1. ==> On and in Venezuela

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

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

2. ==> Host of Investigation Discovery’s ‘True
Conviction’

A renowned Brooklyn, NY, homicide prosecutor, Anna-
Sigga Nicolazzi is the host of Investigation
Discovery’s new hit series True Conviction. Nicolazzi
takes you inside the fight for justice for victims and
their loved ones as she shows how the nation’s top
prosecutors tackled their toughest cases and
successfully placed the guilty party behind bars. In
each episode, Nicolazzi examines a different homicide
case, meets with key figures in the case, shares her
personal insights and reveals how the complex layers of
the investigation came together in the court room. A
frequent legal analyst on several TV networks, Anna-
Sigga Nicolazzi can discuss what viewers can expect
from True Conviction as well as some of her most
memorable cases and courtroom experiences. Contact
John Angelo at john@premieretv.com

3. ==> 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11

Just in time for this summer’s 50th anniversary of the
Apollo 11th moon landing, NASA expert and space
historian Rod Pyle offers an exciting behind-the-scenes
look at America’s journey to the Moon—from the space
race to the landing on the Sea of Tranquility to
splashdown on Earth and the aftermath. Vice President
Mike Pence recently promised the National Space Council
that Americans will return to the moon by 2024. Pyle
can also discuss the likelihood of that and share a
glimpse at the next few decades of spaceflight and
NASA’s long-term plans for exploration, utilization,
and settlement. Rod Pyle worked at NASA’s Jet
Propulsion Laboratory and the Johnson Space Center and
has produced numerous documentaries for the History
Channel and Discovery Communications, including the
acclaimed Modern Marvels: Apollo 11. He’s the author
of more than a dozen books including “First on the
Moon: The Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Experience,” the
incredible story of the first men on the Moon. Contact

4. ==> The Psychology of Modern Mothering

Invite clinical psychologist and couples’ therapist
Daphne de Marneffe, PhD., to discuss 21st Century
motherhood and women’s desires to be the best mother
they can be. Dr. de Marneffe will shed new light on old
debates and provide an emotional road map for mothers
who work and mother who are at home – digging deep into
the cultural, political, and personal meaning of the
desire to have and care for children. Dr. de Marneffe
is the author of “Maternal Desire: On Children, Love,
and the Inner Life” and “The Rough Patch: Marriage and
the Art of Living Together.” Contact Johanna Ramos
Boyer at (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell);
johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

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

Unless they have a brother or two, most women are
genuinely surprised by just how amusing, gross, and
silly their sons can be. Diane Auten was no exception.
“Kids are the most hysterical and entertaining beings
on Earth,” Auten says. Knowing what a difficult job
motherhood can be, Auten wants to give mothers
everywhere a priceless present—the ability to laugh
aloud and compare notes on the funny situations little
boys naturally create around them. Being a ‘boymom’ is
totally optional to enjoying this topic as Auten shares
surprising things little boys say about sex and their
bodies, what makes the mother-son bond so special, and
how to connect better with the boys in our lives.
Auten, a professor of speech communication, wrote down
the crazy questions her young sons asked and recorded
the conversations that ensued. The stories were such a
big hit on social media they became the foundation of
her ‘momoir,’ “The Joys of Raising Boys: the Good, the
Bad, and the Hilarious.” Contact her at (805) 215-1324;
DAuten@rtirguests.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10. ==> Secrets to Successful House Flipping

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

11. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, his bandmate brothers, and cousin
Mike Love. But for the first time, Brian’s former
bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin tells his
riveting behind-the-scenes story. Rocky is a former NFL
player who was college roommates and best friends with
Stan Love, a former LA Laker and brother of Mike Love.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted as life savers for
Brian, who was on a death spiral. After years of
silence, Rocky wrote the book “The Beach Boys Endless
Wave: Inside America’s Band” with co-author Ron Hamady,
a veteran of the music and film industries. “Rocky went
where no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a
monumental time for the band. There have been plenty of
Beach Boys books; but, no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact Mike Vezo at mvezo@rtirguests.com;
(310) 997-4947

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

While female directors are not given their due in
Hollywood, this wasn’t always the case. “In Episode 3
of my TV series ‘Kailin Gow’s Go Girl Food, Travel, and
Lost History,’ I talk about the lack of women directors
in Hollywood,” says Kailin Gow. “But what’s fascinating
is that the earliest pioneers of filmmaking in
Hollywood were women who wrote and directed many silent
films. When films started making money and being
profitable, that’s when many men entered filmmaking and
turned it into a big industry. The pioneer women
filmmakers were forgotten and left behind.” Kailin can
share how women can break through the glass ceiling in
this and other male-dominated industries. She is a
director/filmmaker, founder of Sparklesoup Inc., and an
author who has sold over 5.5 million books. Contact
Kailin at KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121.

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

According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; it
tears at the very fabric of entire communities.”
Lindsley will discuss how domestic violence impacts a
company’s bottom line due to lost productivity, causes
long-term health problems in victims, spills over to
schools and workplaces, and involves innumerable police
man hours and why a multi-pronged approach is needed.
Curt can share how communities, organizations and
individuals can come together to curtail this epidemic,
starting today. Curt is the founder of the nonprofit
domestic violence awareness group Go Purple USA,
sponsor of Go Purple Day™ (Oct. 1); and co-founder of
the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force, official
sponsor of Purple Light Nights®. Contact Curt at
clindsley@rtirguests.com; (256) 213-1092

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

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

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

Most people try to forget their bedtime nightmares as
quickly as possible. But, according to Nora Truscello,
a 30-year psychic and dream expert, that’s a mistake
because “nine out of 10 nightmares are offering you a
positive message.” Interview Nora to learn what that
message might be as well as to better understand any
dream you may have had. She can also share the best way
is to remember your dreams and ways all of us can use
intuition. This summer, Nora will be giving a talk on
dreams at Lily Dale Assembly in New York, which says it
is the world’s largest center for the science,
philosophy and religion of spiritualism. Reach Nora at
(302) 803-2307; nora@intointuition.com

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

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

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

According to scientist David. L. Peters, “Abundance is
not more money or things. Abundance is a life of joy
and happiness, under all conditions that life sends
you, the good and the not-so-good.” David has spent 80+
years living a joyful and abundant life, immersed in
science and spirituality where he has found that one
supports the other. “The pathway of the 12 steps leads
to joy and happiness even under devastating
conditions.” He has achieved great prominence in his
career as an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised seven
great kids and has enjoyed a loving marriage for 57
years. He is the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and
Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies
Within.” Contact him at David at
DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607) 304-3329.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. ==> Court TV Anchor on Trump Lawsuit to Block Records

President Donald Trump is going to court to try to
block a Democratically-controlled congressional
committee from obtaining his financial records through
a subpoena. The lawsuit is the first case where Trump
has sued to try to stymie House Democrats’
investigations into the President. But the court filing
is only the first skirmish in what’s likely to be a
multi-front war between House Democrats and Trump, the
White House and the President’s businesses. Invite
Court TV’s Julie Grant to talk about the legalities
involved. Grant will be an anchor when Court TV
launches in early May. The former Assistant District
Attorney of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) was also
legal editor, anchor and reporter at KDKA-TV. Contact
Mark Goldman at Mark@goldmanmccormick.com or call/text
(516) 639-0988.

2. ==> Will Senate Override Trump on Yemen War?

President Donald Trump’s veto of a joint resolution to
put an end to U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in
Yemen is going to kick the matter back to senators when
they return to the Capitol next week. Shireen Al-
Adeimi, an assistant professor of education at Michigan
State University is originally from Yemen and can
explain the situation there. She says, “This brutal and
ongoing onslaught has taken the lives of more than
60,000 Yemenis and left half the population — 14
million people — on the verge of famine. What began as
a civil war in Yemen escalated into what the United
Nations calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
Yemen became an international killing field, with Saudi
Arabia leading a vicious bombing campaign, which the
Obama and then Trump administrations helped unleash. As
the political tide in the United States finally turns
against the war, we must not let its early proponents —
and those who remained silent — whitewash their
misdeeds. We must be willing to look honestly at what
the United States has done to the Yemeni people, so
that we can finally end this war, and prevent similar
atrocities in the future.” Contact Shireen Al-Adeimi at
1shireen@gmail.com; @shireen818

3. ==> Youth Political Poll: Nobody Cares About Us and We’re Anxious

The latest Harvard Institute Of Politics (IOP) Youth
Poll indicates young voters between 18 and 29 years old
are experiencing anxiety as much as joy, don’t think
baby boomer voters or elected officials care about
them, and are increasingly concerned about the moral
direction of the nation. “It is no secret that social
media has exacerbated the stress and anxiety that is
already so prevalent in the late-teen and early-
adulthood years of young Americans. However, for the
first time, we now have evidence that the state of our
politics is contributing to the mental health
challenges millions of young Americans already face,”
says John Della Volpe, director of polling for the
Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School. “To
empower young voters, to persuade them to vote requires
candidates willing to share and align their values with
this emerging generation — and understanding the
stress inherent in our politics today is a critical
first step.” The Institute of Politics at Harvard
Kennedy School was established in 1966 as a living
memorial to President John F. Kennedy. Since 2000, the
student-led Harvard Public Opinion Project has provided
the most comprehensive look at the political opinions,
voting trends, and views on public service held by
young Americans. Contact Volpe at harvardiop@gmail.com;
(617) 495-1360.

4. ==> 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
Boll at (626) 296-3757; h.boll@dcpublicity.com

7. ==> A Mother’s Day Show about a Son’s Love

This Mother’s Day share the incredible, true story of a
son and his unending love for his mother. Invite Marty
Vargas on your show and hear about his journey as a
young man from California wine country searching for
his estranged mother of 20 years and eventually finding
her homeless on the streets of Philadelphia, not
looking for rescue. Marty’s love for his birth mom was
tested time and time again but eventually prevails,
overcoming her rejection, spitting in his face, and
fear. This wonderful human-interest story is also a
tale of two mothers. His birth mother AND the one who
took him in and raised him, and hid the truth before
eventually giving him the information and courage to go
on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas, MFA, is a
media owner, author and 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; MVargas@rtirguests.com

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

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

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. ==> 5 Reasons Why the U.S. Peace Plan Will Signal
End-Times

The Trump administration is putting the finishing
touches on its new peace plan for Israel—one that Jared
Kushner is consulting on. While we wait to see what is
in the plan, Richard Ruhling, M.D., will deliver five
reasons it will fail and why he believes the Apocalypse
will follow. Dr. Ruhling can explain the real-world
events to watch for that he believes will kick off the
Apocalypse in May. His latest book is “9-11: How 9-11
Links in Christ’s Last Parables Show End-Times Begin
This Spring.” He will provide a free copy to all
interviewers. Dr. Ruhling taught Health Science at Loma
Linda University and has been on dozens of talk shows
focusing on health, current events, and prophecy.

11. ==> He Says What Abused Children Cannot

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.

13. ==> 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,

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

15. ==> 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

16. ==> Does Baby Talk Make Kids Less Creative?

Baby talk is hard for adults to resist. When
communicating with a toddler or a baby, we are more
likely to say, “Look at that doggie!” than “Look at
that greyhound!” Montessori teacher and educator Sharon
Quinn says, “We have a tendency to use a dumb-down way
of communicating with kids that hampers their
creativity. Yet until age 7, kids’ brains are like a
giant sponge capable of processing copious amounts of
information.” Interview Sharon to learn how to maximize
your baby’s ability to learn and communicate from the
get-go and they, in turn, will be able to tell you if
their diaper is wet, if they want juice and even why
they are crying. She is the founder of Window to the
World, a company devoted to helping people achieve
educational excellence and optimal spiritual health and
well-being. She’s a workshop leader, inspirational
speaker, weekly radio talk show co-host and author.

19. ==> Your Dreams Are Telling You Something… But What?

Did you know your dreams are actually conversations you
have with yourself about very specific issues in your
life that you’re trying to solve? Why does that matter
and what can you do with that information? Dream
analyst Layne Dalfen says, “The solution you’re looking
for about what (or who) in your life is bugging you
will appear in your unconscious mind before it gets to
your conscious one. That means you can propel your
problem solving skills… if only you knew what the heck
you were saying to yourself when you had the dream!”
Dalfen will explain how dream analysis gives you the
power to decide how you want to respond to people and
situations in your life. Layne has appeared on hundreds
of radio shows and podcasts. She LOVES call-in radio

case to add a ‘citizenship question’ to the 2020 U.S.
Census. American Constitution Society President
Caroline Fredrickson can discuss the impact on minority
voters if the question is added and explain the
apportionment clause of Article I of the Constitution
and what role the US Census plays in determining
Congressional districts. She’ll discuss how earlier
this year, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman barred the
government from including the question and took the
administration to task for “’a veritable smorgasbord of
classic, clear-cut’ violations of the Administrative
Procedure Act, including cherry-picking evidence to
support [their] choice.” Trump Administration officials
immediately asked the Supreme Court to bypass the
Appeals court and hear its appeal, which it agreed to
do in April. Caroline Fredrickson is the author of “The

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. Her book,
“Buried Rivers: A Spiritual Journey into the
Holocaust,” won a 2018 Nautilus Silver Book Award and a

issues of microwave radiation that it uses. Invite Dr.
Beverly Jensen to discuss the potential side effects of

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

9. ==> 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? Author,
speaker, and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni is
president of Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch, Inc.
and says that extreme corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
means that too many US taxpayer dollars end up lining
the pockets of corrupt officials instead of helping
poor families. His new book, “Rescue Thyself: Change in
Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within,” reveals what
many in the West don’t understand about the root causes
of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps
to improve the situation. Ask him: What do you consider

treat them more quickly and more easily, and learn how
your child, or you for that matter, could have a

1. ==> America’s Two Tax Tales – Yours & Trump’s

According to Edward McCaffery, Americans are seeing two
different tax stories play out this week. The first is
how Donald Trump’s tax overhaul has affected them, the
other is whether Trump will release his own taxes.
McCaffery says, “These concurrent storylines underscore
a basic and important fact of life in America today.
There are two tax systems in our country: One for the
many of us who work regular jobs for a living, and a
second for those who have wealth and can live off of
it, without bothering much about ordinary work.” He
adds, “The income tax for most of us is becoming like
the payroll tax: a “simple” tax to compute, but an
onerous one to pay. In Trump-world, things are
different. There are more forms, but fewer, if any,
taxes. And none of this may ever see any light of any
day because, in the President’s mind at least, his will
trumps the IRS and the law.” Edward McCaffery is Robert
C. Packard trustee chair in law and a professor of law,
economics and political science at the University of
Southern California. He is the author of “Fair Not
Flat: How to Make the Tax System Better and Simpler”
and founder of the People’s Tax Page. Contact him at

2. ==> Ashleigh Banfield on A&E’s ‘Live Rescue’

Veteran journalist and TV news anchor Ashleigh Banfield
is host of the brand new A&E documentary series Live
Rescue. The show places viewers in the center of the
action as first responders – such as EMTs, paramedics,
and fire fighters – bravely put their lives on the line
as they respond to emergency rescue calls and quickly
react to dangerous situations. Banfield – who hosted
law & justice programs on CNN and HLN and was a
correspondent for ABC and NBC News – can discuss the
new series, what viewers can expect from the show and
why it’s different than anything else on television.

3. ==> Do Holiday Gatherings Feel Like Game of Thrones?

Winter is here. This weekend family and friends will be
getting together to celebrate Easter and Passover, but
in our currently divisive culture it’s easy for any
gathering to turn into the Battle of the Blackwater. To
ensure your event doesn’t devolve into an episode of
Game of Thrones, invite Joffre McClung to share 5
common sense rules to make any holiday gathering a safe
space where the 7 Kingdoms can coexist, at least for
the day. She says, “No one wants to know how much money
you make, how big your bonus was or how your stocks are
doing. And when it comes to religion, walk it, don’t
talk it!” For those who feel they need to discuss
politics, Joffre advises, “Please, just don’t. We all
need a break!” Joffre McClung has appeared on numerous
TV and radio programs and podcasts. Her latest book is
“The Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at (917)
994-0225 (TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com

4. ==> Earth Day is Monday: Can We Stop Climate Change?

The United Nations Secretary General called climate
change a “direct existential threat.” But what does
that mean and what can we do about it? This Earth Day,
discuss the hard truths, causes and consequences of the
climate crisis’ interconnected issues with Jill Cody,
author of “Climate Abandoned: We’re on The Endangered
Species List.” Jill says the climate change crisis is
not beyond our control and she’ll share practical tips
for what listeners can keep doing, stop doing, and
start doing to combat climate change and make better
choices for the future. Cody is an editor, author,
community radio host and political activist. Contact
her at 831-293-8202; info@climateabandoned.com

5. ==> 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

6. ==> College Scam: Does it Matter Where You Go?

Parents these days twist themselves into knots and
sometimes commit crimes to gain admission for their
kids to attend a college or university identified as a
‘best school.’ “I have seen families fly all over the
country to tour schools, racking up expenses at the
speed of light, while their wide-eyed 17-year-olds are
trying to make monumental decisions about which campus,
which major, which city, which state, and what all of
this will look like with nary a family or friend in
sight for miles and miles,” says parenting expert Sara
Sherman. “The pressure is enormous, the costs high, and
the overwhelm palatable.” Invite Sherman to discuss how
schools are actually identified as ‘best’, whether it
really matters what college you attend, and how
employers feel about academics and job performance.
Sara Sherman, BA, MS, is a speaker, author, blogger,
coach and creator of the Create Cooperative Kids
program. As a single parent for most of her adult life,
Sara successfully raised her children and earned two
degrees all while working full-time. Contact her at

7. ==> The Most Explosive Place to Spring Clean: Your
Secret Hiding Place!

Lynn McPhelimy has a spring cleaning suggestion for
anyone who has a secret hiding place. “If what you have
stashed for safe-keeping (and is meant for your eyes
only) sparks fear at the thought of family or friends
accidently finding it while you’re still breathing (or
would cause you to roll over in your grave if they came
upon it when going through your things upon your
passing) it’s time to dig deep and clean things out!”
Over her 20 years as a professional life organizer,
Lynn has discovered ‘hidden treasure’ that made her
lose her breath (and her mind, at times) when helping
families sort through a deceased loved one’s things.
She’ll share stories about her ‘finds’ and tell your
listeners the most important thing to do with their
‘hideys’ if they aren’t ready to toss, delete or erase
them. Her advice could save your reputation and your
family from embarrassment, heartbreak and the need to
seek therapy. Lynn McPhelimy is the author of “In the
Checklist of Life.” Contact her at (860) 918-0709

8. ==> What Makes Office Affairs So Tantalizing?

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

9. ==> Just Like Bogie and Bacall: Older Man, Younger
Woman

Humphry Bogart was 44 and married when he met 19-year-
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
it. She’ll talk about the virtues older men possess
that younger men, with their clumsy hands and raging
hormones, lack. Houtz is the author of the upcoming
book “Solo By Choice.” Contact her at (775) 451-3191;
PHoutz@rtirguests.com

10. ==> 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;
JSmith@rtirguests.com

11. ==> Why We Should Vote for Women in 2020

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 psychiatrist
Dr. Donald Pet, 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, 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. Contact Dr.
Donald Pet at (860) 253-2691; DPet@rtirguests.com

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

Chances are you’ve 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
(775) 451-3086; TLamberg@rtirguests.com

13. ==> 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 the ‘befores’ and ‘afters’ and how much they
paid and sold the property 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 shows also don’t tell you why rental
properties are better investments than buy-and-flip
properties. Dan, a long-time property renovator, will
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;
DLieberman@rtirguests.com

14. ==> 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,
and astounding hidden stories behind the song lyrics
written under their guru’s influence, such as “Dear
Prudence,” “Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill,” “Get
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.
She is the award-winning author of 16 books including
“Maharishi & Me: Seeking Enlightenment with the
Beatles’ Guru.” She has done over 1,000 media
appearances. Contact her at (917) 336-7184;

15. ==> How to Go from Monday Blues to a Weekend
Attitude

Well, it’s just another rainy Monday. You woke up late,
traffic is at a standstill and you hate your job.
Whoopee!!! Can you really turn it all around by
shifting your thoughts? Annie Evans says you can AND
overcome even more serious tragedies. Evans personally
knows that changing attitudes can make a major mindset
shift. Being raised by a severely mentally-ill mom and
losing two life partners is just the tip of the
iceberg. Evans will share her startling story and help
listeners learn real strategies to change their
mindsets. They’ll learn ways to make a major shift back
to the land of happy living. Contact her at
aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.

16. ==> What Your Dreams Are Trying to Tell You

Did you know your dreams are actually conversations you
have with yourself about very specific issues in your
life that you’re trying to solve? Why does that matter
and what can you do with that information? Dream
analyst Layne Dalfen says, “The solution you’re looking
for about what (or who) in your life is bugging you
will appear in your unconscious mind before it gets to
your conscious one. That means you can propel your
problem solving skills… if only you knew what the heck
you were saying to yourself when you had the dream!”
Dalfen will explain how dream analysis gives you the
power to decide how you want to respond to people and
situations in your life. Layne has appeared on hundreds
of radio shows and podcasts. She LOVES call-in radio
because she is terrific at thinking on her feet, using
her uncanny gift to describe a dream AND plan a course
of action. Layne Dalfen teaches dream analysis at
Concordia University in Montreal. Contact her at (514)

17. ==> Should Kids Make Up their Own Homework?

Why do kindergartners love school but by the end of
high school most students can’t wait to leave? The joy
and excitement that can be found in those early years
quickly dissipates, but fixing it is easier than you
think! “There are so many ways to create a perfect
school,” says Lee Jenkins, a career educator with a
passion for improving student learning in school. “From
giving students choice in how to do homework to
creating a team feel in every classroom, where they are
more interested in outperforming their own best work
instead of competing with each other, it works!” In
fact, teachers using Lee’s method are seeing an
increase in classroom learning by six times the
national average! Lee Jenkins is currently working on
his new book “How to Create a Perfect School” (June
2019), foreword by Jack Canfield. He’s been an educator
and administrator both in public schools and
universities. Contact Lee Jenkins at (484) 306-8784;

18. ==> 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 new
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 been featured on radio
and television. Contact him at (878) 203-8231;

19. ==> 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
US, with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel. In 1931, at
the age of 53, Serge joined the Commandos under “Wild
Bill” Donovan and completed two successful missions
parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis… and
has many amazing true stories to relate, not only about
his grandfather but also the Astors and American
aristocratic life at that time. Ivan Obolensky is an
author and a true Renaissance man in his own right. His
novel is “Eye of the Moon” Contact Ivan at (818)

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
years, where he discovered the dramatic impact colors
have on people’s lives. He is the author of the book
Your Name and Colors: Key to Your Beauty, Career,
Personality, Romance and Success. Contact B.P. at (510)

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.
Contact Ashley Broadway-Mack at
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,

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;

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.”

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

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;

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.

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

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.”

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

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

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

this afternoon to discuss the new season of his AXS
show The Big Interview. The show’s 7th season premieres

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

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.

808-8396 or emittenthal@meatinstitute.org

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.
Donald Pet at (860) 253-2691; DPet@rtirguests.com

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;
JSmith@rtirguests.com

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
JHerlong@rtirguests.com; (803) 599-2941.

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.
He is the author of “Things I’ve Learned From The
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
(928) 582-8664; rruhling@rtirguests.com

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
author of “The Joy of Recovery: The New 12 Step Guide
to Recovery from Addiction.” Contact him at (978)

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
what this means and how to do it by catching up on the
seven different types of rest you did not even know
existed. Dr. Saundra has been quoted in such major
media as Prevention magazine and Woman’s Day. She is
the author of “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew
Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.” Contact her at (256)

connected, yet at the same time, are they ruining your
relationships with your family members? Invite author
and award-winning screenwriter, TV/film producer, and
journalist Maryann Ridini Spencer to share her tips on
how to cut back on using electronics and start living
in the moment and enjoying life more. She’ll explain

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

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the “Don Quixote”
of Health Care Reform. At 85, he is probably one of the
oldest activists around. For decades he’s been hounding
all five Federal Agencies created to solve the health
care crisis in this country. Even with those agencies,
our health care system is still a mess AND medical
errors leading to deaths in hospitals continues to
rise. Dr. Williams has developed a system to empower
local grassroots activists in each state to radically
change our health care delivery system. He’ll tell your
audience why each state is responsible for our nation’s
healthcare delivery system and how to organize state
wide grassroots activists that will challenge the
current system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an
experienced surgeon and a medical malpractice expert
witness. His latest book is “Healthcare Warriors, Why
and How to Become One.” Contact him at (864) 479-8613;

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

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

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
appears regularly on MSNBC and CNN as a legal analyst.
Seema Iyer was a prosecutor in New York City and ran
her own criminal law practice in Manhattan. Contact

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

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

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)

12. ==> He Says What Abused Children Cannot

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)

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
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

15. ==> Discover 7 Types of Rest That Beat Stress

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
what this means and how to do it by catching up on the
seven different types of rest you did not even know
existed. Dr. Saundra has been quoted in such major
media as Prevention magazine and Woman’s Day. She is
the author of “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew
Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.” Contact her at (256)

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.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel. In 1931, at
the age of 53, Serge joined the Commandos under “Wild
Bill” Donovan and completed two successful missions
parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis and
has many amazing true stories to relate, not only about
his grandfather but also the Astors and American
aristocratic life at that time. Obolensky is the author
of “Eye of the Moon,” and a true Renaissance man in his
own right. Contact him at (818) 495-8731;

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
new book is “Recipe for Radiance: Mastering the Art and

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
david@davidalove.com

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

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.”

6. ==> 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

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

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?

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.”

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.

should seek out a medication to heal us. Interestingly,
however, you may find a better remedy in your

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

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,

Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer’s”, knows the

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
years, where he discovered the dramatic impact colors
