=======================================
1. ==> Hurricane Florence – What to Do Now, During &
After
Hurricane Florence is supposed to come roaring up to
the coast Thursday night and then linger over the area
before heading inland. It’s bad news for the region and
could cause more destruction than previously thought
with whipping winds and torrential rains. Dr. James
Hubbard, aka The Survival Doctor, will share tips on
how to deal with an extended power outage and ways to
treat wounds and injuries when a doctor is out of
reach. He says even though a storm has passed, the
dangers linger. “Clean water is a huge concern. Even
though the water may look clean, it’s a cesspool of
germs and chemicals that can cause anything from a rash
to an infection—on the skin or internally.
Electrocution is a danger whenever there’s flooding,
and then there’s the issue of mosquitoes.” Dr. Hubbard
is a long-time family physician and survival medicine
expert. He shares his common-sense health advice on
dozens of radio shows, podcasts and blogs nationwide,
teaches easy-to-follow, makeshift ways to survive
disasters and in the wild, and is the author of several
books including “The Survival Doctor’s Complete
Handbook: What to Do When Help Is NOT on the Way.”

2. ==> Yes, You Should Evacuate: How to Get People to
Go
Mandatory evacuations have been issued in parts of
three states as Florence makes its way toward the
Carolina coast. And although many residents have
already fled or are preparing to leave, some people
will ultimately stay put. Against the advice of
authorities, these folks will try to weather the
whopper storm. Hilary Bergsieker, an assistant
professor of psychology at University of Waterloo, has
interviewed many hurricane survivors in her research.
“Survivors often mention staying put to help friends
and family, worrying that fleeing without these people
would mean abandoning them,” Bergsieker said. “To
encourage people to evacuate to safety, emphasize that
their loved ones want them to be safe and survive, even
if it means leaving home for a short while. In this
sense, escaping to safety is an act of loyalty and
enacting the hopes others have for you.” Contact her at

3. ==>After the Hurricane Comes the Scam Artists
Hurricane and natural disasters invite scams! Be
prepared not only for the storm, but also for the
aftermath that might invite unscrupulous home repair
people. William Francavilla says thieves know their
victims’ vulnerabilities and seek opportunities to
steal their money. Invite William Francavilla to share
what you can do to avoid being ripped off in a storm-
related repair. Francavilla is the author of “The
Madoffs Among Us, Combat the Scammers, Con Artists and
Thieves Who Are Plotting to Steal your Money.” He’s a
CFP and former senior vice president, director of
Wealth Management for Legg Mason who has extensive
media experience. Contact him at (757) 870-4590;

4. ==> After Moonves- How CBS Culture Needs to Change
CBS CEO and chairman Les Moonves has stepped down amid
sexual misconduct allegations and the board is
conducting an ongoing independent investigation, but S.
Chris Edmonds says CBS can and should change its
workplace culture immediately. He’ll discuss how fear,
intimidation, verbal abuse, belittling, and humiliation
are very present in most workplaces around the globe
today, why the details of workplace culture matter, and
how companies can create and use an Organizational
Constitution. S. Chris Edmonds is the founder and CEO
of The Purposeful Culture Group. a speaker, author, and
executive consultant who served as a senior consultant
with The Ken Blanchard Companies since 1995. Contact

5. ==> With Trump in Crisis, Pence Waits in the Shadows
As crisis after crisis hits the Trump White House,
Michael D’Antonio says there’s one person in particular
who would gain from Trump’s departure—Mike Pence. “The
grave possibility of a crisis that ends the scandal-
scarred Trump presidency could explain the vice
president’s remarkable record of praising the chaotic
commander-in-chief while making himself scarce at
moments of crisis.” He adds, “Between his sycophancy,
which moved George Will to say that Pence could be
‘America’s most repulsive figure,’ and his widely noted
absences, Pence has established a record that would
make him blameless but also acceptable as a successor.
In the role of loyal but often absent vice president,
Pence has retained the support of the Trump base, which
means there would be no great uprising if he assumes
the presidency. Calm would prevail and no proof would
be found linking him to the Resistance.” Michael
D’Antonio is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and CNN
commentator. He’s the author of several books including
the “The Shadow President: The Truth about Vice
President Mike Pence” and “The Truth about Trump.”

6. ==> HBO’s The Deuce- Meets the Princess of 42nd
Street
HBO’s acclaimed series The Deuce is set in New York’s
Times Square during the rise of pornography,
prostitutes and drugs. Romola Hodas says watching the
series with an actor playing her dad is surreal; like
watching her life play out on TV! Romola s father was
known as Times Square’s King of Porn. He almost single-
handedly developed Times Square into New York’s hub of
pornography and adult entertainment in the 60s through
the 80s, when peep shows and live sex acts lined the
streets. As the oldest daughter of Martin Hodas, Romola
grew up in a chaotic whirlwind of swingers, mental
illness, drugs and organized crime. At the same time,
she was also protecting her three siblings from a
mother with bipolar and personality disorder. Invite
her on your show and hear how she survived two
attempted kidnappings, took family vacations with
mobsters, and what she thinks about the series.
Listeners can even win a copy of her book “The Princess
of 42nd Street surviving my childhood as the Daughter
of Times Square’s King of Porn.” Contact Romola Hodas

7. ==> What to Do in September So You Won’t Get Flu in
October
Why does each flu season feel worse than the year
before? “That’s because it is!” says Mylaine Riobe, MD,
FACOG – an integrative medicine doctor who has spent
years treating her patients using a unique blend of
functional and traditional Chinese medicine. This last
flu season killed the most children in five years and
had a second wave hitting us late. Find out why
unnaturally tinkering with our immune systems by
creating a “universal flu shot” would be a grave
mistake. “The flu shot is actually making our immune
systems weaker and more vulnerable for the next flu
season… which is why I build up my patients’ immune
systems from the beginning!” Let your audience ask Dr.
Riobe about all things flu related BEFORE the season
starts… they can prepare now! Dr. Riobe is the author
of “The Tao of Integrative Medicine.” She is a dynamic
progressive integrative medical doctor with over 15
years of experience. Dr. Mylaine Riobe at (772)

8. ==> Why I Forgave a Supervisor Who Tried to Kill Me!
When people go to work the last thing they expect is to
be physically and verbally assaulted by their
department administrator. Particularly over a
correctable mistake, in this case, a statistical error.
But that is what happened to Sharon Bahrych (pronounced
Bear-rich). Working as a physician’s assistant at a
teaching hospital, Sharon acknowledged making a
mathematical mistake on a grant application she had
filed, only to have her colleague Beth become instantly
enraged and scream at her as she was beginning to
asphyxiate her. Perhaps even more remarkable, Sharon
was able to forgive Beth, who never apologized. She was
eventually able to figure out what motivated Beth to go
ballistic. Sharon can talk about what she learned about
forgiveness—a message she believes could help others
who have endured domestic abuse, gang violence,
workplace bullying and workplace violence. Sharon is a
physician’s assistant who trained at Baylor College of
Medicine. She has a master’s in public health from the
University of Texas School of Public Health. She is the
author of “Practical Disciplines of a Christian Life.”

9. ==> Why Sanctuary Cities and States Should Be
Protected
While immigration remains a highly controversial topic,
many experts believe that sanctuary states and cities
serve an important purpose. According to Raleigh
Sadler, a Christian reverend and founder and executive
director of the New York-based non-profit Let My People
Go, these protections can help to decrease epidemic
human trafficking. “One of the first things New York
City Mayor Denis DiBlasio did was to give undocumented
immigrants their own IDs,” he says. “They became a wee
bit less vulnerable. Some people are scared to death to
get an ID because they don’t want to be on a registry.
A lot of immigrants have been conditioned not to trust
anybody. I think this is good.” Raleigh founded this
group in 2013 to combat global human rights injustices.
He can discuss how this epidemic affects society at
every level, and what we can all do to help stem the
tide of oppression. He is the author of the upcoming
book “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking.”

10. ==> In the Age of Selfies, Do People Still Collect
Autographs?
Steve Long, CEO of Phamous Pholks Furniture Art
Pillows, has met Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, Buzz
Aldrin, Brian Wilson, Tony Curtis and other famous
people and has their autographs to prove it—along with
the stories of how he obtained them. For a fun segment,
have Steve discuss why even today, the actual
signatures of famous people still have value. Steve can
share details about some of his rare autographs,
including Charlie Chaplin, John Glenn and Sally Ride,
as well as reveal whose signatures draw the most money
from collectors. He can also talk about why people love
celebrities so much, why they identify with them so
closely and why autograph collecting is far from dead.
His company produces full-size art pillows with
anybody’s image on them. Including celebrities. Reach
him at (520) 358-2871; steve@phamouspholks.com
11. ==> Beer … and Other Surprising Sources of Stress
Do your favorite foods include cheese, beer, and French
fries? Would it surprise you to learn that these foods
might also lead you to experience more stress? It’s
true, says Gillian Padgett, a psychotherapist,
hypnotherapist and stress expert who has studied the
interplay of nutrition and stress for 25 years. Gillian
can share the surprising ways the foods we eat can add
to our stress, put us in a foul mood and even affect us
days after we eat them! In addition to sharing the five
foods that add to our stress, she can also reveal her
list of foods that lend themselves to calmness. She’ll
also explain why you need to pay special attention to
food additives if you are concerned about mitigating
stress. Gillian is the author of “Let Stress Heal Your
Life.” Reach her at (647) 270-7602;

12. ==> This M.D. Can Cure Autism and ADHD in 30 Days
While the majority of medical professionals believe
that there is no cure for autism, Dr. Rajalakshmi
Kandaswamy strongly disagrees. In fact, she has helped
hundreds of children with non-verbal autism and ADHD,
without ever meeting them in person! She accomplishes
this through her unique remote healing method called
Intent Healing™. “I am the only autism expert and
expert in nonverbal autism who is a medical doctor and
a healer who is helping nonverbal autistic children
from all over the world communicate through speech in
10 (or less) remote healing sessions, without meeting
or seeing any of them in person,” she says. With over
25 years of experience in remote healing, she recently
was recognized by Buzzfeed as one of five professionals
in the world to watch out for in the autism arena. She
is the author of the book “How to Heal Autism and ADHD
in 30 Days: The Phenomenally Powerful Breakthrough of
Intent Healing,” and a graduate of India’s premier
medical college C.M.C Vellore. Contact her at

13. ==> Feed These Foods to Your Kids for Higher Grades
If you want your kids to get good grades, pay attention
to what you feed them, says Adita Lang, a parent who
lectures on nutrition at the university level. For
example, she’ll explain why you don’t want your kids to
eat mac ’n’ cheese for lunch but a pancake breakfast is
a great idea as long as it contains the secret
ingredient she’ll reveal. You’ll also learn why black
grapes are better than green grapes and other tips
worth knowing. Adita says, “The average parent does not
know how to feed their children!” She knows parents are
busy and easily tempted to grab convenience foods for
family meals—including kids’ lunches. But, as she’ll
point out, food is fuel and when you feed your school
children the right foods they’ll benefit from better
brain development, focus, clarity and stronger immune
systems; what parent doesn’t want that? During 30 years
in the wellness industry, Adita has worked with
thousands of individuals and been quoted in Fitness and
Shape. Adita is the author of “SuperPowers, A Busy
Woman’s Guide to Health and Happiness.” Reach her at
(305) 794-6505; info@AditaLang.com
14. ==> Explore What’s Wrong with America’s Health
Delivery System
The industry of medicine, including insurance
companies, Big Pharma, and a medical corporate
structure that appears driven more by profits than
patient consideration, represent a significant problem
in our health care delivery. Doctors are growing
frustrated to the point of leaving the profession.
Nurses and ancillary teams are drowning in over-
documentation and have less time for patient care.
Invite Michael J. Young, M.D., to discuss his
experience with the challenges to our health care
delivery system gone awry. A practicing physician for
three decades, and author of The Illness of Medicine,
Dr. Young will offer insights for both patients and
health care professionals. Sample questions: Does
America need a single payer system to fix it’s broken
health care system? Who is most to blame for our
problems? What could Congress enact to fix the system
or is it unfixable? How does our health care compare
with other industrialized countries? Contact William
Dorich at (310) 923-2157; gmbooks@icloud.com
15. ==> Become a Better Leader by Sitting on the Toilet
Comedian and life coach Jen Coken thinks a lot of
business advice is too dry so she’s lightening things
up. The author of “Embrace the Ridiculousness of Life:
A Pocket Guide to Being a Better You” will explain how
listeners can “let go” while they are, actually, ahem,
letting go. She’ll dispense 12 easily digestible
lessons leaders can quickly apply to their lives. In
other words, the type of reading that one might do in
the bathroom while “taking care of business.” As Coken
likes to say, “We all need seven to eight hours of
delicious sleep and a good morning poop to be right for
the day. This 70-page book can be read in one single
flush; it will give you a new ability to manage your
staff, ask for a raise or go to work with a new
attitude.” She’ll discuss setting goals, avoiding burn-
out and how to get out of tough conversations among
other issues. Jen Coken has coached more than 10,000
clients over the past 20 years. Contact her at (303)

16. ==> Interview ‘The Decision Doctor’
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 “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. 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 with your audience and explain how her
six-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 six-step process she created to
help heal herself. Contact Terrie at (503) 707-4750;

17. ==> What Was It Like to Date a Real-Life James
Bond?
John thought he was 007. When Patti Houtz started to
date him, he worked undercover for the DEA in Miami.
Those dates turned into incredible adventures—and
danger soon followed. Patti can talk about her
escapades with John and the unbelievable criminals she
met. Carrying a large 9mm handgun was routine and while
other couples went to the movies, Patti and John were
actually living their own movie, just like in Tom
Cruise’s new flick, “American Made.” The duo got
involved in everything from busting drug dealers to
searching for the Sasquatch. Patti has sensational
stories to share of the time she risked her life for
love; the stories are contained in her new memoir “Solo
by Choice.” Reach Patti at (775) 376-1676;

18. ==> Sept. is National Recovery Month: Does AA Work?
Did you know that 1 out of every 3 people suffer from
addiction? That means we all know someone dealing with
this potentially fatal disease. According to Michael
McGee, MD the key to recovery is to be grateful for the
addiction. “There is something ‘right’ about addiction,
even though it devastates people’s lives.”
Dr. McGee will share how understanding why people want
and need to make themselves feel better – if only for a
short time – is the key to recovery. He can talk about
his unique Touchstone Approach to recovery from
addiction and why it works better than AA for many
people. Dr. Michael McGee trained at Stanford and
Harvard Medical Schools. For over 30 years he has
helped hundreds of patients beat their addictions to go
on and lead joyful, loving, and purpose-filled lives.
He is the author of “The Joy of Recovery: A Guide to
Healing from Addiction.” Contact Dr. McGee at (978)

19. ==> Why Donald’s Trump Third Marriage Will End,
Badly
Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
embarrassing divorces. Pastor and Christian marriage
counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo believes that Trump’s
marriage to Melania is also doomed. ‘Trump’s marriage
is not going to end well; his wife will leave him,”
Rev. George says. “He doesn’t have a concept of
marriage. He doesn’t treat women with respect, and
esteem them for who they are.” Rev. George should know.
He’s been married to his wife, Shirley, for 46 years,
and has counseled more than 500 troubled couples, with
an 85 percent success rate. Rev. George is an ordained
minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. He
received a Master of Ministry in Christian Counseling
degree and a B.A. in theology from Christian Bible
College of Rocky Mount, N.C. He has 34 years of
experience in Christian ministries as a pastor,
Christian counselor and life coach. He is the author of

20. ==> Why Science and Faith Are Not Mutually
Exclusive
While science and religion have long been considered
mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
his good fortune in business and his personal 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 davep434@gmail.com or
