1.==> Great Veterans Day Show – Mighty Oaks Warrior
Program
Chad Robichaux, Force Recon Marine and Pro MMA
Champion, had successes and failures both in
Afghanistan and in the MMA cage, but his biggest fight
was coming home and struggling with PTSD, a near
divorce and almost becoming another veteran suicide
statistic. Invite Robichaux, now the founder/president
of the Mighty Oaks Warrior Programs, to share glimpses
of his life in special operations and professional
fighting and the spiritual battles into which he was
thrust and that nearly took his life. Chad Robichaux’s
book is “An Unfair Advantage.” A certified pastoral
counselor, he’s appeared on national radio and TV and
testified in Veterans’ Court regarding combat trauma
and PTSD. The Mighty Oaks Warrior Program is a
Christian peer-based program for veterans suffering
PTSD. Contact him at @ChadRobo;

2. ==> 5 Places Worth a Veterans Day Visit
Monday is Veterans Day, a day when Americans are
encouraged to reflect on the sacrifices of our troops
and thank those who served. For those who have off from
work and school, the travel experts at the GO Group
recommend some US Military destinations to visit. From
the National Museum of the United States Air Force in
Ohio to The Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii, there
are spots from coast to coast where you can learn
history and see artifacts and hands-on exhibits devoted
to the military. The GO Group, LLC is the nation’s
largest airport transportation provider. Contact Dyana
Flanigan at 312-213-6623; 228426@email4pr.com
3. ==> Adam Schiff is No Friend of Progressives
Stephen Zunes, a professor of politics at the
University of San Francisco, says, “(Adam) Schiff’s
record on foreign policy, civil liberties, human rights
and other key issues has often put him more in line
with Republicans than with liberal Democrats. … It is
ironic, therefore, that Trump and the Republicans are
portraying him as some kind of left-winger.” Zunes was
extensively quoted in the recently published article
“Adam Schiff Is No Friend of Progressives.” The piece
by Norman Soloman of the Institute for Public Accuracy,
notes: “Schiff is tenaciously challenging a despicable
president who should be impeached. At the same time,
while Schiff has emerged as a marquee foe of Trumpism,
we should be aware that he remains deeply enmeshed with
corporatism and militarism.” Contact Stephen Zunes at

4.==> Funny – Behind Bars with Felicity Huffman Podcast
Felicity Huffman has been released from jail just in
time to listen to a new satirical original scripted
comedy podcast series based on her recent experience.
‘14 Days with Felicity’ follows America’s favorite
desperate housewife Felicity Huffman as she serves her
prison sentence for her role in the 2019 college
admissions scandal. Listeners get an earful hearing
about Felicity’s two weeks behind bars via a cell phone
she’s smuggled into prison. Each episode is
approximately 10 minutes long and features actors
playing Huffman’s husband William H. Macy, her
mortified daughters, Sophia and Georgia, and a whole
host of familiar figures ranging from Martha Stewart to
Lindsay Lohan. The podcast was created and written by
the comedy duo Connor Wright and Christina Friel.

5. ==> Holiday Hacks to Reclaim Your Joy
It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and you’re already
stressed out and dreading the thought of the
approaching holidays. When did the season of joy start
feeling like a marathon to be endured? The obligations,
expectations and expense! Invite Joffre McClung to help
your listeners rediscover their holiday happiness by
sharing 5 tips that will help you reclaim your holiday
spirit. She’ll discuss what to do when family
traditions become outdated or burdensome, when it’s not
only ok, but necessary to say no, and why the best gift
you give this season will make YOU feel like a million
bucks and won’t cost you a dime. McClung, a personal
growth expert and author says, “Let go of something–
hosting dinner, opening gifts or eating dinner at a
certain time of day–just because that’s how you’ve
always done it. Let go of what was and do what feels
right for you NOW.” A former media producer and
independent filmmaker, Joffre McClung has appeared on
dozens of radio and TV programs. Her latest book is
“The Heart of the Matter.” Contact Joffre McClung at

6. ==> How to Pick the Perfect Holiday Wine
The holidays are a time of good cheer and celebration,
a time to break bread with family and friends, to toast
the good times of today and those yet to come. But
choosing wine can be intimidating—just ask anyone who
has spent too much time in the local wine shop trying
to decide what to buy to please their guests, or to
impress the folks on their shopping list. Give your
audience their own personal wine guide, and a fun,
informative romp— without the usual snobbery—through
the wonderful world of wine when you invite Jim
Laughren on your show. You’ll learn how to avoid the
most common wine mistakes a host can make, the secret
to choosing a wine gift and where to find wine
bargains. You’ll also learn how to inexpensively add a
touch of elegance to end any holiday meal. Jim Laughren
is a Certified Wine Educator and the author of “50 Ways
to Love Wine More: Adventures in Wine Appreciation.”

7. ==> November 15th is National Philanthropy Day: How
to Give Until it (Doesn’t!) Hurt
Imagine getting cash for that life insurance policy you
or your parents don’t need anymore! Did you know that
70 billion dollars of life insurance policies literally
go to waste annually? Why not turn that waste into a
GIFT? “Most consumers don’t realize the little-known
secret that, if you or your parents qualify, you could
receive up to 50% of your death benefits in CASH by
selling your policy to the highest bidder!” says David
Kottler, the Insurance Doctor (TM.) Most alumni, for
example, would consider donating their policies to
their alma maters as a charitable gift, but
universities and colleges would much rather have the
CASH gift instead. It’s simply a more efficient way to
give to non-profits! David combines his legal and
business experience with a passion for philanthropy.
His book “The Best Kept Money Secret in Your Insurance
Policy” details everything your audience needs to know
about how to get that insurance policy working for
them! Contact David Kottler at (216) 532-1221;
DKottler@rtirguests.com
8. ==> Turning the Charity Model on Its Head
The season of giving is here and while you might want
to donate to charity, something is holding you back.
Maybe you don’t know where your money is really going,
or exactly how it’s going to help those in need. Jon
Kaufman is the creator of H2OpenDoors, a charity that
works in a different way. “It’s time to start using
our charitable gifts in a way that empowers the poorest
among us to profit, which promotes self-reliance and
actually creates a system where the recipients can MAKE
money instead of TAKE money,” says Kaufman. On your
show Kaufman will discuss how he’s disrupting the
charity model and turning the idea of giving on its
head. 100% of contributions to H2OpenDoors are used for
the acquisition, shipment and installation of water-
centric businesses in the poorest regions of the world.
Villages then use revenue from the bottling plants etc.
to fund social services in the community including
college scholarships, nutritional programs,
construction of proper latrines and classroom
expansion. Kaufman is the author of “Long Walk on a Dry
Road, the Education of a Water Warrior.” Contact him at

9. ==> Thanksgiving Isn’t the Only Time to Be Grateful
We’re used to thinking of everything we’re grateful for
at Thanksgiving, but what about the rest of the year?
Is it difficult to feel thankful all year long and can
it really improve your outlook? Invite award-winning
screenwriter, author, TV/film producer, journalist, and
TV host Maryann Ridini Spencer to reveal why gratitude
is important for personal health and wellbeing,
improving your relationships, and how it can help
support and heal you going through life’s tough times
and transitions throughout the year. In her award-
winning novel, Lady in the Window and her soon-to-be-
published novel The Paradise Table, Spencer writes
about overcoming loss and how to find happiness in life
through gratitude, family, friendships, and community.
Her work has appeared on Hallmark Hall of Fame (CBS-
TV), the Hallmark Channel, CNN, USA, SyFy, Showtime,
PBS, and many others. Contact her at (818) 884-0104

Selimi, one of the leading specialists in human
behavior and the psychology of wellbeing, will share 7

11. ==> Beyond Addiction: Other Risks of Opioids
While considerable attention has been focused in recent
years on the risks of addiction due to prescription
opioids, little attention has been paid to other
serious risks of taking opioids. These include risk of
accidental overdose due to polypharmacy or prescription
of high doses, increased risk of developing chronic
pain when used for acute pain, lowered immunity,
traffic fatalities due to opioid use, and increased
risk of falls in the elderly. Another significant risk
is that the underlying cause of the pain may never be
addressed, leading to lifelong chronic pain when
recovery might have been possible. Chronic pain expert
Cindy Perlin can discuss these risks as well as safe,
effective alternative treatments for acute and chronic
pain. Perlin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker,
certified biofeedback practitioner and chronic pain
survivor. She is the author of “The Truth About Chronic
Pain Treatments: The Best and Worst Strategies for
Becoming Pain Free” and the founder of the Alternative
Pain Treatment Directory. She has been a guest on
dozens of radio shows and podcasts. Reach her at
cindyperlin@gmail.com; (518) 439-6431.
12. ==> Psychiatrist Reveals 7 Words to Never Say When
Talking to Yourself
Interview Dr. Donald Pet about how he has helped people
break addictions, transform their lives, and radically
increase their own happiness simply by teaching them
seven “word switches.” For example, instead of telling
yourself, you “should” do something, say that you “can”
do it. Instead of saying that something “made” you
sad, tell yourself that you “allowed” it to discourage
you. Instead of saying you feel a lot of anger, tell
yourself that you feel a lot of “energy” about the
situation. These are just some of the ways Dr. Pet has
helped ordinary people break the grip of the cycle of
common emotions to increase their own levels of
personal joy and fulfillment. Pet is the founder of
lovingmenow.org. His course is completely free and is
designed to have you become a much more loving person.

13. ==> How Animals and Nature Improve Mental &
Physical Health
You should get exercise and eat all the right foods to
try and stay healthy, but Richard Louv says being a
nature lover can dramatically boost your mental and
physical health. Louv, a journalist and co-founder of
the Children & Nature Network, will reveal how dogs can
teach children ethical behavior, how animals in urban
areas are blurring the lines between the domestic and
the wild, and what role the human-animal relationship
plays in our spiritual well-being. He can explore
urgent topics such as biodiversity, inter-species
health, and unprecedented conservation practices –
including the proposal to set aside half of the planet
for nature and wildlife and the assisted migration of
invasive species. Louv’s Children & Nature Network
supports a new nature movement. His latest book is “Our
Wild Calling: How Connecting with Animals Can Transform
our Lives—and Save Theirs.” Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer

14. ==> Beauty Pageants Have Evolved for the Better
Beauty pageants traditionally were all about physical
appearances, and the participants were often portrayed
as vapid Barbie Dolls. But not anymore. “Accomplished
women are expected to be intelligent, skilled, poised
and attractive today which is reflected in media, and
even ‘beauty’ pageants,” says director/filmmaker and
author Kailin Gow. “Being strong is being beautiful.
This is being reflected in the Miss America Pageant’s
elimination of the swimsuit competition, transgender
pageants, the Miss Amazing Pageant for disabled women
and other, non-traditional celebrations of women that
go beyond focusing on mere physical beauty.” Kailin has
written hundreds of Young Adult books. She’s also a
director/filmmaker and the founder of Sparklesoup Inc.
She is also the author of “Raising a Strong Daughter:
What Fathers Should Know.” Contact Kailin at
KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121.
15. ==> Conversation Crisis: How Convenience Has Ruined
Connection (and What to Do about It!)
When’s the last time you had a decent conversation?
Today we find ourselves in an overly connected society
that ironically experiences very little real connection
between individuals. Why? “Much of this can be laid at
the doorstep of technology that reinforces our desire
for convenience (speed and availability) over true
connection – individual to individual – face to face,”
says Ivan Obolensky. Deterioration in the art of
communication can be seen not only across kitchen
tables but also on the national stage. You only have
to look as far as political debates and late-night
pundits to see how far we have fallen. Interview Ivan
to find out how to create meaningful conversations
(start by being curious and interested instead of being
interesting!) and what to avoid at all costs. (Don’t
commit “assumicide!”) Ivan Obolensky is an author and a
true Renaissance man. His novel is “Eye of the Moon.”

16. ==> Animal Communicator Tells All about Your Pet
Wouldn’t it be nice to know what is going through your
pet’s mind? If you had an animal communicator you could
turn to? Well, now you have one in Dawn Crystal. Dawn
has been healing people and animals over the air using
sound for 25 years and has been interviewed on the
radio more than 40 times; she has also been a guest on
major TV shows. Now it’s your turn to interview her and
maybe get some free advice about your own pet. For
instance, Dawn may be able to tell you why your dog is
feeling anxious, why your pet is sick but the
prescribed drugs aren’t working or why your pet just
destroyed your slippers. Contact her at (807) 907-6294;
DCrystal@rtirguests.com
17. ==> Her Dad Was an Undertaker – This is What She
Learned
While growing up in a Midwestern funeral home where her
dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark discovered that we
can speak to the dearly departed. “I can share
fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
dead people, and the messages I received from them,”
she says. “I have a lot to say about death and gifts
people give when they die.” Many people wish they could
communicate with loved ones after they depart this
mortal coil, and she can share with audiences just how
to do that. Margo will reveal her journeys to the other
side, experiences she’s had in dreams and the important
messages she received about life from the deceased. She
is the author of “Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of an
Undertaker’s Daughter,” which has received glowing
reviews from a number of prominent authors and
spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra. Contact
Margo at MLenmark@rtirguests.com; (484) 928-7824.
18. ==> 2020: The Year of World Kindness
Many people are upset and frustrated about the state
the world is in— the “us vs them” mentality that
dominates discourse, the increasing lack of civility,
the expanding toll climate change and pollution are
having on the environment and people’s quality of life.
Lyle Benjamin, founder of the nonprofit organization
Planned Acts of Kindness, has created a series of
innovative programs under the banner “One Planet – One
People” and declared 2020: The Year of World Kindness
with the goal of people around the world doing 1
Billion Planned Acts of Kindness. He’ll discuss
upcoming events including a series of summits around
the world featuring TEDx speakers, panel discussions
and workshops. “We’re all in this together,” Benjamin
says. “And, if we don’t start acting like we are “One
Planet – One People” 10-15 years from now the world
will be tremendously different for billions of people,
and not in a good way.” Contact Benjamin at (212)

19. ==> Revolutionize Your Life in 60 Seconds
Most of us would like to change some of our behavior
patterns and create better outcomes in our personal and
professional lives. The trouble is that thinking about
making a change often feels overwhelming. It’s hard to
know where to start. Expert problem-solver, executive
and personal development coach Peggy Caruso says the
key is to take small steps when you don’t know where to
begin. Caruso will share strategies that can help you
begin making positive changes in every area of your
life from relationships and parenting to health,
personal development and even dealing with elderly
loved ones. “Take the First Shot: Strategies to Fire
You Up and Change Your Life,” is the fourth book in
Caruso’s Revolutionize series. Contact her at (814)

20. ==> The One Trait that Leads to Unimaginable
Success
So you think you have to be brilliant, gifted and in
the right place at the right time in order to be wildly
successful in life? Kim Chestney says, “Not so!” She
says virtually everyone has the ability to attain goals
beyond their wildest imaginings thanks to the one
innate trait that all humans possess: Intuition!
“Intuition is the most important, yet least understood
faculty of human consciousness. Getting your ego out of
the way and developing your inner voice is a great
bull***t detector. It can also facilitate well-being
and growth in all aspects of your life.” Kim 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 up and running. Contact Kim at
