiences listen intently when psychotherapist Elke
Scholz talks about managing and reducing anxiety for
more fulfilling (and longer!) life. She has deserved
and happily claims the moniker “Anxiety Warrior” when
helping people overcome fears, panic, worrisome days
and sleepless nights. But she does more than recommend
how to corral anxiety in personal and professional
life. She tells of her own anxiety battles, and how she
turned her life around. Invite Elke on-air to explore
questions like these: Why is workplace anxiety such an
onslaught? What about anxiety triggered by a traumatic
event, a lifestyle interruption, a health challenge or
seemingly nothing identified? What does a life managing
anxiety feel like? Does therapy ever need to include
meds? What simple activities encourage confidence and
calm? Elke Scholz’ top-selling books including “Loving
Your Life” and “Anxiety Warrior” volumes 1 and 2.

12. ==> Want Happiness? Quit the Pity Party, Put on
Your Big Girl Panties and Deal with Your Life!
That’s the message from Katherine Webster. She’s blunt,
a straight-shooter and a real example of someone who’s
walked the walk. Webster pulled herself up by her
bootstraps from a bad situation out of necessity. She’s
now on a mission to share what she learned to get
others off their butts to do the same. The author of
“Becoming Madam Widow” is a spit-fire who will give you
a blockbuster of a show. She’ll take all the whiners to
task and provide real short and long-termed strategies
to make lasting change in their lives. She’ll also
inspire listeners with her story while she gets them to
stop wallowing in their misery, drowning in self-
sabotage and complaining about their situations. By the
time she’s done, they’ll know how to get out of the
dumpster and head down the path to an unexpected life
of contentment and happiness. Contact her at
KWebster@rtirguests.com or (416) 921-2084.
13. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer
Do you realize you can empower yourself to reduce
physical discomfort, ease anxiety and even slow (or
reverse) the progression of disease? How does illness
send you messages about your body, that you need to
know for longer, healthier life? When working with your
doctors, what should you know about self-healing?
What’s the link between disease and emotions? Explore
the answers when you interview physician and speaker
Dr. Nelie Johnson, initiator of the Forum “It’s Time to
Heal.” Dr. Johnson offers an integrative approach to
treating illness and will discuss what’s been missing
in health care (traditional Western medicine AND
alternative methods) and how patients are best served
when they become an acknowledged part of the health
team. Her upcoming book is “The Healing Message of
Illness.” Contact Dr. Nelie Johnson at (604) 334-3853;

14. ==> The One Trait That Can Failure-Proof Your Life
The most extraordinary people, including Albert
Einstein, DaVinci, Mozart and Steve Jobs, had one
common trait that was the secret to their success:
Intuition. “But this revolutionary inner power is not
just for the elite few; it is the birthright of each
and every one of us,” says Kim Chestney. “It is our
secret ‘Inner Creator’ that makes the difference
between the good and the great, the smart and the wise,
and the ordinary and the extraordinary life.” Einstein
said: “The only real valuable thing is Intuition.” Kim
will illustrate how to tap into this innate trait, with
life-changing results. She is an international best-
selling author and Intuition expert who founded the
popular CREATE! Festival in Pittsburgh, Pa. Her new
global online Intuition school, IntuitionLab is
launching now. Contact her at KChestney@rtirguests.com;
(412) 214-9502.
15. ==> The Real Victims of the College Cheating
Scandal
The recent college admissions scandal has focused on
rich parents who cheated in order to get their kids
into top universities. Jane Jenkins Herlong claims that
they didn’t do their kids any favors. “Apparently, the
new norm is being dishonest in order to help your child
to succeed,” she says. “Unfortunately, this may lead
to failure since disappointments teach us skills to
become successful.” Despite growing up dirt poor on a
farm in the South, a learning disability and scoring
low on her SATs, Jane persisted and earned a college
degree and became a success in life. She is the award-
winning author of four books including “Rhinestones on
My Flip-Flops.” In addition, she has recorded music CDs
and personal growth and comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her
comedy is featured on Sirius XM 97. Contact Jane at
JHerlong@rtirguests.com; (803) 599-2941.
16. ==> Are You a Stressed Mess? This M.D. Has the Cure
Stress really can kill you. According to Steven M.
Hall, M.D., “Fifty percent of the U.S. population is
experiencing one or more stress-related diseases. What
society is doing to mitigate the adverse health effects
of stress isn’t working.” Dr. Steven has discovered a
solution to enable us to become impervious to the
stressors in our lives. And it does not involve
repressing any emotions; quite the opposite. His online
class Taming the Bear: Taking the Bite Out of Stress is
having phenomenal success in people’s lives, and he can
share how to get off of the vicious stress cycle, for
good. Dr. Steven has been practicing family medicine
since 1985. He is the author of “The 7 Tools of
Healing: Unlock Your Inner Wisdom and Live the Life
Your Soul Desires.” Contact Dr. Steven Hall at

17. ==> Is It Time to Turn Off Your Electronics?
Texting and social media can help you to stay
connected, yet at the same time, are they ruining your
relationships with your family members? Invite author
and award-winning screenwriter, TV/film producer, and
journalist Maryann Ridini Spencer to share her tips on
how to cut back on using electronics and start living
in the moment and enjoying life more. Ask her: How can

social media? Maryann’s novel “Lady in the Window”
examines how to fully experience the richness of life.

Pittsburgh architect Louis D. Astorino was the
architect for Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, the
Pirate’s PNC Park, the restoration of Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Fallingwater, and was instrumental in the
downtown display of the Pittsburgh Crèche. He is also
the only American architect to design a building in the
Vatican. His design of the Chapel of the Holy Spirit,

God’s Hands” is an intimate look at the design. Invite

architecture and his engaging and uplifting story of
faith in design. Reach Louis Astorino at (412) 551-3101

20.==> He Saved His Wife from Stage Four Cancer
When Anthony Randle’s wife, Jessica, was diagnosed with
stage four breast cancer, the prognosis was grim. But
Anthony refused to give up hope. After conducting
exhaustive research and devising a simple yet powerful
treatment plan that often defied the doctors’ beliefs,
Jessica sailed through chemo and is now cancer free!
“After every treatment, I wanted her to relax,” Anthony
says. “But she would have so much energy that we would
go play tennis. The ball would rush past me!” Anthony
will reveal how he and his wife made it through this
traumatic experience healthier and happier than ever.
He shares his poignant experiences in his book “The
True Story of a Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver:
The Struggle Within.” Contact Anthony at
