=======================================
1. ==> Netanyahu’s Prolonged Disinformation Campaign
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a
robust defense Tuesday of a dramatic presentation in
which he accused Iran of “brazenly lying” over its
nuclear ambitions, after claims that he had revealed
nothing new. Journalist Gareth Porter says, “Netanyahu
hasn’t just repeated old history about an alleged
Iranian nuclear weapons program, as news media have
suggested in their coverage of his theatrical
presentation. He has revealed that the whole collection
of documents (that were used by the Bush administration
to indict Iran for having such an alleged covert
nuclear weapons program) was fabricated by the Israelis
themselves. Telling details in his presentation not
only show these are the documents that surfaced in 2004
but that they were crude forgeries.” Invite Porter to
discuss evidence of forgery of the entire collection of
documents. Gareth Porter is a noted independent
investigative journalist and author of the book
“Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran
Nuclear Scare.” Contact him at

2. ==> Who Wants a Sprint T-Mobile Merger?
After years of talks and two break-ups, T-Mobile and
Sprint finally agreed to their $26 billion telecom
merger. Now, regulators will take a look at the plan
and Matt Wood is among those hoping it gets a thumbs-
down. “No one but T-Mobile and Sprint executives and
Wall Street brokers wants to see this merger go
through. Greed and a desire to reach deeper into
people’s wallets by taking away their choices are the
only things motivating this deal. The combined entity
here would just use this deal to line its own pockets,
pay down the massive debt these companies carry, and
reward shareholders with more stock buybacks. It would
fund further acquisitions of content companies, too.”
Matt Wood is Policy Director at Free Press. Free Press
is an independent organization that promotes fair and
equal access to media and technology. Contact Timothy

3. ==> The Story of WWII’s Flying Tigers
Listeners may recall images of the shark-face nose art
on the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, but they may not know the
story behind the pilots who flew the iconic planes.
Invite Samuel Kleiner to share the story of 300
American pilots who were secretly recruited to defend
the nation’s desperate Chinese allies before Pearl
Harbor and ended up on the front lines of the war
against the Japanese in the Pacific. You’ll hear
fascinating details of the mission, including how the
group traveled to Burma in the fall of 1941 under false
identities and trained with legendary general Claire
Chennault with the idea that they would be supporting
Chiang Kai-shek’s China in its battle with Japan. They
were consequently in place when Pearl Harbor was bombed
and the Flying Tigers began their first flights 12 days
later, helping to keep the Japanese occupied as U.S.
troops were built up. Samuel Kleiner is the author of
“The Flying Tigers: The Untold Story of the American
Pilots Who Waged a Secret War Against Japan.” Contact

4. ==> May 4th is National Star Wars Day!
Are we closer than we think to leaving Earth? Escaping
our “doomed” planet? Is our space program looking more
like Star Wars and Lost in Space? Interview Dr. Paul
Wand, author of “Earth 2.0 Exodus: Escaping our Doomed
Planet,” about how factual these shows really are.
He’ll entertain your audience by discussing all things
sci-fi and explain how the development of quantum
computers – now a reality – will change everything.
Wand’s study of the trajectory of real science makes
science fiction more believable than ever! A science
fiction fan since the original Star Trek series in the
‘60s, Wand is well versed not only in the lore but also
the facts behind the science fictions shows and movies
we have all grown up with and love. Dr. Wand, who
specializes in Neurology by day, has created a unique
“factual science fiction” genre that gives him the
inside track on where future Artificial Intelligence
might be heading, why the configuration of his star
ship could work, and why the eventual demise of the
Earth will most likely be caused by the sun. Contact

6. ==> It’s Time Moms Stop Putting Their Needs Last!
May 13 is Mother’s Day, a time to celebrate the woman
who raised us, often putting her needs ahead of ours.
But according to Suzette Webb, it’s also a time to
offer mothers the chance to let go of the notion that
they have to put themselves last in order to be a good
mom. Invite this inspiring guest on air to encourage
mothers everywhere to set aside time to engage in
activities that bring them joy—and not just on Mother’s
Day—because a mother who engages in play is an even
better role model. Whether it’s gardening, coloring, a
spa treatment or going out with girlfriends or having a
tea party to celebrate their own accomplishments,
Suzette will help mothers recharge, particularly those
who are the glue holding it all together for everyone
else at home, work or both. In fact, she’ll explain how
women can relinquish their role as the family glue to
become like Velcro (being there when needed, but
detaching when necessary) and Teflon (allowing some
things to slide and take their own natural course).
Suzette holds an MBA from the Kellogg Graduate School
of Northwestern University. She is a mother,
entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and the author of
“Blues to Blessings.” Reach her at (708) 261-3303;

7. ==> Real Super Heroes – Single Moms
Whether divorced, widowed or a single-parent by choice,
some moms are on duty 24/7 and deserve special
acknowledgement for their superhuman stamina on
Mother’s Day. Invite Sara Sherman, BA, MS, to talk
about ways to honor single moms, what they really want
for Mother’s Day, and how despite the enormous
challenges involved, she’s managed to raise her
children while earning two degrees AND working full-
time! A speaker, blogger, coach and creator of the Kick
Ass Single Mom Life movement, Sara is the author of
“The Single Mom’s Guide to Getting a Degree” which

with confidence. As a single parent for most of her
adult life, Sara can speak to almost any topic relating
to single parenting. Contact her at (614) 432-2717;

8. ==> Mother’s Day When Mom is the Worst
Mother’s Day is coming and for some people,
particularly women, the holiday is fraught with
landmines. How do you even pick out a card let alone a
gift for a mother who has been hard to please,
belittles you or makes you feel bad about yourself? For
many women (and men) Mother’s Day is something to
ignore or get over with as quickly as possible. Carol-
Ann Hamilton can relate because she grew up with a
mother who was paranoid and schizophrenic. Bring Carol-
Ann on your show to hear how Mother’s Day can be a time
to heal yourself from the aftereffects of less-than-
perfect parenting. She’ll share tips for putting the
past behind you including how she was able to give her
mother’s eulogy truthfully without sugarcoating her
problem behaviors. Carol-Ann is a delightful media
guest and the host of her own radio program, The
Conscious Caregiver. She’s the author of “Coping with
Un-cope-able Parents.” Contact her at (905) 822-2503;

9. ==> Why Should We Be Concerned About Africa?
Sylvanus Ayeni warns that the security of the world is
at stake as long as the widespread poverty in the
nations of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to
worsen. “As perpetrators of terror are driven from
their enclaves in the Middle East and elsewhere, these
poor nations in SSA with dilapidated infrastructure and
defense apparatus could become safe havens for
terrorist organizations.” Ayeni says another area of
concern is the threat of global epidemics. “The
2014/2015 Ebola epidemic which began in West Africa is
a reminder of the global consequences of the poor
healthcare systems in the nations of SSA.” Ayeni, a
retired neurosurgeon, author, and speaker, was born and
raised in Nigeria. His 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 necessary steps
to improve the situation. Dr. Ayeni president of Pan
Africa Children Advocacy Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact him

10. ==> Create Your Own Midlife Job Security
What happens when you’re too young to retire, but too
old to hire? A sudden job loss could throw your current
lifestyle a curve unless you’re prepared. Hovey Smith
says the only job security that anyone holds is what
they can control. The author of “Create Your Own Job
Security by Starting Your Own Business at Midlife,” can
discuss how to examine short, medium and long-term
business opportunities that you can have ready to
launch when you need it most. From E-Bay sales to new
products, providing services and even the arts, Smith
says just about anything you can imagine can be turned
into a moneymaking opportunity and it’s a myth that a
person can do only one business in his lifetime. Hovey
Smith is the author of 15 books and has produced
hundreds of YouTube videos. With multiple academic
degrees, he has spoken at business forums in China and
Austria. Contact him at (478) 552-7455;

11. ==> The Secret to Building a Profitable Business
The #1 reason to go into business is to make money.
Yet, many small businesses aren’t very profitable. In
fact, many business owners work harder and earn less
than their counterparts in the workforce. But it
doesn’t have to be that way. Patricia Stallworth,
a business and money coach, will explain the process of
building a profitable business and a secure financial
future at the same time. Invite her to share basic
strategies like planning and cash flow to help the
entrepreneurs in your audience build better businesses
and lives. Patricia blends the skills she learned in
working with Fortune 100 companies and small businesses
with money strategies to create custom solutions for
her clients. Her upcoming book, “BAM!: A Simple

12. ==> Tired of Allergy Shots and Pills? Natural,
Cheap Relief
Spring has sprung! The trees are budding, the flowers
are blooming and the birds are singing. While it’s
beautiful to behold, it can be agony for people with
seasonal allergies. Many sufferers spend a small

13. ==> Never be Wrong Again
Whether you’re contemplating a career change, buying a
house or a move across the country, we all face big
decisions in our lives. It’s common to put off making
tough choices because you don’t want to be wrong or
cause yourself or others unnecessary pain and
expense–financial, emotional, or any other kind of
toll. Invite Michael Angelo Costa to explain the secret
to mastering big decisions and making the right choice.
You’ll learn the four key factors to consider before
making any important decision and become less-stressed

14. ==> Traumatic Brain Injuries – It’s Not Just
Athletes
We often hear about concussions and other brain
injuries involving pro football players, but ordinary
people, including one-in-five teens, also sustain these
injuries causing headaches, nausea, dizziness,
insomnia, depression, lack of concentration, and more.
Invite Susana Stoica, Ph.D., to discuss her difficult
15-year battle to recover from a brain injury and how
others can avoid the same mistakes. Dr. Stoica will
discuss what to do after suffering a brain trauma, how
to limit post-trauma brain swelling or secondary brain
injury, whether the body can ever completely heal from
a brain trauma, and how conventional medical treatments
fail to address all the components of healing the
brain. You’ll learn the physical and emotional toll of
brain injuries on sufferers and their families, as well
as how anyone can improve their brain function at any
age. Susana Stoica, Ph.D., the founder of Healing
Alternatives, LLC, is a healer, engineer, inventor, and
speaker. In July, she will be giving a workshop on
brain injury recovery at Harvard Medical School. Her
new book is “Heal Your Brain, Reclaim Your Life.”

?
Springtime means baseball, and Little Leaguers
everywhere are gearing up and taking to the field.

bumps and bruises that come with hard ball play, but
the latest trends in youth sports leagues are revealing
that some kids are playing too hard. Dr. Thomas
Neviaser, retired orthopedist, talks about the risks
young athletes take when they specialize too early and
play too long. He’ll discuss what he’s seen over his 30
years as an orthopedic surgeon, and how your future
Mickey Mantle, Serena Williams, or Tom Brady can stay
fit, healthy, and active without risking a life-
altering injury. Dr. Tom’s illustrious career spanned
the beginnings of arthroscopic surgery to the very
latest, cutting-edge methodologies of today. He would

stories about kids and drowning incidents. Carolanne
Caron says everyone should be able to enjoy the water,
but there are definitely safety issues that need to be
taught to everyone, especially kids. She says, “Many
children don’t know what rules they should follow when

19. ==> May 8th World Ovarian Cancer Day
Ovarian cancer is a disease that is often misdiagnosed
or discovered too late to save women’s lives. Of all
female cancers, it has the lowest survival rate and

Coken, the daughter of a health-obsessed woman who died
of the disease, wants to spread awareness of the
symptoms of ovarian cancer and help women talk to their
doctors about them. Invite Jen on your show and learn

20. ==> The Secret to Eating Just One Chip

myth. Sora, a former elementary school teacher who lost
25 pounds and has kept them off for decades, has helped
hundreds of people discover the secret for knowing when
to stop eating. She is the author of the Amazon
