20. 10 Amazing Things to Know about Meditation
1. ==> ISIS Revenge Attacks Are Likely
The killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi is a big win for America and humanity, but Tom
Rogan of the Washington Examiner warns ISIS will remain
a potent threat and seek short-term revenge. “Even as
ISIS’ new leader — who may have to fight colleagues to
attain his dominion — struggles to assume authority as
Baghdadi’s replacement, the group’s operations officers
will seek short-term retribution,” writes Rogan. “This
threat, both directed and inspired in nature, should
not be discounted as idle.” He adds, “A revenge attack
may not follow. But western security services will
operate intense shift schedules for the next two
weeks.” Tom Rogan writes foreign policy focused
commentary for the Washington Examiner. He’s written
for the National Review, The Telegraph, and The
Guardian and regularly appears on Fox and other media
outlets. Contact him at TRogan@WashingtonExaminer.com;

2. ==> The Problem with ‘Sexy Mr. Rogers’ Costume
Have you seen the ‘Sexy Mr. Rogers’ Halloween costume
that swaps his trademark red sweater and khakis for a
plunging v-neckline, exposed midriff, and booty shorts?
Stuart Charmé says, “It amazes me time and again that,
despite this post-#MeToo moment, when gender equality
is increasingly championed, Halloween remains a holiday
when commercial costume makers emphasize traditional
gender roles for children and the sexualization of
women.” Charme says Halloween is a much different
experience for girls than for boys. “Boys’ costumes
offer extensive choices and possibilities for instant
muscles and superhuman powers. Not so much for girls.
Their limited options usually include extra ruffles and
ribbons for younger children, and tighter-fitting,
revealing, and sexualized costumes for older ones,”
says Charme. “If we want girls to grow up feeling
empowered by a sense of their own independence and
agency, rather than being channeled into preordained
gender roles that accentuate the importance of female
beauty and sexual appeal, we should pay attention to
the messages these costumes express.” Stuart Charmé is
a professor of religion and director of the graduate
program in liberal studies at Rutgers University-
Camden. Contact him at (856) 225-6237

3. ==> Halloween Can Be Scary Dangerous
Kids love Halloween: Trick-or-treating, classroom
parties and trips to a neighborhood haunted house. But
the holiday can be dangerous, especially after dark.
From costume safety to trick-or-treating rules, remind
your listeners how to make this a fun, safe holiday
when you invite an expert from the National Safety
Council on your show. You’ll also hear Halloween
driving tips, including keeping inexperienced drivers
off the road during peak trick-or-treating hours. The
National Safety Council has a broadcast studio at its
headquarters, with both HD and SD capabilities. The NSC
is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to
eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes and
communities, and on the road. Contact them at (630)
775-2307; media@nsc.org
4.==> It’s Also a Nightmare for Pets
As children get ready for the hustle and bustle of
trick or treating, we need to remember our furry
friends. Halloween can be a frighteningly dangerous
time for pets! Intuitive expert and animal communicator
Nora Truscello taps into animal energies and shows us
how to make Halloween all treats without the tricks for
our four legged friends. Invite Nora to share her
insights in what your furriest friends want and don’t
want on this spookiest of seasons. A spiritual
navigator for more than 30 years, Nora Truscello is an
author and speaker on a wide range of spiritual topics.

5. ==> Simple Ways to Cut Halloween Sugar
More people are starting to look for alternatives to
traditional Halloween candy, especially those who are
more aware of ingredients and concerned about what
children eat. To make it easier to “scare up” a list of
treats kids will adore, Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C.,
IFMCP, a doctor of chiropractic and certified
functional medicine practitioner with the Institute of
Functional Medicine, has nine fresh ideas to share. For
example, she’ll tell you why maple-syrup candies are a
healthful alternative as are Mini Cocoa Camino dark
chocolates. Dr. Beauchamp will also explore affordable
non-candy gifts most kids will enjoy. She 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!”

6. ==> Today is 7th Anniversary of Hurricane Sandy
One of the worst storms in recent memory, Hurricane
Sandy made landfall on Oct. 29, causing loss of power
to two million households, the destruction of more than
350,000 homes, the death of 37 people and $30 billion
in economic losses in New Jersey alone. Seven years
have passed but for many, the storm’s losses remain
raw. Melissa Lanza lost her home in Staten Island
during the storm but can talk about how she ultimately
emerged from the shock of Sandy’s devastation and from
having her faith tested as well as how we can all come
back from our own adverse events or Hurricane Sandys.
Melissa is a Nationally Board Certified Family Nurse
Practitioner with a family medical practice in Staten
Island. She is the author of “Experience God’s
Presence.” Contact her at (718) 980-6103;

7. ==> How the War on Drugs Created a War on Us
While the War on Drugs may have sounded like a good
idea at one time, the consequences have been
catastrophic. One in three adults in the US now have a
criminal record, primarily for drug possession. Parents
grieve the loss of their children from overdose and
mass incarceration. And patients with severe illness or
chronic pain are denied access to proven pain
medications. Lawyer and expert on drug policy and
criminal justice reform Colleen Cowles can discuss the
myths about addiction that have fueled the overdose
epidemic as well as ways to transform the punitive war
on drugs into compassionate and effective policy.
Colleen Cowles, J.D., is the author of “War on Us: How
the War on Drugs and Myths about Addiction Have Created
a War on All of Us.” She is a speaker and frequent
radio and TV guest expert on topics related to criminal
justice reform, drug policy, and substance abuse.

8. ==> Where Does Your Beef Come From?
Consumers are paying attention to their food and its
origins. If you want to know where that mango came
from, all you have to do is to look at the label. But
when it comes to beef, it’s much harder to tell, says
Mike Galloway, who runs a cattle ranch in Western
Wyoming. The former broadcaster says it’s time to
restore labeling laws that were watered down in 2015,
making it easier for foreign beef exporters to pass
their beef off as ‘made in the U.S.A.’ Galloway says,
“There is a place for imported beef in the U.S.,
import-export and trade is important to our economy.
All I ask is that we stop misleading the American
people, that we stop blaming American cattle producers
for environmental disasters when foreign lobbyists and
their policies are causing countries to destroy the
rain forest to supply us with what they call ‘USA
Produced Beef.’” Mike Galloway and his wife, Erin, are
ranchers in Northeast Wyoming. They are also creators
of the largest YouTube and social media brand in
Wyoming, Our Wyoming Life, in which they chronicle the
hardships of managing a ranch and a massive change in
their life. Mike is a former DJ whose syndicated radio
show was broadcast on more than 200 radio stations
nationwide. Contact Mike Galloway at (307) 399-1620;

9. ==> American Eyewitness: Life in Afghanistan During
Soviet Occupation
For most Americans, Afghanistan is a mysterious country
that surfaces in the news as the U.S. military talks
about removing its troops or the Trump administration
negotiates with the Taliban. Bring Cat Parenti on your
show to discuss her experiences in the country, where
she lived on and off for 20-years. Parenti survived the
political twists and turns of Afghan history from King
Zahir Shah through the rise of the Taliban and started
a successful business selling antique clothing and
jewelry to U.S. museums and museum shops. She’ll
discuss what it was like to be a woman traveling alone
through the war-torn country, the rise of resistance
fighters after the Soviet invasion—including female
fighters—and her work in the resistance movement, and
how the Taliban came to power. Cat Parenti has shared
her first-hand knowledge of Afghanistan in numerous
media interviews, in presentations on Afghanistan at
the U.N., and in several books including “Afghanistan:
A Memoir from Brooklyn to Kabul.” Contact Cat Parenti
at (520) 508-0211; cat.parenti@gmail.com
10. ==> A Solution to Football’s Concussion Problem?
NFL, college and high school football are under attack.
All because of the high risk of concussions and the
resulting health consequences. But what if there was a
way to make concussions a thing of the past? Or at
least a way to diagnose and treat traumatic brain
injuries (TBI’s) more easily and quickly? Interview
Paul Wand, MD, PA, to hear about the “Wand Protocol”
that could do all that and more. He, along with other
private practitioners, have created ways to diagnosis
and treat concussions which if put into place could
save the NFL, as well as other sports where concussions
happen on a regular basis. Dr. Paul Wand has been a
medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the field
of Neurology and is the author of “The Concussion Cure:
3 Proven Methods to Heal Your Brain.” Contact him at
(954) 743-5380; PWand@rtirguests.com
11. ==> Revolutionary Way to Reverse Memory Loss
If you’re worried your short-term memory loss—those
moments when you just can’t remember a word, a name or
where you parked the car—are just the start of a
downhill slide, you’ll want to hear some encouraging
news from Julie Renee Doering. The brain rejuvenation
expert says memory loss can easily be reversed, even in
early stage dementia. She’ll discuss a ground-breaking
approach to cell regrowth and share the remarkable
results of a recent brain study that show the quantum
energy approach can dramatically improve not only
memory, but also mental outlook and sleep. It also
shows promise in reducing headaches and helping people
with speech difficulties. The brain rejuvenation work
Julie Renee is doing is just the tip of the iceberg in
her revolutionary Quantum Activation Academy. Doering,
who will soon be seen regularly on the long-running PBS
series Creative Living, embarked on her search for
answers after suffering several brain injuries, major
accidents and chronic illnesses in her earlier life.
The author of 12 books including “The Divine Human
Blueprint,” she currently offers more than 150
trainings and 180 transformative meditations. Contact
her at (415) 385 6394; in8@JulieRenee.com
12. ==> Why Your Kids Bad Behavior is Caused by Your
Anxiety
Your kids are acting like feral cats. They won’t
listen. They fight and raise your blood pressure. It’s
not their fault. It’s your body’s chemical reaction to
stress that is adding to their bad behavior, and it’s
also why you may be experiencing real pain. Noted spine
surgeon Dr. David Hanscom will explain the connection
between anxiety and surges of body chemicals, and
reveal how you can train your body to control these
surges– even when the stress comes from your kids.
Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s
Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will share research-based
evidence and information about the direct connection
between stress, the body’s chemistry and physical pain.
He’ll also discuss how Western medicine’s answer to
stress has led to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and
just plain bad-doctoring for adults and kids alike. An
in-demand speaker and talk-show guest, including The
Dr. Oz Show and Fox News, Hanscom will change the way
you react to stressful situations – getting your
audience back on track to really enjoy parenting.

13. ==> Protect Kids from EMF
Electromagnetic radiation from cellphone towers,
cellphones, and other electronic appliances is
everywhere. Although there have been more than 10,000
global scientific studies done on the health impacts of
EMFs, most of us remain blissfully unaware of the
dangers. So what do parents need to do to protect their
children? For the answer, interview Beverly Jensen,
Ph.D. Dr. Jensen will discuss actions to take to reduce
electromagnetic radiation in your home to protect
yourself and your children and discuss whether that
cellphone tower near your house should concern you. She
can offer your listeners a link to her free eBook,
“Protecting Our Children from EMR.” Dr. Jensen is a
life-long practitioner of the natural healing arts and
author of the forthcoming book “21st Century Wellness
Rx: Health Hacks to Prevent & Cure Chronic Disease.”

14. ==> How to Parent without Punishment
Parenting is one of the most important jobs anyone will
ever have. But is it possible to raise a child to be a
productive, independent adult without ever having to
spank or take away that child’s privileges? Absolutely,
says media veteran and child-rearing expert Emily
Slingluff, who wrote the book on the topic, “Parenting
without Punishment.” Emily will explain why there is
never a reason to punish children. Good parent-child
communication works so much better. Moreover, punishing
children teaches them mean and uncomfortable behavior.
It is even possible that it will lead to insecurity,
confusion, depression, and unhappiness with life. She
studied psychology and has a degree in government and
economics from Sweet Briar College and was an assistant
editor at The Virginia-Pilot. Contact her at (757)

15. ==> When You Want to Downsize but Your Spouse
Doesn’t
Many times husbands and wives can’t agree on whether to
sell the family home for something smaller—an
apartment, condo, or cottage perhaps, in the city, near
grandchildren or somewhere else. But Rita Wilkins says
couples can usually have it all. “All they have to do
is figure out what having it all means to them and what
compromises they are willing to make.” The Downsizing
Designer, Rita will explain how to come up with a firm
idea of what your downsizing vision is (a two-bedroom
apartment, a condo, a townhome) and suggest ways to dip
your toe in the water before downsizing. She’ll also
share stories from her clients and her own downsizing
journey in which she gave away 95% of her belongings
and moved from a 5,000 square foot space to an 867
square-foot apartment. Rita Wilkins has been featured
on WHYY, Sirius-XM and in USA Today, Delaware Today,
Mainline Today and more. For over 35 years, she has
designed interiors throughout the country including
corporate penthouses and C-suites, Supreme Court
Justice Chambers and thousands of residential
interiors. “Downsize Your Life: Upgrade Your Lifestyle”
is her first book. Contact her at (302) 354-0972;

16. ==> What Most Real Estate Investors Get Wrong
A lot of people who go into the complex world of real
estate investing are convinced that they can get the
most bang for their buck by buying, renovating and then
selling properties, a process known as flipping. But
long-time real estate and property renovation expert
Dan Lieberman claims that this is not a recipe for
success. “You take on a lot of risk if housing prices
go down,” he says. “That’s why it’s a good idea to get
into the rental market. With rentals, you have ongoing
income, even in a bad real estate market.” Dan has many
years of experience successfully developing rental
properties. He can share the secrets to developing
rental properties, getting the best rent and attracting
the nicest tenants so that you have a great source of
ongoing income. Dan Lieberman is the author of “The
Effective Landlord: How Owners and Property Managers
Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise Rents, and Boost
Their Bottom Line in Any Market.” Contact him at
DLieberman@rtirguests.com; (510) 570-1368.
17. ==> The ‘Decision Dr.’ Takes the Agony out of
Indecision
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. As a
systems analyst, Terrie Novak is an expert at decision-
making… or “choice-making” as she likes to call it.
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. Now she can help
you and your audience do the same! Terrie Novak works
in software engineering as a systems analyst. Her
unique framework for “choice-making” is a three-step
process anyone can use and can be applied to decisions
of any kind. Terrie Novak’s new book is “Decision
Doctor: How to Overcome the Agony of Indecision.”

18. ==> The Forgotten Lives of the Abortion Debate
As the U.S. has become bitterly divided by the current
changes to abortion laws, best-selling author Jane
Jenkins Herlong points out that one faction of society
is being completely over-looked: elderly people. “When
it comes to sanctity of life, we really need to focus
on the elderly,” she says. “The extreme abortion laws
from New York to Alabama are vastly different. This
also affects the elderly, who are not part of the
current discussion.” Jane can discuss what she learned
from caring for her own elderly mom, and why we need to
take greater measures to protect the elderly to ensure
that they live the remainder of their lives in safety,
comfort and dignity. She is a former Miss America
contestant and 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.
19. ==> Does Your Name Determine Your Success in Life?
“What’s in a name?” According to Name Colorology expert
B. P. Greycastle, your name can make or break you in
life. In his book “Your Name and Colors: Key to Your
Beauty, Career, Personality, Romance and Success,” he
reveals how your color-coded name determines 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 can
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. Contact B.P. at
