1. ==> Monsanto: “Beat the S*** Out of Mothers”
Jurors in California recently punished Monsanto with a
record $2 billion verdict over its Roundup weed killer.
Now, the law firm representing the plaintiff has
released eye-opening documents showing the agribusiness
corporation’s attitude toward mothers, specifically the
activist group Moms Across America. In a series of
emails Monsanto execs discuss beating the s*** out of
moms, dumb mothers, and fun ways to discredit the
organic industry. Invite Zen Honeycutt, the founding
executive director of Moms Across America, to discuss
being one of the targets of Monsanto’s “Let Nothing Go”
campaign. She says, “Although the misogynistic and
violent language in Monsanto’s emails are shocking, I
am not surprised. I have been experiencing online
attacks, likely from Monsanto’s “Let Nothing Go”
campaign, for years. However, the truly troubling issue
isn’t the disturbing behavior of a few men, but the
fact that Bayer and our federal government continue to
completely disregard public health by continuing to
sell Roundup and glyphosate herbicides.” Zen initiated
the first testing for glyphosate in tap water, breast
milk, and urine and spearheaded the non-profit’s
successful petition to Costco to remove Roundup from
their shelves. She’s been featured on ABC, CNN, The Dr.
Oz Show, the Wall Street Journal, CSPAN, Fox News,
Reuter’s, Huffington Post, and many other media
outlets. Contact Mara Quigley at

3.==> They Really Are Animals – A New Way to
Understand Teens
Teenagers! They’re moody, chatty and socially awkward.
They have bad hair days, their voices change, and they
worry about who likes them. And let’s be honest, they
can be animals! “Exactly!” say Harvard evolutionary
biologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD and science
writer Kathryn Bowers. Invite them on your show to
offer a new lens on human adolescence through the lives
of other animals! Learn how teens and their animal
counterparts all confront four fundamental challenges:
how to stay safe, how to live with others, how to
communicate sexually, and how to live independently,
and hear how wild animal “teens” with raging hormones
take crazy risks—and take more of them under peer
pressure. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers are
the authors of “Wildhood: The Epic Journey from
Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals.”

4. ==> 50th Anniversary – The Real Motive for Manson
Murders
On August 9, 1969, Ivor Davis, an investigative
journalist for the London Daily Express, was at the
Tate LA Bianca murder scene before noon, surrounded by
the Los Angeles and foreign press. He followed the case
intently and interviewed Manson Family members, and ex-
members, gathering an intricate picture of the cult and
its charismatic leader, Charles Manson. Before the
trial began in the summer of 1970, Davis co-authored
the first book published on the Tate murders, “Five to
Die.” Sitting in the front row of the courtroom, he
says he was flabbergasted to hear the prosecutor’s
opening statement that it was the Beatles’ White Album
and the secret messages inside songs like Helter
Skelter that turned the young cult members into
murders. David says, “I knew that Manson had an
obsession with the Beatles, especially the White Album,
but from my several days of interviews with family
members at the Spahn Ranch, I learned the real reasons
for the murders. And it had nothing to do with the
Beatles.” Invite Ivor Davis on your show and learn the
real reason for the murders, why the Helter Skelter
theory was used by prosecutors, and many unknown
aspects of the gruesome story. Ivor Davis’ new book is
“Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s 50-Year Journey into
Madness and Murder.” Contact Kathleen Kaiser at (805)
607-6717 or Kathleen@kathleenkaiser.com
5. ==> This Woodstock-Era Singer-Songwriter on a World
Peace Mission
When a Woodstock-era singer-songwriter who shared the
stage with the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead
discovers the formula by which the entire earth planet
can live in perfect peace and Barack Obama praises the
song in which he presents this formula, he is most
definitely worth a listen. His name is Sankarshan Das
and he circles the globe twice a year to enlighten his
audiences through speaking and singing how they can
awaken perfect peace within themselves and be
instrumental in bringing a peace revolution to our
greatly troubled planet. He’s the author of the
upcoming book “A Hippie Becomes a Happy.” Contact him
at (512) 835-8400: sd@turnontheworld.com
6. ==> Why America’s Educational System is Failing Our
Kids
Back-to-School means more than new pencils and
backpacks. Students are also going back to an
educational system that is increasingly failing them,
says Andrew Bernstein, Ph.D., who has taught college
and some high school classes for 30 years. During that
time, he says, he has witnessed the decline in academic
preparedness of his students to the point where he no
longer assigns essays to his philosophy students. But
Bernstein says it’s not too late to fix the problem.
Invite him to discuss why so many kids struggle to
read, why American students know so little math and
history, and why U.S. students score poorly, relative
to kids from other countries, on international tests.
Bernstein has been interviewed on hundreds of radio
shows and appeared on several prominent TV news shows,
including Neil Cavuto’s. He is the author of several
books including the upcoming “Why Johnny Still Can’t
Read or Write, Spell, or Understand Math–and What We
Can Do About It.” Contact Andrew Bernstein at (845)

7. ==> How Do We Depolarize America?
What causes polarization and how can we reduce it if
not outright eliminate it? Rachel Williams-Smith,
Ph.D., Ed.D., has a unique vantage point on the fear
that leads people to view others as less-human and what
we can do about it. Dr. Rachel grew up as a child of
extremist parents who thought the world was about to
end, so they moved to a remote homestead where they had
little contact with outsiders and lived with no modern
conveniences. Dr. Rachel grew up fearing the larger
world. When she was 16 and her father abandoned the
family, she found herself living in a world she had
been taught to shun. Her fascinating story and the
insights she can share about learning to appreciate
other people who don’t think as you do could not be
timelier. Dr. Rachel is the author of “Born Yesterday:
The True Story of a Girl Born in the 20th Century but
Raised in the 19th.” Now the dean of the School of
Journalism and Communication at Southern Adventist
University, Dr. Rachel is an experienced media guest
who speaks about the effects of extreme religion. Reach

8. ==> Surprising Reason Sex Offenders Go Free: Closing
a Sexual Assault Legal Loophole
Jeffrey Epstein will never stand trial for the crimes
he was accused of because he committed suicide, but
Joyce Short says plenty of other men escape jail time
for sex crimes for a different reason. “Rape is
prohibited in all states, but the laws on consent and
the definitions of the crime differ wildly from state
to state.” Short says, “Consent is not confusing, it’s
our laws that are the problem!” An expert witness on
consent and a sexual abuse survivor, Short is currently
working with legislators across the U.S. to change the
laws. Her efforts have created consent and sex crime
bills that are pending in IN, and SC and she’s working
on more states, including PA and NY. Her media credits
include BuzzFeed, Nightline, The CBS Evening News,
Inside Edition and more. Contact Ms. Short at
Info@ConsentAwareness.net; (917) 517-8572.
9. ==> Why Vacations Can Be Deadly for Marriage
A University of Washington study a few years ago found
the number of divorces spike in August and March,
coinciding with the end of vacation season; researchers
theorized that marital splits were occurring after the
intimacy couples expected from their vacations failed
to materialize. During the 15 years that Beth Liebling
was a divorce attorney, she noticed the spike too, and
kept it in mind when she switched gears and
professions. Now a relationship expert, Liebling helps
couples rediscover what it means to passionately love
each other A firm believer that monogamy shouldn’t mean
monotony, she’ll share ways to regain that ‘teenager-
in-love’ feeling, how to stop having BMS (boring,
married sex) or ABC Sex (Anniversary, Birthday, and
Christmas Sex), and why men should not be afraid of
vibrators and women should buy men underwear. Ask about
her upcoming Couples Camp, a 3-day, high-end luxury
camp in Orlando this October. Beth Liebling is the
author of “Love and Laughter: Sexy (Meaningful) Fun for
Everyone.” She’s the host of Love and Laughter with
Beth, a radio talk show that first aired on ESPN.

10. ==> Should You Adopt a Frozen Embryo?
Countless couples long for their first child or to
expand their families — yet fertility issues or other
health-related concerns could be interfering. Such
would-be parents often consider adoption, yet still
hope to experience the miracle of giving birth. With
today’s fertility technologies, many couples can do
both. Interview Nate Birt to learn how he and his wife
welcomed their sweet daughter, Phoebe, who started as a
frozen embryo but was implanted, brought to term and
delivered by the Birts last year. Invite Nate to share
his heartwarming family adoption story and help other
couples by exploring questions like: How do you find
available resources and experts for adopting embryos?
What does it take to qualify? How does the process
work? How can this path to parenthood change our
beliefs about the unborn? Nate is the author of
“Frozen, But Not Forgotten: An Adoptive Dad’s Step-by-
Step Guide to Embryo Adoption.” Contact Nate Birt at
(573) 253-0140; nathanjbirt@gmail.com
11. == > What’s Your Compulsive Habit? And How to Stop
it!
Just about all of us have an addiction or a compulsive
habit that controls our behavior and choices. One in
three people is overtly addicted to something – like
alcohol or drugs – but virtually two out of three are
covertly addicted to something—and they may not even
realize it! Subtle behaviors like gossiping, judging
others, people pleasing, shopping and working can all
be compulsive. Interview Michael McGee, MD, about the
science of habit and his “Good now, Bad later”
philosophy to help your audience figure out if they
have compulsive habits and what to do about them! Dr.
McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical Schools
and has helped hundreds of patients beat their
addictions. He is the author of “The Joy of Recovery:
The New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction.”

12. ==> Raise Emotionally Healthy Kids – Without
Driving Yourself Crazy
News alert! Children are not small adults. They don’t
think or act like adults. They’re not supposed to. So,
as parents, don’t drive yourself bonkers trying to make
that happen. Rather, as parents responsible for guiding
youth towards becoming adults, let’s first help them
become happy, responsible, and emotionally healthy
children (especially as the new school year begins). So
says Paul Bernabei, author of “Top 20 Parents” and four
other books on human development. Interview Paul to
discover practical and essential strategies for
managing the challenges of the parenting journey. He’ll
help countless appreciative moms and dads understand
what’s going on inside themselves to better develop the
potential within their children. Invite call-in
questions and parenting insights/concerns to explore.

13. ==> Health Hacks to Beat Text-Neck
We love our smartphones and tablets, but health
professionals say they’re causing an epidemic of ‘text-
neck’ among adults and children. Nathalie Beauchamp,
D.C., IFMCP, an Ottawa-based doctor of chiropractic and
certified functional medicine practitioner with the
Institute of Functional Medicine, says looking down at
your device for hours at a time changes the position of
your head and neck, causing poor posture. She’ll
explain how that can lead to health problems like
headaches, a flattened spinal curve, disc damage,
muscle damage and reduced blood flow to the brain.
Invite her on your show and learn what your head has in
common with a bowling ball, ways to use your phone that
are kind to your spine and hacks to help compensate for
a sedentary life, like standing desks, walking meetings
and scheduling time to move. Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp has
appeared on numerous radio and TV programs and writes
about health and wellness for a variety of
publications. She has her own YouTube channel and is
the founder of the weekly “What the Hack?!” podcast.
Dr. Beauchamp’s latest book is “Hack Your Health
Habits: Simple Action-Driven, Natural Health Solutions
for People On the Go!” Contact her at (206) 905 9720;

14. ==> Could Your Kid Be Addicted to Sugar? Could You?
Did you know that sugar is now considered the alcohol
of the child? Did you also know that young people
between the ages of 17-34 now have coronary artery
disease–or that many Americans are now unable to enjoy
their long-awaited retirement years due to needless
suffering from diseases created by a lifetime of food
addiction? Get ready for an eye-opening show as Emily
Boller gives your audience the keys to escape addictive
food that can ruin your health. Emily Boller lost 100
lbs. and reclaimed her health eleven years ago by

15. ==> Before You Slather On that Sunscreen…
We’ve all been warned to wear sun protection, but how
safe are the sunscreens we pick? Did you know that many
of the most popular products contain substances that
interfere with our hormones, and chemicals that may be
contaminated with carcinogens? Marcela Popa, M.D., will
reveal what types of sunscreens are safest, why creams
and lotions are better than sprays, and what those SPF
numbers really mean when it comes to sun protection.
Listeners will learn what ingredients to avoid, and
better alternatives, as well as where to find them.
You’ll also hear what may be lurking in other home and
personal products your family uses. Dr. Marcela Magda
Popa is a board certified Internal Medicine physician

16. ==> Benefits of 21st Century Meditation… What
YOU’LL Want to Know
Have you joined the millions of wise people (from Oprah
to Howard Stern to many of your own colleagues and
friends) who meditate daily? How will this benefit you
by reducing stress and avoiding stress-related
ailments, from headaches to heart problems and from
arthritis to asthma? How does meditation help in
successfully treating addictions and anxiety, and even
preventing/dropping bad habits? Learn more about
solving our 21st Century lifestyle issues with
meditation methods that have been around for millennia.
Interview meditation expert, author and speaker John
Sambalino. He’ll debunk myths about meditation and help
countless people, in your audience and studio/office,
improve their lives. Your guest will even discuss how
meditation helps prison inmates become more
rehabilitated, and ideally avoid future crimes. “Is God
in That Bottle Cap? A Search for Truth” is John
Sambalino’s latest book. Contact him at (609) 238-2775;
jsambalino@gmail.com
17. ==> Are You Guilty of Marginalizing People?
Making assumptions about other people is something all
of us do—oftentimes, unconsciously. But when we assume
that people are specific things because they, for
example, drive a certain type of car or work at
Walmart, wear nose rings and sport tattoos, are elderly
or have a different religion than we do it’s easy to
marginalize them and view them as “the other.” Invite
Wade Meadows on your show for a wake-up call about
taking the time to see other people for who they really
are, not who we mistake them to be. Wade says it’s time
we started hanging out with people who are different
than us, talking to them, breaking bread with them and
learning from them. He can also talk about the impact
the words we use with our children will have on their
identities and how they will treat those they encounter
throughout life. Having endured an abusive childhood at
the hands of a mother who told him he was ugly and
worthless, Wade has grown into an unusually empathetic
man who is out to change the world. Wade may even have
your audience members rethinking their own identities.
He is the author of “Letters from the Ashes” and “Ashes
Forged into Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697;

18. ==> Are Mass Murderers Formed in the Crib?
Americans were shocked again by mass murders with high
death tolls in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas,
carried out by men in their twenties. As a nation, we
continue to grapple with why these incidents happen.
However, many people are being told that mental health
issues cause this horrible violence. Media veteran and
child-rearing expert Emily Slingluff can discuss ways
to influence children’s formative years toward
happiness instead of hatred and despair. Emily is the
author of multiple books and articles about parenting.
She was named The Fulltime Homemaker of the Year for
the State of Virginia by Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle
Forum shortly after her first book, “A Present to the
Newborn,” came out. She is a graduate of Sweet Briar
College with a degree in government and economics and
was an assistant editor of The Virginian-Pilot. Contact
her at (757) 800-0246; eslingluff@rtirguests.com
19. ==> How Far Would You Go to Promote Your Spouse’s
Legacy?
Many people love their spouses very much but few will
devote themselves to preserving that spouse’s legacy
after they pass away. Marguerite Berrah—who prefers to
be called Mrs. Berrah—finds herself in that rare
position. She is the wife of the late Ghoulem Berrah,
whose considerable accomplishments include being a
freedom fighter, working as a diplomat, promoter of
world peace and physician and scientist credited with a
DNA breakthrough. Invite Mrs. Berrah to share some of
her husband’s adventures contained in his memoir, “A
Dream for Peace,” and how their 40-year-marriage
clicked despite him being a Muslim and her being a
Catholic. You might also ask her about her husband’s
secret Paris meeting with PLO Yasser Arafat’s senior
advisor Isam Sartawi and the Israeli Council for
Israeli-Palestinian Peace, the famous people Ghoulem
met, his work promoting religious tolerance and the
foundation that bears his name. Contact Marguerite
Berrah at (305) 933-6088; berrahghoulem@icloud.com
20. ==> Success in 7 Steps
It’s been said that knowing what you want is half the
battle, but there’s still a lot more left to achieving
your goals! After 30 years in business and over a
decade in researching, Steve McNicholas has discovered
7 essential ‘code blocks’ that underpin success,
achievement and winning… in business and life! He’ll
discuss the fundamental themes of ownership, purpose,
systems and mindset and share how when applied in
sequence, tremendous personal and professional success,
happiness and fulfilment can follow. Steve says,
“Understanding and applying these 7 blocks enables a
sequence and pattern—effectively the ‘source code’ of
success—to kick in and enable individuals, teams or
even businesses to win at whatever it is they are
focused on.” Steve McNicholas’ new book “Unlocking the
SUCCESS Code: The 7 Step Process to Succeed in Life and
Work” is the culmination of 10+ years of research,
application, learning and interviewing many of the
leading names in personal and business development.
