1. ==> Let’s Talk about Trump’s Tax Troubles
Donald Trump’s tax returns will soon be in the hands of prosecutors in the Southern District of New York and you can bet we’ll have questions about them. Criminal defense attorney Alaleh Kamran can discuss the possible indictments that may come down and what crimes Trump could be charged with like money laundering, bank fraud and corporate fraud. Kamran is great on-air; knowledgeable about national and international white-collar crime; articulate and savvy. Practicing in both state and federal courts around the country, she also defends police officers who have been criminally charged. She has spoken both nationally and internationally on various topics related to the elections and constitutional law issues, has been quoted in major publications and frequently appears as a broadcast legal analyst.

2. ==> The Difference Between Racial Equality and Equity
Equity. Equality. What’s the difference? By definition, equality treats everyone the same regardless of need, while equity achieves fairness by treating people differently dependent on need. That might sound like the opposite of equality, but is it? Invite Darrell “Coach D” Andrews to discuss racial equity. He says history shows that those who embrace it lead with the heart, even though their heads might be telling them something else. “Diversity programs have been around for decades, yet we find ourselves in the same boat. We believe the reason why is you can’t train a person to see race relations from another perspective (head.) You must utilize conversations, think-tanks, analysis and most importantly, communicate with the person in a way that does not make them feel like a racist (heart) to accomplish this,” says Andrews. “Many people simply lack knowledge as to their method of communications and its effect on black and brown people.” Coach D is a motivational speaker and the author of “Equity Is Not A Head Issue; It Is A Heart Issue.” Contact him at (302) 559-4092; 291659@email4pr.com
3. ==> Perseverance: NASA Expert on Mars Mission
Perseverance, NASA’s most sophisticated rover to date recently landed on the surface of Mars and has begun sending back images. Invite space expert Rod Pyle to discuss the mission, NASA’s first to search for signs of ancient life on Mars. Perseverance will also study Mars’ climate and geology and collect samples that will eventually be returned to Earth by the 2030s. Rod Pyle worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Johnson Space Center and has produced numerous documentaries for the History Channel and Discovery Communications. A media veteran, he appears regularly on radio and TV and is the author of more than a dozen books including “Destination Mars” and “First on the Moon: The Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Experience.” Contact him at (626) 399-4440; rodpyle@yahoo.com; Skype: rodpyle106
4.==> What’s Your Environmental Handprint?
You care about the environment — the world you live in, and the world you are going to leave behind for future generations. Perhaps you already avoid wasting energy and buying more things than you need — reducing your ecological footprint. Yet energy conservation expert Jon Biemer says you can do more to help heal our planet by looking at your ecological handprint. “Footprints are good for quantifying cost and carbon. Looking at our handprints is better for quantifying changes in the system. Footprints encourage us to consume less. Handprints encourage us to be proactive, even entrepreneurial.” He’ll explain how you can make a difference with the choices you make about the clothing you buy, the investments you make, and even the food you choose to eat. Trained as a mechanical engineer, Biemer has more than 40 years of experience creating sustainability. Over the years, he and his wife have planted food forests, eco-remodeled their home, and lived without a power clothes dryer, refrigerator and car. His new book is “Our Environmental Handprints: Recover the Land, Reverse Global Warming, Reclaim the Future.” Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer at (703) 991-8328; jboyer@rtirguests.com
5. ==> Got Wanderlust? Prepare for Post-Pandemic Travel
You may not be able to travel right now but the pandemic won’t last forever. When we do start moving about the world freely again, you’ll want to make the most of it, right? Travel and culture journalist Judith Fein can explain a different way of traveling and how it will make your future trips better than ever. She says, “Following advice from Trip Advisor and guidebooks and relying on 10-Best lists is old-school! If you make a checklist of sites and reserve all the recommended hotels and restaurants, you’ll just return with the same photos and experiences as everyone else!” Judith will explain how listeners can develop a new traveler mindset and share ways to get started right away. You’ll also hear ways the pandemic has changed how we’ll travel in the future and how to nurture your wanderlust while stuck at home. Judith Fein is an author and TEDx speaker with extensive media experience. Contact her at (505) 982-9248; judie@GlobalAdventure.us
6. ==> Is California a Petri Dish for America’s Future?
Whatever happened to the Golden State? Why are Californians fleeing by the millions? Is our nation, including your state, following in California’s footsteps? Interview California-based author, columnist and speaker Rick Elkin who explores these topics in his new book, “The Illusion of Knowledge: Why So Many Educated Americans Embrace Marxism.” He’ll explain how several generations of well-meaning but gaslighted Californians have turned the nation’s largest state into a Venezuelan-style disaster zone. And why so many successful, well-educated and seemingly patriotic leaders in major institutions of academia, entertainment, social media and communications endorse Marxist social theories. Contact Rick Elkin at (760) 877-1262; RElkin@rtirguests.com
7. ==> Is the Concept of Race Racist?
Is it possible to talk about racism without being racist? Without causing other people pain? Should the “what are you” question even be on the census form? Can we build enough trust to talk about race without judgment? Just as he does with his new YouTube series, “Difficult Questions with Glen Dunzweiler,” Glen will engage your audience in a thoughtful discussion on the controversial and often divisive topic of racism. Ask him: As a white person, why do you identify with Black people? What are four possible ways to cope with racism? Glen Dunzweiler is an independent filmmaker, a former college professor, and author of two books including “A Degree In Homelessness? Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.” Contact Glen at (702) 703-2219; GDunzweiler@rtirguests.com
8. ==> One and Done: Can One Weekend Save You Years of Therapy?
Many people spend years, if not decades in talk therapy for problems like anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. But too much talking can be counterproductive, says Canadian psychotherapist Robert Grigore, who points out that he is now helping top creative professionals eliminate their worst issues in as little as a single weekend! Grigore’s passion for saving clients from needless struggle has resulted in him being dubbed “The Celebrity Saviour” by several sources, including a two-time Emmy Award-winning TV producer. Robert Grigore has been featured across TV, radio, podcasts, and magazines, including CTV, Global News BC1, Sirius XM, “Wake Up With Patti Katter” (on Amazon FireTV and ROKU), Yahoo Finance, Disrupt Magazine, and others.

9. ==> Millions Unknowingly Suffer from this Silent Killer
Did you know that more than 30 million adults have diabetes and more than 7 million don’t even know they have it? Or that one in four adults has prediabetes? It’s also true that people with diabetes are more likely to suffer more seriously if they contract COVID-19. No one can afford to be diabetes illiterate today. That is why you’ll want to interview Nadia Al-Samarrie, a leading patient advocate in the diabetes community who knows this topic inside and out. She’ll answer such questions as: what are some of the biggest myths about diabetes? How did being born into a family with type-2 diabetes and being married to a type-1 diabetic affect her life?

10. ==> Telemedicine Is Here to Stay: How to Use it Best
Telemedicine had already been around before COVID-19, but it took off by necessity once the pandemic shut down medical offices along with everything else. And while it’s not always the best way to treat health issues, telemedicine is a safe option that will likely remain popular even after the COVID crisis. Invite Anne McAwley-LeDuc to discuss ways to make the most of and prepare for virtual appointments. From managing your time on the call to sharing information about your medical history, you’ll learn how to take more control of your health care to make sure you and your loved ones get proper treatment and stay safe. Anne is a retired registered nurse (RN) and nurse practitioner (APRN) board-certified in adult medicine, with 43 years of varied experience in the medical field.

12. ==> Celebrate Our ‘Soul Bonds’ with Our Pets!
There is no doubt that we love our furry four-legged friends! Many, like Jean Alfani, even feel a special soul connection to their pets. Jean knew when her eyes locked with those of a smooshy-faced little dog who sat inside a kennel at the Humane Society, that it was love at first sight. Invite her on your show to discuss how the pandemic has affected our relationship with our pets, whether we can actually know what our pets are thinking, and how pets brighten our lives even after they are gone. While writing about her precious pug Zuggy for her children’s books years after his death, she says she realized how much of our human legacy is lost within a single generation. Inspired, she created “Blessed to be Me” and “Blessed to be Your Dog,” to serve as guides for others to capture and celebrate the stories of their lives with and without pets. Jean Alfieri is an author, speaker, and rescue dog advocate. Contact her at (602) 397-1344; ZuggythePug@gmail.com
