=======================================
1. ==> The Poor People’s Campaign Goes to Washington
The Poor People’s Campaign is organizing a series of
actions in Washington, D.C. over the next week
including a presidential candidates forum. Campaign co-
chairs Rev. Graylan S. Hagler and Rev. William Barber
explain the national call for moral revival. “Three
years ago, even before the Trump administration, we
went all across this country to more than 30 states,
invited by persons who said it’s time for us to have a
moral fusion movement, to say that we can challenge
these five interlocking injustices: systemic racism,
systemic poverty, ecological devastation, a war economy
and the false moral narrative of religious
nationalism.” Hagler is senior pastor at the Plymouth
Congregational United Church of Christ in Washington,
D.C. At last year’s actions by the Poor People’s
Campaign, Rev. Hagler was arrested at a protest for
voting rights. His passport was taken away and he’s had
to report to authorities weekly ever since. Contact
Rev. Hagler at gshagler@verizon.net, @graylanhagler,

2. ==> It’s a Real Problem: Detecting Deepfake Videos
Lawmakers are concerned that deepfake videos could be
used to influence the 2020 election and now the U.S.
government is working to create technology to detect
them. Hany Farid teaches at UC Berkeley and is an
expert in digital forensics. He is working with the
Defense Department’s research program DARPA where
researchers have been downloading hours and hours of
video of the 2020 candidates to build a system that
recognizes how they move when they talk. He calls it
fingerprinting. “We are going to get to a point where
you are not going to be able to visually be able to
distinguish fake videos and we sort of wanted to get
out ahead, before we get to that point.” Hany hopes to
have all the candidates’ fingerprinted by 2020 so news
outlets and others can check questionable videos for
authenticity. Contact him at

3. ==> How to Celebrate Dad: Last Minute Father’s Day
Ideas
Did you forget that Sunday is Father’s Day? Are you
stumped about how to spend the day with dad? You can go
out to dinner or have the usual backyard BBQ, but why
not celebrate ALL the fathers in your life with an old-
fashioned Father’s Day family gathering! Invite wedding
and event specialist Lynne Goldberg to share tips for
creating a last-minute multi-generational event that
everyone will enjoy, especially Dad. “I suggest
inviting 3 or 4 families and their extended families,
depending on how large they are,” she says. “Then ask
each family to bring one of their dad’s favorite dishes
and name it, like Manny’s Marvelous Meatballs or Pop’s
Put the Fire Out Chili. You can even create hilarious
contests, silly competitions and trivia games that
allow younger generations to learn a little more about
Dad, Grandpa and Uncle Joe.” Lynne Goldberg is the
president of Boca Entertainment, a full service event
planning company that specializes in theme
entertainment. She’s appeared on reality TV and her
work and commentary has been featured in the New York
Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post and Wall Street
Journal. Contact her at (561) 212-6024;

4. ==> What Dad Needs: Some Serious 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

5. ==> This Father’s Day, Take a Dad-less Boy Under
Your Wing
As a divorced dad to two young boys, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows how important it is for boys to have
male role models. Since 81 percent of all single parent
households are headed by moms, he sees a real need for
men to get involved with the young males in their
communities. “There is a severe fatherhood deficit in
our society,” he says. “I see young kids out on the
street, doing drugs because nine times out of 10, their
fathers are absent.” Eric can share what men can do to
mentor the young boys in their communities, and how
this benefits society as a whole. “We need more
interaction between the church, the YMCA and other
programs through which men can help them to learn
manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and
help to keep boys out of trouble.” Pastor Eric is the
second-generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance
Ministries in Richardson, Texas, and the author of the
upcoming book “Are You Ready for Marriage?” Contact him

6. ==> Father’s Day Show – It’s OK to Dump Negative
Parents
We all have them – those parents, friends and relations
who do nothing but criticize, complain about anything
and everything and make us feel small and undeserving.
Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity,
start a dialog and if that doesn’t work, take a break
or walk away from that relationship. Annie Evans
believes that if you don’t deal with them, there’s a
really good chance you’ll turn out just like them.
Evans personally knows how negativity breeds
negativity. Combined with some serious life challenges,
she went on her own downward spiral. Being raised by a
severely mentally-ill mom and losing two life partners
is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans will share her
startling story, and help listeners learn real
strategies to change their mindsets, interactions and
take charge of their attitudes. Contact her at
aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.
7. ==> 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;

8. ==> Discover Why Global Travel is Safer Than You
Think
For some people, worries about crime and terrorism are
enough to rule out travel outside the U.S. And that’s a
shame, says internationally acclaimed travel expert
Chris Herrmann, who points out that when it comes to
being fearful many folks are their own worst enemy.
Chris can share the fears that nearly kept him back
from an amazing backpack trip he took around the world
at age 62 as well as ways to ensure that your own
international trip is as safe as possible. The author
of “The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel” has appeared on
TV, radio, and in print media across Australia. Reach

9. ==> What’s Really Behind Last Night’s Nightmare
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 the 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

react if caught in a public place where streams of
bullets put you in mortal danger? Would you know how to

11. ==> The Market is Hot: Should You Sell Your Home?
In the world of real estate, we’re in a seller’s
market, so is it time to put your house up for sale?
What if you’re nearing retirement? “That depends,” says
financial planner Penelope Tzougros. “You may get more
money for your property now, but what will you do with
that money and where will you live?” Penelope will
explain why net profit isn’t the most important
consideration in selling your home no matter what your
age, and reveal the most critical questions to ask
before making the transition. Penelope says the key to
making the right decision is having a game plan.
“People don’t understand the cost of running their
lifestyle. A new residence has its own demands and
joys, but how you want to spend money every day is
likely to be predictable. Can you afford your lifestyle
and your new residence? If you are near or in
retirement these are critical questions that can
enhance or diminish your retirement.” Penelope
Tzougros, PhD, ChFC, CLU, is a seasoned media pro. She
created and hosted the Boston TV show Money Matters as
well as a radio show that aired for 7 years. “Your Home
Sweet Home: How to Decide Whether You Should Stay or
Move in Retirement” is her latest book. Contact

minutes each day weeding. Just 5 or 10 minutes keeps
weeds at bay and keeps you in control of your garden.
Jennifer Cochern, LCPC, will help your audience do the
same in their personal lives! “Weeding your garden can
also be seen as a metaphor for weeding your life. It’s
important to take time each day to remove people and
things, thoughts and habits from your life that no
longer serve you. When you water a garden, everything
grows – weeds and plants alike. What do you want
growing in your life? And what no longer serves you?
And, most importantly, how can you know the
difference!” Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is the author of
“Alignment: Move from Internal Chaos to Clarity.” She

13. ==> What No One Tells New Grads about Jobs

to begin the next step in their journey, the one that

15. ==> It’s Wedding Season! Don’t Walk Down the Aisle
Before Hearing from this Long-Married Expert

16. ==> Human Trafficking Activist: The Truth About At-
Risk Immigrants
As the immigration crisis continues to dominate the
news, there has been quite a lot of focus on the
possibility that human traffickers are exploiting many
asylum seekers. But according to Raleigh Sadler, a
Christian reverend and founder of the human trafficking
awareness group Let My People Go, the situation is far
more complicated and insidious. “Currently, most who
are trafficked come through legal points of entry,” he
reveals. “As we focus on those illegally crossing the
border, we miss the reality that many who are
undocumented and already in the U.S. are potential
targets of would-be traffickers.” In addition, human
trafficking is far more prevalent than the general
public realizes, and it can affect virtually any
community. He can share how we can stop this terrible
human rights abuse for good. Raleigh is the author of
“Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact him

18. ==> His Grandfather was the Prince of New York
Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the “Prince of New
York.” Born a Russian Prince in 1890, he married a
Russian princess, escaped to England from the
Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel. In 1931, at
the age of 53, Serge joined the Commandos under “Wild
Bill” Donovan and completed two successful missions
parachuting into occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis… and

his grandfather but also the Astors and American
aristocratic life at that time. Ivan Obolensky is a
