=======================================
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
(IL); m-sahlins@uchicago.edu

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;
JSanner@rtirguest.com

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;
(310) 997-4947.

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.
Contact Kailin at KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121.

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®.
Contact Curt at clindsley@rtirguests.com; 256-213-1092.

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

There are many types of loss, and millions of people
worldwide are experiencing grief and life
interruptions. Maybe they have lost a loved one to
death, divorce or estrangement. They could be dealing
with a lost job, business, property or savings. Perhaps
they’re watching freedom or health slip away. Give your
audience the comforting words and wise spiritual advice
of Beth Lynch, who uses her intuitive gifts and
insights to help others navigate personal and
professional loss. Beth explores everything from the
effects of our dreams to communicating with the other
side. Ask her questions like: How do you find
unexpected sources of strength? Can deeper spirituality
heal mental health issues? Might you hurt more because
of medicines you take? Will helping others lead to your
healing? Do deceased loved ones send us consoling
messages? Why does she say “to understand life we must
understand death?” Contact Beth at (484) 705-2818;
BLynch@rtirguests.com

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;
RJadhav@rtirguests.com

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,
“Abundance is not more money or ‘things.’ Abundance is
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
conditions.” At 84, he has achieved great prominence in
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)
304-3329.

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.
Contact him at (484) 306-8784; LJenkins@rtirguests.com

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
Happiness.” She was named Fulltime Homemaker of the
Year for the State of Virginia by Phyllis Schlafly and
Eagle Forum shortly after her first book came out. She
is a graduate of Sweet Briar College with a degree in
government and economics and was an assistant editor at
The Virginia-Pilot. Contact her at (757) 800-0246;

20. ==> Isn’t it Time to Turn Off Your Electronics?

Texting and social media can help you to stay
connected, yet at the same time, are they ruining your
relationships with your family members? Invite author
and award-winning screenwriter, TV/film producer, and
journalist Maryann Ridini Spencer to share her tips on
how to cut back on using electronics and start living
in the moment and enjoying life more. Ask her: How can
you break your addiction to electronics? How can you
stay connected to friends and family without relying on
social media? Maryann’s novel, “Lady in the Window,”
examines how to fully experience the richness of life.

1. ==> New Report: Syrian Chemical Attacks Were Staged

Last year, after claims the Syrian government had
launched a chemical weapons attack, the US, UK and
France launched strikes at three government targets.
But a new report finds those chemical weapons strikes
were staged. Theodore Postol, professor of science,
technology, and international security at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, can provide his
assessment of the newly revealed internal engineering
assessment by the Organization for the Prohibition of
Chemical Weapons (OPCW). He says the report is clear,
“The holes in the reinforced concrete roofs that were
supposedly produced by high-speed impacts of industrial
chlorine canisters dropped from helicopters were
instead created by earlier explosions of either
artillery rockets or mortar shells.” He adds, “As such,
35 deaths that were originally attributed to these
staged chlorine events cannot be explained and it
cannot be ruled out that these people were murdered as
part of the staging effort.” Contact Theodore Postol at
postol@mit.edu

2. ==> Will Castro, Star of ‘Unique Rides’

Will Castro is one of the most popular car customizers
in America with a client-base of A-list celebrities,
athletes, corporations, and automotive enthusiasts.
Invite him on your show to share anecdotes from working
with some of the biggest names in sports, music, film
and television; including P. Diddy, LeBron James, Nicki
Minaj, Carmelo Anthony, Jason DeRulo, IceT and DJ
Khaled, just to name a few. You’ll also learn what cars
are best suited for specific customization and how
anyone can add “unique” flair to their ride with stereo
and video systems, cigar boxes and more. Unique Rides
airs on the Velocity Channel. Will is also a television
executive producer and the host of the automotive
lifestyle podcast Unique Radio. His new book is “Unique
Hustle.” Contact Merritt Smail at merritt@mango.bz?

3. ==> CEO/Rocker Shares Stories on Living Life in
Harmony

He’s the CEO of a billion-dollar company but Kevin
Guest has always been a musician at heart. Kevin’s
shared the stage with Eddie Money, Kenny Loggins and
other rock-n-roll icons and met fascinating people from
all walks of life, and he believes that each experience
— in music and business — has built upon another to
contribute to his living a life in harmony. Invite him
on your show to share entertaining anecdotes and
inspiring stories that illustrate the 12 foundational
principles by which he lives and that he believes will
lead others on their own path to success and happiness.
Hear how he scored an interview with Gene Simmons of
KISS and then spent the night before learning how to
use the $80-thousand-dollar camera, how he had a panic
attack in front of Keith Urban and Brooks & Dunn at
Grand Ole Opry, and what he’s learned through his
experiences. Kevin Guest is CEO of USANA, a health and
nutritional supplement company. He still performs
part-time with country music superstar Collin Raye and
plays regular gigs with The Free Radicals, a band
featuring members of the USANA management team.
Proceeds from his new book “All the Right Reasons: 12
Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony,” go
to USANA’s True Health Foundation, a nonprofit charity
that helps people in need around the world. Contact Tim
Brown at (801) 557-1466; tim@candidcom.com?

4. ==> The Real Reason You Have to Get up to Pee at
Night!

Many people have problems with nighttime urination.
Some individuals have to get up three or four times a
night to visit the bathroom and may have trouble
falling asleep again. This condition is often blamed on
drinking too many fluids, prostate problems, heart
problems or having a small bladder. But Michael Platt,
M.D., can reveal the often-overlooked and easily fixed
cause of nighttime wakefulness—the release of
adrenaline (the fight or flight hormone) to feed the
brain. He’ll explain why frequent urination may be
caused by excess adrenaline and offer the specific
dietary changes that can lead to more time in bed and
less time in the bathroom. Michael E. Platt is a board
certified internist practicing in Palm Desert, Calif.,
who originated the “Wellness Hour” on TV and wrote the
weekly “Hey, Doc” newspaper. He is the author of
“Adrenaline Dominance: A Revolutionary Approach to
Wellness.” Reach him at (760) 836-3232 office; (760)

6. ==> Get a Killer Beach Body Before Summer Without
Exercise

Here it comes again – the dreaded bathing suit and
short season. So how can you help your listeners
measure up without hardly breaking a sweat? Renowned
health and fitness guru Adita Yrizarry-Lang has the
answers. She’ll not only help audiences rock their
bathing suits without deprivation, starvation and non-
stop workouts, she’ll change their entire outlook on
health and fitness. Adita, author of “SuperPowers, A
Busy Woman’s Guide to Health and Happiness,” is a 30-
year fitness and wellness educator. This powerhouse has
been seen on NBC, quoted in Shape and Fitness and
traveled internationally helping people of all ages
achieve great nutrition and weight loss by making
simple changes in their lives. She’ll reveal how
everyday activities can easily replace miserable
workouts, why playing in the dirt with your kids is
more effective than the gym and why something as basic
as drinking more water will get you to lose ten pounds.
Best of all, her advice is so doable that even the most
ridiculously busy man or woman can eliminate guilt,
wasted time working out and finally find inspiration
staying healthy and fit. Contact her at (305) 874-0268;
AYrizarry@rtirguests.com

7. ==> Fixing Income Inequality Is Not Just for
Billionaires

Last week, billionaire Robert F. Smith stunned the 2019
class of Morehouse College by announcing that he would
pay off all their student loans. And in doing so,
Smith’s gesture also inadvertently ended up causing a
backlash against another black billionaire, Oprah
Winfrey. Interview Suzette Webb, whose youngest son
currently attends Morehouse and had another son
graduate from there, to get to the heart of the lesson
we should learn from this episode: we are our brothers’
keepers and you don’t have to be a billionaire to work
toward a more equal America. Indeed, she can talk about
ways helping other people leads to their desire to pay
it forward. Suzette holds an MBA from the Kellogg
Graduate School of Northwestern University. She is a
mother, entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and the author
of “Blues to Blessings.” Contact her at (708) 261-3303;
suzette@bluestoblessings.com

8. ==> One Trait That Can Failure-Proof Your Life

The most extraordinary people including Albert
Einstein, DaVinci, Mozart and Steve Jobs had one common
trait that was the secret to their success: Intuition.
“But this revolutionary inner power is not just for the
elite few; it is the birthright of each and every one
of us,” says acclaimed author Kim Chestney. “It is our
secret ‘Inner Creator’ that makes the difference
between the good and the great, the smart and the wise,
and the ordinary and the extraordinary life.” Einstein
said: “The only real valuable thing is Intuition.” Kim
will illustrate how to tap into this innate trait, with
life-changing results. She 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
launching now. Contact her at KChestney@rtirguests.com;
(412) 214-9502.

9. ==> How to Become an Activist

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the Don Quixote of
health care reform and at 85, he’s probably one of the
oldest activists around! He’s been hounding Federal
agencies to solve the health care crisis in this
country for decades, and still the system is a mess AND
fatal medical errors in hospitals continues to rise.
Dr. Williams has now developed a system to empower
local grassroots activists in each state to work to
radically change our health care delivery system. He
says each state is responsible for our nation’s
healthcare delivery system and will explain how to
organize grassroots activists to challenge the current
system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an experienced

11. ==> Spine Surgeon: Swap Surgery & Drugs for Yoga &
Meditation

Get ready for a controversial and eye-opening show as
David Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s
Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” blows the lid off
traditional medical solutions for chronic pain. As the
expert that the medical and pharmaceutical professions
fear, he’ll present research-based evidence and
information about the direct connection between stress,
anxiety and physical pain, and validate alternative
stress-relieving health and wellness initiatives.
Hanscom, who gave up his surgical career while at his
peak, will reveal why traditional medicine and drugs
add to pain and don’t work in 90% of the cases. He’ll
help your listeners take charge of and eliminate their
own pain, by embracing age-old wellness strategies that
rewire the brain’s reaction to anxiety before pain can
take hold. A speaker and talk-show guest, including The
Dr. Oz Show, Hanscom will also explore how gratuitous
surgeries and just plain bad-doctoring are everywhere
and reveal who’s really benefiting from these
procedures and how doctors are feeding the epidemic of
narcotic addition in the U.S. Contact him

12. ==> The Shocking Truth About Church Child Abuse

The Catholic church child sex abuse scandal has
dominated the news in recent times, with thousands of
victims from around the world coming forward.
Shockingly, many clergy members have received mere
slaps on the wrist. According to Raleigh Sadler, a
Christian reverend and founder of the human trafficking
awareness group Let My People Go, it’s a matter of too
much power. “These institutions are very powerful,
which is why abusers often aren’t prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law,” he says. That’s why Raleigh
and his group are working toward ensuring that churches
are sanctuaries where the most vulnerable among us can
feel safe, and he can share what society as a whole can
do to end the horror. He is the author of “Vulnerable:
Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact Raleigh at

13. ==> When a Spouse Dies: Practical Ways to Move
Forward

Even though she’s a chaplain serving the emotional and
spiritual needs of people going through traumatic
events, and she’d been caring for him during a long
illness, Diann Pass was rattled after losing her
husband of nearly 30 years. When he died, he took with
him the future life they’d planned and she quickly
discovered the lack of practical information out there
to help widows and widowers pick up the pieces of their
lives. Invite her on your show and hear how to resume a
hopeful yet different life after the death of a spouse,
including many things you can do to emerge from the fog
of grief, which can make even the smallest decisions
difficult. In addition to being a workplace chaplain,

14. ==> How to Know if You’re Addicted to Food

100 million people are obese in the US alone and food
addiction is rampant in this country. But did you know
you could be addicted to food and not even know it?
It’s time for Americans to take a long hard look at
their love affair with food! “Of the 10 most common
addictions food is definitely way up there,” says Dr.
Michael McGee, MD – a psychiatrist who blends science
with spirituality to give people back control over
their lives. Dr. McGee will show your audience how to
look at the science of habit and his “Good now, Bad
later” philosophy to help them figure out if they are
addicted to food (or anything else!) and what they can
do to gain more control over their choices. He’ll share
3 easy ways to make your eating habits healthy again –
simply by making unhealthy food not obvious,
unattractive and difficult to obtain. Of course,
reversing this process makes healthy eating easier! Dr.
Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical
Schools. He is the author of “The Joy of Recovery: The
New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction.” Contact

16. ==> What House Flipping Shows Don’t Tell You

Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy. But according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works. “They show the
befores and afters and how much they paid and sold it
for,” he says. “But they don’t tell you what they paid
the bank in loan costs, all the ‘un-billed’ time
involved, or about the construction deals they get
because they have a TV show.” Dan is a long-time
property renovator who can tell your audiences how to
get the most bang for their buck by improving rental
properties, and other money-making tips. He is the
author of “The Effective Landlord: How Owners and
Property Managers Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise
Rents, and Boost Their Bottom Line in Any Market.”

1. ==> Violent Tornadoes Target Heartland

Over 2 million people were bracing for severe weather
yesterday with the National Weather Service issuing the
highest level threat for violent tornadoes. Meantime,
more than 50 million people were at risk of other
severe weather, including fierce winds, large hail and
flash flooding. Chris Mullen, a University of
Mississippi civil engineering professor, has studied
tornadoes and other natural disasters extensively for
several years. Invite this expert to discuss what an
EF5 tornado is, and why it causes so much damage. He
can also share lifesaving tips to survive a twister and
its terrifying impact. “Remember, getting out alive
should always be the goal,” Mullen says. “The more
prepared you are for a tornado, the better your chances
for surviving it.” Listeners will learn how to access
National Weather Service alerts using a cell phone app
and a weather radio, where to go in the event of a
tornado warning (and for how long), as well as what to
have on hand during and after a natural disaster.
Contact Mullen at 662-915-5370; cvchris@olemiss.edu

2. ==> Getting Back to Business after a Tornado

Tornadoes not only destroy homes, they also batter
businesses in the region they strike. Donna Childs, a
former reinsurance executive, can explain what
businesses now face after the massive storm, where they
can turn for help, and how business owners, just like
home owners, should plan for disasters. Donna’s been
honored by the American Red Cross for her volunteer
work helping small businesses in the Gulf Coast states
recover from Hurricanes Katrina, Gustav and Ike. She’s
dealt with disasters around the world and at Ground
Zero, where her business and home were based on 9/11.
Donna has appeared on local and national radio and TV
programs and is the author of “Prepare for the Worst,
Plan for the Best: Disaster Preparedness and Recovery
for Small Businesses,” Contact her at (401) 615-4000;

3. ==> Fetishes and Foibles of History’s Most Famous
Royals

For more royal fun, invite Tracy Borman on your show to
share a unique look at history’s most famous royal
figures by skipping the dates and diplomacy and
revealing the fetishes and foibles that reveal the true
human beings behind the pomp and pageantry. Borman
hosts the new show Private Lives of the Monarchs. Among
those profiled in the series are Queen Victoria (who
was fond of chewing gum – laced with cocaine!); King
Henry VIII (who favored astrology as a means of
controlling his increasing weight); King Louis XIV (who
was said to have bathed three times in his entire
life); and Charles II (a man called “too randy to
rule.”) Tracy Borman is joint chief curator of the
Historic Royal Palaces. She presented three TV series
based on her research about the private lives of
historical figures. She’ll discuss the new series and
some of the surprising secrets we’ll learn about the
iconic rulers from our history books. Contact John
Angelo at john@premieretv.com

4. ==> Get a Killer Beach Body Before Summer Without
Exercise

Here it comes again – the dreaded bathing suit and
short season. So how can you help your listeners
measure up without hardly breaking a sweat? Renowned
health and fitness guru Adita Yrizarry-Lang has the
answers. She’ll not only help audiences rock their
bathing suits without deprivation, starvation and non-
stop workouts, she’ll change their entire outlook on
health and fitness. Adita, author of “SuperPowers, A
Busy Woman’s Guide to Health and Happiness,” is a 30-
year fitness and wellness educator. This powerhouse has
been seen on NBC, quoted in Shape and Fitness and
traveled internationally helping people of all ages
achieve great nutrition and weight loss by making
simple changes in their lives. She’ll reveal how
everyday activities can easily replace miserable
workouts, why playing in the dirt with your kids is
more effective than the gym, and why something as basic
as drinking more water will get you to lose ten pounds.
Best of all, her advice is so doable that even the most
ridiculously busy man or woman can eliminate guilt,
wasted time working out and finally find inspiration
staying healthy and fit. Contact her at (305) 874-0268;
AYrizarry@rtirguests.com

5. ==> May 28th is World Bedwetting Day

World Bedwetting Day started in the UK five years ago
to raise awareness of bedwetting as a common condition
that can be treated. Appreciative audiences listen
intently when sought-after speaker Jeff Lazarus, M.D.,
discusses his comprehensive home video program “Keeping
the Bed Dry,” which incorporates medical hypnosis for
anyone hoping to finally awaken to a dry bed. Invite
this acclaimed pediatrician to answer questions like:
How does hypnosis work so well to help bedwetters? What
other advice does he offer for lifestyle and behavior?
What should parents, teachers, coaches and health
professionals know? Why do so many doctors avoid the
issue? Do adult diapers only make things worse? Contact
Dr. Lazarus at (216) 800-0498; jlazarus@rtirguests.com

6. ==> Expert Helps Couples Cross the Beer/Wine Divide

In many households, the great divide between men and
women is based on what they drink; one likes beer, the
other prefers wine, but how can they ever come
together? As the author of “50 Ways to Love Wine More:
Adventures in Wine Appreciation” and “A Beer Drinker’s
Guide to Knowing and Enjoying Fine Wine,” Jim Laughren,
CWE, has the perfect background for uniting cross-
drinking couples once at for all and having fun doing
so. Ask him: What are some good wine choices for people
who like intense, bitter IPAs or rich, creamy stouts?
What beer-like trend in wine makes them both perfect
for summer picnics or lazy days at the beach? He is the
past president of a wine importing and distribution
company and is known for his fun and irreverent wine
classes and seminars. Contact him at (954) 317-9623;

7. ==> Why it’s Cheaper to Travel the World Than to
Stay Home

Ask people why they don’t travel and many will say they
can’t afford it. But internationally acclaimed travel
expert Chris Herrmann begs to differ. In fact, he makes
the seemingly outrageous claim that it is cheaper to
travel the world than to stay home! Invite him on air
to explain why this is so as well as which countries
are veritable bargains. He’ll also share some of the
adventures he had when he backpacked around the world
at age 62 and how he is currently traveling across
North America in a luxury RV for $20 a day. Possessed
with a lovely Australian accent, this media-savvy guest
skewers other reasons people give for avoiding travel
(i.e. it’s too dangerous, I’m too young or too old; I
don’t have the time to plan, etc.). Chris is the author
of “The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel,” an
entertaining story about his journey. He hopes his
story will inspire others to challenge themselves.

across Australia. Reach him at (215) 883-4319;

8. ==> The Future of Healthcare Belongs to States

In a new poll by Real Clear Politics released last
week, respondents selected health care as the top issue
facing America today—choosing it over the economy,
environment, education, foreign policy and immigration.
The poll also found that the 28 percent of respondents
agreed that the U.S. health-care system is so broken
that a new system is needed. Deane Waldman, M.D., MBA,
agrees, but says, “We must change the narrative to move
beyond Medicare for All or fixing the Affordable Care
Act. In fact, the federal government, which has
mismanaged Medicare and Medicaid and rewarded their
failures for the last 50 years, must be completely
removed from the equation.” Waldman will discuss five
reasons Washington should get out of the healthcare
business, why state governments can do a better job
choosing and running healthcare, and how a market-based
state plan might work. Deane Waldman, M.D., MBA, is the
former chief of cardiology (pediatric) at University of
Chicago, a professor emeritus of pediatrics, pathology
and decision science, a distinguished senior fellow in
health care policy at Texas Public Policy Foundation,
and sits on the board of directors of the New Mexico
Health Insurance Exchange. He has written five print
books and six e-books and has had articles published by
Fox News, CNS News, Huffington Post, The Hill, Real
Clear Politics, Forbes, Real Clear Health, Investor’s
Daily, USA Today and more. Contact him at (505)

9. ==> Former Agent Reveals Behind-the-Scenes IRS Chaos

April 15 has come and gone, but millions of Americans
are still angry because of the complicated, stressful
taxation they must navigate. What most taxpayers don’t
realize: The feared IRS is actually a hotbed of
incompetence and disorder that hurts you. So says
former IRS agent and tax expert Richard Green who will
shock audiences by revealing how the Internal Revenue
Service is staffed year-round by slow-moving staff
using antiquated technology. As your guest, Green will
answer questions like: What types of IRS
miscommunication and lack of cooperation happen? How do
taxpayers suffer because of such poor service? Are
decisions for audits fair? Only someone like Green,
who’s seen it firsthand, can blow the whistle on the
chaotic IRS. Richard Green has authored “Agents of
Deceit”. Contact him at (909) 570-1509;
rgreen@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Expert Stops Pain On-Air

If you, a colleague or one of your callers is
experiencing persistent pain Dawn Crystal may be able
to provide instant relief live on your show. Crystal
says even the healthiest of people have energy
blockages. As a gifted sound energy healer, she can
sense where the blockages are and blow them away using

expert uses sound frequencies to rebalance the human
body and to rid it of inflammation. Best of all, other

pain, tooth pain and back pain. Crystal, who has been
effecting this type of dramatic drug-free pain relief
for a decade, counts celebrities and CEOs among her
clients. Now she wants to teach people how to heal
their own bodies for peaceful, pain-free lives. She has
a collection of MP3s for sale on her website that let
people release their own blockages. Reach her at (807)

11. ==> What the FBI Got Right!

John Smith was an ordinary guy who spent 5 years in
public accounting only to get caught up in the S&L
crisis during the 1980’s. As far as he knew, everything
at his company was above board – until the FBI came
knocking and John came to realize the extent of his
employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
to hear his incredible true story of perseverance and
grit. His warning to your audience is this – If it can
happen to him, it can happen to you. Smith worked
diligently with the FBI for years, helping to put away
the guilty people involved. Fifteen years after his
sentencing they finally admitted that he should never
have been prosecuted in the first place – and
encouraged him to apply for a Presidential Pardon! John
Smith is the author of “Embracing the Abyss” and a
keynote speaker on ethics and integrity in the
workplace and in life. Contact him at (214) 216-2199;

12. ==> The College Lie that Caused the Bribery Scandal

College advisors Lindy and Tom Schneider say if Lori
Loughlin, Felicity Huffman, and the dozens of wealthy
parents caught up in Operation Varsity Blues knew
anything about how to help their kids succeed in life
they would never have become involved in a college
bribery scandal to get their children into an elite
school. Lindy says it doesn’t matter where you go, what
matters is what you do when you’re there! “Many highly
successful people, CEOs, celebrities, and entrepreneurs
did not go to Ivy League schools, but they were
intentional about making quality connections while they
were students,” says Lindy. The Schneiders will discuss
how to make the most of your college experience, how
many years it really takes to get a degree, and why
socializing isn’t just a college distraction! Lindy and
Tom Schneider are the authors of “College Secrets of
Highly Successful People: Keys to Launching a Great
Life.” Contact Lindy Schneider at (602) 562-8669;

13. ==> What Makes 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!

School.” He has been an educator and administrator in
public schools and universities. Contact him at (484)

18. ==> Marriage Counselor Reveals Truth About the
First Couple

Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
disgraceful divorces. Pastor and marriage counselor
Rev. George Sukhdeo believes that Trump’s marriage to
Melania is also doomed. “Trump’s marriage is not going
to end well; his wife will most likely leave him,” he
says. “He doesn’t have the vaguest concept of marriage.
He doesn’t treat women with love and respect, or value
them for who they are.” Rev. George has been married to
his wife, Shirley, for 46 years and has counseled 500
troubled couples, with an 85 percent success rate. He
is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies
of Canada with 34 years of experience in Christian
ministries as a pastor, Christian counselor and life
coach. He is the author of the book Preparing for and
Fostering Harmony in Marriage. Contact Rev. George at

is a drug, but is that really the best choice?

to heal the body naturally without medications, so you
have more energy, look younger, and feel better. Invite
her to reveal the 3 main contributing factors to good
health. Her upcoming documentary, The Green Drank Tour,

1. ==> Will Bolton Push US into War with Iran?

The US has ordered all non-essential government
employees out of Iraq amid increasing tensions with
Iran and many observers worry we’re ramping up into a
war being pushed by national security Adviser John
Bolton. Dan Kovalik says “A war with Iran would be
unconscionable. Iran, which helped the U.S. in the
fight against terror after 9/11, is no threat to us.
The biggest threat to our nation and the world is in
fact the warmongers currently running the White House.”
Dan Kovalik currently teaches International Human
Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
He is a human rights, labor rights lawyer and peace
activist. His latest book is “The Plot to Attack Iran.”

winning author Paul Starr explores what will happen if
Trumpism isn’t a temporary aberration but rather a
long-term phenomenon. Invite him to discuss why he
believes a 2nd term for Trump is more likely than some
might think, the difference between electing Trump in
2016 and electing him again in 2020, and how
controlling the power of concentrated wealth has been
an ongoing struggle in the world’s capitalist
democracies. He’ll also explain the forces that make
change difficult, as well as the ones that make
dramatic change possible. Paul Starr is professor of
sociology and public affairs at Princeton University,
cofounder of The American Prospect magazine and winner
of the Pulitzer Prize for his book “The Social
Transformation of American Medicine.” “Entrenchment:
Wealth, Power, and the Constitution of Democratic
Societies” is his latest book. Contact Johanna Ramos

3. ==> Tackling Transgender Issues from a Christian
Perspective

The transgender debate is here to stay and heating up.
Invite J. Alan Branch to discuss transgenderism through
a biblical lens. The author of “Affirming God’s Image”
believes the pervasive cultural conversation about
‘social constructs’ and stereotypes regarding gender
are erasing the biological significance of our maleness
and femaleness and denying God’s intent for creation.
Invite him on your show to hear scientific research
around the transgender experience, why people pursue
gender reassignment surgery and what happens afterward,
as well as how to navigate conversations around the
topic when you find yourself in disagreements with
friends, family and co-workers—and are accused of
bigotry and worse. J. Alan Branch is Professor of
Christian Ethics at Midwestern Seminary. Contact Jason
Jones at jason@jonesliterary.com

4. ==> The Amazing Kreskin

The Amazing Kreskin has been America’s favorite
mentalist for the past six decades and his very name
has become an integral part of pop culture throughout
the world. During the past fifty years Kreskin has had
a television series, his own board game by Milton
Bradley, twenty published books, and a major motion
picture inspired by his work. He calls himself an
entertainer and not a psychic, but he is amazing, as he
tunes into the thoughts of individuals and audiences.
Kreskin’s legendary predictions have included insights
about Donald Trump’s Walls, wars, shootings in the
United States and advice for millennials. At 83 years
of age, Kreskin shows no signs of slowing down. He
continues to perform his legendary live shows in front
of packed audiences around the world, playing over 200+
dates yearly. Contact him at Kreskin@AichG.com

6. ==> MD Reveals the Shocking Truth Behind Prince’s
Death

When pop artist Prince died from a drug overdose on
April 21, 2016, his legions of fans were shocked and
saddened. But they never really learned the truth about
how his death could have been prevented. Addiction
specialist Isaac Alexis M.D. can share how Prince,
Elvis, Michael Jackson and other icons who succumbed to
drug overdoses could have been saved. “With Prince, his
death could have been prevented by restricting his
maximum daily dose,” Dr. Isaac says. “He could have
used more physical therapy and occupational therapy
alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to talk out what
current issues were in his environment that ‘triggered’
his drug use.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in
trauma surgery at Cornell University at New York
Hospital of Queens and spent many years working for the
criminal justice system. He served as medical director
at the Department of Justice as well as director of
infection control and chair of the quality improvement
medical committee. He is the author of the book “Life
and Death behind the Brick and Razor-Code Red Diamond”
and the upcoming “The Seductive Pink Crystal.” Contact

Drugs and Do Yoga & Meditate Instead for Pain

Get ready for a controversial and eye-opening show as
Dr. David Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A
Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” blows the lid
off traditional medical solutions for chronic pain. As
the expert that the medical and pharmaceutical
professions fear, he’ll present research-based evidence
and information about the direct connection between
stress, anxiety and physical pain, and validate
alternative stress-relieving health and wellness
initiatives. Hanscom, who gave up his surgical career
while at his peak, will reveal why traditional medicine
and drugs add to pain and don’t work in 90% of the
cases. He’ll help your listeners take charge of and
eliminate their own pain by embracing age-old wellness
strategies that rewire the brain’s reaction to anxiety
before pain can take hold. An in-demand speaker and
talk show guest, including The Dr. Oz Show, Hanscom
will also explore how gratuitous surgeries and just
plain bad-doctoring are everywhere. He’ll reveal who’s
benefiting from these procedures and how doctors are
feeding the epidemic of narcotic addition in the U.S.

9. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

Do you realize you can empower yourself to reduce
physical discomfort, ease anxiety and even slow (or
reverse) the progression of disease? How does illness
send you messages about your body, that you need to
know for longer, healthier life? When working with your
doctors, what should you know about self-healing?
What’s the link between disease and emotions? Explore
the answers when you interview physician and speaker
Dr. Nelie Johnson, initiator of the Forum “It’s Time to
Heal,” offering an integrative approach to treating

team. Her upcoming book is “The Healing Message of
Illness.” Contact Dr. Nelie Johnson at (604) 334-3853;

Family

We all have them – those friends and relations who do
nothing but complain about anything and everything.
Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity
and kick them to the curb. Annie Evans believes that if
you don’t, there’s a really good chance you’ll be
negative too. 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 and take
charge of their attitudes. Contact her at

Your Big Girl Panties and Deal with Your Life!

a straight-shooter and a real example of someone who
walked the walk. She pulled herself up by her

12. ==> Undertaker’s Daughter Shares What Death Can
Teach Us About Life

Most people don’t like to talk or even think about
death. But while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
home where her dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark
learned a lot about life from dead people. “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.” Margo can reveal her
journeys to the other side, experiences she had in
dreams and the important messages she received about
life from the deceased. She is the author of the

authors and spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra.

14. ==> Lose Weight by Eating More Pizza & Chocolate

Mouth-watering pizza. Rich chocolate. Both top the list
of foods many people can’t stop eating until they’ve
consumed the entire pie or box of candy. But live on-
air, Sora Vernikoff can teach your audience her simple
Green Technique that will allow them to eat all the
pizza and chocolate they want and still lose weight.
Turning conventional wisdom on its ear, she’ll explain
why thinking about food makes you fat—not eating it—and
bad-for-you foods are a myth. Sora, a former elementary
school teacher who lost 25 pounds and has kept them off
for decades, has helped hundreds of people discover the
secret for knowing when to stop eating. She is the
author of the Amazon bestseller “Eat Want You Want!

Handle Loss and Grief

There are many types of loss and millions of people

messages? Why does she say “to understand life we must
understand death?” Contact Beth at (484) 705-2818;

16. ==> Simple Ways We Can All Save the Planet

Environmentalists focus on saving the planet on a
broad, global level. However, the small things we all
do daily have the greatest impact. “We all tend to
waste food and other resources,” says author and
environmental engineer Yasmin Davar. “For example, we
throw out one third of the food we buy. We buy hardwood
furniture that has been illegally logged from Cambodian
national parks. We need to really examine our
consumerism.” Yasmin can discuss small but powerful
ways we can change our daily habits that can have a
dramatically positive impact on the world as whole. In
addition to being an environmental engineer, Yasmin
holds a Master of International Studies degree in Peace
and Conflict Resolution and is the author of “Our

Cure

Stress really can kill you. According to Steven M.
Hall, M.D., “Fifty percent of the U.S. population is
experiencing one or more stress-related diseases. What
society is doing to mitigate the adverse health effects
of stress isn’t working.” Dr. Steven has discovered a
solution to enable us to become impervious to the
stressors in our lives. And it doesn’t involve
repressing any emotions; quite the opposite. Hear how
his online class Taming the Bear: Taking the Bite Out
of Stress is having phenomenal success in people’s
lives and how anyone can get off the vicious stress
cycle for good. Dr. Steven has been practicing family
medicine since 1985. He is the author of “The 7 Tools

19. ==> Want to Become an Activist? Here’s How!

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the “Don Quixote”
of health care reform and at 85, he is probably one of
the oldest activists around. For decades he’s been
hounding Federal agencies to solve the health care
crisis in this country and still the system is a mess
AND fatal medical errors in hospitals continues to
rise. Dr. Williams has now developed a system to
empower local grassroots activists in each state to
work to radically change our health care delivery
system. He says each state is responsible for our
nation’s healthcare delivery system and will explain
how to organize grassroots activists to challenge the
current system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an
experienced surgeon and medical malpractice expert

20. ==> Master the Power of Public Speaking!

Eventually we’re all called upon to speak in front of a
group – whether it’s for career, school,
clients/customers, organization, place of worship or a
family gathering. How can you win BIG (and not dread)
public speaking? What does it take to have the needed
confidence, charisma and top-notch delivery? Audiences
will thank you for interviewing Jill Jaysen, a
communications and leadership development expert who
says we have all been mis-taught when it comes to
public speaking. Ask her: Why do the same old recycled,
generic formulas and gimmicks like “practice at a
mirror,” “videotape yourself, and “picture the audience
in their underwear” actually create mediocre speakers?
Jill says put everybody’s clothes back on! You’ll learn
when your speech actually starts, the biggest speaking
turn-offs despite what experts say, and how NLP relates
to public speaking. Contact her at (203) 442-9301;

1. ==> The Real Trade War: It’s Not What Trump Thinks

While President Trump fixates on tariffs, Orit Frenkel
says the real problem with China is its pursuit of
global digital domination. “While Washington is
targeting Beijing with tariffs over individual trade
grievances, China has been laying the foundation to
direct and influence digital trade — the booming engine
of global commerce — unopposed, with deep pockets and
grand ambitions. This should be our strategic and
diplomatic focus, because what China is doing globally
in this sphere has serious economic and national
security implications for the United States today and
well into the future.” Frenkel says China is ahead of
the US in the race to establish global trade rules on
digital commerce. She says what’s needed is investment,
diplomacy and a Digital Marshall Plan. Orit Frenkel,
former senior manager for international trade and
investment for General Electric, is executive director
of the American Leadership Initiative and president of
Frenkel Strategies. Contact her at @OritFrenkel

2. ==> Inside the National Security Council

At a time when many Americans have doubts about
government and questions about a so-called deep state
of unelected officials controlling policy, the National
Security Council (NSC) is a source of further mystery
and controversy. John Gans, PhD., former chief Pentagon
speechwriter and current director of communications and
research at the University of Pennsylvania’s global
policy institute, says understanding the NSC is
tantamount to grasping the missing link of foreign
policy: who influences the president’s biggest
decisions, how, and why. Invite him on your show for an
inside look at the people and the power of the NSC and
how its role has grown since its creation more than 70
years ago at the start of the Cold War. Dr. Gans is the
author of “White House Warriors: How the National
Security Council Transformed the American Way of War.”

3. ==> Your Game of Thrones Sword Cheat Sheet

Game of Thrones has paid special attention to the most
prominent swords, daggers, and personalized pieces of
weaponry, and the story of which character has which
weapon has become something of a subplot in and of
itself on the show. Domenic Melillo, author of the
popular “Swords of Valor” book series, has conducted
extensive research on swords and is a huge Game of
Thrones fan. Invite him on your show and ask him: How
important are the swords to the GOT thrones series? How
accurate do you think Game of Thrones is in simulating
historical weapons? Are the swords in the series
connected generation-to-generation in certain families
or houses? Contact Mark Goldman at

4. ==> May 21st is World Bedwetting Day

Why do so many youngsters avoid camping, sleep-overs
and napping away from home? What deeply embarrasses
adolescents and even older people during vacations,
retreats, field trips and other overnight travels? What
should they know about keeping the bed dry every night?
Just in time for World Bedwetting Day May 21st, Jeff
Lazarus M.D. can answer questions like: How does
hypnosis work to help bedwetters? What should parents,
teachers, coaches and health professionals know? Why do
so many doctors avoid the issue? Do adult diapers only
make things worse? Dr. Lazarus is an acclaimed
pediatrician and speaker. His comprehensive home video
program “Keeping the Bed Dry” incorporates medical
hypnosis for anyone hoping to finally awaken to a dry
bed. Contact him at (216) 800-0498;

5. ==> Interview the Beach Boys Bodyguard Who Saved
Brian Wilson’s Life

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 roommates and best friends with
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 co-authored the book “The Beach Boys
Endless Wave: Inside America’s Band” with 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;
(310) 997-4947

6. ==> Secrets to Successful House Flipping

Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy. But according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works. “They show the
befores and afters and how much they paid and sold it
for,” he says. “But they don’t tell you what they paid
the bank in loan costs, all the ‘un-billed’ time
involved, or about the construction deals they get
because they have a TV show.” Dan is a long-time
property renovator who can tell your audience how to
get the most bang for their buck by improving rental
properties, and other money-making tips. He’s the
author of “The Effective Landlord: How Owners and
Property Managers Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise
Rents, and Boost Their Bottom Line in Any Market.”

7. ==> Expert Shares Financial Fix for ‘Sandwiched’
Boomers

With the state of health care today, many people live
in fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
their savings and create a financial maelstrom that
their family would never recover from. Did you know
that, if you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of
your death benefits in CASH? David Kottler, also known
as the Insurance Doctor ™, explains how selling off
that life insurance policy you or your loved one
doesn’t need any more can generate the cash to pay
hospital bills… get out of debt… or even make a cash
gift to the non-profit of their choice! How is this
possible? Most people don’t know the little-known
secret that when you don’t need your policy any longer
you can auction it off! Find out how! 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

8. ==> How Embarrassing! Wardrobe Malfunctions at Work

When a celebrity has a wardrobe malfunction it makes
headlines. When one happens to ordinary people it won’t
make the news but that doesn’t mean it won’t impact
their career. Bring Wall Street executive, business
consultant and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-
check) on your show to talk about her own wardrobe
malfunction as well as how to handle the split skirts,
popped buttons, broken heals and other accidents that

AYrizarry@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Do a Show About Sexism in Hollywood

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’s a
director/filmmaker, the founder of Sparklesoup Inc. and
an internationally recognized, multi-award-winning
bestselling author who has sold over 5.5 million books.

11. ==> How Domestic Violence Harms All of Us

According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; it
tears at the very fabric of entire communities.”
Lindsley will explain how domestic violence can impact
a company’s bottom line due to lost productivity, cause
long-term health problems in victims, spill over to
schools and workplaces, and involve innumerable police
man hours. He says that’s why a multi-pronged approach
is needed to tackle this madness head on. Curt will
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®. Contact Curt at

Believes

Lindy and Tom Schneider, co-authors of “College Secrets

13. ==> What the FBI Got Right!

John Smith was an ordinary guy who spent 5 years in
public accounting only to get caught up in the S&L
crisis during the 1980’s. As far as he was concerned,
everything at his company was above board – until the
FBI came knocking! He came to realize the extent of his
employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
to hear his incredible true story of perseverance and
grit. His warning to your audience is this – If it can
happen to him it can happen to YOU. Smith worked
diligently with the FBI for years, helping to put away
the guilty people involved. Fifteen years after his
sentencing they finally admitted that he should never
have been prosecuted in the first place – and
encouraged him to apply for a Presidential Pardon! John
Smith is the author of “Embracing the Abyss” and a

14. ==> Best-Kept Secrets of Successful Teenagers

Teenagers are often known for being moody or silly, and
seemingly lost among the worry and angst of their
“almost an adult” years. But what about those teens who
are happy, hopeful, well-adjusted, and making confident
progress academically and in their everyday lives? What
do they know that could help ALL young people? Explore
this with acclaimed author Paul Bernabei, whose books
of the Top 20 series include “TOP 20 Teens.” He’ll

personal and school life. Audiences (teens and their
mentors/parents/teachers) will also hear must-know
lifelong secrets for “people-smart” communication,
conflict resolution, demonstrating kindness,
specializing in effective responses and much more.

15. ==> Suicide Prevention Begins in Preschool

Suicide prevention is often ineffective with its focus
on the symptoms of impending suicide. Meanwhile,
negative beliefs that lead to depression and suicide
get started very early in childhood. Author and
educator Anne Andrew, Ph.D., says a better idea is to
focus on the cause of suicidal thinking: self-loathing;
it is a result of negative beliefs children pick up
between birth and age eight, at a time when kids are
self-centered. Anne can offer parents in your audience
multiple strategies they can use now to increase their
child’s self-worth to reduce the risks of a possible
suicide later. She spent 20 years as a school principal
at Temple Sholom in Vancouver. Dr. Andrew is a Choose
Again facilitator, parenting coach and speaker who
presents workshops in the U.S, Canada and Europe. She
is the author of “What They Don’t Teach in Prenatal
Class: The Key to Raising Trouble-Free Kids and Teens.”

17. ==> Female Farmer Shares How to Grow Your Best Life

As she entered middle age, Sandra Matheson found
herself divorced, unable to continue her career as a
veterinarian due to work-related chemical sensitivities
and stuck with a money-losing farm, where she got
beaten up by a cow! But she picked herself up, dusted
herself off and set out on a successful career as a
rancher, which became a metaphor for her life. “Getting
older doesn’t mean we have one foot in the grave,” she
says. “We can seize life and wrangle what we want, make
hay while the sun still shines and embrace our
maturity, use what we have learned, do what we want to
and have some fun!” Sandra is the author of the
upcoming book “Thrive After 40: How to Seize the Life
of Your Dreams!” Contact her at

18. ==> “My Grandfather was the Most Interesting Man in
the World”

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 Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis and
has many amazing true stories to relate, not only about
his grandfather but also the Astors and American
aristocratic life at that time. Ivan Obolensky, a true
Renaissance man in his own right, is the author of “Eye
of the Moon.” Contact him at (818) 495-8731;

19. ==> Interview the Decision Doctor to Solve Your
Biggest Dilemma

Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making, or “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
she does it every day at work for her customers, so
when she was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even
scarier treatment option she decided (after freaking
out) to apply what she does at work to help her make
some important decisions. Terrie will share her
powerful story with your audience and explain how her
three-step decision making process makes any decision
easier to make. Terrie Novak’s unique framework for
“choice-making” can be applied to decisions of any
kind. Her book, “The Decision Doctor,” outlines a
three-step process she created to help heal herself.

1. ==> Climate Change and Ecosocialism

A new United Nations assessment concludes that as many
as one million plant and animal species are now at risk
of extinction because of man-made changes to the
Earth’s landscape. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says
that’s not a bad thing and that melting sea ice is
opening new passageways and opportunities for trade.
Invite teacher, activist and author Victor Wallis to
discuss what’s going on. “Pompeo is confirming that
climate change is indeed taking place and is something
to rejoice in! However, the very ice-melting that makes
him salivate will lead, at the same time, to the
submersion of coastal regions — including major
population centers — around the world.” Wallis says
apart from ecological concerns the situation is also
behind tens of millions of refugees fleeing droughts,
storms and wars. “Increasing percentages of the
refugees, if they survive their typically harrowing
treks or dangerous sea voyages, come up against vast
numbers of agents ‘trained, armed, and paid to stop
them.’ This drive to ‘stop them’ is promoted by a
ruling class which at the same time relentlessly stokes
the economic engines of capital that gave rise to the
climate crisis in the first place.” Victor Wallis is
the author of “Red-Green Revolution: The Politics and
Technology of Ecosocialism.” Contact him at
zendive@aol.com

2. ==> How to Survive a Mass Shooting

One student is dead and eight others injured after two
of their classmates opened fire at a suburban Denver
school this week. How would you react if caught in a
public place where streams of bullets put you in mortal
danger? Would you know how to escape an active
shooter’s attack? Should you fight back? Play dead?
Run? Stay locked in a room, closet or car? Shield
others? Use special tactics to protect yourself? And
what should your kids know? Explore the vital answers
with personal protection specialist Allen Banks, CEO of
Proactive Protection Agency. He has developed Active
Shooter Prevention and Workplace Violence Prevention
Training, and also a special program for schools and
other public settings. In this era of violent attacks
and even terrorism, you and your loved ones and
colleagues will want to hear this specialist’s life-
saving insights and advice. Invite audience questions!

abanks@rtirguests.com

3. ==> Archie Harrison: What the New Royal Name Means

Meghan and Harry have named their first child Archie
Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Invite B.P. Greycastle to
discuss the choice and what it means. He says, “Archie
will love music and his parents should play music
around him. He’ll also like things neat, clean and
organized.” He adds, “Archie could excel in the fields
of music, archeology and money management and will be
physically impulsive. He’ll also have a compassionate
heart and will be very moral.” Greycastle will reveal
how names and colors determine your personality traits
and talents as they correlate to your seven energy
centers: spiritual, intellectual, vocal, physical,
control, emotional and sexual. “The richest people have
certain color types,” he explains. “Ninety percent of
them are purple spiritual center people. William Gates
is one example.” He’ll illustrate on-air using a vast
array of lists, facts and figures how the most famous
and successful people in practically every career field
owe their success to their names, with astonishing
accuracy. B.P. Greycastle is the author of “Your Name
and Colors: Key to Your Beauty, Career, Personality,
Romance and Success.” Contact him at
drolley@rtirguests.com; (510) 570-1929.?

4. ==> 4 Ways a Mother Matters

In time for Mother’s Day this Sunday, invite parenting
expert Emily Slingluff on your program to reveal the
four huge ways mothers matter in their children’s
lives—perhaps more than ever! She can also answer such
questions as are mothers more important than fathers?
Do children suffer when their mother does not stay at
home with them full time? What role do mothers play in
reducing hate? Emily has been writing about the
importance of mothers for 30 years. She was named
Fulltime Homemaker of the Year for the State of
Virginia by Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle Forum shortly
after her first book came out. Her newest book is
“Choosing Happiness.” She is a graduate of Sweet Briar
College with a degree in government and economics and
was an assistant editor at The Virginia-Pilot. Contact
her at (757) 800-0246; eslingluff@rtirguests.com

5. ==> What Moms Need Most: Belly Laughs!

Unless they have a brother or two, most women are
genuinely surprised by just how amusing, gross, and
silly their sons can be. Diane Auten was no exception.
“Kids are the most hysterical and entertaining beings
on Earth,” Auten says. Knowing what a difficult job
motherhood can be, Auten wants to give mothers
everywhere a priceless present—the ability to laugh
aloud and compare notes on the funny situations little
boys naturally create around them. Being a ‘boymom’ is
totally optional to enjoying this topic as Auten shares
surprising things little boys say about sex and their
bodies, what makes the mother-son bond so special, and
how to connect better with the boys in our lives.
Auten, a professor of speech communication, wrote down
the crazy questions her young sons asked and recorded
the conversations that ensued. The stories were such a
big hit on social media they became the foundation of
her ‘momoir,’ “The Joys of Raising Boys: the Good, the
Bad, and the Hilarious.” Contact her at (805) 440-6532;
dauten@hancockcollege.edu

6. ==> How to Survive a Crazy Mom

Not everyone lives with June Cleaver. In fact, few moms
live up to that artificial standard. What happens when
Mom is the polar opposite? You have a few choices –
ignore her, walk away, deal with it or let yourself get
as crazy as she is. Sometimes you do them all. Annie
Evans knows. She’s been there and done that. She will
give you a show to remember as she tells her experience
– exploring the mother/daughter relationship at its
very core. Evans will help audiences learn how to
recover from non-existent parenting and broken trust.
She’ll offer ways to overcome the effects, and even
PTSD, that a mother’s mental illness leaves behind.
Contact her at aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.

7. ==> Do a Show on Forgiveness for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is meant to be a day to celebrate moms who
loved and nurtured us. However, not all of us had
mothers who fit that description. If you had a mother
who made you feel worthless every day of your life
beginning as a young child could you forgive her? Wade
Meadows did. In fact, he was her caregiver when she was
dying. Wade will reveal how he was able to let go of
all the traumatic things his mother put him through in
order to forgive her and emotionally free himself. This
insightful upbeat guest will inspire other people to
find peace despite their own chaotic upbringings and
perhaps bring about a few mother and child reunions.
Wade is the author of “Letters from the Ashes” and
Ashes Forged into Manhood.” Reach him at 225) 224-8697;

8. ==> How the Catholic Church Got Away with Child
Abuse

9. ==> Why Travelling the World is Cheaper Than Staying
Home

Ask people why they don’t travel and many will say they
can’t afford it. But internationally acclaimed travel
expert Chris Herrmann begs to differ. In fact, he makes
the seemingly outrageous claim that it is cheaper to
travel the world than to stay home! Invite him on air
to explain why this is so, as well as which countries
are veritable bargains. He’ll also share some of the
adventures he had when he backpacked around the world
at age 62 and how he is currently traveling across
North America in a luxury RV for $20 a day. Possessed
with a lovely Australian accent, this media-savvy guest
skewers other reasons people give for avoiding travel
(i.e. it’s too dangerous, I’m too young or too old; I
don’t have the time to plan, etc.). Chris is the author
of “The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel.” He hopes his
story will inspire others to challenge themselves.
Chris has appeared on TV, radio, and in print media
across Australia. Reach him at (215) 883-4319;

10. ==> Former Agent Reveals Behind-the-Scenes IRS
Chaos

April 15 has come and gone, but millions of Americans
are still angry because of the complicated, stressful
taxation they must navigate. What most taxpayers don’t
realize: The feared IRS is actually a hotbed of
incompetence and disorder that hurts you. So says
former IRS agent and tax expert Richard Green who will
shock audiences by revealing how the Internal Revenue
Service is staffed year-round by slow-moving staff
using antiquated technology. As your guest, Green will
answer questions like: What types of IRS
miscommunication and lack of cooperation happen? How do
taxpayers suffer because of such poor service? Are
decisions for audits fair? Only someone like Green,
who’s seen it firsthand, can blow the whistle on the
chaotic IRS. Richard Green has authored “Agents of
Deceit.” Contact him at (909) 570-1509;
rgreen@rtirguests.com.

11. ==> Been-There Psychotherapist: How to Live Without
Anxiety

Audiences listen intently when psychotherapist Elke
Scholz talks about managing and reducing anxiety for
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. Invite Elke on-air to explore
questions like these: 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? Elke Scholz’ top-selling books including “Loving
Your Life” and “Anxiety Warrior” volumes 1 and 2.
Contact her at (705) 710-4315; escholz@rtirguests.com

12. ==> Want Happiness? Quit the Pity Party, Put on
Your Big Girl Panties and Deal with Your Life!

That’s the message from Katherine Webster. She’s blunt,
a straight-shooter and a real example of someone who’s
walked the walk. Webster pulled herself up by her
bootstraps from a bad situation out of necessity. She’s
now on a mission to share what she learned to get
others off their butts to do the same. The author of
“Becoming Madam Widow” is a spit-fire who will give you
a blockbuster of a show. She’ll take all the whiners to
task and provide real short and long-termed strategies
to make lasting change in their lives. She’ll also
inspire listeners with her story while she gets them to
stop wallowing in their misery, drowning in self-
sabotage and complaining about their situations. By the
time she’s done, they’ll know how to get out of the
dumpster and head down the path to an unexpected life
of contentment and happiness. Contact her at
KWebster@rtirguests.com or (416) 921-2084.

13. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

Do you realize you can empower yourself to reduce
physical discomfort, ease anxiety and even slow (or
reverse) the progression of disease? How does illness
send you messages about your body, that you need to
know for longer, healthier life? When working with your
doctors, what should you know about self-healing?
What’s the link between disease and emotions? Explore
the answers when you interview physician and speaker
Dr. Nelie Johnson, initiator of the Forum “It’s Time to
Heal.” Dr. Johnson offers an integrative approach to
treating illness and will discuss what’s been missing
in health care (traditional Western medicine AND
alternative methods) and how patients are best served
when they become an acknowledged part of the health
team. Her upcoming book is “The Healing Message of
Illness.” Contact Dr. Nelie Johnson at (604) 334-3853;
njohnson@rtirguests.com

14. ==> The One Trait That Can Failure-Proof Your Life

The most extraordinary people, including Albert
Einstein, DaVinci, Mozart and Steve Jobs, had one
common trait that was the secret to their success:
Intuition. “But this revolutionary inner power is not
just for the elite few; it is the birthright of each
and every one of us,” says Kim Chestney. “It is our
secret ‘Inner Creator’ that makes the difference
between the good and the great, the smart and the wise,
and the ordinary and the extraordinary life.” Einstein
said: “The only real valuable thing is Intuition.” Kim
will illustrate how to tap into this innate trait, with
life-changing results. She 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
launching now. Contact her at KChestney@rtirguests.com;
(412) 214-9502.

15. ==> 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 award-
winning 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.

16. ==> Are You a Stressed Mess? This M.D. Has the Cure

Stress really can kill you. According to Steven M.
Hall, M.D., “Fifty percent of the U.S. population is
experiencing one or more stress-related diseases. What
society is doing to mitigate the adverse health effects
of stress isn’t working.” Dr. Steven has discovered a
solution to enable us to become impervious to the
stressors in our lives. And it does not involve
repressing any emotions; quite the opposite. His online
class Taming the Bear: Taking the Bite Out of Stress is
having phenomenal success in people’s lives, and he can
share how to get off of the vicious stress cycle, for
good. Dr. Steven has been practicing family medicine
since 1985. He is the author of “The 7 Tools of
Healing: Unlock Your Inner Wisdom and Live the Life
Your Soul Desires.” Contact Dr. Steven Hall at
shall@rtirguests.com; (425) 531-3684.

17. ==> Is It Time to Turn Off Your Electronics?

Texting and social media can help you to stay
connected, yet at the same time, are they ruining your
relationships with your family members? Invite author
and award-winning screenwriter, TV/film producer, and
journalist Maryann Ridini Spencer to share her tips on
how to cut back on using electronics and start living
in the moment and enjoying life more. Ask her: How can
you break your addiction to electronics? How can you
stay connected to friends and family without relying on
social media? Maryann’s novel “Lady in the Window”
examines how to fully experience the richness of life.

18. ==> 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

19. ==> Famed US Architect on Building Vatican Chapel

Pittsburgh architect Louis D. Astorino was the
architect for Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, the
Pirate’s PNC Park, the restoration of Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Fallingwater, and was instrumental in the
downtown display of the Pittsburgh Crèche. He is also
the only American architect to design a building in the
Vatican. His design of the Chapel of the Holy Spirit,
where the Pope celebrates a daily Mass, is also the
subject of a documentary by WQED. His book “A Pencil in
God’s Hands” is an intimate look at the design. Invite
Astorino to discuss his role in Pittsburgh’s
architecture and his engaging and uplifting story of
faith in design. Reach Louis Astorino at (412) 551-3101

1. ==> It’s a Boy! Naming the New Prince

What’s in a name? Especially a royal name? Invite B.P.
Greycastle to discuss the best—and worst—names for Baby
Sussex, and why names are so important. Greycastle will
reveal how your color-coded name determines your
personality traits and talents as they correlate to
your seven energy centers: spiritual, intellectual,
vocal, physical, control, emotional and sexual. “The
richest people have certain color types,” he explains.
“Ninety percent of them are purple spiritual center
people. William Gates is one example.” He’ll illustrate
on-air using a vast array of lists, facts and figures
how the most famous and successful people in
practically every career field owe their success to
their names, with astonishing accuracy. B.P. Greycastle

Royals

3. ==> Surge in Anti-Semitic Attacks Causing Sense of
Emergency

According to a new report, more Jews were killed in
anti-Semitic violence around the world in 2018 than
during any other year in decades. The result has been a
“sense of emergency” among Jews in many countries,
resulting from concerns over both their security and
their “place” in society. The report by the Kantor
Center at Tel Aviv University noted that most of the
dramatic increase in deaths was the result of a single
event: October’s mass shooting at Pittsburgh’s Tree of
Life Synagogue, which left 11 worshipers dead. For some
interesting perspectives, interview Ellen Korman Mains,
who can talk about the rise in race-based nationalism
in the U.S. and abroad and the challenge of responding
to the alarming increase in hate crime without going
numb or responding with more hate, or panic. The
daughter of Holocaust survivors, Ellen teaches
meditation, leads workshops on Ancestral Healing, and
is the author of “Buried Rivers: A Spiritual Journey
into the Holocaust.” Reach her at (720) 292-4520;

4. ==> Mother’s Day without Mommy Guilt?

Tens of millions of working mothers say unremitting
mommy guilt is what keeps them up at night, impacts
their relationships with their kids and negatively
affects their job performance. Atara Malach,
psychotherapist, author and working mom of six for the
past 35 years, will explain the three most prevalent
forms of mommy guilt, and what working moms can do this
Mother’s Day and every day so they can enjoy raising
happy children while also investing in their careers.
Atara will explain how listeners can use—instead of
lose—their mommy guilt, why the myth of a work/life
balance creates even more stress for working mothers,
and how to create a plan for parenting success. Atara
Malach is the founder of the Parenting University and
the author of “A working Mother’s GPS: A Guide to
Parenting Success for the Modern Working Mom,” based on
her decades of professional experience and real-life
skills raising a large family while running a business.
A frequent keynote speaker and media guest, Atara loves
call-in radio. Contact her at (718) 252-2357;
atara@ataramalach.com

5. ==> Married to a Stepmom? Must-Hear Mother’s Day
Advice

Not surprisingly, Mother’s Day isn’t usually a
Stepmom’s favorite holiday. With all the love and
attention focused on mothers, Stepmoms often get lost
in the shuffle and can feel forgotten and
unappreciated. And for many, the only person there to
celebrate them is their husband! Cathryn Bond Doyle, a
Stepmom herself, says men can do a lot to help Stepmoms
enjoy the holiday—with or without kids involved (wink,
wink)! Invite Cathryn to share ways to make a
Stepmom’s Mother’s Day special. She’ll explain how to
negotiate the ‘Loyalty War,’ ways to show appreciation
for all your spouse does for your children, and how a
simple change in how you refer to your ex can reduce
stress. In 2000, Cathryn left banking and founded
Stepmoms on a Mission® to support, train and mentor
stepmothers looking for answers. Cathryn’s upbeat
conversational style, combined with a treasure trove of
Stepmom-tested suggestions, will energize listeners
whether they’re Stepmoms themselves or want to help the
Stepmoms they love. Cathryn’s new book is “Stepmoms on
a Mission.” Contact Cathryn Bond Doyle at (609)
206-2009 (NJ); cathryn@smoms.org

6. ==> What Women Really Want for Mother’s Day

Cards, breakfast in bed, flowers and candy are all very
nice. But, according to Adita Yrizarry-Lang, what busy
multitasking women really want for Mother’s Day is time
for themselves. Pointing out that most women put their
own needs on the back burner while taking care of
everyone else’s, Adita will lay out a plan that helps
women put aside their need for perfection and put their
own needs first. She’ll encourage women to put a smile
on their face every day by rediscovering what truly
makes them happy and building that into their lives
along with time to meditate, exercise and eat right. A
busy mother herself, Adita is a 30-year wellness
educator who has been quoted in Shape and Fitness. She
is the author of “SuperPowers.” Contact her at (305)

7. ==> How Mothers Can Save the 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 contends that if we want to
get serious about creating world peace mothers are the
answer! “Mothers by nature are nurturers… men by nature
create war,” says Pet. “Mothers 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. His EC initiative has been
endorsed by Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy and many others.

9. ==> God Will Heal the Pain of Childless Women

Mother’s Day is the day we honor the women who brought
us into the world and raised us. But it can also be a
painful reminder for those unable to conceive or who
have lost babies to miscarriage. Veronica Anusionwu
says it can be especially challenging for church-going
women who may feel forgotten by God as they sit through
services in which mothers are praised and honored.
Through her ministry, Veronica helps women overcome the
internal blocks and challenges that confront them in
their struggle to conceive. With the use of healing
prayers, she’s helped numerous families overcome
infertility. Invite her on your show and learn how
women can get pregnant using God’s Word and how to

considered medically impossible. Veronica has written
more than 30 books on fertility, healing, childbirth
and relationships including her latest, “God Has Not
Forgotten You: Hope for a Woman Struggling to Conceive”

13. ==> Exposing TV News’ Bad Practices

Before Nita Wiggins began teaching journalism in Paris
ten years ago, she spent 21 years as a full-time news
reporter and sportscaster working for ABC, CBS, NBC,
and Fox network affiliates in such cities as Dallas,
Seattle, and Memphis. As a woman of color, Wiggins
found that her dream of covering professional sports
came with a high price—stress and a raft of
institutionalized practices she found unacceptable. At
a time when the industry is under heightened scrutiny,
invite Wiggins on your show to take the television
broadcasting industry to task over bias, nepotism,
suppressing political viewpoints, and more. She’ll
discuss the changing landscapes of politics, race, and
women’s employment in the news business and share

14. ==> How Cell Phones Cause Your Kids Physical Pain

Many health professionals believe today’s obsession
with cell phones, texting and social media is directly
responsible for a rise in youth anxiety, suicide and
kids being medicated. The anxiety created also causes
kids to feel physical pain. Dr. David Hanscom will
explain the connection and give parents and caregivers
a wake-up call while offering real solutions to rid
kids of stress and anxiety. Hanscom, author of “Back in
Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will
take parents and doctors to task presenting research-
based evidence and information about the direct
connection between stress, anxiety and physical pain.
Listeners will learn how technology addiction affects
the brain with physical complications. He’ll also
explore how anxiety has led to drug abuse, youth
suicide, rising healthcare costs, gratuitous surgeries
and just plain bad-doctoring for kids and adults. Dr.
Hanscom has appeared on many talk shows including The
Dr. Oz Show. Contact him at dhanscom@rtirguests.com;

15. ==> The Shocking Truth Behind Prince’s Death

When pop artist Prince died from a drug overdose on
April 21, 2016, his legions of fans were shocked and
saddened. But they never really learned the truth about
how his death could have been prevented. Addiction
specialist Isaac Alexis M.D. can share how Prince,
Elvis, Michael Jackson and other icons who succumbed to
drug overdoses could have been saved. “With Prince, his
death could have been prevented by restricting his
maximum daily dose,” Dr. Isaac says. “He could have
used more physical therapy and occupational therapy
alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to talk out what
current issues were in his environment that ‘triggered’
his drug use.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in
trauma surgery at Cornell University at New York
Hospital of Queens and spent many years working for the
criminal justice system. He also served as medical
director at the Department of Justice. He is the author
of the book “Life and Death behind the Brick and Razor-
Code Red Diamond” and the upcoming “The Seductive Pink
Crystal.” Contact Isaac at IAlexis@rtirguests.com;

the oldest activists around! And now he is encouraging
others to take up the mantle by developing a system to
empower local grassroots activists in each state to
radically change our health care delivery system. He’ll

19. ==> 10 Small Things You Can Do to Save the Planet

Environmentalists focus on saving the planet on a
broad, global level. However, the small things we all
do daily have the greatest impact. “We all tend to
waste food and other resources,” says author and
environmental engineer Yasmin Davar. “For example, we
throw out one third of the food we buy. We buy hardwood
furniture that has been illegally logged from Cambodian
national parks. We need to really examine our
consumerism.” Yasmin can discuss small but powerful
ways we can change our daily habits that can have a
dramatically positive impact on the world as whole. In
addition to being an environmental engineer, Yasmin
holds a Master of International Studies degree in Peace
and Conflict Resolution and is the author of the book
“Our Peaceful Planet: Healing Ourselves and the World
for a Sustainable Future.” Contact her at Yasmin at

20. ==> Revelations of an Undertaker’s Daughter

Most people don’t like to talk or even think about
death. But while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
home where her dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark

fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
dead people, and the messages I received from them,”

1. ==> On and in Venezuela

On Venezuela Sanctions:
According to a new report from the Center for Economic
and Policy Research, economic sanctions implemented by
the Trump administration since August 2017 have caused
tens of thousands of deaths and are rapidly worsening
the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. Economist Mark
Weisbrot says, “American sanctions are deliberately
aiming to wreck Venezuela’s economy and thereby lead to
regime change. It’s a fruitless, heartless, illegal,
and failed policy, causing grave harm to the Venezuelan
people.” The report is co-authored by noted economists
Mark Weisbrot and Jeffrey Sachs. Contact Dan Beeton at
beeton@cepr.net; @ceprdc

In Venezuela Now:
Teri Mattson is program manager with the Intrepid News
Fund and is currently in Venezuela. She says, “The
people here are amazingly calm and incredibly resilient
despite the sanctions and constant threat of military
intervention. … The U.S. does not seem to understand
the pulse of the street nor does it understand the
history of the Venezuelan military.” Contact her at
teri@intrepidnewsfund.org

Conviction’

A renowned Brooklyn, NY, homicide prosecutor, Anna-
Sigga Nicolazzi is the host of Investigation

Just in time for this summer’s 50th anniversary of the
Apollo 11th moon landing, NASA expert and space
historian Rod Pyle offers an exciting behind-the-scenes
look at America’s journey to the Moon—from the space
race to the landing on the Sea of Tranquility to
splashdown on Earth and the aftermath. Vice President
Mike Pence recently promised the National Space Council
that Americans will return to the moon by 2024. Pyle
can also discuss the likelihood of that and share a
glimpse at the next few decades of spaceflight and
NASA’s long-term plans for exploration, utilization,
and settlement. 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, including the

motherhood and women’s desires to be the best mother
they can be. Dr. de Marneffe will shed new light on old

who work and mother who are at home – digging deep into
the cultural, political, and personal meaning of the
desire to have and care for children. Dr. de Marneffe

5. ==> What Moms Need Most: Really Good Laughs

6. ==> What Women Really Want for Mother’s Day

7. ==> How to Survive Having a Crazy Mom

Not everyone lives with June Cleaver. In fact, few moms
live up to that artificial standard. What happens when
Mom is the polar opposite? You have a few choices –
ignore her, walk away, deal with it or let yourself get
as crazy as she is. Sometimes you do them all. Annie
Evans knows. She’s been there and done that. She will
give you a show to remember as she shares her
experience – exploring the mother/daughter relationship
at its very core. Evans will help audiences learn how
to recover from non-existent parenting and broken
trust. She’ll offer ways to overcome the effects, and
even PTSD, that a mother’s mental illness leaves
behind. Contact her at aevans@rtirguests.com or (310)
621-0456.

8. ==> Do Happy Mothers Have Happy Kids?

As we prepare to celebrate motherhood on May 12, the
spotlight is on Mom, and Emily Slingluff says it’s
important to understand how important a happy mother is
to having happy children. Invite her to talk about the
importance of raising happy children, and how
mothers—and fathers—can change the equation. She says,
“The formative years of life are called formative for a
reason. And the main influence in those first years is
the parent.” Slingluff says parents have more influence
than anyone in raising a kinder, happier generation.
She’ll discuss clear and easy ways to help kids be
happy with life. Emily Slingluff is the author of
several parenting books including “Peace” and
“Parenting without Punishment.” Contact her at (757)

9. ==> Sandwiched Boomers Feel the Squeeze: Expert
Shares Easy Financial Fix

With the state of health care today many people live in
fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
their savings and create a financial maelstrom their
family would never recover from. Did you know that if
you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of your death
benefits in cash? David Kottler, also known as the
Insurance Doctor ™, will explain how selling off that
life insurance policy you or your loved one doesn’t
need any more can generate the cash to pay hospital
bills… get out of debt… or even make a cash gift to the
non-profit of their choice! How is this possible? Most
people don’t know the little-known secret that when you
don’t need your policy any longer you can auction it
off! Find out how! 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 at (216) 532-1221;
DKottler@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Secrets to Successful House Flipping

Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy, but according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works. “They show the
befores and afters and how much they paid and sold it
for,” he says. “But they don’t tell you what they paid
the bank in loan costs, all the ‘un-billed’ time
involved, or about the construction deals they get
because they have a TV show.” Dan is a long-time
property renovator who can tell your audiences how to
get the most bang for their buck by improving rental
properties, and other money-making tips. He is the
author of “The Effective Landlord: How Owners and
Property Managers Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise
Rents, and Boost Their Bottom Line in Any Market.”

11. ==> 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 roommates and best friends with
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 wrote 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;
(310) 997-4947

12. ==> Do a Show About Sexism in Hollywood

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, founder of Sparklesoup Inc., and an
author who has sold over 5.5 million books. Contact
Kailin at KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121.

13. ==> Why Domestic Violence is Everyone’s
Responsibility

According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; it
tears at the very fabric of entire communities.”
Lindsley will discuss how domestic violence impacts a
company’s bottom line due to lost productivity, causes
long-term health problems in victims, spills over to
schools and workplaces, and involves innumerable police
man hours and why a multi-pronged approach is needed.
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®. Contact Curt at
clindsley@rtirguests.com; (256) 213-1092

14. ==> How Embarrassing: Wardrobe Malfunctions at Work

When a celebrity has a wardrobe malfunction it makes
headlines. When one happens to you it may not make the
news, but that doesn’t mean it won’t impact your
career. Bring Wall Street executive, business
consultant and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-
check) on your show to talk about her own wardrobe
malfunction as well as how to handle the split skirts,
popped buttons, broken heals and other accidents that
can play havoc with anyone’s image. Tamara can also
dish on the most common fashion blunders seen around
the office that can also wreck your image. She is the
author of “Lose the Gum: A Survival Guide for Women on
Wall Street, Main Street and Every Street in Between.”

TLashchyk@rtirguests.com

15. ==> Surprise! Nightmares Are Good for You

Most people try to forget their bedtime nightmares as
quickly as possible. But, according to Nora Truscello,
a 30-year psychic and dream expert, that’s a mistake
because “nine out of 10 nightmares are offering you a
positive message.” Interview Nora to learn what that
message might be as well as to better understand any
dream you may have had. She can also share the best way
is to remember your dreams and ways all of us can use
intuition. This summer, Nora will be giving a talk on
dreams at Lily Dale Assembly in New York, which says it
is the world’s largest center for the science,
philosophy and religion of spiritualism. Reach Nora at

16. ==> Counselor Reveals the Truth About Trump
Marriage

Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
disgraceful divorces and Pastor and marriage counselor
Rev. George Sukhdeo believes his marriage to Melania is
also doomed. “Trump’s marriage is not going to end
well; his wife will most likely leave him,” he says.
“He doesn’t have the vaguest concept of marriage. He
doesn’t treat women with love and respect, or value
them for who they are.” Rev. George has been married to
his wife, Shirley, for 46 years and has counseled 500
troubled couples, with an 85 percent success rate. He
is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies
of Canada and the author of the “Preparing for and
Fostering Harmony in Marriage.” Contact him at
GSukhdeo@rtirguests.com or (647) 691-6042.

17. ==> The Science of Bringing More Abundance into
Your Life

According to scientist David. L. Peters, “Abundance is
not more money or things. Abundance is a life of joy
and happiness, under all conditions that life sends
you, the good and 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
conditions.” He has achieved great prominence in his
career as an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised seven
great kids and has enjoyed a loving marriage for 57
years. He is the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and
Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies
Within.” Contact him at David at

18. ==> This Guest Reveals How to Be as Smart as
Einstein

The most extraordinary people like Albert Einstein,
DaVinci, Mozart and Steve Jobs had one common trait
that was the secret to their success: Intuition. “But
this revolutionary inner power is not just for the
elite few; it is the birthright of each and every one
of us,” says Kim Chestney. “It is our secret ‘Inner
Creator’ that makes the difference between the good and
the great, the smart and the wise, and the ordinary and
the extraordinary life.” Einstein said: “The only real
valuable thing is intuition.” Kim will illustrate how
to tap into this innate trait, with life-changing
results. An international best-selling author and
Intuition expert, Kim founded the CREATE! Festival in
Pittsburgh, Pa. Her new global online Intuition school,
IntuitionLab is launching now. Contact her at
KChestney@rtirguests.com; (412) 214-9502.

19. ==> Why the Peace Plan Will Fail & How End-Times
Begin

As the Trump administration and Jared Kushner put the
finishing touches on their peace plan, Richard Ruhling,
M.D., offers reasons why the plan will fail, leading to
impending end-times from a vision that Gabriel said is
“at the time of the end.” Historians say the Medes and
Persians in Daniel 8:20 were conquered by Alexander,
but those areas are now Iraq and Iran and this vision
for “time of the end” is half fulfilled. Dr. Ruhling’s
latest book is “9”-11: How 9-11 Links in Christ’s Last
Parables Show End-Times Begin This Spring.” The 9-11
links are based on a provision in Numbers 9:10,11 for
Passover (time of judgment) a month later–the week
after the peace plan. The Bible says, “When they say
‘peace and safety,’ sudden destruction” is coming. It
was that way with Japan and Pearl Harbor. Dr. Ruhling
taught health science at Loma Linda University. He will
provide a free copy of his book to interviewers. He’s
been on dozens of talk shows focusing on current events
and Bible prophecy. Contact him at (928) 582-8664;

20. ==> Helping People (Of All Ages) Keep the Bed Dry

Why do so many kids avoid camping and sleep-overs away
from home? What deeply embarrasses adolescents and even
older people during vacations, retreats, field trips
and other overnight travels? What should they know
about keeping the bed dry every night? World Bedwetting
Day is May 21. Invite acclaimed pediatrician Jeff
Lazarus, M.D., to answer those and other questions
like: How does hypnosis work to help bedwetters? What
should parents, teachers, coaches and health
professionals know? Why do so many doctors avoid the
issue? Do adult diapers only make things worse? Dr.
Lazarus created “Keeping the Bed Dry,” a comprehensive
home video. Contact him at (216) 800-0498;

1. ==> Charleston Pastor on Forgiving Church Shooter

This weekend’s synagogue shooting brings to mind other
deadly attacks on houses of worship. On June 17th,
2015, a 21-year old white supremacist walked into
Emmanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina
and sat through a 45-minute prayer meeting. When those
in attendance closed their eyes in prayer, he shot them
and took nine innocent African-American lives. The
shooter claimed he had no regrets and hadn’t shed a
tear. Interview Reverend Anthony Thompson, whose wife
Myra was one of the victims, about how he could stand
in a courtroom just hours later and publicly forgive
the unrepentant killer. Rev. Thompson can discuss the
power of forgiveness in our personal lives, and what it
can do for a community or nation. He’ll discuss how to
love those that hate you, why forgiving doesn’t mean
forgetting, and the difference between forgiving
publicly and privately. Reverend Anthony Thompson is
the author of “Called to Forgive.’ Contact Jason Jones
at jason@jonesliterary.com

2. ==> Baseball Digest Celebrates 30th Anniversary of
Iconic Baseball Movies

We know Americans love baseball, but they love movies
about baseball almost as much as the game itself! The
new issue of Baseball Digest features two iconic

3. ==> Why Are We Still Talking about Vaccines?

The U.S. is in the middle of the worst outbreak of
measles since the disease was eradicated from the
country in 2000. Many doctors have never seen a case of
measles and Deane Waldman, MD, says that’s because of
mass vaccination programs and herd immunity. Dr.
Waldman says the measles outbreak is a not-so-subtle
reminder of how important vaccination is. “Dangerous
pathogens like polio, smallpox, meningococcus, etc.
aren’t dead and gone. They’re just suppressed. They’re
still out there in the environment. If we let up our
guard, we could again see children paralyzed by polio
or babies who are blind and deaf, with defects in both
brain and heart secondary to German measles (rubella).
I’ve seen a patient in an iron lung and don’t ever want
to again!” Deane Waldman, MD MBA, is a board-certified
pediatrician, a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Texas
Public Policy Foundation, and the author of “Curing the
Cancer in U.S. Healthcare.” Contact him at (505)

4. ==> We Love Moms, Why Don’t They Love Themselves?

5. ==> Even Stepmoms Deserve a Happy Mother’s Day

Stepmoms have often been portrayed as home-wreckers and
child-haters in movies and TV but most women who take
on this impossible-to-prepare-for role just want to
love their partner’s children. Sadly, when Mother’s Day
rolls around they’re often forgotten or go
unappreciated and unless they have their own kids, the
only one left to celebrate them is their husband.
Cathryn Bond Doyle, a Stepmom herself, can suggest ways
to help you—or the Stepmom you love—feel valued and
acknowledged this Mother’s Day. She’ll share practical
advice about Mother’s Day and talk about using
creativity to have a great holiday. In 2000, Cathryn
left banking and founded Stepmoms on a Mission® to
support, train and mentor stepmothers looking for
answers. Cathryn’s upbeat conversational style,
combined with a treasure trove of Stepmom-tested
suggestions, will energize listeners whether they’re
Stepmoms themselves or want to help the Stepmoms they
love. Cathryn’s new book is “Stepmoms on a Mission.”

6. ==> Do a Show on Forgiveness for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is meant to be a day to celebrate moms who
loved and nurtured us. However, not all of us had
mothers who fit that description. If you had a mother
who made you feel worthless every day of your life
beginning as a young child could you forgive her? Wade
Meadows did. In fact, he was her caregiver when she was
dying. Wade will reveal how he was able to let go of
all the traumatic things his mother put him through in
order to forgive her and emotionally free himself. This
insightful upbeat guest will inspire other people to
find peace despite their own chaotic upbringings and
perhaps bring about a few mother and child reunions.

7. ==> How Foreign Aid Is Hurting Africa

America sends millions in taxpayer dollars around the
world to help those in need, but does the money really
end up helping the intended recipients? Author,
speaker, and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni is
president of Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch, Inc.
and says that extreme corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
means that too many US taxpayer dollars end up lining
the pockets of corrupt officials instead of helping
poor families. His new book, “Rescue Thyself: Change in
Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within,” reveals what
many in the West don’t understand about the root causes
of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps
to improve the situation. Ask him: What do you consider
the negative unintended consequences of foreign aid?
Can America do anything to ensure the sustainability of
projects undertaken with foreign aid funds? Contact

8. ==> Former Agent Reveals Behind-the-Scenes IRS Chaos

April 15th has come and gone, but millions of Americans
are still angry because of the complicated, stressful
taxation they must navigate. What most taxpayers don’t
realize: The feared IRS is actually a hotbed of
incompetence and disorder that hurts you. So says
former IRS agent and tax expert Richard Green who will
shock audiences by revealing how the Internal Revenue
Service is staffed year-round by slow-moving staff
using antiquated technology. As your guest, Green will

9. ==> Why the Beatles Will Live Forever

Ringo and Paul are still touring and Paul has had
nearly 40 million hits and counting on “Carpool
Karaoke.” Perhaps even more remarkable is the Beatles’
“White Album” made it into the Billboard Top 10 – 50
years after its release! This timeless group remains a
favorite of everyone from baby boomers to millennials.
All of this is not news to Susan Shumsky, who regularly

Back,” “Revolution,” “Across the Universe,” “My Sweet
Lord,” “Mother Nature’s Son,” “Blackbird,” “Why Don’t
We Do it in the Road,” “Dehra Dun,” “Back in the USSR,”
“Fool on the Hill,” and more. Also, you’ll discover how

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the “Don Quixote”
of Health Care Reform. At 85, he is probably one of the
oldest activists around. For decades he’s been hounding
all five Federal Agencies created to solve the health
care crisis in this country. Even with those agencies,
our health care system is still a mess AND medical
errors leading to deaths in hospitals continues to
rise. Dr. Williams has developed a system to empower
local grassroots activists in each state to radically
change our health care delivery system. He’ll tell your
audience why each state is responsible for our nation’s
healthcare delivery system and how to organize state
wide grassroots activists that will challenge the
current system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an

11. ==> Is Your House Clean but Toxic?

Your house may be ‘clean’ but it could still be making
you and your pets sick. Eco-interior designer Charisse
Marei says there are an alarming number of harmful,
chemical-laden cleaning products in our linen closets,
basements, kitchens and bathrooms, all of which combine
to create indoor air that is five times more polluted
than air found outside. “It’s distressing to realize
each spritz and squeeze of a bottle contributes to poor
indoor air quality. It doesn’t stop there. As you
breathe in a plethora of fine mist particulates, it
negatively affects well-being—clarity, health, energy,
and oh, so much more.” Marei (pronounced Moray) will
share tips, recipes, lists and other resources to make
listeners homes what they should be: a safe place to
live and a place of respite for their families. Marei

15. ==> What’s Behind the Rise in Boomer Suicides?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, suicide rates for those aged 45 to 64 have
increased dramatically in recent times. Sandra
Matheson, a boomer herself, believes this has to do
with ongoing societal changes. “People used to remain
in the same careers for life,” she says. “Now, many
companies think that they are paying older workers too
much, resulting in lay-offs of older employees. In
addition, they are often being supervised by younger
people. It is harder for older employees to compete.
It’s pretty frightening.” The good news is, it’s never
too late to reinvent yourself and live your best life
ever. Sandra experienced a painful midlife divorce,
retirement from her veterinary career due to health
factors and financial hardship to find joy and success
as a farmer and rancher. And she can show you how you
can, too. Sandra is the author of the upcoming book
“Thrive After 40 ? How to Seize Life and Grow Your
Dreams!” at (360) 325-4221; smatheson@rtirguests.com

16. ==> 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 first-hand how important it is to take
control of your health and your body. She’ll share
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

17. ==> Best-Kept Secrets of Successful Teenagers

Teenagers are often known for being moody or silly, and
seemingly lost among the worry and angst of their
“almost an adult” years. But what about those teens who
are happy, hopeful, well-adjusted, and making confident
progress academically and in their everyday lives? What
do they know that could help ALL young people? Explore
this with acclaimed author Paul Bernabei, whose many
books of the Top 20 series include “TOP 20 Teens.”
He’ll reveal how today’s most successful teens think
smarter and foster positive beliefs while learning from
their mistakes. Bernabei will also talk about social-
emotional learning and how this benefits students in
personal and school life. Appreciative audiences (teens
themselves and their mentors/parents/teachers) will
also hear about must-know lifelong secrets for “people-
smart” communication, conflict resolution,
demonstrating kindness, specializing in effective
responses and much more. Contact Bernabei at (651)

18. ==> Hungry … Homeless … and in College

When you think of homelessness and hunger, images of
college students rarely come to mind. But the reality
is that 36 percent of university students and 46
percent of community college students have poor housing
situations. Worse still, 12 percent of community
college students and 9 percent of university students
are actually homeless. Glen Dunzweiler, an advocate for
the homeless, knows that some folks just don’t want to
talk about the homeless problem. It isn’t pretty but it
is pretty important. Interview Glen to learn what you
don’t know about homelessness in America and how the
education we provide youngsters is actually making the
problem worse. Glen is a filmmaker, producer, director,
public speaker and former college professor whose
documentary, “yHomeless,” can be seen on Amazon Prime.

19. ==> What Happens When Kids Make Up their Own
Homework?

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 is currently working on
his new book “How to Create a Perfect School” (June
2019), foreword by Jack Canfield. He’s been an educator
and administrator both in public schools and
universities. Contact Lee Jenkins at (484) 306-8784;

whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making… or “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
she does it every day at work for her customers. So,
when she was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even
scarier treatment option, she decided (after freaking
out) to apply what she does at work to help her make
some important decisions. Terrie will share her
powerful story with your audience and explain how her
three-step decision making process makes any decision
easier to make. Terrie Novak works in software
engineering as a systems analyst. Her unique framework
for “choice-making” can be applied to decisions of any
kind. Her upcoming book, “The Decision Doctor” outlines

1. ==> Trump Transition Staffer: It’s Time for GOP to
Dump Trump!

J.W. Verret was a Trump transition staffer. He’s worked
on every Republican presidential transition team for
the past 10 years and recently served as counsel to the
Republican-led House Financial Services Committee. But
he says the Mueller report was his tipping point and
now it’s now time for Republicans to impeach Donald
Trump. He writes in the Atlantic: “Politics is a team
sport, and if you actively work within a political
party, there is some expectation that you will follow
orders and rally behind the leader, even when you
disagree. There is a point, though, at which that
expectation turns from a mix of loyalty and pragmatism
into something more sinister, a blind devotion that
serves to enable criminal conduct.” And adds,
“Republicans who stand up to Trump today may face some
friendly fire. Today’s Republican electorate seems
spellbound by the sound bites of Twitter and cable
news, for which Trump is a born wizard. Yet, in time,
we can help rebuild the Republican Party, enabling it
to rise from the ashes of the post-Trump apocalypse
into a party with renewed commitment to principles of
liberty, opportunity, and the rule of law.” J.W. Verret
is professor of law at George Mason University Antonin
Scalia Law School. Contact him at (703) 993-8038;
jverret@gmu.edu or J.W.Verret@VeritasAnalyticsLLC.com

2. ==> Should Felons Be Allowed to Vote?

One of the issues currently being debated among
Presidential hopefuls is the issue of allowing felons
the right to vote. Legal expert Andrew Novak believes
felons should give up some rights, but voting isn’t one
of them. He says it’s really just a ploy to preserve
white rural power and prison gerrymandering. “Many
prisoners are racial minorities or people who live in
urban areas, which means these places lose voting
population, while more conservative areas gain
nonvoting population.” Many states are in the process
of revising their laws to allow ex-prisoners to vote,
voting by current prisoners only exists in Maine,
Puerto Rico, and Vermont. Novack says the trend across
the developed world is to allow at least some prisoners
to vote. “We should not assume that prisoners are less
knowledgeable about politics than those outside of
prison—that’s a pretty low bar, after all. Isolating
prisoners from the political process during and after
their incarceration further stigmatizes and isolates
them, and that can encourage reoffending.” A lawyer by
training, Andrew Novak teaches courses related to
international criminal justice and human rights. He was
previously an adjunct professor of law at American
University. Contact him at anovak2@gmu.edu or (703)

3. ==> Harry and Meghan, Africa Doesn’t Want You

There are reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
may be considering a move to Africa sometime after the
birth of their child. Some says Meghan wants to explore
her and her child’s African roots but Kehinde Andrews
says, “If Harry and Meghan do make the move, they will
not be representing modern multiracial couples
everywhere, but the colonial institution that is the
British monarchy.” Andrews says South Africa would be
the most fitting destination of all their options.
“With its history of apartheid and steep racial
divisions, the country reflects much of what is wrong
with post-colonial Africa. More than half the black
population live below the poverty line, while the same
can be said for the less than 1% of whites. Harry and
Meghan living in a gated community, surrounded by the
largely white elite and locked away from extreme
poverty, would be the most appropriate symbol of royal
privilege in the 21st century.” Kehinde Andrews is an
associate professor in sociology at Birmingham City
University and the author of “Back to Black: Retelling
Black Radicalism for the 21st Century.” Contact him at
Kehinde.andrews@bcu.ac.uk

4. ==> How to Cope with a Bridezilla/Groomzilla

It’s supposed to be a wonderful celebration of love,
but weddings can also bring out the worst in people,
including the bride and groom! It’s the countdown to
wedding season and it seems Bridezillas and Groomzillas
are everywhere. How does this happen? Invite
psychologist Dr. John Huber to explain the psychology
behind Bridezilla behavior and signs that you may have
succumbed to the condition yourself. He’ll also tell
listeners how to cope with someone who’s acting like a
tyrant. “The first thing a person should realize is
that your spouse, friend, family member who is acting
like a Bridezilla is not mentally healthy right now.
Severe stress, anxiety, and peer pressure can all take
a taxing toll on a person’s mindset.” Dr. Huber says
some Bridezillas have control issues, some have over-
sized egos and others have learned to use bad behavior
to get what they want. The good news is that the
‘condition’ is usually temporary. 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;

9. ==> M.D. Reveals Shocking Truth Behind Prince’s
Death

When pop artist Prince died from a drug overdose on
April 21, 2016, his legions of fans were shocked and
saddened. But they never really learned the truth about
how his death could have been prevented. Addiction
specialist Isaac Alexis, M.D., can share how Prince,
Elvis, Michael Jackson and other icons who succumbed to
drug overdoses could have been saved. “With Prince, his
death could have been prevented by restricting his
maximum daily dose,” Dr. Isaac says. “He could have
used more physical therapy and occupational therapy
alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to talk out what
current issues were in his environment that ‘triggered’
his drug use.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in
trauma surgery at Cornell University at New York
Hospital of Queens and spent many years working for the
criminal justice system. He served as medical director
at the Department of Justice as well as director of
infection control and chair of the quality improvement
medical committee. He is the author of “Life and Death
behind the Brick and Razor-Code Red Diamond” and the
upcoming “The Seductive Pink Crystal.” Contact him at

10. ==> Why are Women 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 Donald Pet,
M.D., a psychiatrist who believes if we want to get
serious about creating world peace women are the
answer! “Women by nature are nurturers, men by nature
create war,” says Dr. 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 that
offers free college level courses on how to develop a
“new way of thinking” that promotes happiness, love and
peace. His EC initiative has been endorsed by Jack
Canfield, Brian Tracy and many others. Contact Dr.
Donald Pet at (860) 253-2691; DPet@rtirguests.com

11. ==> Surgeon: Why Docs Push Surgery & Drugs that
Don’t Work

Surgeries, opioid prescriptions, a plethora of
commercial products and snake oil remedies for back
pain are flooding the market. Noted spine surgeon David
Hanscom, M.D., will explain why they don’t work and can
actually increase back pain. He’ll disclose the hidden
agenda of doctors and drug manufacturers promising
miracle cures and pushing pills, while revealing what
really causes back pain and how most people can cure it
themselves. Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A
Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will take the
medical and pharmaceutical professions to task,
presenting research-based evidence and information
about the direct connection between stress, anxiety and
physical pain. He’ll also explore how anxiety and
stress have led to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and
just plain bad-doctoring for kids and adults. Dr.
Hanscom has appeared on many programs including The Dr.
Oz Show. Contact him dhanscom@rtirguests.com; (206)

12. ==> Should Your Refrigerator Be Your Medicine
Cabinet?

Conventional wisdom tells us that when we’re sick, we
should seek out a medication to heal us. However, you
may find a better remedy in your refrigerator! Ed
Dodge, M.D. says veggies and fruits have proven healing
power and when tested side-by-side with expensive
medications, often get the best results. Which foods
help reduce inflammation and which ones can prevent
certain types of infection? Invite Dr. Dodge, author of
“Family: A Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in Africa and
the US,” to find out! Learn what antioxidants are and
how many types there are, some surprising healing
properties of foods, and whether veggies and fruits can
replace medication for some people. Contact Ed Dodge at
(484) 259-9887; EDodge@rtirguests.com

13. ==> Could You or Your Kid Have a Concussion and Not
Know it?

“Yes!” says Paul Wand, M.D., P.A., “And with spring
sports in, full swing many parents are wondering how to
keep their kids safe from sports injuries – mostly
concussion-related.” Many parents don’t even realize
that even some non-contact sports can cause concussions
in kids like swimming, basketball, volleyball,
wrestling, soccer, baseball, mixed martial arts and
even cheerleading! Wand, a neurologist who specializes
in concussions and how to diagnose and treat them more
quickly and more easily, will explain how your child,
or you for that matter, could have a concussion and
have no idea. How is this possible? Sometimes symptoms
relating to the concussion don’t show up until months
or years later. And for about 20% of the population who
actually go to the ER and undergo CT or MRI scans they
are told they are perfectly fine, when in reality they
aren’t. Dr. Paul Wand has been practicing medicine for
35 years. He’s the author of the upcoming “The
Concussion Cure: Three Proven Methods to Heal Your
Brain.” Contact him at (954) 743-5380;
PWand@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Why Are Office Affairs So Common?

Tamara Lashchyk will point out that 85 percent of all
affairs begin at the office. Tamara, whose last name is
pronounced Lash-check, will explore what makes these
affairs and romances so tempting, how hard it is to
conceal such relationships from coworkers and who is
likely to pay the price if things go bad. Tamara is a
Wall Street executive, business consultant and career
coach as well as the author of the bestselling book,
“Lose the Gum: A Survival Guide for Women on Wall
Street, Main Street and Every Street in Between.”

15. ==> Spot the Warning Signs of Dangerous Jealousy

It can be flattering if your partner seems slightly
jealous when others show interest in you, but when does
it cross the line and indicate a more serious threat?
Invite author, speaker, and personal transformation
expert Arnoux Goran to reveal the warning signs of
dangerous jealousy. He’ll explain the behaviors to
watch for, whether a jealous partner can change, and
when to know that it’s time to end the relationship.
Goran’s method to reprogram yourself was studied by the
University of California, Irvine, and proven to be 100%
effective. His new book is “The Answer: How to Change
Your Life and Make Your Dreams Come True.” Contact

16. ==> Why Sex and Life Are Better After Your Husband
is Gone

He may be dead and gone, kicked to the curb or just out
the door, but you are finally alone to explore your own
sexuality and discover who you really are. It’s a
fabulous exploration! That’s what your audience will
learn from Katherine Webster, author of “Becoming Madam
Widow.” Definitely not your typical “Woe is Me Widow,”
Katherine tackles the real nitty-gritty issues of being
a female alone at mid-life and does so with frankness
and humor. Whether listeners are alone by fate or
choice, they’ll gain a whole new perspective on their

17. ==> How to Know if You’re Addicted to Food

Did you know that over 100 million people are obese in
the US alone? Food addiction is rampant in this country
and you could be addicted to food and not even know it!
“Of the 10 most common addictions food is definitely
way up there,” says Michael McGee, M.D. – a
psychiatrist who blends science with spirituality to
give people back control over their lives. He says it’s
time for Americans to take a long hard look at their
love affair with food! Dr. McGee will show your
audience how to look at the science of habit and his
“Good now, Bad later” philosophy to help them figure
out if they are addicted to food (or anything else!)
and what they can do to gain more control over their
choices. He’ll share 3 easy ways to make your eating
habits healthy again – simply by making unhealthy food
not obvious, unattractive and difficult to obtain! Dr.
Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical
Schools. He’s the author of “The Joy of Recovery: The
New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction.” Contact

19. ==> Master the Power of Public Speaking

Eventually we’re all called upon to speak in front of a
group – whether it’s for career, school,
clients/customers, organization, place of worship or a
family gathering. How can one win BIG (rather than
dread) that public speaking? What does it take to have
the needed confidence, charisma and topnotch delivery?
Audiences will thank you for interviewing Jill Jaysen,
a communications and leadership development expert who
says we have all been mis-taught when it comes to
public speaking. She’ll explain why the same old
recycled, generic formulas and gimmicks like practicing
at a mirror, videotaping yourself and picturing the
audience in their underwear, actually create mediocre
speakers. Ask her: When does your speech really start?
How does NLP relate? What are the biggest speaking
turn-offs despite what experts say? Contact Jill Jaysen

20. ==> My Grandfather Was the Most Interesting Man in
the World

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 Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis… and
has many amazing true stories to relate, not only about
his grandfather but also the Astors and American
aristocratic life at that time. Ivan Obolensky is an
author and a true Renaissance man in his own right. He
is the author of “Eye of the Moon.” Contact Ivan
