=======================================
1. ==> The Founding Fathers and Fetuses
As the courts take on new challenges to abortion
rights, Marshall Sahlins claims the United States
Constitution clearly indicates that human life begins
at birth, not at conception. He says the presumption
that a fetus is a human person is unconstitutional. “In
all known human societies, one’s identity as a person
is established by membership in the society, which
necessarily depends on the observable circumstances of
birth rather than the occult moment of conception. At
birth one is attributed the parentage, name, local
affiliations, kinship relations, citizenship, and other
social specifications that define a human existence.
All this, moreover, is publicly certified by rituals,
such as christening, that typically confer legitimacy
on the newborn by society, as backed by divinity. One
is a person by culture, not by nature.” Invite him to
discuss what he calls “obvious signs” that the Framers
did not suppose that an embryo was already a person.
Marshall Sahlins is the Charles F. Grey Distinguished
Service Professor emeritus of anthropology at the
University of Chicago. Contact him at (773) 702-7703

2. ==> The Abortion/Death Penalty Hypocrisy
Jay Parini says if it’s time to tighten the ban on
abortions, it’s also time to get rid of capital
punishment once and for all. “It’s a genuine
abomination that flies in the face of human dignity. Is
it not deeply ironic that the seven states that have
passed tighter abortion laws are also actively open to
killing live human beings by lethal injection or
electrocution?” He adds, “There is, needless to say, a
complex debate about when life actually begins. And
there is much to say for the quality of life after
birth — and our society’s willingness to ensure it to
all as a matter of policy — as being just as important
as the ticking heartbeat. The death penalty is another
matter. It’s not up for debate, in my view, and those
who do not see the connection between preserving the
lives of fetuses and preserving the lives of adults
should take a clear-eyed look at their consciences. We
don’t get to kill people. Period. It’s barbarous,
inhumane, cruel, and — thank goodness — rare in most
civilized countries.” Parini is a writer and academic
who teaches at Middlebury College. He just recorded
“Jesus, Paul and the Early Christians” and published
“The Damascus Road: A Novel of Saint Paul.” Contact him
at parini@middlebury.edu
3. ==> WHO: Video Game Addiction is a Real Disorder
Think your kid is addicted to video games? There could
be something to it. The World Health Organization has
just made video game addiction an official mental
health disorder. Bring clinical forensic psychologist
Dr. John Huber on your show and ask him: Do you think a
person who plays a lot of video games has a “disease”?
If the US embraces The World Health Organization’s
decision on video games does that mean drugs will be
able to be prescribed in attempt to treat or cure the
disease? Can video games also have a positive impact on
a person’s mental health? Dr. John Huber is the
chairman for Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit
mental health organization. He’s appeared on hundreds
of radio shows and dozens of national television
programs. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103;
(919) 377-1200.
4. ==> What Dad Really Needs: A Little Self-Love
Mention the concept of self-love and guys will snicker,
their juvenile sense of humor trying to deflect their
discomfort at the idea that loving yourself is in any
way masculine. “Most men have been raised to push their
emotions down and those who are sensitive are told to
‘man up’ and ‘grow a pair.’ It’s not surprising men
don’t embrace the idea of self-love,” says personal
growth expert and author Joffre McClung. “Women are
much more open to the concept, but men may actually
need it more.” McClung will share 5 easy things dads
can do to start or deepen their personal growth
journey, which she says everyone in the family should
support. “From opening up to their emotions to
separating their worth from their jobs, when men love
and support themselves they have more empathy and
compassion, which ripples outward into society.” Joffre
McClung has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs
including CBS TV-Austin TX, Hay House Radio and The Joe
Franklin Show. A former media producer, independent
filmmaker, and author, Joffre’s latest book is “The
Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at (917) 994-0225
(TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com
5. ==> Father’s Day: Could You Forgive Your Abusive
Dad?
If your dad belittled or hit you could you forgive him?
Should you? For many people, this is not an academic
question. It isn’t for Dr. Jeanne Sanner, whose father
often hit her with a strap and verbally abused her. But
as a grownup, she is at peace with her father and
herself. Invite her on air to explain why people like
her father approach life with fear and how knowing that
changed her perception of him and led her to stop
condemning him. For others in your audience who are
having forgiveness issues, Jeanne can share a simple
formula she created that has already helped hundreds of
people change their beliefs to lead happier lives. She
is the author of “Finding Unconditional Love a Little
Peace at a Time.” Jeanne has a doctorate in spiritual
studies, a master’s in education and a bachelor’s in
psychology. Reach her at (949) 284-7788;

6. ==> The Untapped $3.5 Trillion Multicultural
Consumer Market
Multicultural customers are the fastest growing segment
of the U.S. population. So why do many U.S.
corporations continue to either ignore, misread, fumble
or just give lip service in their attempts to get this
important demographic representing 38 percent of the
country and $3.5 trillion in buying power — one quarter
of the country’s buying power — to purchase their
products? Invite Terry Soto to explain why current
methods for targeting multicultural markets aren’t
working and what needs to be done instead. Soto was
born in Ecuador and raised in Los Angeles and has been
one of the country’s most foremost experts on growth
strategy and business development for more than three
decades. She’s been featured in Forbes, MarketWatch,
the Huffington Post and American Banker and is the
author of “The $3.5 Trillion Advantage: A Marketer’s
Guide to Revenue Growth in Today’s America” and
“Marketing to Hispanics: A Strategic Approach to
Assessing and Planning Your Initiative.” Contact her at
(818) 842-9688; terry@terrysoto.com
7. ==> The Real Victims of the College Cheating Scandal
The recent college admissions scandal has focused on
rich parents who cheated in order to get their kids
into top universities. Jane Jenkins Herlong claims that
they didn’t do their kids any favors. “Apparently, the
new norm is being dishonest in order to help your child
to succeed,” she says. “Unfortunately, this may lead to
failure since disappointments teach us skills to become
successful.” Despite growing up dirt poor on a farm in
the South, a learning disability and scoring low on her
SATs, Jane persisted and earned a college degree and
became a success in life. She is the 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.
8. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All
Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, his bandmate brothers, and cousin
Mike Love. But for the first time, Brian’s former
bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin tells his
riveting behind-the-scenes story. Rocky is a former NFL
player who was college roommate and best friend of Stan
Love, a former LA Laker and brother of Mike Love. In
the mid-1970s, they were enlisted as life savers for
Brian, who was on a death spiral. After years of
silence, Rocky authored the book The Beach Boys Endless
Wave: Inside America’s Band, with co-author Ron Hamady,
a veteran of the music and film industries. “Rocky went
where no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a
monumental time for the band. There have been plenty of
Beach Boys books; but, no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact Mike Vezo at mvezo@rtirguests.com;

9. ==> The Secret to Decoding Your Dreams
From terrifying nightmares to ridiculous romps with
crazy characters and bizarre locations, your nightly
adventures aren’t random at all. They reveal a lot
about what’s going on in your life, but deciphering
them can be confusing, to say the least. Dream analyst
Layne Dalfen says your dreams are actually
conversations you have with yourself about specific
current issues in your life. She says, “The solution
you’re looking for about what (or who) in your life is
bugging you this week will appear in your unconscious
mind before it gets to your conscious. Dream analysis
gives you the power to decide how you want to respond
to people and situations in your life.” Dalfen will
teach listeners a step-by-step method to decode those
dreams and use the knowledge to help make decisions and
deal with difficult situations. Layne Dalfen teaches
dream analysis to counselling students at Concordia
University in Montreal. She’s appeared on hundreds of
radio shows and podcasts and loves call-in programs
because she is terrific at thinking on her feet and
knows how to have fun with listeners. Contact her at
(514) 898-9150; info@haveagreatdream.com
10. ==> Why Women Directors Are Snubbed
While female directors are not given their due in
Hollywood, this wasn’t always the case. “In Episode 3
of my TV series ‘Kailin Gow’s Go Girl Food, Travel, and
Lost History,’ I talk about the lack of women directors
in Hollywood,” says Kailin Gow. “But what’s fascinating
is that the earliest pioneers of filmmaking in
Hollywood were women who wrote and directed many silent
films. When films started making money and being
profitable, that’s when many men entered filmmaking and
turned it into a big industry. The pioneer women
filmmakers were forgotten and left behind.” Kailin can
share how women can break through the glass ceiling in
this, and other, male-dominated industries. She is a
director/filmmaker and the founder of Sparklesoup Inc.
She’s sold over 5.5 million books around the world.

11. ==> This Expert Knows Why People Tune You Out (and
What to Do About It)
When you talk, do others really pay attention?
Probably not, warns communication expert Paul Hellman.
Whether you’re presenting to a large audience, meeting
one-on-one, talking on the phone, or even sending an
email, people’s attention spans have almost vanished.
So you’ve got to engage others fast, before they tune
you out … maybe forever. Hellman will reveal specific
tactics to get heard in a noisy world, with deft
examples from the news and from clients he has worked
with. Hellman’s columns and advice have appeared in the
New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and on
public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual.
He is the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds:
Communication Secrets for a Distracted World.” Contact
him at (508) 276-7013; phellman@rtirguests.com
12. ==> How Domestic Violence Harms All of Us
According to Curt Lindsley, ” Domestic violence doesn’t
just affect the victims; it tears at the very fabric of
entire communities.” The domestic violence awareness
advocate says it can impact a company’s bottom line due
to lost productivity, can cause long-term health
problems in victims, can spill over to schools and
workplaces, and involve innumerable police man hours.
Thus, a multi-pronged approach is needed to tackle this
madness head on. Curt can share how communities,
organizations and individuals can come together to
curtail this epidemic, starting today. Curt is the
founder of the nonprofit domestic violence awareness
group Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go Purple Day™ (Oct.
1); and co-founder of the Covington Domestic Violence
Task Force, official sponsor of Purple Light Nights®.

13. ==> Medium Helps People Handle Loss and Grief

14. ==> Been-There Psychotherapist: How to Live Without
Anxiety
Audiences listen intently when psychotherapist Elke
Scholz talks about managing and reducing anxiety for a
more fulfilling (and longer!) life. She has deserved
and happily claims the moniker “Anxiety Warrior” when
helping people overcome fears, panic, worrisome days
and sleepless nights. But she does more than recommend
how to corral anxiety in personal and professional
life. She tells of her own anxiety battles, and how she
turned her life around. Her books including “Loving
Your Life” and “Anxiety Warrior.” Invite Elke on-air to
explore questions like: Why is workplace anxiety such
an onslaught? What about anxiety triggered by a
traumatic event, a lifestyle interruption, a health
challenge or seemingly nothing identified? What does a
life managing anxiety feel like? Does therapy ever need
to include meds? What simple activities encourage
confidence and calm? Contact Elke at (705) 710-4315;
escholz@rtirguests.com
15. ==> Deceived: What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You
Did you know it’s possible to reverse every disease?
That medicines don’t cure diseases – they are simply
managing the disease at the cost of side effects? That
not all “good” foods are good for everyone? Reena
Jadhav knows firsthand how important it is to take
control of your health and your body. She will share
the short cuts she learned the hard way, as she fought
her way back to good health after 28 symptoms of an
auto-immune illness went misdiagnosed and untreated for
years. A highly successful tech entrepreneur, educated
at Wharton and Harvard, Reena has a strong personal
story of surviving two major illnesses before the age
of 50. Reena is the author of the “HealJournal” and
creator of the New Health Pyramid. Her newest book
“Healed” empowers readers to take back their own health
using science. Contact Reena Jadhav at (650) 309-1005;

16. ==> Why Women Are Required to Save Our World
Our world, according to many experts, is heading
towards self-destruction. The existence of worldwide
nuclear weapons, countries run by tribal leaders and
unstable dictators, and a way of thinking that Einstein
called “a silent addiction leading to species suicide”
doesn’t bode well for any of us. Interview Dr. Donald
Pet, a psychiatrist who believes if we want to get
serious about creating world peace, women are the
answer! “Women by nature are nurturers and men by
nature create war,” says Pet. “Women are natural
communicators who use negotiating to show strength
instead of bully tactics!” Pet is the founder of the
Education Community (EC), a nonprofit organization,
which offers free college level courses teaching people
how to develop a “new way of thinking” that promotes
happiness, love and peace. Contact him at (860)
253-2691; DPet@rtirguests.com
17. ==> How Science and Spirituality Can Abundance
According to author and scientist David. L. Peters,

a life of joy and happiness, under all conditions that
life sends you, the good or the not-so-good.” David has
spent 80 years living a joyful and abundant life,
immersed in science and spirituality where he has found
that one supports the other. “The pathway of the 12
steps leads to joy and happiness even under devastating

his career as an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised
seven great kids and has enjoyed a loving marriage of
57 years. He is the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and
Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies
Within.” Contact David at DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607)

18. ==> How to Have the Perfect School
Why do kindergartners love school but by the end of
high school most students can’t wait to leave? The joy
and excitement that can be found in those early years
quickly dissipates, but fixing it is easier than you
think! “There are so many ways to create a perfect
school,” says Lee Jenkins, a career educator with a
passion for improving student learning in school. “From
giving students choice in how to do homework to
creating a team feel in every classroom, where they are
more interested in outperforming their own best work
instead of competing with each other… it works!” In
fact, teachers using Lee’s method are seeing an
increase in classroom learning by six times the
national average! Lee Jenkins’ new book is “How to
Create a Perfect School.” He has been an educator and
administrator in public schools and universities.

19. ==> Why Do So Many Young People Hate Themselves?
Parenting expert Emily Slingluff tackles some of the
toughest questions being asked today by thoughtful
persons everywhere: Why do many young people hate
themselves? Why do so many choose to be unkind, to
commit violence and break laws? Why would a six-year-
old choose to be a bully? Emily has been writing about
parenting topics for 30 years and has identified what
she says is the real cause of the hatred and mass
shootings that are plaguing our country and their
simple solution! Her newest book is “Choosing
