1. ==> Military Trans Ban Takes Effect Friday

On Friday, the Trump administration’s military
transgender ban goes into effect and any transgender
service member who has not yet come out and received a
gender dysphoria diagnosis will have to hide or
suppress their gender identity if they don’t want to
risk discharge. “This horrific policy is even more
cruel than ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ because the Pentagon
explicitly told these service members it was finally
safe to come out — and now they are being targeted for
discrimination,” says Ashley Broadway-Mack, president
of the American Military Partner Association. “We
emphatically condemn this unconscionable transgender
military ban because it undermines military readiness,
destroys unit cohesion, betrays our service members and
is based on nothing more than blatant bigotry.” The
AMPA is the nation’s largest resource and support
network for the partners, spouses, families, and allies
of America’s LGBTQ service members and veterans.

ashley@militarypartners.org

2. ==> Psychologists Slam Trans Ban

The American Psychological Association believes the
transgender ban creates a problem for the military
where non currently exists. Noting that prior to the
adoption of this policy, the U.S. military had begun to
successfully integrate transgender personnel, APA
president Rosie Philips Davis, PhD, says, “As
psychologists, we oppose discrimination that has no
basis in science. We urge the administration to rethink
this harmful policy. Based on psychological science and
practice, there is no evidence of a relationship
between being transgender and one’s ability to serve in
the military.” The American Psychological Association,
in Washington, D.C., is the largest scientific and
professional organization representing psychology in
the United States. Contact Jim Sliwa at (301) 873-3129;

3. ==> The Kosher Baker Lightens Up Passover

Company’s coming for Passover and they’re expecting the
usual food! Invite Paula Shoyer aka the Kosher Baker to
share ways to lighten-up your favorite family Passover
recipes. Whether you or your guests are eating Keto,
Whole30 or are just trying to cut calories, Paula will
help makeover your holiday table with dishes everyone,
of every generation, will appreciate. She’ll also help
you lighten the burden of entertaining with great ideas
for room temperature dishes and freezer-friendly make-
ahead recipes. Paula Shoyer has appeared on numerous
radio and TV shows and even competed on Food TV. A
graduate of Ritz Escoffier Ecole de Gastronomie
Francaise, she is the author of several cookbooks
including The New Passover Menu” and “The Healthy
Jewish Kitchen.” Contact her at (301) 404-8998;
pshoyer@hotmail.com

4. ==> For Passover – Little-Known History of Israel

Invite journalist, award-winning author, and New York
Times op-ed contributor Matti Friedman to discuss the
founding of Israel and the forging of Israeli identity
through a little-known, real-life espionage story.
Friedman will chronicle the exploits of a ragtag unit
of Arabic-speaking Jewish spies, assembled by the
British during World War II, who went undercover in the
battle for Israeli statehood. A longtime resident of
Jerusalem himself, Friedman sets out to reframe the
story of Israel as a Middle Eastern one, freed from
Europe-centric clichés—to tell a new story about the
state’s creation that reflects a more complicated story
than the one Israel tells itself and the world. Matti
Friedman is the author of “Spies of No Country.”

(703) 646-5188.

5. ==> Moby Wants to Put You to Sleep

Musical artist Moby is out with a new album, but you
won’t hear it on any radio station or podcast. This new
release is a sleep music album that’s just launched on
the sleep app Calm. Moby recently revealed he’s had
chronic sleep problems most of his adult life and has
spent years searching for a cure. He says he created
the music for himself when he couldn’t find any similar
music anywhere. Invite Calm co-creator Michael Acton
Smith to discuss the latest, most creative and
sometimes downright weird ways people try to get shut-
eye and how sleep apps can help sufferers (and even
stubborn children) catch some zzzs naturally. Calm is
an app for meditation and mindfulness with guided
meditations to help manage anxiety, lower stress and
sleep better. Contact Todd Brabender at (785) 842-8909;

6. ==> Rid Your Bathroom of Toxins for Earth Day

If you want to do something for Earth Day, why not
start with your family bathroom? So suggests eco-
interior designer Charisse Marei (pronounced More-ay),
author of the upcoming book “Eco-Conscious Home,” part
of her One Room at a time series. As she will explain,
the typical bathroom has toxins everywhere—consider
your shampoo, toothpaste, shower and even your bath
towels and washcloths that may have been contaminated
by the wrong laundry detergent. Invite Charisse on-air
to explain how to substitute healthy products for
undesirable ones you may be using, save money while you
are doing it, and even conserve water! Plus, she says
you’ll notice the uplifting effect on your brain almost
immediately. Charisse is the founder of Healthy Living
with Charisse Marei. Contact her at (610) 505-8695;
cm@charissemarei.com

7. ==> Does a Merit-Based America Still Exist?

Is America becoming a place where it’s harder to be a
self-made man or self-made woman? The latest academic
scandal in which children of celebrities and the
powerful were even cheating their way into state
schools like USC gives proof of the challenges to fair
competition in academia, politics, and Hollywood. Who-
you-know and how-much-you-have is a worsening problem
in the criminal justice system, too. Former TV reporter
and anchor Nita Wiggins lays out the case for why
America is worse off by letting nepotism and other
inequalities rule the day. During her 21-year TV
career, Nita witnessed job advancements and plum
assignments NOT being given based on merit — from
Augusta to Seattle to Dallas. She now teaches
journalism in Paris, France. Her upcoming book is
“Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race, Sports, and
Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.” Contact her
at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

8. ==> We Must Do More to Help Homeless Vets

When America called, they answered, serving in such
places as Korean, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon,
the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Sadly, far too
many of these men and women are currently living on the
streets or at risk for ending up there. Can’t we do
more to help them? Glen Dunzweiler, a homeless advocate
and filmmaker, says, “The lip service we get to
veterans’ support is just that. When it comes to actual
support, we come up with reasons why we can’t help.
Sure, this is a tough topic but one we cannot afford to
turn away from.” Bring Glen on your program for an eye-
opening look at America’s homeless population, the
myths we cling to about them and ways we could be doing
more to bring people off the streets into suitable
homes. Glen is also a producer, director, public
speaker and former college professor whose documentary,
“yHomeless,” can be seen on Amazon Prime. He is the
author of “Things I’ve Learned From The Homeless.”

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

“Yes!” says Dr. Paul Wand. “And with spring sports
here, 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! Dr.
Wand, a neurologist who specializes in concussions,
says, “Sometimes symptoms relating to a 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’re told they are
perfectly fine… when in reality they aren’t.” He’ll
explain how your child (or you) could have a concussion
and have no idea, what to do if you suspect a
concussion, as well as the best way to treat one. Paul
Wand, MD, PA has been a medical doctor for 35 years
specializing in the field of Neurology. His upcoming
book is “The Concussion Cure: Three Proven Methods to
Heal Your Brain.” Contact Dr. Paul Wand at (954)
743-5380; PWand@rtirguests.com

10. ==> This M.D. Can Cure Opioid Addiction without
Drugs

As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions,
health professionals primarily rely on drugs like
methadone to cure addiction. But Isaac Alexis, MD, says
there are other, natural ways to overcome addiction
which focus on the whole person. “It’s not just about
treating addicts,” he says. “It’s about treating their
environments and families.” Dr. Isaac adds that
treatment must address the emotional trauma that leads
to addiction in the first place, such as childhood
abuse, in order to be successful. Plus, he can share
natural, over-the-counter remedies that can expedite
the healing process. Dr. Isaac has been featured on CBS
and Fox News as a physician media correspondent. 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 Dr. Isaac at IAlexis@rtirguests.com;
(315) 935-6348.

11. ==> WHAM! BAM! KAPOW! Female Fitness Super Hero

fitness guru Adita Yrizzary-Lang is going to take you
down. She’s on a mission to unleash every woman’s
‘SuperPowers’ to lead them to their best, most powerful

Busy Woman’s Guide to Health and Happiness,” is a 30-
year wellness educator seen on NBC, quoted in Shape and
Fitness and known internationally. She’ll reveal the
secret formula to give busy women great nutrition,

juggling fitness with a packed schedule. Her advice
will get you leaping tall buildings in a single bound.

12. ==> He’s the Voice of Abused Children Everywhere

According to the National Children’s Alliance, nearly
700,000 children are abused in the U.S annually and
four out of five abusers are the children’s own
parents. Wade Meadows was abused by his mother and now
uses a pseudonym to protect his identity. During the
month of April, for Child Abuse Prevention Month,
invite Wade on your program to say what most abused
children cannot, giving words to their anguish and also
offering hope too; Wade was able to end generations of
child abuse with the family he raised. He can talk
about what it was like growing up with a mother who
constantly told him he was worthless—and how he was
able to forgive her. He can share five things parents
should never say to their kids and ways concerned
adults can help to stop this heartbreaking problem.
Wade is the author of “Letters From the Ashes” and
“Ashes Forged Into Manhood.” Contact him at (225)
224-8697; WMeadows@rtirguests.com

13. ==> 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
creator of the New Health Pyramid. Her newest book
“Healed” empowers people to take back their health
using science. Contact Reena Jadhav at (650) 309-1005;
RJadhav@rtirguests.com

14. ==> When ‘for Better or Worse’ Gets REALLY, REALLY
Bad

We all experience forgetfulness. We walk into a room
and can’t remember why we went there. For the twentieth
time, we can’t find those darn keys. We space out on
names and can’t remember appointments. But what happens
when it’s something much more serious and it happens to
the women — who you said you would love until death do
you part? Listeners will learn the answers from sought-
after interview guest Carlen Maddux, as he shares his
wife’s story and his 17 years as her caregiver. Maddux,
author of “A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and Joy
Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer’s,” knows the
challenges and delights (Yes, delights) of care giving.
His wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at only 50 and
lived for another seventeen years. It shook the
foundation of his family and marriage, and challenged
his idea of what it takes to really be a man. Their
story of everyday survival, love and loss is inspiring.
He turned care giving from a burden into a privilege.

15. ==> ‘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, creating 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? The little-known secret is that when you
don’t need your policy any longer you can auction it
off! Find out how! David Kottler 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 Kottler at (216)

16. ==> The Real Reason Alarming Rise in Boomer
Suicides

Suicide rates for Americans between 45- and 64-years
old have increased dramatically in recent years. 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 they’re paying older workers too much
and they’re laying them off. 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. She
is the author of the upcoming book “Thrive After 40 ?
How to Seize Life and Grow Your Dreams!” Contact her at

17. ==> The ‘Decision Doctor’ Helps 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 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
a three-step process she created to help heal herself.

18. ==> Is Common Sense Dead?

Incivility is out of control. We are just acting ruder
and ruder. Invite Joffre McClung to share 5 humorous…
but serious… common sense rules we need to make common
again. Joffre says common sense and self-love go hand
in hand, and clearly there are a whole lot of Americans
that do not love themselves these days. Whether it’s
minding your own business or thinking before you speak,
Joffre will discuss simple rules to tame the current
rise in rude behavior, like keeping your voice down in
public. “No one needs to hear your phone conversation.
You are just not that interesting and no one needs to
hear you fighting or arguing. Can’t say something nice?
Then don’t say anything! Not everyone cares what you
think.” says Joffre. 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 is the author of “The Heart of the Matter.”

JMcClung@rtirguests.com

19. ==> Do a Show on How Love Conquers All

Why not do a show on the incredible true story of a son
who, after 20 years, learns that his estranged birth
mother is actually alive and living on the streets of
Philadelphia? He does everything in his power to find
her, rescue her, and love her…. even after she spits in
his face and refuses to leave the streets. He
sacrifices everything for love! Marty Vargas will share
how his love for his birth mom was tested time and time
again, but eventually prevailed – overcoming her
rejection and fear. This wonderful human-interest story
is really a tale of two mothers… the one who took him
in, raised him, hid the truth from him – but eventually
gave him the information and the courage he needed to
go on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas, MFA, is a
media owner, author, and a sought-after International
speaker. His incredible true story has been seen
multiple times on ABC and NBC Philadelphia and Fox News
Washington, DC. Contact Marty at (631) 246-0790;

20. ==> How 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
glorious, 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
she does so with frankness and humor. Whether listeners
are alone by fate or choice, they’ll gain a whole new
perspective on their circumstance. She’ll also give
listeners easy, fast ways to reinvent themselves, kick-
start the second part of their life and go from being
middle-aged miserable to mid-life magnificent – with or
without a man. Webster is a spitfire of a guest who
isn’t afraid of provocative topics or to show the world
that real women are feisty and bad-ass. Contact her at

1. ==> THIS AFTERNOON – Dan Rather on The Big Interview

Join longtime journalist Dan Rather on a media call
this afternoon to discuss the new season of his AXS
show The Big Interview. The show’s 7th season premieres
later this month and features a roster of superstars
from across the entertainment spectrum who join Rather
to candidly discuss their lives, legacies, and
incredible careers. The new season kicks off with
former Journey front man Steve Perry. Other episodes
include conversations with beloved KISS front man Paul
Stanley, pop pioneer Cyndi Lauper, and others including
Carl and Rob Reiner. To get on the media conference

PT, contact sgrabin@axs.tv Following introductory
comments, the call will open up for a Q&A session with
Rather. After you have RSVP’d, full instructions will
be sent to you before the call takes place.

2. ==> Will Trump Veto Yemen War Powers Resolution?

The House passed a resolution last week calling for the
end of any US military support for the Saudi-led war in
Yemen, sending the proposal to the White House where it
is expected to be vetoed. The resolution, which is seen
as a rebuke of President Donald Trump’s Middle East
policies, already passed the Senate last month and its
supporters made clear their votes were also aimed at
expressing their frustrations with Trump’s continued
support for Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman, who has been implicated in the murder of Saudi
journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Supporters of the
resolution, like Jehan Hakim argue the US shouldn’t be
involved in the war without explicit permission from
Congress. Opponents argue the US does not have “boots
on the ground and is offering noncombat technical
assistance to Saudi Arabia. This is the first time in
the history of the nation that a War Powers Resolution
has passed the House and Senate and made it to the
president’s desk. Jehan Hakim is chair of the Yemeni
Alliance Committee, a leading grassroots group on the
issue. Contact him at hakimjehan@gmail.com

3. ==> New Study Reveals Alarming Rise in Suicidal Kids

The number of children and teens in the United States
who visited emergency rooms for suicidal thoughts and
suicide attempts doubled between 2007 and 2015,
according to a new analysis. From 300 emergency rooms
sampled, researchers tracked the number of children
between 5 and 18 who received a diagnosis of suicidal
ideation or suicide attempts each year. The findings
come as no surprise to psychiatrists, who have
witnessed the dramatic increase in childhood depression
and suicide. Invite Dr. John Huber to discuss the
alarming trend, what is fueling it, and the risk
factors involved. 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. ==> SPEED – Docuseries Explores Our Need for Speed

CuriosityStream’s new docuseries chronicling humanity’s
need for speed is slated to air+ on the platform later
this month. SPEED, a four-part docuseries, tells the
story of humankind’s natural desires to explore and
invent. Hosted by engineering expert Sean Riley, it
charts transportation breakthroughs throughout history

5. ==> Hot Dog It’s Baseball Season!

There’s not much that’s more American than baseball and
hot dogs! According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage
Council, fans will enjoy 18.3 million hot dogs and
nearly four million sausages at ballparks this year!
Invite NHDSC President Eric Mittenthal to share which
baseball parks eat the most wieners, where sausage
sales surge, and the most interesting offerings across
the country like the Minnesota Twins’ Boomstick, a two-
foot-long beast smothered in chili, nacho cheese,
grilled onions and jalapeños that got its start with
the Texas Rangers—keying off the nickname of slugger
Nelson Cruz—who not coincidentally is now batting for
the Twins! Established in 1994 by the American Meat
Institute, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council
serves as an information resource to consumers and
media on questions related to quality, safety,
nutrition and preparation of hot dogs and sausages.

6. ==> 5G Network Health Hazards

Telecommunications companies routinely tout the speed
and clarity of their networks as they continually
invest in infrastructure to improve and keep up with
the demands of a technological-based world. This June,
it is likely that the fifth-generation network known as
5G will make its debut with little debate on the health
issues of microwave radiation that it uses. Invite Dr.
Beverly Jensen to discuss the potential side effects of
5G on people, wildlife and the planet. She’ll share
studies that show the health risks and explain why 5G
is a game-changer, with far more antennas and cell
towers that are lower to the ground and literally
around every corner. Beverly A. Jensen, Ph.D., is a
life-long practitioner of the natural healing arts and
a wellness warrior. After managing a health project in
the Czech Republic that used the internet for health
promotion, Dr. Jensen created in 2003, Women’s Medicine
Bowl, a website for information and education on
natural healing systems. Her upcoming book is “21st
Century Rx: Health Hacks to Treat, Cure, and Prevent
Chronic Dis-ease.” Contact her at (202) 725-9520; (206)
905-9720; selfcaremaven@gmail.com

7. ==> Why Holocaust Remembrance Day Matters Today

Although the Holocaust happened some 75 years ago,
religion-based hate crimes and the audacious rise of
white nationalists continue to roil the U.S. and the
world, from the Tree of Life massacre of Jews in
Pittsburgh to the senseless loss of Muslim lives in
Christchurch, New Zealand. As Israel and the world
prepare to celebrate Yom HaShoah or Holocaust
Remembrance Day marked by the period from April 28
through May 2, and the number of living Holocaust
survivors continues to fall, second-generation
Holocaust survivor Ellen Korman Mains maintains that
this topic could not be more current. Mains says, “It’s
important to commemorate these events, not only to
remember the dead and overcome ignorance of the past,
but to take stock of our personal and societal patterns
in the present and how we can shift these so that
genocides and mass violence don’t continue into the
future.” The daughter of Polish-born Jews who survived
the Holocaust, Ellen Korman Mains has led meditation
retreats internationally, and speaks about the cross-
section of spirituality and social change. Contact her
at (720) 292-4520; dranyen@yahoo.com

8. ==> Why This Psychiatrist Says Women Will 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 women are the
answer! “Women by nature are nurturers… 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, that 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. Contact Dr.

9. ==> 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
keynote speaker on ethics and integrity in the
workplace and in life. Contact him at (214) 216-2199;

10. ==> How Parent Expectations Cause Kids Physical
Pain

Some parents are obsessed with high grades, getting
their kids into the right school, and over-booking
their kids in activities and sports. David Hanscom,
M.D., says the anxiety brought about by these attitudes
and demands is directly responsible for a rise in youth
anxiety, suicide and kids being unnecessarily
medicated. It also causes kids to feel physical pain.
Dr. 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. The
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. He’ll also explore how anxiety has led
to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and just plain bad-
doctoring for kids and adults. Dr. Hanscom is an
orthopedic complex spinal deformity surgeon who has
appeared on numerous shows including The Dr. Oz Show.

11. ==> Moms and Dads Are Cheating… Their College Kids

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. “Being denied opportunities
can be to our betterment; it certainly helped me
achieve dreams and goals beyond my imagination and made
me the woman I am today.” Jane 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

12. ==> Shocking Number of Homeless College Students

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.

Homeless.” Contact him at (702) 703-2219;

13. ==> Here’s Why End-Times Are Likely to Begin This
Spring

People have been debating when End Times will start for
years. But according to Bible scholar Richard Ruhling,
M.D., a persuasive case can be made that they will
start with this Passover and Easter season. The author
of a book on this topic, Dr. Ruhling can explain the
real-world events to watch for that he is 95 percent
sure will kick off the Apocalypse. His ideas are based
on Christ’s last six parables. Ask Dr. Ruhling to
explain what the 9-11 Code is, what event he expects
will take place in Jerusalem, and the role the pope’s
recent visit to Abu Dhabi may play in it. Dr. Ruhling
taught Health Science at Loma Linda University and has
been on dozens of talk shows focusing on health,
current events and prophecy. Contact Dr. Ruhling at

14. ==> 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.
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’s helped hundreds of patients beat their
addictions to go on and lead full lives. McGee is the

15. ==> April is Stress Awareness Month

Show of hands: How many people wish they had less
stress? How many wish they weren’t burned out and had
more time for themselves? Hands down. The truth is we
all would like to celebrate Stress Awareness Month in
April—and every month thereafter—by having less stress,
more joy and more energy for what matters most to us.
Saundra Dalton-Smith, M.D., says the way to do this is
to reduce your “work-rest deficit.” Let her explain

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,

the World!”

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

Bill” Donovan and completed two successful missions
parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,

2. ==> Uber Murder Leads to New Rideshare Laws

South Carolina lawmakers have introduced legislation to
require all rideshare vehicles to have illuminated
signs while the driver is on duty. The move comes just
days after 21-year-old New Jersey native Samantha
Josephson was killed after she mistakenly climbed into
a car she believed was her Uber ride. Invite legal
analyst Seema Iyer to discuss the bipartisan
legislation and whether other states are likely to
follow suit. Seema Iyer is an anchor on the newly
relaunched Court TV. She’s been an anchor and reporter
for ABC and Fox affiliates, served as a fill-in host
for Ashleigh Banfield on HLN’s Crime & Justice and

3. ==> New York Bans Unvaccinated Kids from Public

The top official of Rockland County, New York, took a
major step this week in response to a serious measles
outbreak — he banned unvaccinated children from public
places for 30 days. The ban is highly unusual, but as
an emergency measure to protect both the public and the
children affected by it, Dorit Reiss says it is legal
and ethical, and wise. “Measles is a serious disease
that can lead to severe complications or death. It is
extremely contagious — the most contagious virus
known. There is an extremely effective, safe vaccine
against measles. The Rockland outbreak is ongoing
because people are not using it — and they are not
using it generally, because of incorrect anti-vaccine
claims.” She adds, “The ban fits within principles of
public health law and ethics. It limits personal
autonomy — but it limits it in the context of a clear
threat, and after previous lesser measures were used.”
Dorit Reiss is the James Edgar Hervey Professor of Law
at the University of California, Hastings College of
the Law. Contact her at reissd@uchastings.edu; (415)

4. ==> ‘Deadwood’ Movie Actress Geri Jewell

Nearly 13 years after the hit Western series ended, HBO
Films has released the first look at “Deadwood: The
Movie.” Invite Geri Jewell, who recreates her series
character Jewel in the film, to talk about reuniting
with the cast, what happened behind the scenes, and
what viewers can expect in the movie-version. Geri
shattered the glass ceiling for individuals with
disabilities when she was cast by Norman Lear in the
hit series The Facts of Life and then again in the HBO
series Deadwood. Based on the Golden Globe and Emmy-
winning series set in 1876, Deadwood jumps forward 13
years to 1889 and follows the reunion of the camp to
celebrate South Dakota’s statehood. Deadwood premieres
on HBO in May. Geri Jewell’s other TV appearances have
included Glee, Alcatraz, The Young and the Restless and
21 Jump Street. Her memoir, “I’m Walking As Straight As
I Can” tells the powerful life story of the comedienne
and actress. Contact Harlan Boll at (626) 296-3757;

5. ==> Why Unrestrained 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? Retired
neurosurgeon and president of Pan Africa Children
Advocacy Watch, Inc., Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni says 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. He’ll
reveal 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? Dr. Ayeni is the author of “Rescue Thyself:
Change in Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within.”

6. ==> Why a Merit-Based America No Longer Exists

7. ==> What Home Improvement and Flipping Shows Don’t
Tell You

Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy. A team of experts transforms dumps into
showplaces, seemingly by magic, then sells them for big
profits. But according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works in real life.
“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.” These show also
don’t tell you why rental properties are better
investments than buy-and-flip properties. 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.” Contact Dan at (510) 570-1368;

8. ==> Rid Your Bathroom of Toxins for Earth Day

If you want to do something for Earth Day, why not
start with your family bathroom? So suggests eco-
interior designer Charisse Marei (pronounced More-ay),
author of the upcoming book “Eco-Conscious Home,” part
of her One Room at a time series. As she will explain,
the typical bathroom has toxins everywhere—consider
your shampoo, toothpaste, shower and even your bath
towels and washcloths that may have been contaminated
by the wrong laundry detergent. Invite Charisse on air
to explain how to substitute healthy products for
undesirable ones you may be using, how to save money
while you are doing it and even how to conserve water.
Plus, she says you’ll notice the uplifting effect on
your brain almost immediately. Charisse is the founder
of Healthy Living with Charisse Marei. Contact her at

9. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, mental illness and his bandmate
brothers and cousin Mike Love. But for the first time,
his former bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin
has come forward with his riveting behind-the-scenes
story. Rocky is a former NFL player who was college
roommates and best friends with Stan Love, brother of
Mike Love and former player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted to serve as
bodyguards for Brian, who was on a death spiral. After
years of keeping silent, Rocky has 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. “I realized that Rocky had been where
no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a monumental
time for the band. There have been plenty of books on
the Beach Boys. But no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact them at (310) 997-4947;
mvezo@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Renegade Pharmacist Says Drugs Don’t Work

Dr. Leyla Ali’s father was a surgeon and her mother was
a surgical technician. Medicine was in her blood so it
was only natural for her to pursue a career as a
pharmacist. But soon after finishing pharmacy school
she came to realize that pharmaceuticals are a
business, and drugs are a product, not necessarily a
cure or even in a patient’s best interest. Invite this
‘renegade’ pharmacist to reveal how far the medical
system has gone astray, and what your listeners can do
to protect their own health. She’ll expose the
limitations of the medical system while inspiring
people to take control of their health by seeking
alternative and holistic solutions. Dr. Ali is the
author of “Off Balance: The American Way of Health” and
the upcoming “So You’ve Been Diagnosed with Cancer and
Now You’re in a Panic Handbook.” Contact her at (562)

11. ==> How to Save a Life this Month

April is Donate Life Month and Friday, April 12th is
National Blue & Green Day. Both celebrate the selfless
giving of organ donation. Sadly, while 95% of Americans
says they believe in organ donation only 54% have
registered as donors. Bring attention to the issue and
encourage your listeners to save lives when you invite
Joe Lafferty, an organ donor advocate, to share his own
story of receiving a double transplant from Justin
Boyer, a deceased 16-year-old. “I’ll never get the
chance to say, thank you or to hug him, but that’s why
I’m living Justin Time,” says Joe. He has survived
cancer, diabetes, vision loss, a pulmonary embolism,
kidney failure, heart surgery, a double organ
transplant and seven minutes of death; all while
playing high school and college football, working for
three D-1A athletic departments, the Orange Bowl and
the Dallas Cowboys. He coached 14 seasons of high
school football, including 15 future NFL players, and
is a member of the Donate Life Hollywood board and
coauthor of the upcoming book “Justin Time: A Memoir of
Faith and Fight for Life.” Contact him at (412)

13. ==> How to 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 personal transformation expert Arnoux Goran to
reveal the warning signs of dangerous jealousy. He’ll
explain the behaviors to watch out for and share when
to know that it’s time to end the relationship. His
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.” Listeners
will learn the warning signs of dangerous jealousy and
whether someone can change so you don’t have to end the
relationship. Contact Arnoux Goran at (878) 203-8231

14. ==> Sandwiched Boomers Feel the Squeeze: Experts
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, creating a financial maelstrom their
family would never recover from. Did you know that, if
you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of your
insurance 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 you can auction off your policy when you
don’t need it any longer! Find out how! David combines

16. ==> Do A Show on the Prince of New York

Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the “Prince of New
York.” Born a Russian Prince in 1890, he married a
Russian princess, escaped to England from the
Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
U.S. with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.

17. ==> The Recipe for Real Work/Life Balance

Work-life balance is more of a joke than a reality in
most organizations. With nearly 8 percent of total
health-care spending dollars now attributable to
unhealthy workplace environments, stress is costing
businesses more than $180 billion. Holistic
psychologist and consultant Katherine Kelly, Ph.D.,
M.S.P.H., says, “The biggest mistake employees make in
corporate America is to consider balance as something
separate from work. Those who make a career out of
healthy living also make the best leaders and
employees.” Using her 3-step approach to what she calls
a Recipe for Radiant Living, she’ll use easy cooking
analogies to explain how to rebalance your life as part
of your career path. Dr. Kelly says, “The secret to any
good meal is how it appeals to a particular person. The
same is true for creating a personalized self-care
strategy.” Dr. Katherine Kelly is a clinical health
psychologist and consultant currently practicing in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She has appeared on more
than 300 radio and TV shows and is the author of “Soul
Health: Aligning with Spirit for Radiant Living.” Her

18. ==> Why Kids Should 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 six times the national
average! Lee Jenkins is currently working on his new
book “How to Create a Perfect School,” foreword by Jack
Canfield. He has been an educator and administrator in
public schools and universities. Contact Jenkins at

1. ==> The Real National Emergency Is Not at the Border

While Donald Trump continues to push for a border wall
citing a national emergency, David Love says we’re all
ignoring the real emergency facing millions of
Americans: Income inequality and economic greed. “The
President likes to tout that his administration is
responsible for the nation’s low unemployment rate, but
what is the use of a low unemployment rate when people
cannot live on the jobs they hold? Forty percent of
Americans do not have $400 in case of an emergency
expense. Drug and health care costs preclude millions
from being able to afford to get sick, and public
servants and first responders cannot afford to live in
the communities they serve.” Love says it’s no wonder
people are talking about Socialism. “A new generation
of Americans is not swayed by the old labels and
divisive tactics. Rather, they ask themselves how they
are faring in today’s America, and what kind of country
they want to live in.” David A. Love is a writer and
commentator based in Philadelphia. He contributes to
publications including CNN, Atlanta Black Star,
ecoWURD, and Al Jazeera. Contact him at

2. ==> NATO Turns 70

Tomorrow, April 3rd, NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg will address a joint session of Congress.
This year marks NATO’s 70th anniversary, and comes as
President Trump continues to criticize the value of the
NATO alliance and European nations’ commitments to it.
James Carden can explain the history of the pact and
how it has since been expanded. “On April 4, 1949,
representatives of the United States, Canada, and 10
European countries, including the United Kingdom and
France, gathered in Washington to sign the North
Atlantic Treaty, a defense pact created at the urging
of wartime allies France and Britain as a means to, in
the words of NATO’s first secretary general, Lord
Hastings Lionel Ismay, ‘keep the Russians out, the
Americans in, and the Germans down.’” He says, “The
policy of NATO expansion is largely responsible for the
dangerous deterioration in relations between Russia and
the West and lies at the heart of the ongoing Ukraine
crisis. Instead of a self-serving, self-justifying
anniversary celebration, NATO should address what has
gone so wrong over the past three decades.” James
Carden is a contributing writer at The Nation and the
executive editor for the American Committee for East-
West Accord. Contact him at jamescarden09@gmail.com

3. ==> Environmentalist & TV Host Philippe Cousteau Jr.

Environmentalist and TV host Philippe Cousteau Jr.
(grandson of the legendary Jacques Cousteau) continues
the legacy of his father and grandfather by speaking
and acting in the environment’s defense. With Earth Day
approaching, Philippe can discuss the annual EarthEcho
Water Challenge — which he started to combat the issue
of water pollution, which claims millions of lives
every year. The water challenge enlists schools,
businesses and individuals to test water quality and
share the data to help make their communities healthier
and more sustainable. Philippe is the founder of the
environmental organization EarthEcho International and
the Emmy-nominated host of several TV shows including
the syndicated Awesome Planet and Travel Channel’s
Caribbean Pirate Treasure. Contact John Angelo at

7. ==> 80% of Americans Say Political Correctness is a Problem

A report published by More in Common, an organization
looking to reduce polarization and social division in
communities, found that 80% of the US public believe
that political correctness is a problem. The study
found that most Americans are part of an “exhausted
majority” that are flexible in their political views.
Invite Psychologist Dr. John Huber to discuss the study
and why so many people are uncomfortable with political
correctness. 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.

8. ==> Is Common Sense Dead?

Incivility is out of control. We are just acting ruder
and ruder. Joffre McClung says common sense and self-
love go hand in hand, and clearly there are a whole lot
of Americans that do not love themselves these days.
Invite her to share 5 humorous but serious common sense
rules we need to make common again. Whether it’s
minding your own business or thinking before you speak,
Joffre will discuss simple rules to tame the current
rise in rude behavior, like keeping your voice down in
public. “No one needs to hear your phone conversation.
You are just not that interesting and no one needs to
hear you fighting or arguing. Can’t say something nice?
Then don’t say anything! Not everyone cares what you
think.” says Joffre. 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 takes the esoteric and brings it back down to
earth with a big dose of common sense. Her latest book
is “The Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at (917)

9. ==> Why Aren’t Homeless Vets a Greater Priority?

10. ==> How Admission Scams and Parent Expectations Are
Causing Kids Physical Pain

Some parents are obsessed with high grades, getting
their kids into THE right school, and over-booking
their kids in activities and sports. Dr. David Hanscom
says the anxiety brought about by these attitudes and
demands is directly responsible for a rise in youth
anxiety, suicide and kids being unnecessarily
medicated. It also causes kids to feel physical pain.
Dr. 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. The
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. He’ll also explore how anxiety has led
to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and just plain bad-
doctoring for kids and adults. Dr. Hanscom is an
orthopedic complex spinal deformity surgeon who has
appeared on numerous shows including The Dr. Oz Show.

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

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. Interestingly,
however, you may find a better remedy in your
refrigerator. Dr. Ed Dodge says that veggies and fruits
have proven healing power and when tested side by side
with expensive medications, veggies and fruits 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)

13. ==> Interview the M.D. Who Can Cure Opioid
Addiction without Drugs

As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions,
health professionals primarily rely on drugs such as
methadone to cure addiction. But Dr. Isaac Alexis says
that there are other, natural ways to overcome
addiction, which focus on the whole person. “It’s not
just about treating addicts,” he says. “It’s about
treating their environments and families.” Dr. Isaac
adds that treatment must address the emotional trauma
that leads to addiction in the first place, such as
childhood abuse, in order to be successful. Plus, he
can share natural, over-the-counter remedies that can
expedite the healing process. Dr. Isaac completed an
internship in trauma surgery at Cornell University at
New York Hospital of Queens. 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 Isaac at IAlexis@rtirguests.com;
(315) 935-6348.

14. ==> Why Do Hospital Accidental Deaths Receive No Review?

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the “Don Quixote”
of Health Care Reform. At 85 years young he has been
hounding the five Federal Agencies created to solve the
health care crisis in this country for decades. With
over 130 years collectively between those agencies our
health care system is still a mess AND medical errors
leading to deaths in hospitals continues to rise. As
the oldest medical malpractice expert witness in the
country he knows what he’s talking about. He has
developed a system to empower local grassroots
activists in each state to radically change our health
care delivery system. “Everyone is focusing on how to
PAY for health care… when the DELIVERY system is what’s
really broken!” Dr. Williams will tell you why each
state is responsible for our nation’s healthcare
delivery system, what the 3-phase process is that we
need to implement to create a 21st century healthcare
delivery system and how to organize state wide
grassroots activists that will challenge the current
system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an author, an
experienced surgeon, medical malpractice expert
witness, and an expert in how to improve our healthcare
delivery system. His latest book is “Healthcare
Warriors, Why and How to Become One.” Contact Dr.
Williams at (864) 479-8613; IWilliams@rtirguests.com

15. ==> What Happens When for Better or Worse Gets
REALLY, REALLY Bad?

We all experience forgetfulness. We walk into a room
and can’t remember why we went there. For the twentieth
time, we can’t find those darn keys. We space out on
names and can’t remember appointments. But what happens
when it’s something much more serious and it happens to
the women — who you said you would love until death do
you part? Listeners will earn the answers from sought-
after interview guest Carlen Maddux, as he shares his
wife’s story and his 17 years as her caregiver. Maddux,
author of “A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and Joy
Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer’s”, knows the
challenges and delights (Yes, delights) of care giving.
His wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at only 50 and
lived for another seventeen years. It shook the
foundation of his family and marriage, and challenged
his idea of what it takes to really be a man. Their
story of everyday survival, love and loss is inspiring.
He turned care giving from a burden into a privilege.

16. ==> What’s Behind the Beatles’ Staying Power?

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
regales Beatles fans with fascinating unknown facts
about the Fab Four’s “White Album” and their lives in
the 1960s. When you interview Susan, you’ll learn:
three shocking reasons the Beatles’ left India in a
huff, stunning predictions their guru made about them,

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
Ringo’s new book is connected to the Beatles time in
India. Susan spent 22 years living in the ashrams of
the Beatles’ guru and six years on his personal staff.

17. ==> How to Connect with Your ‘Inner Cowgirl,’ at
Any Age

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
lady 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 decided to parlay
her lifelong affiliation with farming into a successful
career as a rancher, and can share valuable tips for
finding late life success and joy. Sandra is the author

18. ==> Why Are Younger Women Attracted to Older Men?

old Lauren Bacall. Despite their age differences,
theirs was a storied romance. But what is the
attraction for ordinary people who do the same thing?
Interview Patricia Houtz for a look at what younger
women see in older men. Houtz, who had a 30-year
relationship with a married man twice her age, will
tell you that money had absolutely nothing to do with

20. ==> What’s in a Name? Your Fate in Life

Sticks and stones may break our bones, but our names
can make or break our success in life. According to
name colorology expert B. P. Greycastle, the letters of
our names represent specific colors, which relate to
certain glands such as the pancreas, and energy centers
known as chakras. “I can illustrate with a vast array
of lists, facts and figures that the most famous and
successful people in practically every field owe their
success to their names,” he says. B.P. can illustrate
this on air, with astonishing accuracy. A Vietnam
veteran who studied fashion under the G.I. Bill, he
worked in the fabric and fashion industries for many

=======================================

1. ==> How Barr Punked Media about Mueller Report

Three days after Robert Mueller submitted his
confidential report to Attorney General William Barr,
we still know little about his investigation except
that Mueller has not seen fit to charge anyone in
Trump’s orbit with crimes directly related to their
known contacts with Russian emissaries, intelligence
agents, and WikiLeaks. Brian Beutler says beyond that,
there are many questions that can only be answered with
a full release of the report. “We don’t know what
Mueller uncovered as he investigated the campaign,
whether he considered charging campaign associates,
and, if so why he ultimately decided against it.” He
adds, “Notwithstanding Barr’s heroic, lawyerly effort
to create a sense that Mueller has exonerated Trump,
the letter he delivered to Congress on Sunday is nearly
silent on all of these questions, and actually suggests
that the report’s contents are deeply damaging to the
president.” Brian Beutler is the editor in chief of
Crooked Media. His work has appeared in Salon and The
New Republic among other news publications. Contact him
at @brianbeutler; press@crooked.com

2. ==> A New ‘Kennedy Moon’ Moment?

Americans will return to the moon by 2024, Vice
President Mike Pence announced at a meeting of the
National Space Council on Tuesday. Invite NASA expert
Rod Pyle talk about what’s going on in the space
program today and whether Pence’s prediction is likely
to play out. He says, “A number of presidents have
attempted to recapture lightning in emulation of JFK–
looks like this one might actually do it!” He adds,
“The VP’s claim comes just a week after NASA’s
announcement that the SLS megarocket is so far behind
schedule that the agency is considering buying launches
on commercial providers to build the orbiting Lunar
Gateway, and that they would buy landers from
appropriate suppliers. That’s big news for the US space
program—and companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin.” Rod
Pyle appears on national radio and TV and hosts the
podcast “Cool Space News” on iHeart Radio. He has
written more than a dozen books and produced numerous
documentaries for the History Channel and Discovery
Communications including the acclaimed Modern Marvels:

4. ==> Why Prince Remains an Enigma

An astonishingly prolific artist when alive, Prince
remains an enigma for the breadth of his musical
genius, his relentless work ethic, and how he fought to
change the business of music. Award winning author
Duane Tudahl interviewed more than 40 band members,
singers, and engineers chronicling Prince’s time in the
studio during 1983 and 1984. Invite him on your show to

thoughts and emotions, and the 3 very important keys to
Prince’s incredible success. Duane Tudahl is a long-
time documentary director and producer in the
entertainment industry and a former stand-up comic. An
Expanded Paperback version of his best-selling book,

5. ==> Diane Dimond on Madeline McCann Case

The story of Madeline McCann is a hot topic once again,
thanks to a buzzy new docu-series on Netflix and now, a
new special on Investigation Discovery, Madeline
McCann: An ID Murder Mystery. The world’s most famous
missing child case, the story of Madeline McCann, is
every parent’s worst nightmare. In May 2007, during the

unsolved. Featured in the ID special is investigative

McCann case. Invite Diane to weigh-in with her thoughts
on what really happened to Madeline McCann and discuss
new information presented in the special. Contact John

6. ==> Does a Merit-Based America Still Exist?

7. ==> You Might Have a Concussion and Not Know it!

“It’s true!” says Dr. Paul Wand. “And with spring
sports season here, parents are worried about kids and
sports injuries—especially concussions.” 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! Interview Dr.
Wand, a neurologist who specializes in concussions,
will explain how your child, or you, could have a
concussion and have no clue! 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!” says Dr. Wand. Paul Wand,
MD, PA, has been a practicing neurologist for 35 years.

8. ==> Should Panhandlers Be Made to Work?

If you live in the city, you have no doubt seen
panhandlers asking for money. Maybe you even reached
into your pocket for some spare change to give them.
But did you know that several cities are now paying
panhandlers a decent wage to pick up trash? As Glen
Dunzweiler will inform you, Albuquerque and San Diego
have created programs to employ the homeless—programs
that could be reproduced elsewhere. As an advocate for
the homeless, Glen can tell you his opinion of these
programs and how they might provide the answer to the
question he gets most about the homeless: why can’t
they just get jobs? Glen is a filmmaker, producer,
director, public speaker and former college professor
whose documentary, “yHomeless,” can be seen on Amazon
Prime. He is the author of “Things I’ve Learned From
The Homeless.” Contact him at (702) 703-2219;

10. ==> Take this ‘Before You Get Out of Bed’
Challenge!

Do this one little thing before you get out of bed each
day, and you will experience more joy, confidence and
productivity. It only takes 2-3 minutes and has been
proven to help people dramatically shift their lives.
It’s not mediation, visualizing or goal setting.
Cathleen Lamberton, a coach and emotional fitness
trainer, gives this powerful challenge to her clients
and it has revolutionized their life: before your feet
hit the floor, write down ten things you’re grateful
for. Do this every day for ten days and watch how it
completely shifts your perspective and your feelings
before you even head to the bathroom. She’ll explain
why this simple exercise is so powerful along with
specific examples of how it’s transformed people from
all walks of life from the woman who was in a miserable
marriage to the veteran who suffered from PTSD. Contact

11. ==> You’ve Got 8 Seconds: Communication Secrets for
a Distracted World

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 his own clients.
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

12. ==> Award-Winning Songwriter on Creativity and
Chronic Illness

Six in 10 adults in the US lives with a chronic
disease. 43 million experience mental illness in a
given year, and suicide is the third leading cause of
death in our youth. Pop singer/songwriter, playwright,
author, filmmaker Lisa Sniderman (Aoede) can discuss
how art became her lifeboat while battling a
progressive muscle disease for 11 years. “Living and
coping with chronic illness can be isolating. It can
leave you questioning your self-worth and identity and
feeling hopeless. Creativity can help those struggling
to thrive, be visible and dream!” Lisa has been honored
with more than 55 awards and considered multiple times
for a GRAMMY all while struggling with a rare, chronic
illness. She’ll discuss her experience of how illness
can affect mental and physical states and
relationships, and how she’s found ways to create, even
with limited energy. An inspirational artist and guest,
Lisa Sniderman is the author of “A Light in the
Darkness: Transcending Chronic Illness through the
Power of Art and Attitude.” Contact her at (415)

13. ==> When Rehab Doesn’t Work

Why do so many people admit themselves into rehab only
to get out and relapse? Why does AA only work for about
15% of the people who go there? Most people who end up
at AA or in rehab aren’t spending time getting to the
root of their addiction – and some actually end up
trading in one addiction for another. Dr. Michael
McGee will share how understanding why people want and
need to make themselves feel better – if only for a
short time – is the key to recovery. Ask him about his
unique 12 Step Touchstone Approach to Recovery from
addiction and why it works better than AA for many
people. Dr. McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard
Medical Schools. He has helped hundreds of patients
beat their addictions to go on and lead full lives. He
is the author of “The Joy of Recovery: The New 12 Step
Guide to Recovery from Addiction.” Contact Dr. McGee at

14. ==> Shocking Health Truths from America’s Top MDs

An 18-year-old dies of fatty liver disease while a 55-
year-old woman’s stage 4 cancer disappears. How are
both possible? Health is the most confusing and
controversial topic today with crazy diets from vegan
to keto and everything in between. Over 100 million

16. ==> Moms and Dads Are Cheating… their College Kids

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. “Being denied
opportunities can be to our betterment; it certainly
helped me achieve dreams and goals beyond my
imagination and made me the woman I am today.” Jane 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.

paralyzes their pen, it’s time to wrestle that writing
fear. As a parent, you can help in 3 easy steps — and
you don’t have to be a wordsmith, either. Invite

18. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make

Did you know that many teachers, in trying to encourage
their students, actually embarrass them? That
embarrassment leads to discouragement, which if left
unchecked can kill whatever love of learning a kid has.
All children have an innate desire to learn and are
excited about it. But as early as kindergarten, even
good teachers are setting them up to hate school. As a
former educator and administrator in public schools and
universities, Lee Jenkins saw the need for a new
approach to learning – one that keeps that “intrinsic
motivation” alive from kindergarten through 12th grade.
He says, “What most parents and teachers don’t realize
is that motivation is made up of both will and thrill.
Are your kids working hard and loving the process?
Chances are they aren’t!” Lee Jenkins is the of
“Permission to Forget” and the upcoming “How to Create
a Perfect School.” He now consults and writes full
time with his firm LtoJ Consulting Group. Contact him

19. ==> Ever Worry That Someday You Will Run Out of
Money? Do this…

You know those TV commercials that ask people how much
money they think they’ll need to save over their
lifetime in order to retire comfortably? Their
response? A bewildered, “beats me.” The truth is if
your investments are in stocks, bonds, precious metals
or other commodities there is no way of knowing for
sure. Not so with real estate. “Once the cash flow from
your rental properties coupled with your future Social
Security checks consistently and significantly exceeds
your monthly personal expenses you’ll never have to
worry about outliving your money,” says Doug Marshall,
author of “Mastering the Art of Commercial Real Estate
Investing.” Marshall has created 9 streams of passive
income for himself through real estate without having
to quit his job or spend his own time looking for
deals. He’ll show you how you can create passive income
without giving up your free time. Ask him about the
three not-so-obvious reasons why investing in real
estate is far superior to any other type of investment.

20. ==> The 1% Busted: Myths and Misconceptions
Revealed

What myths can be busted about the 1%? What lessons can
we learn from them that can help us succeed? When we
talk about the 1% it’s a love-hate relationship. But
make no mistake – we would all rather be them.
Interview Ivan Obolensky to learn more about the myths
surrounding the 1% – and how the lessons he learned
during childhood continue to shape his success today.
His grandfather Serge Obolensky – aka the Prince of New
York – married Alice Astor, daughter of John Jacob
Astor who died on the Titanic. Growing up in this world
Ivan has firsthand experience. Misconceptions abound
about their ethics, morals and attitudes. Find out how
the 1% really lives. “People think that those who have
wealth are self-centered, have no problems, don’t
contribute to society, or that they are simply lucky
and entitled,” says Ivan, “but nothing could be further

=======================================

1. ==> Russiagate: Massive Gift for Trump

Journalist Aaran Mate says Robert Mueller’s findings
should put to rest the Trump-Russia collusion theory
that has dominated U.S. media and political culture for
more than two years. He says, “With Mueller’s probe
wrapping up with no finding of a conspiracy, those who
led their audiences to expect the opposite have just
handed Trump a massive gift for his re-election
campaign. The narrative of a Trump-Russia conspiracy
was not grounded in fact. Unfortunately, prominent
media and political voices ignored the countervailing
evidence to blow it far out of proportion and mislead
millions of people into expecting that Mueller would
uncover a Trump-Russia plot.” Mate adds, “The Trump-
Russia fixation has sidelined attention on Trump’s
actual policies, and channeled liberal energy into
unrealistic expectations. With Mueller no longer able
to fill that fantasy role, those who oppose Trump have
the opportunity to build a real resistance to his
administration, and confront the serious issues that
Russiagate has helped us avoid.” For over two years,
Maté has written a series of pieces for The Nation
questioning the prevailing orthodoxy on “Russiagate.”

2. ==> True Story of False Accusations About George
Soros

Elie Wiesel’s Moment Magazine has just released the
third story in its ongoing series, The Vilification of
George Soros in Israel, which investigates how the
Holocaust survivor came to be seen as an enemy not only
in Russia and Eastern Europe, but by Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right-wing Israeli
organizations and media—and many in the American Jewish
community. Moment editor-in-chief and author of the
three articles, Nadine Epstein, is available for
interviews. Founded in 1975 by Nobel Prize laureate
Elie Wiesel and acclaimed writer Leonard Fein, Moment
Magazine is an independent publication that provides
wide-ranging perspectives on the political, cultural
and social issues facing the Jewish community. It has
been led by Epstein since 2004. Contact Johanna Ramos

3. ==> Deadwood: The Movie’s Geri Jewell

Geri Jewell shattered the glass ceiling for individuals
with disabilities when she was cast by Norman Lear in
the hit series The Facts of Life and then again in the
HBO series Deadwood. She’s also in the long-awaited
Deadwood film set for release this spring, recreating
her character Jewel, whose sole purpose in life seems
to be taking abuse from residents. Invite Geri to talk
about reuniting with the Deadwood cast, what happened
behind the scenes, and what viewers can expect in the
movie-version. Based on the Golden Globe and Emmy-
winning series set in 1876, Deadwood jumps forward 13
years to 1889 and follows the 10-year reunion of the
camp to celebrate South Dakota’s statehood. Deadwood
premieres on HBO in May. Geri Jewell’s other TV
appearances have included Glee, Alcatraz, The Young and
the Restless and 21 Jump Street. Her memoir, “I’m
Walking As Straight As I Can” tells the powerful life
story of the comedienne and actress. Contact Harlan
Boll at (626) 296-3757; h.boll@dcpublicity.com

4. ==> Top 5 TV Trials: Court TV’s Vinnie Politan

For nearly two decades, Court TV brought high-profile
courtroom dramas into American living rooms. As the
iconic channel gets set for a relaunch, invite EMMY®
Award-winning legal journalist Vinnie Politan to talk
about his picks for the top TV trials. From Casey
Anthony to Jodi Arias and Anna Nicole Smith’s death and
custody battle, Politan can discuss why certain trials
transfix the public and how a televised trial is
different from one that isn’t. He’ll also discuss
whether cameras should be allowed in all courtrooms and
what viewers can learn by watching a real trial. Vinnie
Politan, a popular face on the original Court TV, is
lead anchor of the new Court TV. Vinnie has been
covering the world of crime, trials and justice for
over 20 years, also hosting legal and news programs on

5. ==> March Madness: AI Can’t Pick Brackets Either

If your NCAA brackets have already gone bust you might
wonder if a computer could pick winners better than you
can. DJ Sebastian says, “Score one for humans over
technology! It’s nearly impossible for artificial
intelligence and advanced technologies to select NCAA
basketball tournament brackets any better than random
selections by humans!” Sebastian, author of “The
Selling Revolution: Prospering in the World of
Artificial Intelligence,” will explain why advanced
technologies won’t help you picket a winner in your
March Madness office pool but how they will drive
significant changes throughout society! DJ Sebastian as
been advising clients on advanced technologies like
Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics for more
than 20 years. Contact him at DJ@thetechseller.com or

6. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

7. ==> Why Everyone Can Love about Queer Eye

Jonathon, Antoni, Bobby, Tan and Karamo are back for
season 3 of the Netflix hit show Queer Eye and if you
haven’t seen it, Joffre McClung says you should, even
if you aren’t necessarily a fan of typical make-over
shows. “The Fab Five are ‘loud and proud’ but the show
isn’t about sexual orientation, it’s about self-love.
Each episode shows how everything gets better and life
becomes fuller and more fulfilling when we embrace and
love our true selves.” She’ll explain how expanding
your own self-love ripples outward into the world
making it a much more positive and loving place, and
how a lack of self-love often manifests and impacts our
lives. She’ll even give listeners a quick self-love
test and share simple ways to start and end the day
with self-appreciation and gratitude. Joffre McClung
has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs. She’s a
former media producer, independent filmmaker, and the
author of “The Heart of the Matter”. Contact her at

8. ==> What Home Improvement and House Flipping Shows
Don’t Tell You

Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy. A team of experts transforms dumps into
showplaces, seemingly by magic, then sell them for big
profits. But according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works in real life.
“They show ‘before-and-after’ and how much they paid
and sold the house 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.” These show also
don’t tell you why rental properties are better
investments than buy-and-flip properties. 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.” Contact Dan at DLieberman@rtirguests.com;

9. ==> Wedding Traditions That Deserve the Boot

You may be surprised to learn that brides and grooms
are switching up traditions in novel ways—ways culture
and lifestyle expert Suzanne Wexler is eager to fill
you in on. According to Suzanne, one of the biggest
changes is with the ceremony itself, which is
increasingly less formal for millennial couples, taking
place at a barn with guests standing up, at vineyards,
historical museums, libraries, or even boxing rings –
whatever hobby the couple is into. This high-energy and
often-times humorous guest can also talk about big
changes brought about by the “personalized” wedding
trend, where couples are tossing the bouquet toss and
where bridesmaids may no longer wear matching dresses.
She will also share the traditional aspects that have
retained their staying power, including the white dress
and the diamond rings. Her humorous book of memoir
essays, “Desperately Seeking Fabulous,” is due out this
year. Suzanne is published in the Huffington Post,
National Post, Bust.com and her work has been
syndicated throughout Canada. She’s been quoted in
Reader’s Digest, Goodhousekeeping.com, and Prevention
magazine, provided commentary and segments on TV, and
has been a guest on more than 200 radio stations in the

11. ==> Do a Show on Integrity Deficit Disorder: What
is it? Who Has it?

According to Merriam-Webster, one of the definitions of
integrity is “incorruptibility, a firm adherence to a
code of especially moral values.” Sounds pretty
important, doesn’t it? But integrity doesn’t seem to
matter much these days. Just listen to the nightly
news. Enter John Smith, an expert on ethics and
integrity, who unknowingly became part of a fraud
scandal during the Savings and Loan crisis of the
1980’s. He was shocked when he realized that he didn’t
have to commit a crime in order to be convicted of one!
“Our nation is suffering from IDD, or Integrity Deficit
Disorder. The S&L crisis of the 80’s seems like so long
ago, but the lack of integrity and personal
responsibility of individuals in this country hasn’t
gotten any better!” He’ll take your audience through
his incredible true story – and share how he used
perseverance and integrity to rebuild his world. From
the FBI showing up at his front door to his quest for a
Presidential Pardon, his story is stranger than
fiction! John Smith is a keynote speaker on ethics and
integrity in the workplace and in life and the author
of “Embracing the Abyss”. Contact him at (214)

12. ==> How to Reduce Your Pets’ ‘Environmental Paw
Print’

People the world over are aware of how the environment
affects human health and the health of our planet.
According to author and environmental engineer Yasmin
Davar, our pups and kitties need to get on the
sustainability bandwagon for the very same reasons.
“Having a ‘green pet’ is far healthier for the planet,
as well as the pets themselves,” she says. Some
examples are using biodegradable cat litter, cleaning
up your dog’s poop, which can contaminate ground water,
and avoiding plastic food and water bowls, which break
down AND can cause health problems in your dog or cat.
“I would add using biodegradable natural dog shampoos
and conditioners, and food with healthy, natural
ingredients and reduced processing.” Yasmin is the
author of the book Our Peaceful Planet: Healing
Ourselves and the World for a Sustainable Future and
also holds a Master of International Studies in Peace
and Conflict Resolution. Contact Yasmin at
YDavar@rtirguests.com.

13. ==> Why Run a Meeting People Will Dread? Do This
Instead

Chances are you have been to some poorly-run meetings
in your personal or professional life. Maybe those
gatherings (at work with bosses and fellow employees,
in a community setting, with clients or neighbors or
even strangers) were uninspiring or non-welcoming. Even
if you liked your fellow attendees, you couldn’t wait
to escape. So what are the secrets to having the
perfect meeting instead? One that exceeds everyone’s
expectations for productivity and progress? What needs
to be considered to make such a session happen? Find
out when you interview leadership and communication
expert Teruni Lamberg, Ph.D., author of the critically-
praised book “Conducting Productive Meetings: How to
Generate and Communicate Ideas for Innovation.” Whether
she’s talking about agendas and venues, schedules and
speakers, Q&A sessions, facilitation techniques, audio-
visuals or the food and beverages on-hand, Dr. Lamberg
will be as entertaining and informative as the meetings
she helps you envision. Contact Dr. Teruni Lamberg at

14. ==> Smart Tip: Use Life Insurance to Pay Health
Bills

With the state of health care today many people live in
fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
their savings, creating a financial maelstrom from
which their family would never recover. 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 anymore can generate the cash to pay
medical 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;

15. ==> How to Stop Procrastinating . . . TODAY!

It’s so frustrating when you really want to do
something but you keep putting it off. Why do we do
this? Invite Arnoux Goran, author, speaker, and founder
of a unique health education system, to reveal the
causes of procrastination and how to permanently get
rid of it. His successful method to reprogram yourself
has been studied by the University of California,
Irvine, and shown dramatic results. Invite him to tell
your audience why having fun doesn’t necessarily mean
you’re procrastinating, how to stop judging yourself,
and the root cause of your procrastination. His
forthcoming book, “The Answer: How to Change Your Life
and Make Your Dreams Come True”, reveals how to release
negative emotions permanently, reprogram the
unconscious mind, and truly change your life by
addressing the cause of repeating patterns. Goran has

17. ==> Essential Oils: Hype or Help?

The global aromatherapy market is expected to reach
$2.35 billion by 2025. Chances are you have or know
someone who has a diffuser or touts the benefits of
essential oils. Invite clinical health psychologist
Katherine Kelly, Ph.D., to explain how to use essential
oils to help depression, anxiety, grief, emotional
eating, and focus. She’ll share tips and tricks to
using oils, how they can help people struggling with
negativity, low self-esteem, or poor body-image, and

this week for the 50 victims of the two mosque
terrorist attacks carried out during morning prayers
last Friday. Interview Arun Kundnani, author of “The
Muslims are Coming! Islamophobia, Extremism, and the
Domestic War on Terror,” to discuss why Islamophobia
has grown and Muslims and people of color are seen as a
threat to so many. Kundnani writes about racial
capitalism and Islamophobia, surveillance and political
violence, and Black radical movements. His work has
appeared in the Nation, the Guardian, the Washington
Post, Vice, and The Intercept. His articles include

the Batteries of Whiteness: Trump’s New Racial Identity
Politics.” He is currently a visiting assistant
professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU.

2. ==> Gun Expert’s Insights into NZ Mass Shooting

In the aftermath of last week’s deadly mosque shootings
many people are fearful of finding themselves in a
similar public attack. Bring Chris Bird on your show to
educate audiences about gun safety, personal
protection, and thwarting such horrors. His advice on
carrying firearms for self-defense can save lives and
safeguard property, while also neutralizing criminals.
Chris is the author of the best-selling books

3. ==> Like Father, Like Son? Interview Richard Pryor Jr.

Imagine having Richard Pryor as your dad? Invite
Richard Pryor Jr. on your show and hear how his self-
proclaimed “Freakish Life” paralleled his famous
father’s and namesake in many ways. Raised by his
mother and grandparents while his dad was on tour,
Richard Pryor Jr. attended public school in Peoria,
Illinois and spent summers with his father. That’s when
Pryor says he developed his own love of performing,
which he’s been doing in one way or another ever since.
Ask Prior about his grandmother’s brothel, his own
battles with alcohol and drug addiction, what his
father said when he told him he was working as a female
impersonator, how and why he became a minister, and why
he was blamed for his father’s death. Richard Pryor
Jr.’s new book is “In A Pryor Life.” Contact Harlan

4. ==> Will You Be Using Blockchain to Pay Bills Soon?

You may have heard of blockchain, but what exactly is
it? Is it the same as bitcoin? And why do some experts
say we will all soon use a blockchain to pay bills,
manage money, order an Uber, make a hotel reservation
and more? Invite journalist and blockchain expert
Stephen P. Williams to demystify blockchain and explain
its numerous applications as it takes the tech world by
storm. Using plain English, clever stories and
uncomplicated explanations, Williams will explain how

5. ==> The Real Education Scandal: Skewed Housing Market

People are outraged over the recent college admissions
sting that exposed wealthy parents paying for their
child’s admission into elite schools. But education
advocate Derrell Bradford wonders if this behavior is
so reprehensible at the college level, why is it
completely acceptable in K-12 education across this
country? “Indeed, the mortgage to a ‘great’ public school
district routinely dwarfs tuition at any private
school. The $600,000 house that is the cost of
admission to your free, neighborhood public school in
the Northeast makes the bribes paid by many Varsity
Blues offenders seem a comparable pittance,” he says.
“Paying off a college official is bad, but gaining
school access through America’s skewed housing market
is OK? Now is the time for the righteous defenders of
the House-to-Schooling Pipeline to take a long look in
the mirror.” Derrell Bradford is the executive director
of the New York Campaign for Achievement Now (NYCAN).
He frequently contributes to education debates in
print, digital, radio and TV media. Contact Derrell
Bradford at (917) 609-3944; derrell.bradford@50can.org or @Dyrnwyn

6. ==> Moms and Dads Are Cheating… their College Kids

Jane Jenkins Herlong says the wealthy parents involved
in the college admissions scandal 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. “Being denied opportunities can be to
our betterment; it certainly helped me achieve dreams
and goals beyond my imagination and made me the woman I
am today.” Jane 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 her at

8. ==> Can You Have a Concussion with No Symptoms?

“Yes!” says Dr. Paul Wand. “And with spring sports
season upon us, 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! Dr. Wand is a neurologist who specializes
in concussions and how to diagnose and treat them more
quickly and more easily. He’ll explain to your audience
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. Paul Wand, MD, PA has been
a medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the field
of Neurology. Contact him at (954) 743-5380;

9. ==> Help! My Nest is Empty and I Don’t Know What to Do

Eighteen years—or more—is a long time to devote to
raising children. Motherhood is a role women grow into
and when the need to make endless meals, pick up kids
toys and backpacks and deal with adolescent angst goes
away women may find themselves unsure of what comes
next. Lila Reyna gives mothers of grown children
permission to begin living life for themselves. Invite
her on you show to discuss why the transition is so
difficult for many women, three steps women can use to
rediscover their self-worth, how to get your ‘sexy on’
after the kids leave, and why it’s important to view
change as a mindset, not a challenge. Reyna interviewed
more than 50 mothers for her latest book, “Living Life
for You: In Letting Your Kids Go and Be Grown You Can
Rediscover You.” Her previous book, “Street Sense:
Smart Self-Defense for Children,” won a 2016 Parents’
Choice Award from Parents’ Resource Guide. Contact her

10. ==> March is Fraud Prevention Month: Discuss Sexual Fraud

There’s a lot of talk about rape and sexual assault but
not much attention is paid to the issue of sexual
fraud. Invite Joyce Short, often called The Consent
Crusader for her cutting-edge efforts to fight fraud in
sex, to discuss what sexual fraud is and the laws
currently pending in South Carolina and Indiana that
would make “lying to get laid” a crime. She’ll explain
why new laws are needed and what is bringing about the
change. Short has been working with legislators across
the US and around the world to change laws so victims
of sexual fraud can finally seek justice. Short is a
TEDx Talk Presenter and the author of “Carnal Abuse by
Deceit” and “Combating Romance Scams, Why Lying to Get
Laid Is a Crime.” Her new book, “Your Consent: The Key
to Conquering Sexual Assault” will be released later

11. ==> Interview the ‘King of Cash Flow!’

You have probably already heard how important it is to
create passive income for yourself so you can
eventually quit your day job, and better yet, so you
can retire well. Many experts suggest you build a
business or spend your free time searching for deals in
real estate. But Doug Marshall a.k.a. the “King of Cash
Flow” will tell you step-by-step how he has created 9
passive income streams without sacrificing his free
time or family time, and how you can too. He’ll show
you how he got started investing in real estate without
having to quit his job looking for deals or doing the
time-consuming task of being a landlord. Marshall is
the author of “Mastering the Art of Commercial Real
Estate Investing.” Ask him about the 5 questions that
every new investor should answer before investing in
real estate. He’ll even share 4 things he learned from
his “loser” property and much more. Contact Doug
Marshall at dmarshall@rtirguests.com; (503) 563-0971.

12. ==> Why Do Hospital Accidental Deaths Receive No Review?

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the “Don Quixote”
of Health Care Reform. At 85 years young he has been
hounding the five Federal agencies created to solve the
health care crisis in this country for decades. With
over 130 years collectively between those agencies our
health care system is still a mess AND medical errors
leading to deaths in hospitals continues to rise. As
the oldest medical malpractice expert witness in the
country he knows what he’s talking about. He has
developed a system to empower local grassroots
activists in each state to radically change our health
care delivery system. “Everyone is focusing on how to
PAY for health care… when the DELIVERY system is what’s
really broken!” Dr. Williams will tell you why each
state is responsible for our nation’s healthcare
delivery system, what the 3-phase process is that we
need to implement to create a 21st century healthcare
delivery system, and how to organize state wide
grassroots activists that will challenge the current
system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an author, an
experienced surgeon, medical malpractice expert
witness, and an expert in how to improve our healthcare
delivery system. His latest book is “Healthcare
Warriors, Why and How to Become One.” Contact Dr.

13. ==> This MD Can Cure Opioid Addiction without Drugs

As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions,
health professionals primarily rely on drugs like
methadone to cure addiction. But Isaac Alexis, M.D.,
says there are other, natural ways to overcome
addiction that focus on the whole person. “It’s not
just about treating addicts,” he says. “It’s about
treating their environments and families.” Dr. Isaac
adds that treatment must address the emotional trauma
that leads to addiction in the first place, such as
childhood abuse, in order to be successful. He’ll also
share natural, over-the-counter remedies that can
expedite the healing process. Dr. Isaac Alexis
completed an internship in trauma surgery at Cornell
University at New York Hospital of Queens. He served as
medical director at the Department of Justice and is

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 was beaten-up by a cow! But she picked herself up,
dusted herself off and set out on a successful career
as a lady rancher, which became a metaphor for her
life. “Getting older doesn’t mean we have one foot in

19. ==> 25 Ways to Develop a Loving Attitude

Let’s be honest, focusing on love for one day in
February doesn’t really make sense. To really become
more loving, more centered and more spiritually awake
it’s going to take more than that. It’s going to take a
love action plan! Michael McGee, M.D., will share with
your audience his 25 ‘love practices’. “Love is one of
the most confused and misused words in the English

What myths can be busted about the 1%? What lessons can
we learn from them that can help us succeed? When we

make no mistake – we would all rather be them.
Interview Ivan Obolensky to learn more about the myths
surrounding the 1% – and how the lessons he learned
during childhood continue to shape his success today.
His grandfather Serge Obolensky – aka the Prince of New

Ivan has firsthand experience. Misconceptions abound
about their ethics, morals and attitudes. Find out how

=======================================

1. ==> Confronting White Nationalism

After last week’s New Zealand mosque massacre, Shirin
Sinnar, like many other Muslim Americans, grieves the
loss of lives and fears that white nationalist violence
and rhetoric will continue. But as a scholar of
national security law, she also worries that political
leaders in the US will respond with the wrong
solutions. “Ultimately, any serious response to white
nationalist violence must challenge the presidential
rhetoric and policies that embolden its supporters.
Trump’s tweets extending condolences to the people of
New Zealand do nothing in the face of years of hateful
statements and policies directed at Muslims and
immigrants and the promotion of ideas of white
‘cultural threat,’ popular among white nationalists.”
She says, “If members of Congress want to get serious
about right-wing extremism, they should begin by
defunding the Muslim travel ban and overturning Trump’s
veto of national emergency powers to build a border
wall. Rescinding racist policies and holding
accountable the president who issues them will do more
for the security of U.S. racial and religious
communities than misguided attempts to create new
terrorism laws.” Shirin Sinnar is an associate
professor of law and a national security expert at
Stanford Law School. Contact her at
sinnar@law.stanford.edu or (650) 725-0613.

2. ==> New Zealand Shooting Should Not Have Happened

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is promising
a change in gun laws after Friday’s mosque attacks, but
Rebecca Peters says the laws should have been changed
back in the 90s after a mass shooting rocked Port
Arthur, Austraila. Peters, who helped lead the campaign
to reform Australia’s gun laws, says, “Australia’s
comprehensive overhaul of firearm policy after Port
Arthur should also have been applied in New Zealand.
Under our National Firearms Agreement, we banned semi-
auto rifles and shotguns, removed 640,000 of these
weapons from circulation with a buyback, required
registration of all guns and dramatically raised the
standard of screening for a gun license, including the
obligation to prove a legitimate reason. This scheme
was developed under the auspices of the Australasian
Police Ministers Council — Australasian as in Australia
plus New Zealand.” She’ll explain why that never
happened and how the gun lobby has made New Zealand,
and the US, less safe. Rebecca Peters is with the
International Action Network on Small Arms. She just
wrote the piece “‘It didn’t have to be this way’: how
the gun lobby made NZ less safe” for the Sydney Morning
Herald. Contact her at rebecca.peters101@gmail.com,

3. ==> If You Choose to Carry a Gun

On the flip-side, some people are motivated to consider
gun ownership for their own protection and peace of
mind in the aftermath of a terrorist attack. Bring
Chris Bird on your show to educate audiences about the
types, sizes and features of firearms for self-defense
that can save lives and safeguard property, while also
neutralizing criminals. Chris is a sought-after expert
on gun rights and personal protection, whose best-
selling books include “Surviving a Mass Killer Rampage”
and “The Concealed Handgun Manual” (new edition). As
your guest, Chris will reveal which requisite skills,
safety practices, and methods of observation help you
avoid trouble and be safer, no matter where you and
your family are. Chris (with 30+ years of firearm
experience and safety usage) will share amazing stories
of people who said “Thank God I had a gun!” — plus
must-know truths about surviving, halting and even
preventing mass killings, home invasions, muggings and
rapes. Contact Chris Bird at (210) 686-4440;
cbird@rtirguests.com

4. ==> White Women and America’s Slave Economy

In the work of many historians, southern white women
have been depicted as naïve, marginal, or reluctant
participants in the system of slavery, shielded by men
from its ugliest and most brutal aspects. But historian
Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers argues the opposite—many
slave-owning women were sophisticated economic actors
who directly engaged in the South’s slave market.
Invite her on your show and hear how white women
actively invested in and benefited from slavery, and
how their participation had a major impact on enslaved
people, the institution of slavery, and American
capitalism. She says understanding white women’s direct
investment in slavery and their deep stake in its
perpetuation helps us grasp why many white women—and
their descendants—sought to uphold and actively
participate in a white supremacist order after the war.
Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers is assistant professor of
history at the University of California, Berkeley and a
2018-2019 Harrington Faculty Fellow at the University
of Texas, Austin where she is teaching this semester.
She is the author of “They Were Her Property: White
Women as Slave Owners in the America South.” Contact

5. ==> The Green New Deal’s Socialist Roots

Nationally recognized property rights advocate Tom
DeWeese asserts that as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
promotes the Green New Deal, Americans are waking up to
the realization that this radical plan is simply a
recycled Agenda 21 program. Invite him on your show to
highlight the parallels between these programs. DeWeese
says, “The label Green New Deal has circulated among
globalists for years, they have handed it to an
inexperienced bartender from New York who became an
overnight media sensation. That doesn’t just happen.
Ocasio-Cortez is a created product. They needed her
inexperienced enthusiasm to shill a program that no
established politician would touch.” Tom DeWeese is a
speaker and nationally recognized property rights
advocate who has debated at Cambridge University. He is
the president of the American Policy Center and the
author of many books including, “Sustainable: The WAR
on Free Enterprise, Private Property and Individuals”.
DeWeese has been featured by Fox News, the New York
Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post,
the Washington Times, and other media nationwide.

6. ==> Trump is Right: CNN is Biased!

President Trump loves to tweet about CNN’s biased
reporting—particularly against him. Nita Wiggins will
tell you why Trump’s viewpoint now has an unusual ally:
black journalists who are calling out the network for
its bias in promoting them. Nita can talk about the
charges leveled against CNN by the largest group of
black journalists in the U.S.–the National Association
of Black Journalists (NABJ). Nita will say the charges
represent yet another hit on the credibility of news
organizations. During her 21 years as a TV reporter and
anchor, Nita witnessed bias against black reporters and
female reporters from Augusta, Georgia to Seattle,
Washington, to Dallas, Texas. Nita is a member of the
NABJ who teaches journalism in Paris, France. In her
upcoming book, “Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race,
Sports, and Breaking Barriers in American Journalism,”
she writes about the unfairness that happens off-camera
in TV stations. Contact her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

7. ==> Retirement Rebels: How to Write Your Next
Chapter

Every day, 10,000 baby boomers join the ranks of
retired people. But unlike previous generations, they
are more likely to bring to their next chapters more
passion, more talent, and more energy than generations
that came before them. Invite Marilyn Bushey and Gail
McDonald, co-authors of “Retirement Your Way,” to
discuss the new ‘Retirement Rebels’ who are questioning
the assumptions that many of us hold about retirement.
“What we have found,” says Bushey, “Is that we have
many more lifestyle choices than we may have expected
and that the retirement journey is also likely to be a
more emotional journey than people would imagine. Our
choices often boil down to what we let go, what we add
and what we keep in our lives.” McDonald and Bushey,
who are executive coaches, interviewed friends,
colleagues and acquaintances in advance of their own
next chapters and developed a unique, seven-step
CHOICES Roadmap. Together they’ve written “Retirement
Your Way: The No-Stress Roadmap for Designing Your Next
Chapter.” Contact Marilyn Bushey at (972) 824-5954;

inviting Marlena Uhrik to explain how a small
investment in proper home staging can sell your
property faster, and for more money. You’ll learn why a
wall-to-wall empty home, even with outstanding curb
appeal, can lose the attention of prospective buyers

placed furniture will literally help people envision
themselves and their own possessions at home there.”

9. ==> Why Run a Meeting People Will Dread? Do This
Instead

Chances are you have been to some poorly-run meetings
in your personal or professional life. Maybe those
gatherings (at work with bosses and fellow employees,
in a community setting, with clients or neighbors or
even strangers) were uninspiring or non-welcoming. Even
if you liked your fellow attendees, you couldn’t wait
to escape. So what are the secrets to having the
perfect meeting instead? One that exceeds everyone’s
expectations for productivity and progress? What needs
to be considered to make such a session happen? Find
out when you interview leadership and communication
expert Teruni Lamberg, Ph.D., author of the critically-
praised book “Conducting Productive Meetings: How to
Generate and Communicate Ideas for Innovation.” Whether
she’s talking about agendas and venues, schedules and
speakers, Q&A sessions, facilitation techniques, audio-
visuals or the food and beverages on-hand, Dr. Lamberg
will be as entertaining and informative as the meetings
she helps us envision. Prepare to learn about the best
meeting you could ever coordinate or attend! Contact

10. ==> You’ve Got 8 Seconds: Communication Secrets for
a Distracted World

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” (AMACOM).

11. ==> Is It Your Fault You Can’t Find Love?

We all want to find that special someone to spend the
rest of our lives with but do you keep ending up in
failed relationships? Could it actually be your fault?
Invite Arnoux Goran, author, speaker, and the world’s
#1 expert in personal transformation, to reveal why you
might be getting in your own way when it comes to
finding your soul mate. He can share the three simple

12. ==> Does a Good Marriage Depend on Good Sex?

Spring is here and so is engagement and wedding season.
That makes it the perfect time to talk about sex and
marriage. Just how important is sex to a marriage?
Should couples expect to have daily sex? Can couples
form a strong bond without a robust sex life? Is
viewing pornography a form of cheating? Discussing this
topic with you will be René and Gloria Vallières, a
couple who have been married nearly 50 years who
authored the new book “Radical Sex: God’s Foundation
for a Healthy Marriage.” René was a pastor in The

13. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, mental illness and his bandmate
brothers and cousin Mike Love. But for the first time,
his former bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin
has come forward with his riveting behind-the-scenes
story. Rocky is a former NFL player who was a college
roommate and best friends with Stan Love, brother of
Mike Love and former player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted to serve as
bodyguards for Brian, who was on a death spiral. After
years of keeping silent, Rocky wrote “The Beach Boys
Endless Wave: Inside America’s Band,” with co-author
Ron Hamady, a veteran of the music and film industries.
“I realized that Rocky had been where no one had ever
been,” Ron says. “It was a monumental time for the
band. There have been plenty of books on the Beach
Boys. But no one has ever been behind the scenes.”

14. ==> What’s Behind the Beatles’ Staying Power?

Ringo and Paul are still touring and Paul has had 38
million hits and counting on “Carpool Karaoke.” What is
perhaps even more remarkable is the band’s “White
Album” made it into the Billboard Top 10 50 years after
its release! This timeless group remains a favorite of

15. ==> Drowning in a Sea of Chronic Illness – a
Surprising Lifeboat

We’re a nation drowning in a sea of illness. Six in 10
adults in the US lives with a chronic disease. 43
million experience mental illness in a given year, and
suicide is the third leading cause of death in our
youth. Pop singer/songwriter, playwright, author,
filmmaker Lisa Sniderman (Aoede) can discuss how art
became her lifeboat while battling a progressive muscle
disease for 11 years. “Living and coping with chronic
illness can be isolating. It can leave you questioning
your self-worth and identity and feeling hopeless.
Creativity can help those struggling to thrive, be
visible and dream!” Lisa has been honored with more
than 55 awards and considered multiple times for a
GRAMMY all while struggling with a rare, chronic
illness. She’ll discuss her experience of how illness
can affect mental and physical states and
relationships, and how she’s found ways to create, even
with limited energy. An inspirational artist and guest,
Lisa Sniderman is the author of “A Light in the
Darkness: Transcending Chronic Illness through the
Power of Art and Attitude.” Contact her at (415)

16. ==> This Psychiatrist Says Women Will 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, 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!” Dr. 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.

17. ==> How to Reduce Your Pets’ ‘Environmental Paw
Print’

People the world over are aware of how the environment
affects human health and the health of our planet.
According to author and environmental engineer Yasmin
Davar, our pups and kitties need to get on the
sustainability bandwagon for the very same reasons.
“Having a ‘green pet’ is far healthier for the planet,
as well as the pets themselves,” she says. Some
examples are using biodegradable cat litter, cleaning
up your dog’s poop, which can contaminate ground water,
and avoiding plastic food and water bowls, which break
down AND can cause health problems in your dog or cat.
“I would add using biodegradable natural dog shampoos
and conditioners, and food with healthy, natural
ingredients and reduced processing.” Yasmin is the
author of “Our Peaceful Planet: Healing Ourselves and
the World for a Sustainable Future.” She also holds a
Master of International Studies in Peace and Conflict
Resolution. Contact Yasmin at YDavar@rtirguests.com.

=======================================

1. ==> Growing Calls to Ground Boeing Planes in US

Dozens of countries — including all EU member states,
China and India — and multiple airlines around the
world have grounded the Boeing 737 Max 8 following
Sunday’s deadly crash in Ethiopia. Here at home, there
are growing calls on the FAA to do the same. It’s the
2nd fatal accident involving the plane in the past five
months and has claimed a total of 346 lives. “Lion Air
crashed in October 2018 after pilots were unable to
override an automatic control system that was not
clearly disclosed by Boeing to airlines and pilots.
Although it is too early to identify the cause of
Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines crash, early signs point to
the same problem,” says Flyersrights.org president Paul
Hudson. “The FAA’s ‘wait and see’ attitude risks lives
as well as the safety reputation of the U.S. aviation
industry. Even assuming this design defect should not
by itself take the aircraft out of service, the failure
to warn airlines and pilots of the new feature, and the
inadequacy of training requirements, necessitate an
immediate temporary grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX 8.”
Paul Hudson is president of Flyersrights.org, the
nation’s largest airline passenger organization, and
has been a member of FAA’s Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee since 1993. Contact him at
paul@flyersrights.org; @flyersrights

2. ==> Is Streaming Bad News for Hollywood?

Nearly 60 percent of Americans have some form of
streaming service and Meredith Jordan says Netflix’ big
night at the Oscars this year magnified how it’s
disrupting modern-media consumption. “Most studios
don’t have a platform that enables instantaneous,
worldwide release,” says author Meredith Jordan, whose
book, “Below The Line: Anatomy of a Successful Movie”
provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the making of
an A-list Hollywood film. “The issue isn’t whether
Netflix can compete as a studio. It just needs to
compete as a studio, without using the tools of its
larger streaming business.” Iconic film director Steven
Spielberg is pushing for a rule change that would
prevent Netflix from duplicating the statues it got in
February in next year’s Academy Awards. The Netflix
film Roma took home three Oscars. Meredith Jordan
worked for east coast news organizations for 25 years,
including Dow Jones & Co., Cox Communications and
National Geographic. Contact Miguel Casellas-Gil at

gil@newsandexperts.com

3. ==> Is this the Luckiest or Unluckiest Irishman
Ever?

This Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day, and while everyone
celebrates the Irish with parades, parties, and pints
of adult beverages, consider the luck of the Irish when
it comes to Joe Patrick Lafferty. While many might
disagree, he believes he’s the luckiest man this side
of the Blarney stone. Joe has survived cancer,
diabetes, vision loss, a pulmonary embolism, kidney
failure, heart surgery, a double organ transplant and
seven minutes of death. Joe has led an active, sports-
filled life. He’s played high school and college
football, worked for three D-1A athletic departments,
the Orange Bowl and the Dallas Cowboys. He’s also
coached 14 seasons of high school football, including
15 future NFL players. Invite him on your program to
discuss his new book, “Justin Time: A Memoir of Faith
and the Fight for Life,” a Forest Gump-like true story
of personal interactions with some of the biggest
celebrities over the last 30 years. Joe is also a
member of the Donate Life Hollywood board and says
while most Americans believe in organ donation, only
about half register as organ donors. Contact Joe
Lafferty at (412) 897-1313; joelafferty@me.com

4. ==> Spring Equinox Challenge: Balance an Egg!

Celebrate next week’s Spring Equinox by inviting urban
shaman Mama Donna Henes to discuss her upcoming 44th
Spring Equinox Egg Balancing Celebration next
Wednesday, March 20th. The annual rite of spring
happens at the precise equinox moment, this year at
5:55 PM, when the sun crosses the equator into the
Northern Hemisphere and it’s possible to balance an egg
upright. Henes says, “The egg represents the life force
in many cultures, and is particularly used to symbolize
the rebirth of nature in the spring season. According
to Chinese custom, if you stand an egg on its end on
the first day of spring, you will have eggsceptionally
good luck for the entire year.” Henes can also discuss
why this year’s equinox is an especially auspicious
occasion and how to use the equalizing energy to help
restore your equilibrium. Donna Henes is a ceremonial
artist, urban shaman, ritual expert and consultant,
speaker, workshop leader and the author of “Celestially
Auspicious Occasions: Seasons, Cycles and
Celebrations.” Contact her at cityshaman@aol.com; (718)
857-1343.

5. ==> Monday, March 18th is Forgive Mom and Dad Day

Many people have bad childhoods. But what makes Wade
Meadows remarkable is how he was able to forgive both
parents, his mentally unstable mother who constantly
reminded him that he was worthless because he was born
on Friday the 13th and his workaholic father who was
unable to protect him. This Monday, March 18th is
Forgive Mom & Dad Day, a day aimed at bringing closure
to people whose upbringings left much to be desired.
Invite Wade on air to explain how he was able to open
his heart when his mother needed a caregiver, how he
manages to live a hopeful life despite a chaotic
childhood and how he was able to break his family’s
cycle of abuse to raise happy, successful children and
be a loving marriage partner. Wade is the author of
“Letters From the Ashes” and “Ashes Forged Into
Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697;
WMeadows@rtirguests.com

6. ==> Wild Predator Attacks on Humans – More Frequent,
More Deadly

Have you noticed the number of recent animal attacks on
unsuspecting people? Hikers are being injured by
mountain lions, wolves and even white-tail deer in
forests nationwide. Coyotes are invading homes,
backyards and campsites. Bears are attacking people in
Yellowstone and other parks while alligators are
drowning dog-walkers and little children in broad
daylight! What’s causing all these wild animal attacks?
And how can we protect themselves? Get answers and
learn valuable safety tips, especially for colder
months, from nature expert Bruce Hemming. Bruce will
reveal where people are most in danger these days, how
laws that limit hunting and trapping are backfiring,
and how to revamp the animal conservation system to
lesson these attacks and home invasions. Invite
listeners to call in with their own stories of
confrontations with dangerous wild creatures. Bruce is
the author of “4 Seconds Until Impact: The Skyrocketing
Attacks by Predators on Humans”. Contact him at (484)

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

Mention the IRS and millions of Americans get fearful
and even angry. Anything about taxation and reconciling
our tax obligation feels challenging, complicated and
stressful. And that happens in years when our
government does not shut down! 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 when he reveals how the Internal
Revenue Service is staffed by slow-moving staff using
antiquated technology. As your on-air guest, Green will
answer questions like: What types of IRS
miscommunication and lack of cooperation happen? How do
taxpayers miss out because of such poor service? Are
decisions for audits fair? What about mismanaged funds
in this year of tax “reform?” What other negatives can
we expect? Only someone like Green, who’s seen it
firsthand, can blow the whistle on the chaotic IRS.
Richard Green is the author of “Agents of Deceit”.

8. ==> Do a Show on Integrity Deficit Disorder: What is
it? Who Has it?

According to Merriam-Webster, one of the definitions of
integrity is “incorruptibility, a firm adherence to a
code of especially moral values.” Sounds pretty
important, doesn’t it? But integrity doesn’t seem to
matter much these days. Just listen to the nightly
news. Enter John Smith, an expert on ethics and
integrity, who unknowingly became part of a fraud
scandal during the Savings and Loan crisis of the
1980s. He was shocked when he realized that he didn’t
have to commit a crime in order to be convicted of one!
“Our nation is suffering from IDD, or Integrity Deficit
Disorder. The S&L crisis of the 80’s seems like so long
ago, but the lack of integrity and personal
responsibility of individuals in this country hasn’t
gotten any better!” He’ll take your audience through
his incredible true story – and share how he used
perseverance and integrity to rebuild his world. From
the FBI showing up at his front door to his quest for a
presidential pardon, his story is stranger than
fiction! John Smith is a keynote speaker on ethics and
integrity in the workplace and in life, and the author
of “Embracing the Abyss”. Contact him at (214)

9. ==> Ever Worry That Someday You’ll Run Out of Money?
Do this…

You know those TV commercials that ask people how much
money they think they’ll need to save over their
lifetime in order to retire comfortably? Their
response? A bewildered, “Beats me!” The truth is, if
your investments are in stocks, bonds, precious metals
or other commodities there is no way of knowing for
sure. Not so with real estate. “Once the cash flow from
your rental properties, coupled with your future Social
Security checks, consistently and significantly exceeds
your monthly personal expenses, you’ll never have to
worry about outliving your money,” says Doug Marshall,
author of “Mastering the Art of Commercial Real Estate
Investing.” Marshall created 9 streams of passive
income for himself through real estate, without having
to quit his job or spend his own time looking for
deals. He’ll show your listeners how they can create
passive income without giving up their free time and
share three not-so-obvious reasons why investing in
real estate is far superior to any other type of
investment. Contact him at dmarshall@rtirguests.com;

10. ==> Want to Change Your Life? Start by Changing
Your Hair!

Feeling like you’re not on track for where you really
want to be going in life? Then you need to hear about
Katherine Webster’s humorous but highly effective
challenge for reinventing your life in the next seven
days. Step 1: Get a brand new hairstyle. Why? To
paraphrase Coco Chanel, the person who changes their
hair is about to change their life. Webster knows what
she’s talking about. Suddenly widowed in her late 40s,
she had to take specific actions to find her joy,
confidence and completely reinvent her life. She’ll
reveal something new you can do every day to
turbocharge your reinvention i.e. go out on the town
all by yourself or start a new hobby that shocks your
friends. Her tips are simple, fun and they work!
Katherine Webster is the author of “Becoming Madam
Widow” and her tips can help any man, woman or child
who wants to add more extraordinary to their life.

11. ==> How to Stop Procrastinating . . . TODAY!

12. ==> 3 Steps to Making a Big Decision

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 as she likes
to call it, “choice-making”. 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 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 book, “Hypothesis: An HPV
Healing Experiment”, outlines a three-step process she
created to help heal herself. Contact Terrie at (503)

13. ==> Take this ‘Before You Get Out of Bed’
Challenge!

Do this one little thing before you get out of bed each
day, and you will experience more joy, confidence and
productivity. It only takes 2-3 minutes and has been
proven to help people dramatically shift their lives.
It’s not mediation, visualizing or goal setting.
Cathleen Lamberton, a coach and emotional fitness
trainer, gives this powerful challenge to her clients
and it has revolutionized their lives: before your feet
hit the floor, write down ten things you’re grateful
for. Do this every day for ten days and watch how it
completely shifts your perspective and your feelings
before you even head to the bathroom. She’ll explain
why this simple exercise is so powerful, along with
specific examples of how it has transformed people from
all walks of life, including a woman in a miserable
marriage and a veteran suffering from PTSD. Contact
Cathleen Lamberton at (802) 613-0678;
clamberton@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Why Your Safety Nets Aren’t Keeping You Safe at
All

Are you a control freak? Do you find yourself judging
others? Do you feel the need to always be right? Or be
liked? Joffre McClung calls these our ‘safety nets’;
behaviors we develop as kids to help us deal with the
world. According to Joffre, “These safety nets become
our go-to behaviors. They’re not about who you are,
they’re about how you see the world and what you
decided you must do to be safe and feel loved.” Invite
Joffre on your show and learn the fears and beliefs
behind the most common safety nets, how safety nets can
run your life without you even realizing it, and what
happens when you’re finally net-free and move through
the world rooted in self-love. 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 takes the esoteric and brings it
back down to earth with a big dose of common sense. Her
latest book is “The Heart of the Matter.” Contact her
at (917) 994-0225 (TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com

15. ==> What’s in a Name? Your Fate in Life!

16. ==> Funny Questions Little Boys Ask about Sex

Do mommies poop out babies? Do spiders move into a
woman’s vagina after she has a baby? If I want to have
children someday do my wife and I have to have sex?
Little boys love to ask questions about sex and some of
them are so outrageous that you can’t help but laugh.
No one knows this better than Diane Auten, author of
“The Joys of Raising Boys: the Good, the Bad, and the
Hilarious.” A professor and communication expert, she
wrote down the crazy questions her sons Bradley and
Nate asked in the first ten years of their lives and
recorded the conversations that ensued after she
answered them. Your audience will learn that kids are
paying attention to what they hear and see—including TV
commercials for Viagra. Diane frequently speaks to
parents about communicating more effectively with their
kids. Reach her at (805) 215-1324;
DAuten@rtirguests.com

17. ==> Why Is There So Much Hate in the U.S.?

Hardly a day goes by in which we don’t hear about
workplace shootings, racial tensions, road rage
incidents, immigration hysteria, and heated rhetoric
from the left and the right. When did America go from
being the land of the free to the land of the haters?
And who or what is enabling them? Media veteran Emily
Slingluff says, “Don’t blame politicians … blame
parents!” Invite her on air to explain what parents
must stop doing if we are going to once again have a
civil country. A child-rearing expert, Emily is the
author of multiple books including “A Present to the
Newborn.” Contact her at (757) 428-6167;

18. ==> This Scientist Says He Can Prove That God
Exists

While science and religion have long been considered
mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
his good fortune in his life. 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. In addition, he has just
become a first-time author of a well-received book that
reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith
comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
physics has proven the existence of a power or force
beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by
applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his
daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they
never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but
powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is
the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness:
Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within”. Contact

Bucket List with a ‘Trash It’ List

While growing up dirt poor on a farm in rural South
Carolina, Jane Jenkins Herlong had to learn how to
trash negative thoughts and people in order to become a
successful woman. “I learned to throw away negative
talk and train my brain to be positive in order tackle
insurmountable odds,” she says. Jane went from being a
homely, bullied farm girl to the Miss America pageant,
singing at Radio City Music Hall, getting inducted into
the Speaker Hall of Fame, becoming a Sirius XM comedian
and best-selling author. “I believe you, too, can set
your best goals and take a shot if you throw out the
trash in your life!” Jane is the author of numerous

1. ==> Trump & Fox News: Too Close to State TV

The current occupant of the White House is certainly
not the first to have a close relationship with the
media, but Nicole Hemmer says the relationship between
Donald Trump and Fox News is distinctly different,
bringing the channel closer to state television than
anything the United States has ever known. She says,
“Despite all the ways journalists and presidents have
coordinated in the past, none comes even close to the
symbiosis between Fox News and Donald Trump. Not even
Fox News has been so in bed with a White House before.”
She adds, “While the channel has always been firmly
Republican — Roger Ailes was an adviser to Republican
presidents from Richard Nixon to George H.W. Bush
before launching Fox News — it did not have the
wholesale influence over George W. Bush that it has
over Trump—and vice versa.” Hemmer believes the
relationship is blurring the lines between news and
propaganda and inflicting harm on democratic norms.
Nicole Hemmer is an expert on the history of American
politics and media. She is an assistant professor in
presidential studies at the Miller Center at the
University of Virginia and the author of “Messengers of
the Right: Conservative Media and the Transformation of
American Politics.” She hosts the history podcast “Past

3. ==> Women’s History Month: Narcissa Prentiss Whitman

For a fascinating show that touches on women’s history
and our current polarized society, invite Debra
Gwartney to share the story of Narcissa Prentiss
Whitman, the first European-American missionary to
cross the Rocky Mountains and arrive at Fort Walla
Walla, Washington in 1836. Gwartney will discuss the
similarities between the pioneer women of the 1840s and
her own situation growing up in the 1950s, and the
unprecedented polarization – present then and now –
that has become part of our communities. She’ll
explore issues facing many Americans today, including:
If you question the political beliefs you were raised
with, are you still welcome at home? Where do you
belong? How can Americans be true to their beliefs –
Conservative or Progressive — and still feel they
belong in the communities they love? A professor at
Pacific University, Debra Gwartney is the author of “I
am a Stranger Here Myself”. She grew up in Salmon,
Idaho and now lives on the upper McKenzie River on the

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

Beach Boys fans have long known of brilliant yet
troubled Brian Wilson’s slide into the abyss of drugs
and mental illness. But what a lot of them don’t know
is how former NFL player “Rocky” Pamplin helped to save
him from himself. Rocky was college roommates with Stan
Love, brother of Beach Boys’ lead singer Mike Love. In
the mid-1970s, Stan and Rocky were hired to be full-
time bodyguards for Brian Wilson. “Brian was a 315-
pound recluse who was a paranoid schizophrenic,” Rocky
says. “Stan said, ‘Don’t think you are going to meet a
clean cut Beach Boy.’ He was scary.” While much has
been written about Rocky, Stan and their tumultuous
two-and-a-half years with Brian, this is the first time
that Rocky has come forward to reveal the behind-the-
scene details of his relationship with the Beach Boys.
He is the co-author of the book “The Beach Boys Endless
Wave: Inside America’s Band”, along with film producer,
writer and director Ron Hamady. Contact Mike Vezo at

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

“Yes!” says Dr. Paul Wand. “And with spring sports
around the corner many parents are wondering how to
keep their kids safe from sports injuries – mostly
concussion-related.” Many parents don’t 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! Interview Dr. Wand, a neurologist who
specializes in concussions and how to diagnose and
treat them more quickly and more easily. He’ll explain
to your listeners how your child, or you for that

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’re told
they are perfectly fine when in reality, they aren’t.

challenge, relationship issues with loved ones, and
powerful social change. And they could all use advice
and been-there insights from someone who understands.

psychologist Pratibha Eastwood, whose real-life journey

Americans know about such Middle Eastern crises? Ask
Pratibha (and invite callers) to explore: what led her

16. ==> Get ‘Marriage Fit’ Before Walking Down the
Aisle

When we want to get into top physical shape, we adjust
our diets and lifestyles and hit the gym. Pastor Eric
Hawthorne says that the same principles can be applied
to preparing for marriage, and can share his tips for
“marriage fitness” that can help newly and long-married
couples to keep their bonds strong, and enable their
unions to last. “I had a series at my church that
taught people how to get ready for marriage,” he says.
“People rarely take the time to determine their role in
a marriage. This is why there are so many divorces.”
Eric should know. He is a divorced single dad to two
young boys who has learned from his mistakes, and he
can share how to navigate the pitfalls he and his ex-
wife had to overcome. Eric is the second-generation
pastor of Daystar Deliverance Ministries in Richardson,
Texas, and the author of the upcoming book “Are You
Ready for Marriage?” Contact him at

17. ==> Why Gillette’s #MeToo Ad Infuriates Men

When the Gillette Razor ad that invokes the #MeToo
movement first aired, its focus on bullying and toxic
masculinity created a huge controversy and angered a
lot of men, particularly older ones. “Society has
changed a lot in the last few decades,” says Curt
Lindsley, founder of the nonprofit domestic violence
awareness organization Go Purple USA. “A lot of baby
boomers grew up in a sexist culture. Women are taking
over jobs traditionally held by males. Some no doubt
were up in arms about the ad because the macho,
insensitive guy stereotyped may have hit a little too
close to home.” This is just one of the many factors
that contributes to domestic violence. Curt can share
how community groups, nonprofits and society overall
can get involved to stop this epidemic. In addition to
his work with Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go Purple
Awareness Day (Oct. 1), he is also the co-founder of
the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force. Contact
