1. ==> Interview Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich
Longtime politician Dennis Kucinich was just 31 years old and the nation’s youngest big-city mayor when he faced a tumultuous battle over Cleveland’s publicly owned electric system back in the late 1970s. Invite him on your show and hear his fully documented account of the battle against a shadow city government which engaged in corporate espionage, sabotage, price-fixing, cut-throat competition, anti-trust activities, organized crime, and wholesale fraud. Dennis will discuss why utility bills and taxes are so high and who is really making the decisions effecting your listeners’ social and economic life. He’ll also share the road map he follows that shows how a principled approach to everyday life can empower each of us to find the courage to do the right thing. Dennis Kucinich’s new book is “The Division of Light and Power.” Kucinich served as Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio from 1977-1979, in the Ohio State Senate from 1995–1997 and 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1997-2013.

2. ==> Israeli Red Cross on Conflict
Bombings continue in Israel and Gaza as the most serious conflict in years enters a second week and international calls for a ceasefire mount. Magen David Adom, Israel’s national Red Cross society, provides emergency medical care and ambulance services for victims of terror, natural disasters, automobile accidents, and other emergencies in Israel. MDA is funded by private donations—a majority of which originate in the United States. MDA emergency response officials are available for interviews on the current situation in Israel.

4. ==> Interview Star of Netflix’s ‘Selena: The Series’
As seen on Access Hollywood, Harper’s Bazaar, E!, and Oprah, musical prodigy and young Hollywood’s newest up-and-coming actress Madison Taylor Baez has drawn attention for her breakout performance as young Selena in Netflix’s original “Selena: The Series.” The coming-of-age story follows the late Tejano singer, Selena Quintanilla’s journey to stardom.

5.==> What if U.S. Doesn’t Reach Herd Immunity?
When COVID-19 first began spreading, public health and medical experts began talking about the need for the U.S. to reach herd immunity to stop the virus from spreading. Experts estimate between 60 and 90 percent of the population would need to be vaccinated for that to happen. Currently, just 35 per cent of the U.S. has been fully vaccinated, and yet the CDC says fully vaccinated people can lose their masks in most indoor and outdoor settings. An important question now arises: What happens if we don’t reach herd immunity? Invite pharmaceutical technologies expert Dean Fanelli to explain what herd immunity is, why so many people are ‘vaccine hesitant’ and what the future will look like if the U.S. never reaches herd immunity. Dean Fanelli, Ph.D., is a partner in the intellectual property department of Seyfarth Shaw LLP’s Washington D.C. office. His focus is on pharmaceutical- and chemical-related technologies.

6. ==> Relationship RX: Post-Pandemic Bedroom Boost
With so many people working from home and social distancing this past year, couples spent a lot of time alone together, for better or for worse.

A licensed marriage and family therapist and board-certified sex therapist for more than 30 years, she’ll share creative date ideas, advice on introducing new activities to a reluctant partner, and how to use sensual touch to relieve stress.

7. ==> Brace for an Early and Bad Wildfire Season
Get your air filter ready — the wildfire season is starting early this year. Just as the freshly vaccinated start to resume barbecues and vacation travel, wildfires are likely to force residents of Western states back inside. Seventy-six percent of the Western U.S. is in a drought and experts say that likely means another bad wildfire season. Time to interview James Moseley, CEO of Sun FireDefense. His California-based company defends life and property from wildfire every year. Ask him: What keeps many wildfires burning with such intensity? What role does climate change play? What can people do to protect themselves and bounce back? How can we save firefighters’ lives? What do you expect for this year’s wildfire season? Contact James Moseley at (818) 486-4662; jmoseley@rtirguests.com
8. ==> Got Unfinished Home Projects?
We all spent a lot of time in our homes last year and many people started projects that had long been put on hold. Unfortunately, a lot of those projects remain unfinished. “While the fabulous remodeling shows on TV transform a space from disaster to dream in under 30 minutes, in reality, there is much to consider when attempting this feat in your own home,” says Dawn Mahan, founder of PMOtraining.com, which teaches people the fundamentals of successful project management — whether that’s at the office or around the house. “People just want to jump in and get started, and then wonder why they find themselves at The Home Depot 47 times.” From major remodeling to redecorating and even landscaping, Dawn can share ways to prioritize, plan and get your project back on track and finally finished! She says using project management tools at home just makes sense. “That way, you can get what you want, when you want it, for a cost you are comfortable paying, all while keeping your blood pressure in check.” Dawn is a dynamic international speaker, a PMI-certified leader with extensive global experience, and the sole inventor of ProjectFlo.
