=======================================
1. ==> Is the Nuke Race On Again?
President Trump wants to dump the decades-old
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia.
He says the Russians have been violating the agreement
for years and it puts the US at a disadvantage with
China’s missile arsenal. Alice Slater, New York
Director of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, says the
United States and Russia are in an unholy struggle to
keep the nuclear arms race going. “Now is an
opportunity to take a time-out on nuclear gamesmanship,
new threats, trillions of wasted dollars … on weapons
systems that Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev
acknowledged, back in 1987 at the end of the Cold War,
could never be used, warning that ‘A nuclear war cannot
be won and must never be fought.’” Slater serves on the
Coordinating Committee of World Beyond War. She wrote
the piece “The International Campaign to Abolish
Nuclear Weapons Is Honored with a Nobel Peace Prize”
for The Nation. Contact her at alicejslater@gmail.com
2. ==> Behind the Music: The Cars & Benjamin Orr
The iconic 70s rock group The Cars has sold over 30
million albums worldwide and earned 15 Top 40 hits.
Journalist Joe Milliken, author of “Let’s Go! Benjamin
Orr and the Cars,” interviewed more than 20 family
members, friends, bandmates, and music associates from
Orr’s life to provide an intimate portrait of one of
classic rock’s great talents. Often considered the
band’s heartthrob, Orr possessed an incredible voice,
diverse musical talent and rare stage presence, all
balanced by a magnetic, yet enigmatic personality,
striking good looks, and a relentless determination to
reach rock stardom. Ben Orr passed away in October 2000
at the age of 53 from pancreatic cancer. The Cars were
inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April
2018. Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer at (703) 646-5137;
johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.
3. ==> Documentary Filmmaker on ‘Restoring Tomorrow’
Aaron Wolf’s new documentary ‘Restoring Tomorrow’ is
getting rave reviews, just qualified for Oscar
nomination and premieres across the country on Nov.
13th. The documentary begins with snapshots of holy
sites that have fallen into disrepair, and camera pans
across pews and podiums covered in cobwebs and plastic
sheets. Invite Wolf on your show to discuss what
inspired him to make the movie as well as what he
learned during the process including what’s happening
to churches and houses of worship across the world as
people walk away from organized religion, and what
affect that has on communities and families. Contact
Jason Jones at (512) 720-2996; jason@jonesliterary.com
4. ==> Zach Holmes from MTV’s ‘Too Stupid to Die’
Zach Holmes, the star of MTV’s buzzy new series Too
Stupid to Die, heads up a crew of knuckleheads in rural
Indiana who perform outrageous stunts and hilarious
(and usually dangerous) pranks for their own amusement.
Zach became an online sensation with his videos over
the last decade (which included dropping a washing
machine from a second-story window onto one end of a
see-saw so the other end hits him in the crotch).
Beginning November 2nd, MTV viewers will have the
chance to watch Zach and his crew perform their insane
antics — from taking rat traps to the face to drilling
a metal rod through his earlobe – proving that they’re
“Too Stupid to Die.” Contact John Angelo at
john@premieretv.com
5. ==> How Many Sexopaths Have Been in the White House?
The #MeToo movement has demonstrated that sociopathic
sex addicts—also known as sexopaths—are frequently
found in positions of power. But how many sexopaths
have been in the White House? Using her Sexopath
Spotting Tool, Nicole Kelly, M.D., will discuss the
current and former White House occupants and whether
they qualify. She can also answer such questions as
what is the definition of a sexopath? Does being a
sexopath or sociopath make you more successful? Why
are sexopaths attracted to power? Kelly is a board-
certified physician who was victimized by a sociopathic
sex addict who embezzled over $700,000 from her medical
practice. Her book “Charming Cheaters: Protect Yourself
from the Sociopaths, Psychopaths, and Sexopaths in Your
Life” comes out in November. Reach her at (615)

6. ==> Catholic Priest Helps Lost Souls Cross Over
Over the past 20 years, Nathan G. Castle, OP, says he
has helped at least 250 people who died suddenly adjust
to the afterlife. Victims of fires, automobile
accidents, shootings, stabbings and drownings come to
him in his dreams seeking help for resolving their
Interrupted Death Experiences™. Father Nathan has come
to believe that providing this help is something the
Holy Spirit has given him to do. He’ll describe the
unusual work he does with people who were conscious and
healthy one moment and dead the next. “It can be a huge
shock to the system and people can shut down,” he says.
He is quick to point out that not everyone who dies
suddenly gets stuck. Ask him: How does he help people
cross over? How did he assist Patrick Swayze’s deceased
sister? Do deceased relatives help us adjust to moving
through our own deaths? Nathan Castle has been a
Catholic priest of the semi-contemplative Dominican
Order since 1979. His new book is “Afterlife,
Interrupted: Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over.” Contact
him at (480) 650-5592; nathancastleop@gmail.com
7. ==> Harness the Powerful Intuitive Meaning Behind
Nightmares
As Halloween approaches do our nightmares increase? Are
there really valuable intuitive messages in our
nightmares? Intuitive expert and spiritual psychic Nora
Truscello reveals that nightmares are actually good for
us. Behind nightmares and those sexually charged dreams
nobody wants to wake from, are intuitive messages meant
to assist you? Invite her to reveal the hidden secrets
behind our dreams and how much control we have over
what we dream, if we even dream at all. Her latest
book, The Science of Intuition, reveals techniques
designed to make intuition an accessible,
understandable, everyday occurrence. Truscello has been
featured by various radio shows. Contact her at (302)

8. ==> Why You Should Embrace Fear
In this season of fright and fear, you might wonder who
would willingly embrace fear? Dr. Dee Carroll says we
all should! “By facing our fears instead of running
from them, we can not only minimize them but strengthen
ourselves to face, and overcome, even bigger
challenges. Through this refining process, we not only
become clearer about our goals in life but also
emotionally stronger and better equipped to handle
whatever life sends our way.” Dr. Carroll can discuss
why you should welcome fear, how to use negative
emotions to your advantage and how to use adversity as
a catalyst for success. Dr. Dee Carroll has used huge
emotional and financial difficulties in her own life to
propel herself toward success and to help others
overcome their own challenges. A speaker, coach and
consultant with degrees in psychology and business
administration and management, Dr. Dee has testified
before the U.S. Senate Committee on Housing and Urban
Affairs and has been featured on CNN, Fortune 500, News
Talk 1450 AM, WOLB AM News Radio, and other media
nationwide. “Emotional Emancipation: Step into Your
Freedom, Reinvent Your Challenges and Move Beyond” is
her new book. Contact her at (301) 587-0700;
drdeecarroll@gmail.com
9. ==> She’s a Real-Life ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’
“Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” recently won seven Emmy awards
including best comedy series and lead actress in a
comedy series. The series which takes place in 1953
chronicles the fictional Midge’s Maisel’s emergence as
a boundary-pushing comedienne. In a fun interview, have
Paloma Capanna—who was born in 1966—offer your audience
at least five reasons why she is a real-life version of
Maisel. Paloma can also talk about what Mrs. Maisel
would have in common with Jack Kerouac and what it’s
like to open yourself up to a room full of people,
putting into words feelings they can’t articulate
themselves. With decades of experience on the open-mic
circuit, Paloma is a civil rights attorney turned
writer. Her first book is “Nearly Fifty: A Collection
of Essays.” Reach her at (315) 584-2929;

10. ==> Why Single Moms Get Stuck in their Careers
According to Pew Research, in 2013 women were the
primary breadwinners in 40 percent of American
households, and in a vast majority of those households
the breadwinner was a single mother. However, another
statistic stands out for author, blogger and single
mother Sara Sherman: 80 percent of single mothers do
not have the education they need to advance in their
careers. A former welfare mother, Sherman encourages
other mothers to earn a diploma, learn a trade, get a
degree and advance their careers by giving them the
steps they need to do precisely that. Sherman wrote
“The Single Mom’s Guide to Getting a Degree” and its
companion workbook to answer the question she was often
asked: How did she go to school, work, raise her kids,
and get an education all at the same time … as a single
parent? Sherman hopes her books will inspire other
single moms to go back to school as she did; she earned
a B.A. in public relations and an M.A. in public
administration while holding down a demanding job with
a long commute. She also made time to volunteer at her
children’s school and to be a scout leader. Contact her

11. ==> Why Your Kids Won’t Live as Long as You
Did you know that there are over 200 killers in your
home? And that your family is placed at risk every day
from the cumulative effect of these poisons and known
cancer causing agents? It’s not fast, it’s slow, and
over time manifests as cancer or some other disease.
And it’s one of the reasons why our kids will NOT live
as long as their parents. Mylaine Riobe, MD, FACOG,
will tell your audience about the recent reports
linking toxins to common items in our home… from
cereals to soaps, detergents to air fresheners, even
medicines! Things we always thought were safe could be
slowly killing our kids. Dr. Riobe has a multi-faceted
unique approach to medicine combining TCM (Traditional
Chinese Medicine) with conventional medicine. She is
the author of “The Answer to Cancer” and “The Tao of
Integrative Medicine” and the host of the podcast
“Awakened Wellness with Mylaine Riobe, MD.” Contact Dr.
Mylaine Riobe at (772) 285-7788;

12. ==> Pssst… Procedures Don’t Have to Be So Painful!
There are many things that can be done to make certain
medical test procedures more bearable. But the catch is
patients have to ask for them and too often, nurses and
doctors fail to tell their patients they’re possible.
Nancy Michaels, an author and speaker who advises
hospitals and health-care providers on effective ways
to improve patient satisfaction, says patients need to
advocate for themselves by asking that treatments and
procedures be less painful. She’ll share tips on
talking to your doctor and what everyone should know if
they’re nervous or feeling uncomfortable about an
upcoming treatment or procedure. Nancy Michaels has
worked with the ICU Patient Advisory Council at Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is a member of the
Patient and Family Advisory Council – The Partnership
for Patients, a public-private partnership working to
improve the quality, safety and affordability of health
care for all Americans. Michaels has been featured by
CNN-fn, Fox News, and Weekend Today Show among others.

13. ==> Why ‘What’s for Dinner?’ Matters for You &
Earth
Our environmental, health, and economic problems can
seem so enormous and numerous that people often don’t
know where to begin in helping to solve them. But Ellen
Moyer, Ph.D. says, “We hold the power to help (or hurt)
ourselves and many aspects of our world just by the
foods we choose to eat. Our choices made day after day
add up to make a real difference.” She’ll discuss
practical things we can do when it comes to our food
choices to help ourselves and our world at the same
time. You’ll also hear shocking facts about our food
supply that aren’t well publicized, but that every
eater should know. Moyer is a registered professional
engineer with a B.A. in anthropology, an M.S. in
environmental engineering, a Ph.D. in civil
engineering, and 30 years of environmental engineering
experience. “Our Earth, Our Species, Our Selves: How to
Thrive While Creating a Sustainable World” is her third
book. Contact her at (413) 862-3452; ellenmoyer@em-

14. ==> She Takes the Scary out of Starting Your Own
Business
Owning and running your own business can be just as
scary as confronting a ghost or zombie. But while small
business owners don’t have to deal with the Wolfman or
Frankenstein they do have to confront monsters of their
own making: their own fears and doubts. Speaking with
the authority gained from 30 years’ experience in
launching, running and growing profitable businesses,
Fabi Preslar can talk about ways the fear of failure
can be paralyzing and facing it can be empowering and
share lessons she learned from her own missteps. Fear
and failure are two of the F words detailed in her new
book, “Fabulous F Words of Business Ownership:
Redefining Choice Words to Fuel Your Small Business.”
Fabi (Fay-Bee) is president of SPARK Publications, the
Charlotte Business Journal’s 2018 First-Generation
Family Business of the Year. Reach her at (704)

15. ==> Have You Been Fat-Shamed?
It happens to men and women—even celebrities such as
Serena Williams, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson and Amy
Schumer. Fat-shaming—criticizing people’s physical
appearance based on their weight—is both rude and
hurtful. But take it from Nicole Black, who was fat-
shamed for 30 years, reaching a peak when she packed an
extra 100 pounds on her 5-ft. 1-inch frame, feeling
like a victim is strictly optional. Invite Black to
reveal the insecurities that drive people to fat-shame
others (it has nothing to do with you), share 7 steps
you can take after a surprise fat-shaming, and discuss
her own journey of yo-yoing from fat to thin and back
again even as she operated successful bakeries. The
author of “Fat Shame: Ditch the Shame, Get Confident,
and Claim the Life You Deserve,” says it’s not about
dieting, nutrition, exercise or even bariatric surgery
(which is how she eventually slimmed down to 118
pounds.) She says the key is in achieving self-love,
something she struggled with when she felt unhappy and
ashamed despite her new size four body. Contact her at
(805) 757-3322; nicole@nicoleblack.com
16. ==> What’s a Flow State? (and How to Find Yours)
Beyond ‘going with the flow,’ Dashama Gordon says there
is a state of consciousness called the flow state,
where the mind is able to move beyond normal thinking
mode to a higher realm to access clarity and
creativity. She adds that being in the flow state can
lead to improved health, happiness and productivity as
well as lead to a more peaceful world. Dashama, who’s
been leading flow state trainings worldwide for 13
years, says, “I predict that the flow state will not
only become a growing interest for corporations but
also for universities, government, the arts and
sciences, etc. As humans evolve and learn to master the
flow state, we will see more harmony and peace between
people, nations and religious groups.” She’ll explain
how to access the flow state, and share simple flow
state meditation practices and breathing techniques.
Dashama has been featured on ABC, NBC, FOX News,
Oprah.com and many other media outlets. Her new book is
“Yoga for Surfing: Tips, Techniques, and Living the
Flow State.” Contact her at (808) 283-2646;
dashama@dashama.com
17. ==> Do a Show About Honoring ‘Ta-Tas’
After her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer,
best-selling author and former Miss America contestant
Jane Jenkins Herlong decided to write the book “What
Ta-Tas Teach Us,” to honor her and encourage other
women to take better care of their own ta-tas. “The
bottom line is that my sister did not take care of
herself,” Jane says. “Complete health is a combination
of a healthy body, mind and spirit, and I saw how my
sister struggled with her emotions.” In addition to
donating proceeds from the book to a breast cancer
group, Jane shares how women can take better care of
themselves on every level. She is the author of four
books including Indie Book Award-winning “Rhinestones
on My Flip-Flops.” She is also a popular speaker who
was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame, and a
gifted singer who has recorded music CDs, and
humor/personal growth DVDs. Her comedy is featured on
Sirius XM 97. Contact her at
janejenkinsherlong@gmail.com or (803) 480-1190.
18. ==> Is Political Correctness Good for Kids?
These days, nothing’s more American than telling it
like it is – but author Wade Meadows says people are
too blunt, even brutal with each other, all in defiance
of this thing called “political correctness.” A
survivor of verbal and physical abuse, Wade will reveal
the lasting damage harsh, nasty language does to
children and grown-ups, and discuss the power of words
to build up or break down our relationships. Wade can
be reached at (225) 397-0785; bhchism50@yahoo.com.
19. ==> This Nazi Germany Survivor Forgave Hitler
While growing up in Nazi Germany, Rosemarie Musso’s
dentist father was almost executed for helping Jews to
evade capture. Although she and her family were spared
following the intervention of a well-connected family
friend, Rosemarie harbored deep anger and hatred toward
Hitler for decades. But she eventually forgave him upon
becoming a Born Again Christian, and she claims this
changed her life for the better. “When God told me to
forgive Hitler, I said you have got to be kidding,” she
says. “How could I forgive what this monster did? When
you carry grudges with you, it changes and transforms
you and turns you into a sour pickle.” She channeled
that energy into earning a law degree at age 63, and
writing the book “The Four Laws of Forgiveness:
Memories of Survival During WWII Nazi Germany.” She can
share how forgiving even the most heinous acts can
enable us to live more peaceful, harmonious lives.

20. ==> Our World Really Needs Help: What We Can Do
Mark Landau says that new means to help solve our
problems are appearing. “A new bio-molecular miracle
that can supercharge any soil, dramatically increase
food production and nutrition, enhance the health of
bees and suck the carbon from the air back into the
Earth. The hundred best ways to reverse global warming.
A molecule that enhances intelligence and memory
suppressed by our government. The hidden legal matrix
that creates a permanent American undercaste and how
Portugal solved the problem the War on Drugs only makes
worse. And the only effective way for us to take back
our country and establish a true democracy. All this
and more in his new book, “A New American Evolution.”
