1.==> Coronavirus: How Bad Decisions Kill People

Coronavirus, Ebola, MERS, SARS, Zika: the biology
changes, but the problem does not. Every one of these
diseases hits the news, threatening to become a
pandemic that could wipe out massive populations. Why
isn’t there a clear plan to address this threat … or
the next one … or the next one? “While we don’t know
the name of the next plague, it’s obvious that we need
a solution to this very predictable, recurring,
inevitable problem,” says decision-making expert
Michael Angelo Costa. “I’m not talking about scientific
cures, I’m talking about a plan to address the threat
and protect the public.” Invite Costa to discuss why
the problem hasn’t been addressed and whether it
matters when the Chinese government knew of this
potential health crisis. Hear why he says one of the
best ways to improve future outcomes is to learn from
past mistakes, preferably someone else’s! Michael
Angelo Costa has more than 33 years of international
business experience as a lawyer, investment banker, and
advisor. He’s an international coach and consultant and
the author of “Never Be Wrong Again – Four Steps to
Making Better Decisions In Work and In Life.” Contact
him at (760) 238-5087; info@michaelangelocosta.com

2. ==> The Trouble with Election Security

Russia interfered with the U.S. presidential election
in 2016, and in 2018, internet trolls again spread
disinformation during the midterms. Intelligence
officials warn that interference in this year’s
presidential election may already be underway. Invite
Shannon K. O’Neil, vice president of studies at the
Council on Foreign Relations, to explain how the 2016
interference occurred and why social media played such
a big role. She’ll also discuss why there’s such
partisan debate over the issue, what that means for the
upcoming election and how election interference
undermines our entire democracy. O’Neil is an expert on
Latin America, U.S.-Mexico relations, global trade,
corruption, democracy, and immigration. Contact her at
(212) 434-9772; soneil@cfr.org

3. ==> Is Sanders a Socialist or a New Dealer?

Bernie Sanders is running for president as a Democrat,
but many see his platform and views as socialist.
Victor Wallis, the author of the upcoming book
“Socialist Practice: Histories and Theories,” says
given the bias against third-party challengers, there
are powerful inducements for socialists to seek office
as Democrats. He says, “This leads them to water down
their conception of socialism to the point of rejecting
any explicit challenge to the power of capitalism.” The
resulting political order has been dubbed everything
from mixed economy to welfare capitalism and social
democracy, but Senator Bernie Sanders refers to it as
democratic socialism. Wallis says, “Sanders’ acceptance
of the word ultimately reflects the fact that
socialism, despite any negative historical baggage and
despite its sustained stigmatization, embodies the
positive social goals that most people seek.” Wallis’
books include “Red-Green Revolution: The Politics and
Technology of Ecosocialism” and “Democracy Denied: Five
Lectures on U.S. Politics.” Contact him at
zendive@aol.com

4.==> CEOs On Social Media: How Much Should They Share?

According to a recent Glassdoor poll of over 1,200
employed adults, 57% of workers say they have talked
about politics while on the job — despite 60% saying
they believe discussing politics at work is
unacceptable. What about CEOs who share their political
or religious beliefs on social media? Reputation
management expert Ryan McCormick says, “Under no
circumstances should high-level executives share or
promote their political perspectives online. Doing so
can risk alienating loyal customers or potential
customers who share different perspectives.” He
suggests CEOs who want to help their preferred
candidate do so away from the public eye. But
interestingly, when it comes to corporate heads touting
their religious beliefs, he says there is a greater
chance of it being acceptable (and even embraced) if
the company has made those beliefs an integral part of
their culture. McCormick, a former TV producer and
newspaper editor, is co-founder of Goldman McCormick
PR. Contact him at (516) 901-1103;
ryan@goldmanmccormick.com

5. ==> Sex, Drugs, and Heavy Metal: Backstage Tales of
Metal Legends

Get your backstage pass and go behind-the-scenes with
such legendary bands as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest,
Twisted Sister, and Quiet Riot—to name a few. Jon
Wiederhorn will take you onto tour buses, into hotel
rooms, and to exclusive parties and spots both seedy
and glamorous. Topics range from band brawls and
security scraps to mosh pit mishaps and near-death
experiences. And of course, there’s booze and drugs and
groupies. Jon Wiederhorn is the author of “Raising
Hell: Backstage Tales from the Lives of Metal Legends.”

6. ==> Legal Loophole Could Give Your Job to a
Foreigner

Suppose you came into work and were told that you were
being replaced by a foreigner making half your salary
whom you had to train before you go. This is currently
happening to stellar employees at AT&T, Disney, Verizon
and Toys ‘R’ Us, who were tossed out of their jobs
thanks to a legal loophole that lets companies import
non-U.S. citizens to do jobs college-educated Americans
can do. Let American jobs advocate Hilarie Gamm explain
this threat to your audience and why everyone from
recent graduates to experienced workers could be
victims. A veteran talk show guest and co-founder of
the nonpartisan American Workers Coalition, Gamm can
bust the myth of the shortage of U.S. STEM workers and
talk about legislation that could close the loophole
that is unfairly benefiting certain tech companies and
nationalities. Gamm can also be joined by her AWC co-
founders, Marie Larson and Barbara Birch. Gamm is the
author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis and
The Road Map to Change.” Contact her at (203) 571-3819;
hgamm@rtirguests.com

7. ==> Journalist Explains Why Trump Supporters Hold On

Talk to the journalism professor and former journalist
who, in October 2015, predicted Donald Trump’s win.
Yes, 13 months before the vote, Nita Wiggins read the
signs of the political shift. But what does she see
happening in 2020? How does President Trump defy all
previous election taboos? Why do his backers stay,
despite sex scandals, impeachment, and warmongering?
What does Nita see clearly that political reporting
fails to report? Nita will help your audience avoid
election-mania, misinformation, and “shiny object”
reporting, and stay sane throughout the impeachment
fallout and the primary voting season. She worked from
coast-to-coast for 21 years as a TV reporter and
anchor, and she is the author of “Civil Rights Baby: My
Story of Race, Sports and Breaking Barriers in American
Journalism.” Nita now teaches journalism in Paris,
France. Contact her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

8. ==> Carrying a Gun for Protection — Hear This Expert

Your neighbors, co-workers and friends are among
today’s millions of responsible gun owners. Many more
(perhaps yourself) are considering gun ownership in
this era of mass killings, home invasions and attacks.
Invite Chris Bird to educate you and your audience
about gun safety and self-defense. A sought-after
expert on gun rights and personal protection, Chris can
answer: Why are methods of observation as important as
one’s weapon? What steps help you survive a public
shooting? What are his insights about recent attacks at
schools, workplaces, community events and places of
worship? With 30+ years of firearm safety experience,
Chris Bird is the author of several books including
“Surviving a Mass Killer Rampage,” “The Concealed
Handgun Manual” and “Thank God I Had a Gun!” Have your
listeners call in during the interview with their gun
questions. Contact Chris Bird at (210) 686-4440;
cbird@rtirguests.com

9. ==> Is the Next Real Estate Bust about to Begin?

With real estate experts, economists, and even online
real estate company Zillow predicting a recession in
2020, are property owners prepared to weather the
coming storm? Invite New York real estate economist and
appraiser Adam Weber to share why he believes that in
the next financial crisis there will be nowhere to
hide. Invite him to discuss how we got here and why the
upcoming economic crisis will be much worse than the
past. As a veteran of multiple financial storms, he
says lenders are currently handing out loans like
crazy. His book, “The Appraisal Review Survival Guide,”
reveals insider information on the workings of the
risky business of making real estate loans. Contact him
at (917) 779-8177; aweber@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Are You at Risk for Diabetes, the Silent
Killer?

Did you know that more than 30 million adults have
diabetes and more than 7 million don’t even know they
have it? Or that one in four adults has prediabetes?
With these staggering numbers, no one can afford to be
diabetes illiterate. That is why you’ll want to
interview Nadia Al-Samarrie, a leading patient advocate
in the diabetes community who knows this topic inside
and out. She can answer such questions as what are some
of the biggest myths about diabetes? How did being born
into a family with type-2 diabetes and being married to
a type-1 diabetic affect her life? What does she wish
everyone knew about diabetes? Nadia is editor-in-chief
of Diabetes Health, a 400,000 circulation magazine used
in hospitals, diabetes classes, and doctors’ offices as
an educational resource for patients, and her AskNadia
column is ranked No. 1 by Google as is her
DiabetesHealth.com website. Nadia is also the author of
“Sugar Happy: Your Diabetes Health Guide in Achieving
Your Best Blood Sugars and Letting Go of Your Diabetes
Complication Fears.” She has been featured on ABC, NBC,
CBS, and other major cable networks. Contact her at
(415) 741-3545; nalsamarrie@rtirguests.com

11. ==> Why Teen Chronic Pain up 800%

When you think of chronic pain you are likely to
imagine older people whose bodies have broken down over
time—not teens. Let David Hanscom, M.D., share a topic
you’ve probably never heard before as he reveals why
teenage chronic emotional and physical pain is robbing
America of its future, having risen more than 800% in
the last ten years. But he does have good news: the
anxiety that is fueling young people’s pain can be
dealt with and he’ll share ways the body’s stress
chemicals can be reduced, and what we should be
teaching children in elementary school that would be
game-changing. Dr. Hanscom is an orthopedic spine
surgeon who quit his surgical practice to teach
patients and medical practitioners how to solve chronic
pain. His most recent book is “Do You Really Need Spine
Surgery?” Contact him at (206) 890-1892;
david@backincontrol.com

12. ==> How the Lack of Black Doctors Harms Patients

Did you know that only about 4 percent of all U.S.
physicians are black men? And that female black
physicians make up only 2 percent? The lack of black
physicians is a big problem that adversely affects the
health-care outcomes of black patients, who often
mistrust physicians who don’t look like them.
Christopher H. Hall is an ER doctor in Mississippi who
grew up in the worst project in Los Angeles and can
talk about the barriers black men must overcome to wear
a white coat. He grew up with an alcoholic mother and a
father in jail. His brother is also in jail and Chris
spent time in foster care and juvenile hall. Chris can
share what it is like to be a black doctor and even how
he ended up treating a grand wizard of the KKK. His
memoir is “Ward of the Court.” Contact him at (251)
207-7527; chall@rtirguests.com

13. ==> What’s Going Wrong with America’s Health-
Delivery System?

The industry of medicine, including insurance
companies, Big Pharma, and a medical corporate
structure that appears driven more by profits than
patient consideration, represent a significant problem
in our health-care delivery. Doctors are growing
frustrated to the point of leaving the profession.
Nurses and ancillary teams are drowning in over-
documentation and have less time for patient care.
Invite Michael J. Young, M.D., to discuss the
challenges to our health-care delivery system gone
awry. A practicing physician (surgeon and urology
specialist) for three decades, Dr. Young will offer his
insights and explore how America’s health-delivery
process is in need of repair for everyone’s benefit.
He’ll also share his personal story and been-there
experiences other doctors rarely discuss. Dr. Michael
Young is the author of “The Illness of Medicine.”

14. ==> How Anxiety Can Lead to Happiness

Most of us have been trained to think that anxiety is
always a bad thing. But strange as it may seem, being
anxious can also lead to greater happiness, according
to expert Sankarshan Das, who compares anxiety to a
dashboard warning light requiring our immediate
attention. On-air he’ll explain the mistake nearly
everyone makes when trying to be happier as well as how
he managed to have zero anxiety in the past 50 years.
Sankarshan Das is a singer-songwriter who once appeared
onstage between Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful
Dead. His song, “The Peace Formula,” has been praised
by Barack Obama. Sankarshan Das circles the world twice
a year singing and speaking in promotion of global
peace and spiritual perfection. He’s the author of the
upcoming book “Deliver Your Mind, Deliver the World:
Empowering You to Awaken Your Divine Consciousness and
Create Global Happiness.” Contact him at (512)

15. ==> Why Every College Student Needs an Exit
Strategy

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college
professor, he heard students complain about the high
cost of tuition and burdensome debt they were taking
on. But what he didn’t hear most students talking about
was even more important: what their exit strategy from
college was going to be and how they intended to
monetize their skills once they were out. Glen says,
“Students need to define their value, not have an
employer define it for them. What are they worth?
Educators and parents have to help them figure that out
while they are still in school.” Glen is making it his
mission to ensure that parents have important
conversations with their children, well before the
first college tour. He’ll reveal what that conversation
should sound like as well as the paradoxical, self-
serving way universities use tuition money to preserve
their business interests to the detriment of students.
Glen is a former college professor, a documentarian and
the author of two books. His latest is “A Degree In
Homelessness? Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.”

16. ==> Kids are Right: School is Boring

It’s no surprise that so many kids complain about
school being boring. Between mandated tests and
outdated teaching methods, many students would rather
be anywhere than in a school classroom. How do we
maintain the intrinsic motivation students bring with
them to kindergarten for all 13 years of K-12
education? Lee Jenkins says there is no limit to what
schools can accomplish when students are still
motivated like they once were in kindergarten. Invite
him on your show to discuss how this is possible with
examples from all grade levels and subjects. Lee
Jenkins has been an educator and administrator both in
public schools and universities. He’s the author of
“How to Create a Perfect School,” foreword by Jack
Canfield. Contact him at (484) 306-8784;
LJenkins@rtirguests.com

17. ==> Are You Violating the Ten Commandments of Pain?

At least 25 percent of your listeners experience
chronic pain or love someone who does. Everyone else
would love to learn how they can avoid joining their
ranks. That’s why you’ll want to interview Trevor
Campbell, M.D., a family physician who has worked in
multidisciplinary pain management and opioids reduction
programs and served as a medical director for a leading
pain management provider. With a charming South African
accent and a rare ability to speak in layman’s terms,
Dr. Campbell will reveal what the Ten Commandments of
Pain are, shatter myths about what pain is, and reveal
his evidence-based, non-pharmacological approach for
reducing pain and enjoying life more. He studied
medicine at the University of Cape Town, South Africa,
before emigrating to Canada, where he became interested
in treatments for chronic pain. His new book, hailed as
a great read by Inc. Magazine, is “The Language of
Pain: Fast Forward Your Recovery to Stop Hurting.”

18. ==> 5 Reasons You Should Write a Book Now

An estimated 80 to 90 percent of Americans would like
to write a book someday. Most of them let their dream
die without ever acting upon it. Let Fabi Preslar,
president of custom publishing house SPARK Publications
and an author herself, explain what’s involved in
writing and publishing a book. She can reveal five
powerful reasons to write your book today including the
importance of letting others learn from your hero’s
journey. She can also answer such questions as what’s
the biggest roadblock to getting a successful book
written? And, book publishing isn’t what it used to be,
what does a new author need to know? Articulate, smart
and honest, Fabi (Fay-Bee) is the author of “Fabulous F
Words of Business Ownership: Redefining Choice Words to
Fuel Your Small Business” and winner of Charlotte
Business Journal’s 2018 First-Generation Family
Business of the Year Award. Contact Fabi at (704)

TV host Maryann Ridini Spencer to reveal why spending
quality time and building relationships with family and
friends can be the key to finding your bliss. She can

of “aloha” and the Golden Rule of doing unto others
really work. Discover how to set goals to realize your
dreams and live your authentic life. She is the author

soon-to-be-published “The Paradise Table.” Her work has
appeared on Hallmark Hall of Fame (CBS-TV), the
Hallmark Channel, CNN, USA, Syfy, Showtime, PBS, and
many others. Contact her at (818) 884-0104;
recprinfo@gmail.com

20. ==> This Doc Reveals How Carbs Can Make You Drunk!

Excess carbs aren’t just bad for your waistline and
overall health. Foods like pasta and bread can actually
cause intoxication similar to alcohol consumption!
“There’s fungus/bacteria that transform the
carbohydrates to alcohol that will even register as
intoxicated on a breathalyzer,” says Isaac Alexis,
M.D., a renowned addiction specialist. This also
explains why people get addicted to carbs, which is
comparable to alcohol and drug addiction. Dr. Isaac can
share the mysteries of addiction and how to beat it for
good. 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 Alexis at

1.==> Behind Bernie Sanders’ New Hampshire Win

Primary season is underway and Bernie Sanders is
gaining momentum after his win in New Hampshire this
week. Political commentator and talk show host Arnie
Arnesen says Sanders appeals to those in America who
are currently hurting. “He has moved the entire agenda
of the Democratic Party not to the left, but to where
the essence and soul of the party has historically
been. About workers, about justice, about investment in
infrastructure, about health care as a right and an
environment that sustains us and does not serve the
interests of corporate success and America’s failure.
The New Dems under Bill Clinton moved the party into
the arms of Wall Street and had more in common with a
moderate Republican party that no longer exists in
America.” In addition to her daily talk show The
Attitude, Arnesen is a frequent political commentator
in Boston and New England radio and has appeared on CNN
and other major media. She served for eight years as a
member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives
and ran for governor of the state in 1992. Contact her
at nharnie@gmail.com; @pchowder

2. ==> Chinese Hackers Had You in 2017

The U.S. Attorney General has confirmed the 2017
Equifax hack was the work of the Chinese military. As
we enter the age of AI-assisted warfare, invite tech
expert Shelly Palmer to unpack some of the underlying
issues and explain what that means today. “In 2017,
only the most cutting-edge computer scientists could
have imagined the capability you would have in 2020 to
weaponize the Equifax data from 143 million Americans,”
says Palmer. “I’m not scared of Chinese hackers. I’m
not worried about what has been done with the Equifax
data. I’m worried about what will be done with all of
our data. We create so much of it every day, and we
openly share it with half the world.” He’ll discuss:
What data should absolutely be private? What data
should be private, but if hacked would be OK? What data
doesn’t matter? Shelly Palmer is CEO of The Palmer
Group, a strategic advisory, technology solutions and
business development practice. He’s Fox 5 New York’s
on-air tech and digital media expert, writes a weekly
column for Ad Age, and is a regular commentator on CNBC
and CNN. Contact him at (917) 886-1173;

3. ==> For Black History Month: Filmmaker on ‘Black in Space’

America’s experiences during the civil rights movement
and the space race are well documented. However, few
know about the moment these two worlds collided, when
the White House and NASA scrambled to put the first
black astronaut into orbit. Filmmaker Laurenz Grant’s
new documentary “Black in Space: Breaking the Color
Barrier” is the story of the decades-long battle
between the U.S. and the Soviet Union to be the first
superpower to bring diversity to the skies, told by the
black astronauts and their families, who were part of
this little-known chapter of the Cold War. “Black in
Space” airs this month on the Smithsonian Channel.
Grant can talk about the film as well as her other
African American-themed documentaries including “Stay
Woke: The Black Lives Matter Movement,” “Slavery and
the Making of America,” and “Jesse Owens.” Contact John
Angelo at John@premieretv.com

4.==> How a U.S. Military Interpreter Escaped ISIS and Freed Hundreds

Born in Iraq and fluent in Kurdish, English, Kurmanji
and Arabic, Shaker Jeffrey became one of the youngest
military interpreters supporting the U.S. Army and
Special Forces during the War in Iraq. For his service,
he was promised a visa to America and a college
education. But that never happened and today he lives
in Germany, still waiting for his visa. Writer
Katharine Holstein was introduced to Shaker by his
former commanding officers. Invite her on your show and
hear how Shaker was both witness to the rise of ISIS
and genocide in Yazidi, and a hero rescuing hundreds of
kidnapped girls and gathering intel that would lead to
a bombing to create an escape route for those held in
the siege. Kate will also explain why she decided to
tell Shaker’s story and how she has been working to
help bring him to America. Her new book is “Shadow on
the Mountain: A Yazidi Memoir of Terror, Resistance and
Hope.” Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703) 646-5137;

that are often overlooked by wine snobs. His
approachable take on wine will encourage everyone in
your audience—even the bargain-hunters—to chuckle and
experiment more. You’ll also learn about the vital role
wine played in developing the world’s trade routes, how

more. Jim is the award-winning author of “50 Ways to

6. ==> Be the Man She Wants (Without Breaking the Bank)

Men often think they have to spend a fortune to impress

true. Invite the author of “The Evolved Masculine: Be

share five tips to create the Valentine’s Day of her

8. ==> #MeToo Needn’t Ruin Valentine’s Day

From cards and jewelry to lingerie and sex toys,
merchants will rack up approximately $20 billion in the
U.S. alone in Valentine’s Day sales, not including all
the illegal porn downloaded on that day. In the era of
#MeToo, where does Valentine’s Day fit? Christine Rose
says even though millions of women bear scars from
being treated as objects, both in the workplace and
outside of it, there’s still reason to celebrate
Valentine’s Day. “The world is at a tipping point, and
as culture shifts change how men and women treat one
another, there’s room in the New Normal (a world beyond
#MeToo stories) and reason for romance and celebration
of much of what makes Valentine’s Day a special
holiday.” Christine Rose, ACC, is owner of Christine
Rose Coaching & Consulting. A survivor of multiple
abusers and the mother of two daughters, she is the
author of “Life Beyond #MeToo: Creating a Safer World
for Our Mothers, Daughters, Sisters & Friends.” Contact

9. ==> Valentine’s Day Gifts for People in Pain

suggestions for gifts for a Valentine who’s in pain.

10. ==> This Guest Travels, Lives and Works in a 39-Foot RV

Tim Winders and his wife are living the life many
people dream of as they roll down the highway in their
39-foot RV they named Theo that serves as their home
and office. For anyone who has wondered what it would
be like to travel full time while making money as you
go Tim has the answers. He is so persuasive that his
adult son also works and lives in his own RV. Tim can
also talk about his inspiring life journey: he went
from owning seven-figure businesses and over 100
properties to bankruptcy, homelessness and having $100
in his bank account before rebounding to his current,
more intentional lifestyle. Tim has over 25 years’
experience as a coach for business owners, executives,
and leaders. He also hosts the SeekGoCreate podcast and
is finishing his first novel. He and his wife have
enjoyed the nomadic lifestyle in New Zealand, Australia
and all over North America. Contact him at 404-846-4639; twinders@rtirguests.com. Ask about last-
minute availability

11. ==> What Dooms Most Grads to Slave Wages and Drudge Jobs

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college
professor, he heard students complain about the high
cost of tuition and burdensome debt they were taking
on. But what he didn’t hear most students talking about
was even more important: what their exit strategy from
college was going to be and how they intended to
monetize their skills once they were out. Glen says,
“Students need to define their value, not have an
employer define it for them. What are they worth?
Educators and parents have to help them figure that out
while they are still in school.” Glen is making it his
mission to ensure parents have important conversations
with their children, well before the first college
tour. He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound
like as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way
universities use tuition money to preserve their
business interests to the detriment of students. Glen
is a former college professor, a documentarian and the
author of two books. His latest is “A Degree In
Homelessness? Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.”

12. ==> Success Secrets of the Rich and Famous (They’ll Work for You Too)

Bill Gates, Carrie Underwood, Warren Buffett and many
others began their journeys to success while they were
still college students, but it wasn’t the courses they
took that got them where they are today. Invite Lindy
and Tom Schneider on your show and discover surprising
things billionaire dropouts got from college that led
to their success, the most important thing many
successful people did off-campus, and one simple
technique both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton used to
help launch them to the White House! Lindy and Tom
Schneider are co-authors of “College Secrets of Highly
Successful People: Keys to Launching a Great Life.” For
more than a dozen years, Tom and Lindy have been
helping thousands of students launch fulfilling,
lucrative careers. The professional college advisors
have made numerous appearances on radio and TV and have
been quoted in major publications. Contact Lindy
Schneider at (602) 562-8669; LSchneider@rtirguests.com

13. ==> The Link Between Porn and Human Trafficking

Earlier this month a Superior Court judge in California
awarded $13 million to 22 women who claimed they had
been forced to perform in videos by three adult-film
producers. The women answered an online ad for models
offering $5,000 to “pretty, preppy college-type girls,”
who were then forced to perform in adult videos. “This
is just one example of how human trafficking can affect
anyone,” says Raleigh Sadler, a Christian reverend and
founder of the human trafficking awareness group Let My
People Go. The author of “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human
Trafficking” can discuss how anyone can become a
victim, why it goes undetected so often, and how to end
it. Contact Raleigh Sadler at RSadler@rtirguests.com;

14. ==> Outsmart Your Brain: How to Make Healthy Choices When You Crave Comfort

It’s winter and millions of us are not only more
sedentary, we’re feeling downright sluggish and
depressed. We’re eating foods we think will give us
comfort in the cold, but many times they are not the
healthiest choices. Invite Ed Dodge, M.D., to share
ways to keep a positive mindset and how that can make
all the difference to your success in maintaining a
healthy eating regime. He’ll tell your audience which
wholesome foods can help you feel full so you stay on
track and share four types of processed foods that
contribute to the development of life-threatening
chronic diseases. Dr. Dodge’s latest book, “Family: A
Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in Africa and the U.S.,”
shares his journey from his childhood in the wilds of
Africa, where he enjoyed exotic fruits and ate antelope
and buffalo, to experiencing culture shock as a teen
returning to the U.S. After becoming a physician, he
returned to Africa to work and later to volunteer. As
host of Healthy Living Radio, Dr. Dodge has interviewed
groundbreaking leaders in medicine and he has been
honored by the Johns Hopkins University Center for a
Livable Future. Contact Dr. Ed Dodge at (484) 259-9887;

15. ==> Could Sloppy Record-Keeping Cost You Your Life?

In a medical emergency, anyone can be rattled enough to
forget important details, finding themselves unable to
answer physicians’ important questions about their
health or that of a loved one. Anne McAwley-LeDuc, a
retired nurse practitioner (APRN), learned this the
hard way after her husband fell down the stairs and
showed signs of paralysis. At the hospital, physicians
sought answers about his medical history but she
couldn’t answer vital questions. McAwley-LeDuc wants to
help others — especially ordinary folks with no medical
background — advocate for themselves and their loved
ones for better and safer health care. She’ll discuss
the role patients play in reducing medical errors, ways
disorganized medical records can be deadly, and why so
few patients keep good medical records or grasp the
need to do so. Anne McAwley-LeDuc developed the
“Personal Health Organizer” to keep essential medical
information in one place and provide a snapshot of your
health history. Contact her at (860) 642-1786;

16. ==> Beyond Football: A Concussion Cure

Football is under attack because of the high risk of
concussions and the resulting consequences, but
concussions happen in all types of sports and even non-
sporting activities. What if there was a way to make
concussions a thing of the past? Or at least a way to
diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries more easily
and quickly? Interview Dr. Paul Wand to hear about the
“Wand Protocol” that could do all that and more. He,
along with other private practitioners, has created
ways to diagnose and treat concussions which if put
into place, could save the NFL as well as other sports
where concussions happen on a regular basis. Paul Wand,
M.D., P.A., has been a medical doctor for 35 years
specializing in the field of neurology. He’s the author
of “The Concussion Cure: 3 Proven Methods to Heal Your
Brain.” Contact Dr. Wand at (954) 743-5380;

17. == > How to Raise Boys to Respect Women

As a single dad of two young boys, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne is especially aware of the pressures young
males face to be one of the boys when it comes to how
they treat girls. “That’s why it’s crucial for boys to
have dads and other strong male role models who set
examples about how to respect women,” he says. Pastor
Eric can share tips for how to raise boys to be
gentlemen in this complex modern age. He is the second-
generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance Ministries in
Richardson, Texas, and the author of the upcoming book
“Are You Ready For Marriage?” Contact him at (214)

18. ==> Conversation Crisis: How Convenience Has Ruined Connection

When’s the last time you had a decent conversation?
Today we find ourselves in an overly connected society
that ironically experiences very little real connection
between individuals. Why? “Much of this can be laid at
the doorstep of technology that reinforces our desire
for convenience. We choose speed and availability over
true connection, individual to individual, face to
face,” says Ivan Obolensky. Ivan says the deterioration
in the art of communication can be seen not only across
kitchen tables but also on the national stage. “You
only have to look as far as political debates and late-
night pundits to see how far we have fallen!” Interview
Ivan and find out how to create meaningful
conversations (start by being curious and interested
instead of being interesting) and what to avoid at all
costs (don’t commit assumicide.) Ivan Obolensky is the
author of “Eye of the Moon.” Contact him at (818)

19. ==> 10 Tips to Help Moms Make Room for their Dreams

Moms are always busy with endless chores, overwhelmed
with to-do lists, and burned out at the end of the day.
We put our kids first and often times ignore our dreams
and passions in life in order to take care of everyone
else in the family. But with the right strategy, can we
possibly make the time to pursue our goals? Invite
children’s author and mom of three Rosie J. Pova to
share 10 tips on following your passions without giving
up. She can tell your audience how to get started, how
to stay motivated even after multiple setbacks, and how
to overcome failure. She is the author of several
children’s books including her latest picture book,
“Sarah’s Song.” Pova has been featured on radio and in
print. Contact her at (214) 225-0856;

20. ==> This Guest Enjoys 3 Free Cruises a Year (and You Can Too)

Fifteen years ago when she retired, Cynthia Barnett had
a fantasy: she wanted to enjoy cruising without having
to pay for it and she figured out how to do exactly
that! Cynthia has cruised to Alaska, Hawaii, Europe,
and the Caribbean without paying a thing; for example,
during a two-week cruise, she enjoys all the cruise
ship amenities (gourmet food, a single inside room
cabin, etc.) in exchange for giving four less than an
hour talks on topics that interest her such as
Caribbean festivals or female pirates. She can tell
your audience that entertaining guests during days on
the high sea are a priority for cruise lines and coming
up with topics to lecture about is not as hard as you
might think. Cynthia can talk about how she got
started, what equipment you would need, and how to get
your foot in the cabin door if you have never done this
before. Cynthia Barnett, Ph.D., is the author of “I’m
Not Done Yet and You Shouldn’t Be Either,” a book that
inspires people to make the most out of their
retirement years. She’s been featured in the Wall
Street Journal and Time magazine and other media and is
the recipient of the inaugural AARP Purpose Prize,
which recognizes people over 50 who have “used their
wisdom and experience to revitalize their lives and
make the world a better place.” Barnett earned a

1.==> Fact-Checking Trump’s SOTU Address

President Trump went on the offensive against socialism
and left-wing policies during a defiant third State of
the Union address to Congress Tuesday night but
according to the group Fact-Check.org, the address
included false and misleading claims on jobs, wages,
energy, immigration and more. Trump claimed the economy
is “the best it has ever been.” But GDP growth fell to
2.3% last year and economists predict further slowing
this year. He said he brought about low unemployment by
reversing “years of economic decay” and “failed
economic policies,” when in fact over 1 million more
jobs were added in the 35 months before he took office
than in the first 35 months since. He also boasted that
“a long, tall, and very powerful wall is being built”
along the southern border, and more than 100 miles have
been completed. But only one mile is located where no
barriers previously existed. Fact-Check.org, a project
of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University
of Pennsylvania, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit consumer
advocate group that monitors the factual accuracy of
what is said by major U.S. political players in the
form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news
releases. Contact Eugene Kiely, director of
FactCheck.org, at (215) 573-7070; (215) 898-9400 or
Editor@FactCheck.org

2. ==> Worst-Case Scenario of a Coronavirus Pandemic

Amid furious efforts to stem the tide of the expanding
coronavirus outbreak, health officials are soberly
preparing for the growing risk of a worldwide pandemic.
Increasingly, some experts say, the question is a
simple one: How ugly will this get? “I think at this
point, containment is already a lost cause,” says
Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for
Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the
University of Minnesota. Osterholm’s comments echo grim
realism from health officials at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Although the disease’s
severity appears to be lower than once feared,
Osterholm says the 2019 novel coronavirus’s
transmission patterns so far are reminiscent of
influenza. “We can surely minimize transmission in
health-care facilities and some public spaces. But
beyond that, this virus is going to kind of do what it
damn pleases,” he says. Contact Michael Osterholm at
(612) 626-6770; mto@umn.edu

3. ==> Dismantling Environmental Rules Pushes U.S.
Back, Not Forward

No one should want the United States to return to the
days of free-flowing industrial pollution, of dead
waterways and poisoned birds, when science and society
didn’t fully understand how large-scale environmental
destruction happens and how to stop it. And yet, Peter
Groffman, Ph.D., says that’s essentially where the
Trump administration is taking us with newly
implemented rules that dismantle decades of
environmental protections. “The rules, which went into
effect last Thursday, allow all sorts of pollutants to
be dumped into our wetlands, seasonal streams,
waterways that temporarily flow underground and
transient streams that result from rain and snowfall.
These waterways ultimately feed into the larger bodies
that provide much of our drinking water.” Dr. Groffman
says removing their protection creates a real and
urgent danger to our health and environment. Dr. Peter
Groffman is a professor at the Advanced Science
Research Center at The Graduate Center of The City
University of New York. Contact him at (212) 413-3143;

4.==> Journo Who Predicted Trump’s Win Explains His
High Approval Rating

Some may be surprised by Donald Trump’s approval
rating, which is at an all-time high right now. But not
Nita Wiggins. The journalism professor and former
journalist predicted Donald Trump’s win back in October
2015, 13 months before the election, reading the signs
of a political shift. But what does she see happening
in 2020? How does President Trump defy all previous
election taboos? Why do his backers stay, despite sex
scandals, impeachment, and warmongering? What does Nita
see clearly that political reporting fails to report?
Nita will help your audience avoid election-mania,
misinformation, and “shiny object” reporting, and stay
sane throughout the impeachment trial fallout and the
primary voting season. She worked from coast-to-coast
for 21 years as a TV reporter and anchor, and she is
the author of “Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race,
Sports and Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.”
Nita now teaches journalism in Paris, France. Contact
her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

5. ==> Why Women Directors Were Snubbed at Oscars

When the 2020 Academy Award winners are announced on
Sunday, acclaimed female directors such as Greta Gerwig
(‘Little Women’) and Lulu Wang (‘The Farewell’) will be
conspicuously absent. “Despite the progress Hollywood
has made in hiring women to direct blockbuster films,
unfortunately, women directors still face an uphill
battle to get projects that are film awards contenders
due to the type of films they are hired to direct,”
says director Kailin Gow. She can share how women can
break through the glass ceiling in this and other male-
dominated industries. She is a director/filmmaker and
the founder of Sparklesoup Inc. and an internationally
recognized, multi-award-winning bestselling author who
has sold over 5.5 million books. Contact Kailin at
KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121

6. ==> What Kobe Bryant’s Death Tells Us about Heroes

Why has the death of a retired basketball player caused
so much anguish to so many persons? Because human
beings need heroes–and very often great athletes are
champions most immediately recognizable to us. If we
are to understand the impact of Kobe Bryant’s life and
premature death, we must answer these questions: What
makes someone a hero? Why do human beings need them?
Why are great athletes so often looked up to as heroes?
Andrew Bernstein can help audiences discover the
answers. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from the City
University of New York. His just-published book is
“Heroes, Legends, Champions: Why Heroism Matters.” The
book demonstrates what heroes are, how they are
distinguished from non-heroes, and why mankind needs
them. Contact Andrew Bernstein at (845) 219.4566;

7. ==> Legal Loophole Could Give Your Job to a
Foreigner

Suppose you came into work and were told that you were
being replaced by a foreigner making half your salary
whom you had to train before you go. This is currently
happening to stellar employees at AT&T, Disney, Verizon
and Toys ‘R’ Us, who were tossed out of their jobs
thanks to a legal loophole that lets companies import
non-U.S. citizens to do jobs college-educated Americans
can do. Let American jobs advocate Hilarie Gamm explain
this threat to your audience and why everyone from
recent graduates to experienced workers could be
victims. A veteran talk show guest and co-founder of
the nonpartisan American Workers Coalition, Gamm can
bust the myth of the shortage of U.S. STEM workers and
talk about legislation that could close the loophole
that is unfairly benefiting certain tech companies and
nationalities. Gamm can also be joined by her AWC co-
founders, Marie Larson and Barbara Birch. Gamm is the
author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis and
The Road Map to Change.” Contact her at (203) 571-3819;

8. ==> Fun Valentine’s Day Show: Why Does My Partner Do
That?

This Valentine’s Day can be a game-changer for the
couples in your audience if you book clinical
psychologist Dr. Stacy Dicker as soon as possible.
That’s because Stacy can offer fresh insights using a
combination of psychology and astrology that can bring
couples closer no matter how long they’ve been dating
or married. Want to know why your mate does what he or
she does that drives you crazy? Hear ways that they are
like you or different than you that you hadn’t
considered? Find out from the author of “Psychstrology:
Apply the Wisdom of the Cosmos to Gain Balance and
Improve Your Relationships.” Stacy Dicker, Ph.D., is a
psychologist who has been working with clients for 20
years using astrology as her secret sauce. She taught
psychotherapy courses to upper-level psychology majors
at the University of Colorado, Boulder, for nearly ten
years. Contact her at (720) 327-1732;
sldicker@yahoo.com

9. ==> Yes, You Can Buy Love

Sure, the Beatles said that “money can’t buy me love”
and most of us assume that the Beatles knew what they
were singing about. But according to Barry Shore, you
can buy love—the real, authentic good stuff—as long as
you apply his simple ASK formula. In time for
Valentine’s Day, let Barry, a former quadriplegic
turned happiness expert, share the three things you
need to do so that in “in the end, the love you take is
equal to the love you make.” Shore’s mission is
spreading the joy of being alive no matter what
adversities people face. He hosts The Joy of Living
radio program and podcast and has been featured in or
appeared on O Magazine, Fox, NBC, ABC, and Forbes.

10. ==> Pair Wine with Chocolate for Ultimate
Valentine’s Day Sensuality

Let’s be honest, we’ve all given or received a box of
chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Hopefully to, or from,
someone very special. Yet how many of those heartfelt
offerings do we really remember? Mmm … none? But with
the assistance of some well-chosen wine, we can all
create a stellar tasting experience that will be etched
in our sweetie’s memory for years to come. Let wine
guru Jim Laughren, CWE, show your audience how to set
the stage for a delicious and memorable Valentine’s Day
after-dinner snuggle-up. He will discuss the long and
remarkable relationship between wine and chocolate and
how we can pair this sensuous twosome for maximum
delight. Contact Jim at (954) 317-9623;
JLaughren@rtirguests.com

11. ==> How to Stop Attracting Losers

Are you tired of always being in relationships with
people who are bad for you? Invite Arnoux Goran,
author, speaker, and the world’s #1 expert in personal
transformation, to reveal how you can stop attracting
losers. He’ll share the real reason why we’re attracted
to people who aren’t good for us and why, no matter how
often we promise ourselves we’ll choose someone better
next time, we end up with a loser again. Goran has the
solution to stop being a “loser magnet” and to break
the cycle forever so you can find your perfect match.
His upcoming book, “The Answer: How to Change Your Life
and Make Your Dreams Come True,” reveals how to release
negative emotions permanently and truly change your
life by addressing the cause of repeating patterns.
Goran has been featured on radio and television
nationwide. Contact him at (878) 203-8231;

12. ==> Could Self-Doubt Be the Key to Your Career
Success?

Leaders are expected to be confident, but what can you
do if you’re in a leadership position and you lack
confidence in your abilities? Author and leadership
expert Marc Pitman says that self-doubt may actually
mean you’re on the verge of greatness. Invite him to
reveal the 3 main factors that can bring out the best
leader in you. He can also share how to overcome past
failures to achieve career success. His forthcoming
book, “The Surprising Gift of Doubt,” provides a
framework for leaders to move past feeling like a fraud
and manage teams more effectively. Ask him how to
overcome the feeling you’re “broken,” and why it can be
dangerous to follow every new leadership system or
self-help guru. Contact Marc Pitman at (317) 751-1610

13. ==> Carrying a Gun for Protection — Hear This
Expert

Your neighbors, co-workers and friends are among
today’s millions of responsible gun owners. Many more
(perhaps yourself) are considering gun ownership in
this era of mass killings, home invasions and attacks.
Invite Chris Bird to educate you and your audience
about gun safety and self-defense. A sought-after
expert on gun rights and personal protection, Chris can
answer: Why are methods of observation as important as
one’s weapon? What steps help you survive a public
shooting? What are his insights about recent attacks at
schools, workplaces, community events and places of
worship? With 30+ years of firearm safety experience,
Chris Bird is the author of several books including
“Surviving a Mass Killer Rampage,” “The Concealed
Handgun Manual” and “Thank God I Had a Gun!” Have your
listeners call in during the interview with their gun
questions. Contact Chris Bird at (210) 686-4440;

14. ==> Why is Teen Chronic Pain up 800%?

When you think of chronic pain you are likely to
imagine older people whose bodies have broken down over
time—not teens. Let David Hanscom, M.D., share a topic
you’ve probably never heard before as he reveals why
teenage chronic emotional and physical pain is robbing
America of its future, having risen more than 800% in
the last ten years. But he does have good news: the
anxiety that is fueling young people’s pain can be
dealt with and he’ll share ways the body’s stress
chemicals can be reduced, and what we should be
teaching children in elementary school that would be
game-changing. Dr. Hanscom is an orthopedic spine
surgeon who quit his surgical practice to teach
patients and medical practitioners how to solve chronic
pain. His most recent book is “Do You Really Need Spine
Surgery?” Contact him at (206) 890-1892;
david@backincontrol.com

15. ==> Kids are Right: School is Boring

It’s no surprise that so many kids complain about
school being boring. Between mandated tests and
outdated teaching methods, many students would rather
be anywhere than in a school classroom. How do we
maintain the intrinsic motivation students bring with
them to kindergarten for all 13 years of K-12
education? Lee Jenkins says there is no limit to what
schools can accomplish when students are still
motivated like they once were in kindergarten. Invite
him on your show to discuss how this is possible with
examples from all grade levels and subjects. Lee
Jenkins has been an educator and administrator both in
public schools and universities. He’s the author of
“How to Create a Perfect School,” with a foreword by
Jack Canfield. Contact him at (484) 306-8784;

16. ==> Reading Glasses Are Worsening Your Vision

Nathalie Fiset M.D., started using reading glasses at
the age of 41. After a few months, her vision worsened,
even when she was using the reading glasses! Then she
had an epiphany: the glasses weren’t helping her, they
were making her eyesight worse. A retired family
physician, Dr. Fiset will explain how listeners are
harming their eyesight by using contacts, reading
glasses and LASIK and share four secrets to normal
vision after 40. She’ll also reveal how anyone can get
better eyesight in just one month. Dr. Nathalie Fiset
has appeared on radio, TV, podcasts and in newspapers.

18. ==> Music to Our Ears: Solving America’s Culture
Crisis

If life is like a symphony, then Gerald Leonard
believes we’re a little out of tune these days. The
professional musician, management consultant and
culture change expert says America is currently having
a culture crisis in politics, business and society. “In
order to change our national values, we first must
change our vision,” he says. “If truth is really valued
then we must make it more important than the expediency
of just getting ahead through politics. If our vision
and values are off, then we will continue to have a
negative culture.” Leonard will discuss the seven
principles that can be used to create any
culture—including at the highest levels of government
—and how they can be applied to change our national
culture. Gerald Leonard is president and CEO of
Principles of Execution, a strategic project portfolio
management and IT governance consulting practice. He is
the author of “Culture Is The Bass: 7 Steps to Creating
High Performing Teams.” Contact him at (443) 622-4740;

19. ==> How Your Personality Type Affects Your Health

Changing bad habits is tough, but wellness expert
Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C., IFMCP, says knowing your
personality type can help ease the struggle to change
habits—especially those that relate to your health.
Invite Dr. Nathalie to share four core personality
types that come into play when changing health habits
and why each requires a different approach. “People who
are detail-oriented require all the facts before
beginning a program. They’re not going to jump on board
the latest health trend until they have consulted
professionals and done the research. But if they’re not
careful they can suffer from analysis paralysis.”

20. ==> Why Do People Believe in Hell?

Eternal damnation vs. eternal salvation. Notre Dame
theologian David Bentley Hart’s recent New York Times
op-ed on the subject challenges the “historical
validity, biblical origins, philosophical cogency and
moral sanity of the standard Christian teaching on the
matter of eternal damnation.” Invite Dr. Hart for a
controversial discussion about why he believes so many
people believe in hell. “People rejoice in the thought
of hell to the precise degree that they harbor hell
within themselves. I believe heaven and hell alike are
both within us all, in varying degrees, and that for
some, the idea of hell is the treasury of the most
secret, most cherished hopes — the hopes of being
proved right when so many were wrong, of being admired
when so many are despised, of being envied when so many
have been scorned.” David Bentley Hart, Ph.D., is an
Eastern Orthodox scholar of religion, a philosopher,
writer, and cultural commentator, and a Templeton
Fellow at the University of Notre Dame Institute of
Advanced Study. His latest book is “That All Shall Be
Saved: Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation.” Contact

1.==> Coronavirus Poses 3 Tests for Global Public Health

The rapid spread of the Wuhan coronavirus, which the
World Health Organization declared a global health
emergency last Thursday, is immediately testing the
multilateral system’s capacity to respond to a
pandemic. Stewart Patrick says, “Preserving global
public health depends in large part on three things:
timely and credible action by governments where
outbreaks occur; firm direction and leadership from the
WHO in coordinating international responses; and
responsible behavior by other nations that naturally
want to protect their own citizens from disease.” He
says the coming weeks will reveal whether China, other
governments and the WHO have learned their lessons from
past pandemics, including Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome, or SARS, in 2002 and 2003 and of Ebola in
West Africa in 2014, and implemented needed reforms.
Stewart Patrick is a senior fellow in global governance
and director of the International Institutions and
Global Governance Program at the Council on Foreign
Relations. He’s the author of several books including
“The Sovereignty Wars: Reconciling America with the
World.” He also writes the blog, The Internationalist.

2. ==> Iowa Caucuses, Primary Season and Voting Issues

After a year of campaigning, the first votes were cast
in the 2020 presidential primaries yesterday. Invite
Rob Richie, president of FairVote, a nonpartisan
electoral reform organization, to discuss how the Iowa
caucus process works and how to improve the way we
elect our leaders. He’ll explain ranked-choice ballots
where voters rank candidates in order of choice, early
voting and why it matters, and other election-related
issues, including changes to voting we’ll see this
year. He says, “One of the year’s most encouraging
developments is that early Democratic voters in Nevada
and all Democratic voters in Alaska, Hawaii, Kansas and
Wyoming will cast ranked-choice ballots in their party-
run presidential contests.” Contact Ron Richie at
rr@fairvote.org, @FairVote or Emily Risch at
erisch@fairvote.org; (301) 270-4616

3. ==> How Do Americans View Impeachment?

The impeachment hearings will be over this week, and
while nobody expects to be shocked by the verdict, some
Americans may be surprised at how their neighbors and
coworkers view the proceedings. Janna Fite Herbison
says, “Most Americans who aren’t inside the D.C.
beltway or don’t work in New York media are no longer
keeping up with the details of impeachment.” Herbison,
a former television news reporter and press secretary,
says the way Americans view the impeachment varies
greatly based on culture, geography and or political
leanings. She adds, “To conduct an impeachment right
before the holidays because it was urgent — then let
it acquire dust in Congress for a month — was not the
best strategy for Democrats or Speaker Pelosi.
Especially with the upcoming election. It sent the
wrong signal to everyday Americans: this isn’t about
the Constitution. It’s politics as usual.” Janna Fite
Herbison is the author of “Southern in The City: A
Mason-Dixon View of Manhattan.” Contact her at (901)

4.==> TV Legal Expert on His Mother’s Connection to Hitler’s Suicide

Seventy-five years after the end of World War II and
the liberation of Auschwitz, journalist, TV personality
and law professor Stan Goldman says he’s uncovered the
reason for Adolf Hitler’s suicide … and it’s directly
related to his mother! As the war was winding down,
Goldman’s mother was working in the concentration camp.
He says she would almost certainly have died there if
not for one man’s negotiation with Heinrich Himmler.
Seeing the end of the war and realizing what would
happen to him, Himmler made a deal to release some
Jewish women, Goldman’s mother among them. Goldman will
explain how the release led to Hitler’s suicide, the
Holocaust’s lingering effects on his mother and him,
and why he believes it’s important to share stories of
the Holocaust now. Stanley Goldman is a professor of
criminal and evidence law at Loyola Law School. Earlier
in his career, he covered The Scott Peterson, O.J.
Simpson, Michael Jackson and Timothy McVey trials as
well as the Clinton Impeachment. He was also Fox News’
on-air legal correspondent for more than a decade. His
new book is “Left to the Mercy of a Rude Stream: The
Bargain That Broke Adolf Hitler and Saved My Mother.”

5. ==> Sexy Tips to Spice Up Valentine’s Day

Let’s face it, Valentine’s Day is a high-pressure
holiday, and we all feel like we have to make it
special. Most of us will be relying on the old
standards of candlelit dinners, flowers, and candy but
are they just becoming boring and stale? What better
time to ramp up your romance with a proven technique to
make your relationship extremely passionate and
intimately loving for this special day? Invite James
Beard to reveal how to connect with your partner on
another level and develop special intimacy in your

6. ==> #MeToo Needn’t Ruin Valentine’s Day

From cards and jewelry to lingerie and sex toys,
merchants will rack up approximately $20 billion in the
U.S. alone in Valentine’s Day sales, not including all
the illegal porn downloaded on that day. In the era of
#MeToo, where does Valentine’s Day fit? Christine Rose
says even though millions of women bear scars from
being treated as objects, both in the workplace and
outside of it, there’s still reason to celebrate
Valentine’s Day. “The world is at a tipping point, and
as culture shifts change how men and women treat one
another, there’s room in the New Normal (a world beyond
#MeToo stories) and reason for romance and celebration
of much of what makes Valentine’s Day a special
holiday.” Christine Rose, ACC, is owner of Christine
Rose Coaching & Consulting. A survivor of multiple
abusers and the mother of two daughters, she is the
author of “Life Beyond #MeToo: Creating a Safer World
for Our Mothers, Daughters, Sisters & Friends.” Contact

7. ==> How to Attract Your Soul Mate

No one wants to be alone for Valentine’s Day, but what

and had no luck? Author, speaker, and personal
transformation expert Arnoux Goran can reveal why most
techniques to find the love of your life don’t work and
how you can finally manifest your soul mate. Goran has
developed a method to reprogram yourself that was
studied by the University of California, Irvine, and
proven to be 100% effective. His new book is “The

8. ==> Royal Family Drama, Just like Yours

The world is obsessed with Megxit, the royal ruckus
involving Prince Harry and Meghan splitting their time
between Britain and North America and stepping back
from royal family duties. You don’t need to be a prince
or princess to understand the situation, according to
international communications expert Leeza Steindorf.
She says the couple simply want some space for their
family. “Whatever their bloodlines are, or are not,
whatever their cultural histories, they are, in the
end, simply a man and a woman committed to their
marriage, to championing good causes and to raising a
family in today’s crazy world.” Having spent most of
her life married to a European as an American overseas,
and the better part of two decades straddling a
professional and family life on both sides of the
Atlantic Ocean, Steindorf says one thing is clear.
“This is not a conversation about royalty and loyalty.
It is a conversation about making healthy relationships
and families work in the globally connected world of
today.” An international communications expert
specializing in peace education in schools, Steindorf
won national acclaim in Europe for the CORE Success
program that she designed after a school shooting in
Germany. Contact her at (541) 550- 0451;

9. ==> What Dooms Most Grads to Slave Wages and Drudge Jobs

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college
professor, he heard students complain about the high
cost of tuition and burdensome debt they were taking
on. But what he didn’t hear most students talking about
was even more important: what their exit strategy from
college was going to be and how they intended to
monetize their skills once they were out. Glen says,
“Students need to define their value, not have an
employer define it for them. What are they worth?
Educators and parents have to help them figure that out
while they are still in school.” Glen is making it his
mission to ensure parents have important conversations
with their children, well before the first college
tour. He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound
like as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way
universities use tuition money to preserve their
business interests to the detriment of students. Glen
is a former college professor, a documentarian and the
author of two books. His latest is “A Degree In
Homelessness?: Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.”

10. ==> Is Your Boss Crossing the Line? (and How to Recognize Fraud)

What does it really mean to be ethical in business and
life? Would you know fraud if you saw it? At work or in
yourself? Interview John Smith – an ordinary guy who
unwittingly got caught up in the 1980s’ S&L crisis and
found out the hard way that you don’t have to commit a
crime to be convicted of one. “Most people are unaware
of what fraud actually is so it’s overlooked and people
remain unaware of illegal activity around them. We all
need to know exactly what fraud is, how it happens, why
it happens, and how to avoid it!” says John. John Smith
shares his gripping story and the consequences of
ethical and unethical behavior in his book, “Embracing
the Abyss,” which chronicles his becoming part of a
fraud scandal and how he eventually received a
presidential pardon. Contact John Smith at (214)
216-2199; JSmith@rtirguests.com

11. ==> Why Self-Esteem is a Destructive Myth

Few concepts seem as warm and fuzzy as self-esteem. But
it is much different than having confidence in one’s
abilities. David Hanscom, M.D., will share with your
listeners why “self-esteem is one of the most damaging
concepts ever propagated.” Invite him on your show to
explain four ways the omnipresent self-esteem movement
is harmful. You’ll learn that while anxiety and
depression are necessary parts of life they can be
modulated, and ways we all can live our best possible
lives. Dr. Hanscom is an orthopedic spine surgeon who
quit his surgical practice to teach patients and
medical practitioners how to solve chronic pain. His
most recent book is “Do You Really Need Spine Surgery?”

12. ==> The Link Between Porn and Human Trafficking

Earlier this month a Superior Court judge in California
awarded $13 million to 22 women who claimed they had
been forced to perform in porn videos by three adult
film producers. The women answered a Craigslist ad for
models offering $5,000 to “pretty, preppy college-type
girls,” who were then forced to perform in sex videos.
“This is just one example of how human trafficking can
affect anyone,” says Raleigh Sadler, a Christian
reverend and founder of the human trafficking awareness
group Let My People Go. The author of “Vulnerable:
Rethinking Human Trafficking” can discuss how anyone
can become a victim, why it goes undetected so often,
and how to end it. Contact Raleigh Sadler at
RSadler@rtirguests.com; (917) 341-6758

13. ==> Could Sloppy Record-Keeping Cost You Your Life?

In a medical emergency, anyone can be rattled enough to
forget important details, finding themselves unable to
answer physicians’ important questions about their
health or that of a loved one. Anne McAwley-LeDuc, a
retired nurse practitioner (APRN), learned this the
hard way after her husband fell down the stairs and
showed signs of paralysis. At the hospital, physicians
sought answers about his medical history but she
couldn’t answer vital questions. McAwley-LeDuc wants to
help others — especially ordinary folks with no medical
background— advocate for themselves and their loved
ones for better and safer health care. She’ll discuss
the role patients play in reducing medical errors, ways
disorganized medical records can be deadly, and why so
few patients keep good medical records or grasp the
need to do so. Anne McAwley-LeDuc developed the
“Personal Health Organizer” to keep essential medical
information in one place and provide a snapshot of your
health history. Contact her at (860) 642-1786;

14. ==> You Don’t Know Beans about Pain (and Neither Do Most Docs)

If something is painful does it automatically mean it
is harmful? Is it better to fight pain or outsmart it?
What does CBT stand for? How can practicing it lessen
pain? What can you do now to avoid developing long-term
pain later? Get the answers from Trevor Campbell, M.D.,
a family physician who studied medicine at the
University of Cape Town, South Africa, before
immigrating to Canada, where he became interested in
treatments for chronic pain. He has worked in
multidisciplinary pain management and opioids reduction
programs and has served as medical director for a
leading pain management provider in Western Canada. His

15. ==> Doc Reveals How Carbs Can Make You Drunk!

Excess carbs aren’t just bad for your waistline and
overall health. Foods such as pasta and bread can
actually cause intoxication similar to alcohol
consumption! “There’s fungus/bacteria that transform
the carbohydrates to alcohol that will even register as
intoxicated on a breathalyzer,” says Isaac Alexis,
M.D., a renowned addiction specialist. This also
explains why people get addicted to carbs, which is
comparable to alcohol and drug addiction. Dr. Isaac can
share the mysteries of addiction and how we can beat it
for good. 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 Alexis

17. ==> “Death Speaks to Me!” Says the Undertaker’s Daughter

While growing up in a Midwestern funeral home where her
dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark received many
messages about life from those who died. “I received

they leave this earth. Margo will reveal her journeys
to the other side, and the important messages she
received about life from the deceased. She is the

18. ==> How to Raise Boys to Respect Women

As a single dad of two young boys, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne is especially aware of the pressures young
males face to be one of the boys when it comes to how
they treat girls. “That’s why it’s crucial for boys to
have dads and other strong male role models who set
examples about how to respect women,” he says. Pastor
Eric can share tips for how to raise boys to be
gentlemen in this complex modern age. He is the second-
generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance Ministries in

Countless teachers start out loving education yet often
land on the brink of leaving their profession. For a
topic that ultimately impacts every community, hear how
teachers can explore new goals, opportunities and
leads, and how directing their skills elsewhere
benefits everyone. Geraldine Hogan, a former educator,
attorney and judge, can discuss her own inspiring
journey and help listeners appreciate teachers’
challenges. She’ll explain how educators, other
professionals, and entrepreneurs can recognize and
bravely implement exciting plans for career changes.

Invite renowned MIT computer scientist and Silicon
Valley video game designer Rizwan Virk on your show and
listeners will never look at the world the same again!
He’ll explore the idea that our physical reality is
part of an increasingly sophisticated video game-like
simulation and how we may actually be inside a
simulated reality like The Matrix. Virk can discuss
virtual reality and augmented reality and what’s coming
down the pipe, artificial intelligence and the
approaching singularity, and the intersection of
science and spirituality. Rizwan Virk’s latest book,

Millions are mourning the sudden death of 41-year old
NBA great Kobe Bryant, his 13-year old daughter, and
seven others killed when their helicopter crashed
enroute to a basketball game in Calabasas, California.
David Arnold, a veteran airborne photographer covered
many of Kobe Bryant’s basketball games at the Staples
Center. He’s also flown over the area where Kobe’s
aircraft crashed while working on TV and films. Arnold
says the tragedy involved the same type of helicopter
Donald Trump has been flying for years, adding that it
has two jet engines like an airliner, and a very good
30-year safety record. David Arnold is an Emmy Award-
winning airborne cinematographer and the author of two

3. ==> Behind Impeachment Drawings: Interview a Reportage Artist

Views of the Senate chamber during President Trump’s
impeachment trial are limited by restrictive TV camera
rules so courtroom reportage artists are there to
capture the essence of what’s going on. As a reportage
artist for ABC and CBS network news, Lynn Matsuoka
covered many court trials, most notably as a court
illustrator for the Watergate hearings. Legendary
designer and artist Milton Glaser called Matsuoka
“probably the greatest living reportage artist.” Invite
her to share what it’s like to be an eyewitness to
history while using your artistry to convey the
courtroom scene to the public. Lynn Matsuoka is
internationally known for her drawings and paintings of
Japan’s sumo and Kabuki traditions. Her fashion
illustrations have appeared in the Wall Street Journal,

4. ==> Pair Wine with Chocolate for Ultimate Valentine’s Day Sensuality

Let’s be honest, we’ve all given or received a box of
chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Hopefully to, or from,
someone very special. Yet how many of those heartfelt
offerings do we really remember? Mmm … none? But with
the assistance of some well-chosen wine, we can all
create a stellar tasting experience that will be etched

6. ==> Yes, You Can Buy Love

Sure, the Beatles said that “money can’t buy me love”
and most of us assume that the Beatles knew what they
were singing about. But according to Barry Shore, you
can buy love—the real, authentic good stuff—as long as
you apply his simple ASK formula. In time for
Valentine’s Day, let Barry, a former quadriplegic
turned happiness expert, share the three things you
need to do so that in “in the end, the love you take is
equal to the love you make.” Shore’s mission is
spreading the joy of being alive no matter what
adversities people face. He hosts The Joy of Living

8. ==> Music to Our Ears: Solving America’s Culture Crisis

If life is like a symphony, then Gerald Leonard
believes we’re a little out of tune these days. The
professional musician, management consultant and
culture change expert says America is currently having
a culture crisis in politics, business and society. “In
order to change our national values, we first must
change our vision,” he says. “If truth is really valued
then we must make it more important than the expediency
of just getting ahead through politics. If our vision
and values are off, then we will continue to have a
negative culture.” Leonard will discuss the seven
principles that can be used to create any
culture—including at the highest levels of government
—and how they can be applied to change our national
culture. Gerald Leonard is president and CEO of
Principles of Execution, a strategic project portfolio
management and IT governance consulting practice. He is

9. ==> Why ‘Safe’ Everyday Products May Be Making You Sicker

Marcela Magda Popa, M.D., was forced to take early
retirement from her job as an internal medicine
physician when her autoimmune arthritis symptoms became
too difficult to manage. These symptoms, along with
worsening bouts of migraine headaches and repeated
breast testing abnormalities, led her to suspect and
research the effects of “generally recognized as safe”
products used in foods, cosmetics, cookware, hygiene
products and more. Dr. Popa says these generally
recognized as safe (GRAS) substances are not
necessarily safe, inert, or inactive, and our chronic
but constant exposure, even at low doses, can have an
impact on health. She’ll discuss the side effects of
inert ingredients in medicines and supplements,
substances to avoid if you get migraines or breast
tests reveal abnormalities, whether it’s possible to
live a chemical-free life, and what has helped her most
in the quest for reducing her arthritis symptoms.
Marcela Magda Popa, M.D. is a board-certified Internal
Medicine physician who graduated from Carol Davilla
Medical School in Bucharest, Romania, and completed

10. ==> Bigfoot and Aliens: A Real-Life Adventure Story

When she was 22, Patti Houtz was paid by an archeology
society to be part of an expedition that went in search
of Bigfoot. Also in the group were a National
Geographic photographer; her boyfriend John; and a
fisherman who was the latest person to see Bigfoot in
Big Cypress Swamp in the Everglades. What occurred
during the two days they spent in the swamp was
unforgettable and, in Patti’s opinion, life-changing,
and she is only now willing to share the experience on
your show. She’ll detail what happened and what she
thinks it means, and how her boyfriend ended up being
featured on the front page of The National Enquirer.
The Bigfoot story is just one of the adventures Houtz
shares in her upcoming memoir, “Solo By Choice.”

11. ==> Could Self-Doubt Be the Key to Your Career
Success?

Leaders are expected to be confident, but what can you
do if you’re in a leadership position and you lack
confidence in your abilities? Author and leadership
expert Marc Pitman says that self-doubt may actually
mean you’re on the verge of greatness. Invite him to
reveal the three main factors that can bring out the
best leader in you. He can also share how to overcome
past failures to achieve career success. His
forthcoming book, “The Surprising Gift of Doubt,”
provides a framework for leaders to move past feeling
like a fraud and manage teams more effectively. Ask him
how to overcome the feeling you’re “broken,” and why it
can be dangerous to follow every new leadership system
or self-help guru. Contact Marc Pitman at (317)

12. ==> Get Healthier by Knowing Your Personality Type

Changing bad habits is tough, but wellness expert
Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C., IFMCP, says knowing your
personality type can help ease the struggle to change
habits—especially those that relate to your health.
Invite Dr. Nathalie to share four core personality
types that come into play when changing health habits
and why each requires a different approach. “People who
are detail-oriented require all the facts before
beginning a program. They’re not going to jump on board
the latest health trend until they have consulted
professionals and done the research. But if they’re not
careful they can suffer from analysis paralysis.”
She’ll reveal the four personality types, the hidden
motivators behind them, and how to keep your
personality type from getting in the way of your health
goals. Dr. Nathalie is a chiropractor, a former
professional natural figure/bodybuilder, a wellness
consultant, speaker, and radio and TV personality.

insurance policy you or your parents don’t need
anymore! Did you know that $70 billion in life

14. ==> The Global Consequences of Africa’s Poverty

Why is mere survival so difficult for hundreds of
millions of Africans despite the continent’s rich
resources? Are the developed nations, multinational
corporations, and outside benefactors inadvertently
contributing to Sub-Saharan Africa’s “bottom billion”
status with their generosity? How can positive change
in the region be achieved? Invite author and speaker
Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni to discuss the long-term impacts of
poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa on the rest of the world
and engage in a dialogue regarding the misguided
benevolence of outside sympathizers. Ayeni, a retired
neurosurgeon, was born and raised in Nigeria. His
latest 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 steps needed to improve
the situation. Dr. Ayeni is the president of Pan Africa

15. ==> This Guest Enjoys 3 Free Cruises a Year (and You Can Too)

Fifteen years ago when she retired, Cynthia Barnett had
a fantasy: she wanted to enjoy cruising without having
to pay for it and she figured out how to do exactly
that! Cynthia has cruised to Alaska, Hawaii, Europe,
and the Caribbean without paying a thing; for example,
during a two-week cruise, she enjoys all the cruise
ship amenities (gourmet food, a single inside room
cabin, etc.) in exchange for giving four less than an
hour talks on topics that interest her such as
Caribbean festivals or female pirates. She can tell
your audience that entertaining guests during days on
the high sea are a priority for cruise lines and coming
up with topics to lecture about is not as hard as you
might think. Cynthia can talk about how she got
started, what equipment you would need, and how to get
your foot in the cabin door if you have never done this
before. Cynthia Barnett, Ph.D., is the author of “I’m
Not Done Yet and You Shouldn’t Be Either,” a book that
inspires people to make the most out of their
retirement years. She’s been featured in the Wall

and downsizing expert Marlena Uhrik, Ph.D., will tell
you, while we are strongly attached to them, a surplus
of possessions can also lead to chaos and wasted time

17. ==> How to Choose Healthy When You Crave Comfort

We’re in the middle of winter and millions of us are
not only more sedentary, we’re feeling downright
sluggish. We’re eating foods we think will give us
comfort in the cold, but they really aren’t the
healthiest choices. Invite Ed Dodge, M.D., to share
ways to keep a positive mindset and how that can make
all the difference to your success in maintaining a
healthy eating regime. He’ll tell your audience which
wholesome foods can help you feel full so you stay on
track and share four types of processed foods that
contribute to the development of life-threatening
chronic diseases. Dr. Dodge’s latest book, “Family: A
Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in Africa and the U.S.,”
shares his journey from his childhood in the wilds of
Africa, where he enjoyed exotic fruits and ate antelope
and buffalo, to experiencing culture shock as a teen
returning to the U.S. After becoming a physician, he
returned to Africa to work and later to volunteer. As
host of Healthy Living Radio, Dr. Dodge has interviewed
groundbreaking leaders in medicine and he’s been

18. ==> Prince Harry Is Like All Children Everywhere

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s desire to pull back
from their royal duties has caused stress in the royal
family and fascination among the royal watchers. As
author and former educator Peggy Sideratos will point
out, members of the royal family have nearly always
performed their obligations without public protest,
until now. Still, Sideratos says, Harry and Meghan’s
situation is not so different than one faced by
American children and their parents every day. “It’s a
process that begins even at the toddler stage, when
suddenly the child pushes the adult away and declares
that they want to do something themselves, whether they
are developmentally ready or not,” she explains.
Interview Sideratos to discover parenting lessons
hidden in the royals’ story and the universality of
raising emotionally intelligent children capable of
making their own independent decisions. Sideratos is
the author of “The Light Giver and Other Stories to
Raise Emotionally Healthy Children” and “The Light
Giver Stories Workbook.” Contact her at (917) 715-8788;

19. ==> Spirituality — The Missing Link for Wellness?

Optimum wellness has been elusive for countless people
during these hectic times. Whether individuals are
worried because of personal or family issues, career
challenges, money limitations or even the difficult
things we hear in the news (from political wranglings
to war to mass shootings), mental, emotional and even
physical health could suffer. Invite popular author and
award-winning medium Beth Lynch to discuss how a deeper
sense of spirituality can heal us at any age. She says
it’s exactly what’s missing in modern life! Ask Beth:
What are the true benefits of prayer and meditation?
How can spiritual teachings be the most powerful type
of medicine? Will believing in the afterlife (and even
visits from deceased loved ones) give us strength? How
can we see our dreams as healthful spiritual messages?
Why is it so important to encourage spirituality for
others, especially our children? What about spiritual-
based remedies for anxiety, grief and all types of
loss? How can one embrace or recapture spirituality in
one’s life? Contact Beth at (484) 705-2818;

20. ==> Moms, Make Room for Your Dreams: 10 Tips to Stay the Course

Moms are always busy with endless chores, overwhelmed
with to-do lists, and burned out at the end of the day.
We put our kids first and often times ignore our dreams
and passions in life in order to take care of everyone
else in the family. But with the right strategy, can we
possibly make the time to pursue our goals? Invite
children’s author and mom of three Rosie J. Pova to
share 10 tips on following your passions without giving
up. She can tell your audience how to get started, how

1.==> How Do Americans View Impeachment?

Impeachment hearings are underway in Washington and
coverage is everywhere this week. Are Americans
watching? What do they think? Janna Fite Herbison says
it depends on where you live. “Most Americans who
aren’t inside the D.C. Beltway or don’t work in New
York media are no longer keeping up with the details of
impeachment. Those who live Oklahoma, Arizona and
Alabama are basically focused now on their 2020 budget,
New Year’s resolutions, and football playoffs.
Congressional hearings from last fall are in their
rearview mirrors.” Herbison, a former television news
reporter and press secretary, says the way Americans
view the impeachment varies greatly based on culture,
geography and/or political leanings. She adds, “To
conduct an impeachment right before the holidays
because it was urgent — then let it acquire dust in
Congress for a month — was not the best strategy for
Democrats or Speaker Pelosi. Especially with the
upcoming election. It sent the wrong signal to everyday
Americans: this isn’t about the Constitution. It’s
politics as usual.” Janna Fite Herbison is the author
of “Southern in The City: A Mason-Dixon View of
Manhattan.” Contact her at (901) 568-2080;

2. ==> Journalist Explains Why Trump Supporters Hold On

Talk to the journalism professor and former journalist
who, in October 2015, predicted Donald Trump’s win.
Yes, 13 months before the vote, Nita Wiggins read the
signs of the political shift. But what does she see
happening in 2020? How does President Trump defy all
previous election taboos? Why do his backers stay,
despite sex scandals, impeachment, and warmongering?
What does Nita see clearly that political reporting
fails to report? Nita will help your audience avoid
election-mania, misinformation, and “shiny object”
reporting, and stay sane throughout the impeachment
trial, the fallout, and the primary voting season. She
worked from coast-to-coast for 21 years as a TV
reporter and anchor and is the author of “Civil Rights
Baby: My Story of Race, Sports and Breaking Barriers in
American Journalism.” Nita now teaches journalism in
Paris, France. Contact her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

3. ==> The Sports Princess on Super Bowl 54

The 49ers will play the Chiefs in this year’s Super
Bowl, marking the first time they’ve met in the big
game. Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, bring Kate Delaney on
your show to share her view on who will win the

sporting events. Known as “The Sports Princess,” her
new book-is “Deal Your Own Destiny.” Contact Mark

mark@goldmanmccormick.com

4.==> Why Do People Believe in Hell?

Eternal damnation vs. eternal salvation. Notre Dame
theologian David Bentley Hart’s recent New York Times
op-ed on the subject challenges the “historical
validity, biblical origins, philosophical cogency and
moral sanity of the standard Christian teaching on the
matter of eternal damnation.” Invite Dr. Hart for a
controversial discussion about why he believes so many
people believe in hell. “People rejoice in the thought
of hell to the precise degree that they harbor hell
within themselves. I believe heaven and hell alike are
both within us all, in varying degrees, and that for
some, the idea of hell is the treasury of the most
secret, most cherished hopes — the hopes of being
proved right when so many were wrong, of being admired
when so many are despised, of being envied when so many
have been scorned.” David Bentley Hart, Ph.D., is an
Eastern Orthodox scholar of religion, a philosopher,
writer, and cultural commentator, and a Templeton
Fellow at the University of Notre Dame Institute of
Advanced Study. His latest book is “That All Shall Be
Saved: Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation.” Contact

celebrities as Aziz Ansari, Elaine Hendrix, Gus
Kenworthy and Lisa Loeb, as well as Golden Globe and
Emmy nominees. Invite him on your show to share candid,
practical, shoot-from-the-hip advice for anyone looking

following into Hollywood stardom to making a killer
audition tape. Newton can discuss a typical day for a
New York actor, why and how you should figure out your
acting “type,” tips for parents of child actors, and
how to find an agent. Matt recently coached on the set
of Ava Duvernay’s Emmy-winning show When They See Us,
as well as on Jessica Jones, Orange Is the New Black,
Blue Bloods, and countless other programs. He’s a
contributor to Backstage and the author of several
books including “The No B.S. Guide to the Acting Biz.”

6. ==> And You Thought the White House Couldn’t Get Any
Weirder

Did you know John Quincy Adams used to enjoy swimming
nude in the Potomac River? Or that doctors once held a
press conference to announce Dwight Eisenhower moved
his bowels? Or that Calvin Coolidge often conferred
with a raccoon? Or that First Lady Florence Harding
gave press interviews in her negligee? Or that George
H.W. Bush took showers with his dog? Author Hal
Marcovitz can talk about the many strange stories that
have been circulating around the White House since John
and Abigail Adams occupied the Executive Mansion,
including some very odd stories about the current
occupant. Marcovitz, a longtime journalist, is the
author of the novel “Painting the White House,” which
tells the story of an ordinary house painter who finds
himself at the center of White House intrigues and
misadventures. Contact him at (215) 718-6807 or

7. ==> 10 Years after SCOTUS’ Controversial Citizens
United Ruling

Ten years ago this week, the Supreme Court issued a
decision in Citizens United v. FEC that changed the
landscape of American elections. And Tiffany Muller
says, not for the better. “The Supreme Court’s naive
view of our electoral process has allowed money to
dictate national policy on everything from climate to
guns to drug costs. It’s given a bullhorn to wealthy
donors, who already had the loudest voices in the room.
This elite set of Americans has scored political power
on a magnitude not seen since the Gilded Age. In fact,
just 11 people gave $1 billion — or a fifth of all
donations to super PACs — from 2010 to 2018.” End
Citizens United is a political action committee working
to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court 2010 decision and end
unlimited and undisclosed money in politics. Contact

8. ==> Will You Lose Your Job to This Legal Loophole?

Suppose you came into work and were told that you were
being replaced by a foreigner making half your salary.
And, by the way, you’ll be training your replacement
before you go. This is currently happening to stellar
employees at AT&T, Disney, Verizon and Toys ‘R’ Us, who
were tossed out of their jobs thanks to a legal
loophole that lets companies import non-U.S. citizens
to do jobs that college-educated Americans have been
trained to do. Think it couldn’t happen to you?
American jobs advocate Hilarie Gamm will explain this
threat to your audience and why everyone from recent
graduates to experienced workers could be victims. A
veteran talk show guest and co-founder of the
nonpartisan American Workers Coalition, Gamm will bust
the myth that there’s a shortage of U.S. STEM workers
and talk about legislation that could close the current
loophole that unfairly benefits some tech companies and
nationalities. Gamm can also be joined by her AWC co-
founders, Marie Larson and Barbara Birch. Hilarie Gamm
is the author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech
Crisis and The Road Map to Change.” Contact her at

9. ==> The Factor That Dooms Most College Students

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college
professor, he heard students complain about the high
cost of tuition and burdensome debt they were taking
on. But what he didn’t hear most students talking about
was even more important: what their exit strategy from
college was going to be and how they intended to
monetize their skills once they were out. Glen says,
“Students need to define their value, not have an
employer define it for them. What are they worth?
Educators and parents have to help them figure that out
while they are still in school.” Glen is making it his
mission to ensure that parents have important
conversations with their children, well before the
first college tour. He’ll reveal what that conversation
should sound like as well as the paradoxical, self-
serving way universities use tuition money to preserve
their business interests to the detriment of students.
Glen is a former college professor, a documentarian and
the author of two books. His latest is “A Degree In
Homelessness? Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.”

10. ==> Kids are Right: School is Boring

It’s no surprise that so many kids complain about
school being boring. Between mandated tests and
outdated teaching methods, many students would rather
be anywhere than in a school classroom. How do we
maintain the intrinsic motivation students bring with
them to kindergarten for all 13 years of K-12
education? Lee Jenkins says there is no limit to what
schools can accomplish when students are still
motivated like they once were in kindergarten. Invite
him on your show to discuss how this is possible with
examples from all grade levels and subjects. Lee
Jenkins has been an educator and administrator both in
public schools and universities. He’s the author of
“How to Create a Perfect School,” with a foreword by
Jack Canfield. Contact him at (484) 306-8784;

11. ==> 5 Things You Can Do to Outsmart Pain

Who wouldn’t want to learn how to put suffering on
hold? Trevor Campbell, M.D., says, “When you understand
what pain is, you can work around it.” Let Dr. Campbell
tell you things about pain management that most doctors
don’t even know because the topic isn’t covered well in
medical school! You’ll learn why you shouldn’t fight
pain, that what hurts isn’t necessarily harmful, and
ways our thoughts can be our greatest handicap. Dr.
Campbell is a family physician who has worked in
multidisciplinary pain management and opioids reduction
programs and has served as s medical director for a
leading pain management provider in Western Canada. He
graduated from the University of Cape Town and has a
delightful South African accent. Dr. Campbell’s new

Hurting.” Contact him at (250) 217-7832;

12. ==> Carrying a Gun for Protection — Hear This
Expert

Your neighbors, co-workers and friends are among
today’s millions of responsible gun owners. Many more
(perhaps yourself) are considering gun ownership in
this era of mass killings, home invasions and attacks.
Invite Chris Bird to educate you and your audience

13. ==> Be an Office Hero: Run THE Perfect Meeting

Chances are you’ve attended some long-winded,
unproductive, perhaps argument-filled meetings. Even
motivated team members and leaders exit such gatherings
saying things like “Why did we even get together
today?” and “Now we know less than when we walked in!”
So turn things around and help create meeting heroes by
interviewing Teruni Lamberg, Ph.D. Dr. Lamberg will
share must-know factors about the best meetings you
will ever run or attend. Explore: determining the ideal
meeting length, date/time, venue and agenda …
facilitation techniques that keep attendees super-
engaged, attentive and ready to contribute ideas and
volunteer for assignments … surprising myths about
speakers and audio-visuals … whether meals and snacks
are a meeting magnet or a distraction … pros and cons
about remote electronic meetings and more. Dr. Lamberg
is the author of “Conducting Productive Meetings: How
to Generate and Communicate Ideas for Innovation” and
“Leaders Who Lead Successfully.” Contact Dr. Teruni
Lamberg at (775) 451-3086; TLamberg@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Simple, Powerful Approach to Addiction

As a physician who specializes in opioid addiction
treatment, Dr. Isaac Alexis is especially frustrated by
the epidemic number of high-profile celebrity
overdoses, which he says he could have prevented. “If I
had been given 30 seconds, I could have saved Prince,”
says Dr. Isaac. He’ll share his simple but powerful
approach to treating addiction. “It’s not just about
treating the addict,” he says. “It’s about treating
their environments and families. We have to treat the
addict as a human being.” Dr. Isaac completed an
internship in trauma surgery at Cornell University at
New York Hospital of Queens. He served as medical
director at the Department of Justice as well as
director of infection control and chair of the quality
improvement medical committee. He is the author of

17. ==> Overcome Winter Anxiety

For millions of people, colder weather brings the
blues, along with darker days and staying inside more
often. Learn how to recognize and tame seasonal anxiety
triggers when psychotherapist Elke Scholz visits your
show. Known as the Anxiety Warrior, your expert guest
will answer questions like what causes students,
teachers and parents alike to have “school season”
nervousness and uncertainty? Why is it so difficult to
deal with longer nights? Do money issues and health
challenges seem intensified, especially when we’re
paying for more (tuition, tougher travel, gift-
shopping)? Scholz, author of “Loving Your Life” and her
two “Anxiety Warrior” volumes, will also explore
wellness activities, meditations and sleep advice to
boost mood, why therapy needn’t include meds, and
embracing positives like seeing loved ones more,

and football, and pleasant winter activities
(everything from wintertime sports to cozy warmth by
the fireplace.) Contact Scholz at (705) 710-4315;

18. ==> Could You Be Failing at Resting?

No doubt you’ve heard that Americans are not getting
enough sleep. But did you know that we are not getting
enough rest either? Bring Saundra Dalton-Smith, M.D.,
on-air to explain why resting is a lot more than just
laying down and doing nothing. In fact, there are seven
types of rest we need to master to be at our best.

1.==> Why Impeach Now?

As the impeachment trial of President Trump gets
underway take a look at the emotion and motivation
behind the specific timing: exactly at the launch of
the Democratic primary season. Myke Merrill, D. Min
says, “They had to know that the trial would occur
right now, drowning out the voices of the many
candidates all vying for attention. Conviction seems
virtually impossible from the Republican-led Senate.
But they proceeded anyway, reasonably aware of the
potential interruption to the primary process. Why?”
Dr. Myke is the author of “Why Do People Act that Way?
(And What Can I Do About It?)” He’ll explain our five
basic emotions and core motivations as he discusses why
lawmakers are doing this now and how Americans can sort
through the complexities of this massive historical
moment. The author of 22 books, Dr. Myke was a panelist
on the national television show Ask the Pastor for 18
years. Contact him at (585) 615-6383;

2. ==> Psychology Behind the Gun Control Battle

Heavily armed pro-gun protesters descended on the town
of Richmond, Virginia, yesterday for a Second Amendment
rally sparked by fears over Democrats plans to imposes
stricter gun laws in the state. Thousands of people
attended the rally in Richmond which began as an act of
retaliation for recent law changes in the state which
will tighten gun laws. Clinical forensic psychologist
Dr. John Huber can discuss why Americans are so
passionate about the Second Amendment and explain
what’s currently going on in Virginia. He’ll explain
the psychology of both sides of the gun control
argument, why he thinks yesterday’s protest remained
peaceful, and how to keep future protests from turning
violent. Dr. Huber is chairman of the non-profit
Mainstream Mental Health. He’s appeared on over three
hundred top tier radio shows and thirty national
television programs. He’s also the host of Mainstream
Mental Health Radio, heard nationwide featuring
interviews with top mental health professionals.

3. ==> 10 Years After Citizens United: Corporations Are
Not People

Ten years ago this week, the Supreme Court issued a
decision in Citizens United v. F.E.C. that changed the
landscape of American elections. And Tiffany Muller
says, not for the better. “The Supreme Court’s naive
view of our electoral process has allowed money to
dictate national policy on everything from climate to
guns to drug costs. It’s given a bullhorn to wealthy
donors, who already had the loudest voices in the room.
This elite set of Americans has scored political power
on a magnitude not seen since the Gilded Age. In fact,
just 11 people gave $1 billion — or a fifth of all
donations to super PACs — from 2010 to 2018.” End
Citizen’s United is a political action committee
working to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court 2010 decision
and end unlimited and undisclosed money in politics.

4.==> Surprise! Young Voters Are Showing Up

Politics is in realignment. Based on recent research at
Tufts University’s Tisch College of Civic Life, young
voters, ages 18-29, played a significant role in the
2018 midterms and are poised to shape elections in 2020
and beyond. Dan Glickman of the Aspen Institute can
discuss what’s driving young voters to the polls now,
what issues they’re most interested in and why
Democrats shouldn’t take their current preference among
young voters for granted. He says, “Young voters are
suspicious of political parties and their loyalty to
either party is not particularly set. At least, not
yet.” Republicans, he says, may do particularly well to
focus on younger voters with libertarian tendencies
since young people are so dissatisfied with the current
level of political polarization the United States. The
Aspen Institute is a global nonprofit organization
committed to realizing a free, just, and equitable
society. Glickman is executive director of their
Congressional Program, a nongovernmental, nonpartisan
educational program for members of the United States
Congress. He spent 18 years in the U.S. House of
Representatives representing the 4th Congressional
District of Kansas and later served as the U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture. Contact him at (202) 736-5825

5. ==> Actress Offers Valentine’s Day Advice for the
Broken-Hearted

Valentine’s Day is a wonderfully romantic time, but it
can be difficult if you have a broken heart. Actor
Gabrielle Stone can relate and even offer advice to
those who dread the holiday. It may sound like a
Hollywood screenplay, but Gabrielle’s real romantic
life was quite the disaster a few years ago. She was
newly married when she discovered her husband’s 6-month
affair with a 19-year old. She moved out, filed for
divorce and then weeks later became swept up in a
whirlwind romance with plans for a month-long, Italian
adventure. When he reneged two days before the trip,
Gabrielle says it became a defining moment in her life.
Her new book, “Eat, Pray, #FML,” tells the story of why
she decided to take the trip alone, how it became a
wild adventure with more bad decisions, and what she
learned about love and loving oneself in the process.
Gabrielle Stone is an actor/director and the daughter
of Dee Wallace and the late Christopher Stone. Contact
Harlan Boll at harlan@bhbpr.com

6. ==> How to Survive a Mass Shooting

Mass shootings are happening at least monthly across
the U.S.! Adults and children have needlessly died or
been seriously injured when merely working, gathering,
studying, shopping or traveling. All types of public
locations have seen such carnage: schools, offices,
department stores, community events, factories, streets
and even places of worship. So what does it take to
come out alive when a rampaging shooter strikes in such
innocent settings? Would you (and your kids) know how
to find safety, shield others or retaliate? Would you
have the patience to observe yet make immediate, timely
decisions to react? Explore the vital answers, and hear
life-saving insights, when you interview personal
protection specialist Allen Banks, CEO of Proactive
Protection Agency. He has developed Active Shooter
Prevention and Workplace Violence Prevention Training,
plus special programs for schools and other locations.

7. ==> The Dark Side of Winning a Lawsuit

Talk about initiating a lawsuit and most people think:
Hefty settlement! Getting justice! (Or retribution.)
Healing and starting over. But legal trouble is
stressful and expensive and lawsuits can last years,
taking more out of you than you gain. So warns Francine
Tone, an attorney who’s been educating the public for
years about getting the right legal help, making wise
decisions, asking prudent questions, and proceeding
with caution as legal challenges unfold. On-air Tone
will explore stark realities about suing and being sued
and how even winning lawsuits can jeopardize one’s
business, marriage or health. Francine Tone is the
author of “What Every Good Lawyer Wants You to Know.”
Listeners will learn lawsuit myths and truths, what
winning or losing could mean, whether it’s best to
await the new year for legal activity, and even if TV
legal dramas approach real life. Contact Francine Tone,
Esq. at (531) 208-1297; FTone@rtirguests.com

8. ==> Why More Women Are Saying No to Motherhood

In 2018, the U.S. had the lowest number of births in 32
years, according to the National Center for Health
Statistics. Increasingly, women are delaying childbirth
into their late 30s or 40s. But a significant number
are deciding they simply don’t want motherhood—despite
the blowback they often receive from friends and loved
ones. Single and happily childless, Tamara Lashchyk, a
business consultant, career coach, bestselling author,
and former Wall Street executive, says despite all the
progress women have made toward equality, they still
face intense pressure to marry and raise a family. She
says, “I could literally tell my family I’d cured
cancer and the conversation would still end with, ‘But
are you dating anyone?’” Tamara is the author of “Lose
the Gum: A Survivor’s Guide for Women on Wall Street.”

9. ==> NFL: Young Players Retire Amid Concussion Crisis

At just 28, Luke Kuechly recently announced his
decision to retire from the NFL. He’s had several
injuries over his career including three known
concussions from 2015 through 2017, one of them a Grade
3 concussion that cost him the final six games of the
season. Dr. Paul Wand can discuss the NFL’s concussion
crisis and why more athletes are leaving the game for
fear of traumatic brain injury. He’ll also explain a
protocol that he and other private practitioners have
created that can diagnosis and treat traumatic brain
injuries easier and faster, and possibly make sports
concussions a thing of the past. Paul Wand, MD, PA has
been a medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the
field of neurology. He’s the author of “The Concussion
Cure: 3 Proven Methods to Heal Your Brain.” Contact Dr.
Wand at (954) 743-5380; PWand@rtirguests.com

10. ==> The Global Consequences of Africa’s Poverty

Why is mere survival so difficult for hundreds of
millions of Africans despite the continent’s rich
resources? Are the developed nations, multinational
corporations, and outside benefactors inadvertently
contributing to Sub-Saharan Africa’s “bottom billion”
status with their generosity? How can positive change
in the region be achieved? Invite author and speaker
Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni to discuss the long-term impacts of
poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa on the rest of the world
and engage in a dialogue regarding the misguided
benevolence of outside sympathizers. Ayeni, a retired
neurosurgeon, was born and raised in Nigeria. His
latest 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 steps needed to improve
the situation. Dr. Ayeni is the president of Pan Africa
Children Advocacy Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact him at

11. ==> How to be Anxiety-Free

It’s hard not to feel anxious when mass shootings,
white nationalism, a trade war with China and a
skittish stock market dominate the news. And then there
are our personal issues with loved ones and employers.
So when Sankarshan Das claims that he has not
experienced any personal anxiety in 40 years and can
teach anyone else to do the same it is worth a listen.
He’ll outline the mistakes most of us are making that
leave us panicky and the belief system we could adopt
that would not only make us happier but lead to greater
peace for mankind. Sankarshan Das is a former hippie, a
singer-songwriter who once appeared onstage between
Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. His song,
“The Peace Formula,” has been praised by Barack Obama.
Sankarshan Das circles the world twice a year singing
and speaking in promotion of global peace and spiritual
perfection. He’s the author of “Lead the World Out of
Chaos.” Contact him at (512) 835-8400;

12. ==> Most Important Question to Ask When Your Doc
Orders a Test

Doctors often send patients for tests and procedures
and are well-compensated for doing so. But there are
times when submitting to a test or procedure is likely
to be painful, counterproductive, or unnecessary, and
when the patient is elderly, the decision to authorize
can fall on the shoulders of adult children. Nurse
anesthetist Margaret Fitzpatrick says, “One-in-four
Medicare patients have tests that offer them little
value. In one year alone, 40% of Medicare patients have
had a test that falls into that category.” Fitzpatrick
will reveal 26 troublesome tests and offer sensible
guidance so listeners can steer clear of tests and
procedures that are unlikely to improve the quality of
their lives. Fitzpatrick has appeared on the Today
show, CNN Headline News, and many local news outlets
across the country to discuss ways to navigate the
health system. She creates individual action plans for
patients with specialized health needs. Her new book is
“Getting the Best Care: Rescue Your Loved One from the
Healthcare Conveyor Belt.” Contact Margaret Fitzpatrick

13. ==> What Prince Harry Can Teach You about Your Kids

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s desire to pull back
from their royal duties has caused stress in the royal
family and fascination among the royal watchers. As
author and former educator Peggy Sideratos will point
out, members of the royal family have nearly always
performed their obligations without public protest,
until now. Still, Sideratos says, Harry and Meghan’s
situation is not so different than one faced by
American children and their parents every day. “It’s a
process that begins even at the toddler stage, when
suddenly the child pushes the adult away and declares
that they want to do something themselves, whether they
are developmentally ready or not,” she explains.
Interview Sideratos to discover parenting lessons
hidden in the royals’ story and the universality of
raising emotionally intelligent children capable of
making their own independent decisions. Sideratos is
the author of “The Light Giver and Other Stories to
Raise Emotionally Healthy Children” and “The Light
Giver Stories Workbook.” Contact her at (917) 715-8788;
perdika1@yahoo.com

14. ==> How the Lack of Black Doctors Harms Patients

Did you know that only about 4 percent of all U.S.
physicians are black men? And that female black
physicians make up only 2 percent? The lack of black
physicians is a big problem that adversely affects the
health-care outcomes of black patients, who often
mistrust physicians who don’t look like them.
Christopher H. Hall is an ER doctor in Mississippi who
grew up in the worst project in Los Angeles and can
talk about the barriers black men must overcome to wear
a white coat. He grew up with an alcoholic mother and a
father in jail. His brother is also in jail and Chris
spent time in foster care and juvenile hall. Chris can
share what it is like to be a black doctor and even how
he ended up treating a grand wizard of the KKK. His
memoir is “Ward of the Court.” Contact him at (251)

15. ==> Eye Doc Helps Women See Intimate Relationships
with 20/20 Clarity

Some women in tempestuous toxic relationships may
continue to believe that if they just treat their
partner better everything will turn out right. Dr.
Dellia Evans knows this wishful thinking intimately,
having been married to someone who abused her
emotionally, psychologically, verbally, financially and
eventually physically, over their 20-year union. Now
happily remarried to a man who treats her with respect,
this eye doctor wants other women to focus on their
relationships so they too can experience healing and a
sense of peace by putting their abusive relationships
behind them. The author of “Heart Vision: How to See
Your Path Forward When You’re in a Dark Place” and the
companion “Heart Vision Journal” will discuss why women
stay in abusive relationships, how to get to the other
side of the fears and anxieties of a destructive
marriage and share a quiz to see if you are in a toxic
relationship. Dr. Dellia Evans is a certified laser
vision correction surgeon and optometrist. Contact her
at (844) 798-9898; visible@drdellia.com

16. ==> Imprisoned CEO’s Surprising Salvation

Before he was incarcerated for nine months in 2011,
Michael Huggins had been running a $2 billion medical
device company. A Wharton School MBA graduate, Huggins
was sentenced to a misdemeanor prison term under a
doctrine that holds executives accountable for
subordinates’ business actions. His life turned upside
down in the highly publicized case, once Huggins was in
jail he sought salvation in a practice he had taught
years before: yoga. On your show, Huggins will detail
his incredible transformative journey from inmate to
yogi, entrepreneur and mindful leader and what other
executives—and indeed anyone—can learn from his
experiences. He’ll discuss the power of choice to not
let where we are define who we are, and prison as a
metaphor for life, where we cope with circumstances
beyond our control. Post prison, Huggins formed the
nonprofit Transformation Yoga Project, which serves
more than 50,000 people impacted by trauma, substance
abuse, and incarceration through trauma-sensitive yoga.
He’s appeared on CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox News and is the
author of “Going Om: A CEO’s Self-Discovery Behind
Bars.” Contact Michael Huggins at (484) 356-4583;

Cancer

When Kipp Harris discusses the myths and truths about

1.==> How Do Americans View Impeachment? Depends Where
You Live

Impeachment hearings will get underway in the coming
weeks in Washington. So what do Americans think? Janna
Fite Herbison says, “Most Americans who aren’t inside
the D.C. beltway or don’t work in New York media are no
longer keeping up with the details of impeachment.
Those who live Oklahoma, Arizona and Alabama are
basically focused now on their 2020 budget, New Year’s
resolutions, and football playoffs. Congressional
hearings from last fall are in their rear view
mirrors.” Herbison, a former television news reporter
and press secretary, says the way Americans view the
impeachment varies greatly based on culture, geography
and/or political leanings. She adds, “To conduct an
impeachment right before the holidays because it was
urgent – then let it acquire dust in Congress for a
month – was not the best strategy for Democrats or
Speaker Pelosi. Especially with the upcoming election.
It sent the wrong signal to everyday Americans: this
isn’t about the Constitution. It’s politics as usual.”

2. ==> Inside New US/China Trade Deal – Phase One

The United States signed a partial trade agreement with
China yesterday but experts say that doesn’t mean
simmering conflicts and uncertainty over trade won’t
drag down the global economy this year. Invite trade
expert Jennifer A. Hillman to discuss what to look for
in ‘phase one’ of the deal including the issues of
technology transfer, financial services and dispute
resolution. She’ll also discuss what we won’t see in
this agreement—any provisions addressing the key
structural problems with China— or addressing the
increasing levels of Communist Party control over the
Chinese economy. Jennifer A. Hillman is a senior fellow
for trade and international political economy at the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), specializing in
U.S. trade policy, the law and politics of the World
Trade Organization (WTO), international organizations,
and Brexit. Contact her at (202) 509-8574;

3. ==> The Problem with the War Powers Resolution

A revised version of a war powers resolution sponsored
by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would require President
Donald Trump to seek congressional authorization for
further military action against Iran has enough votes
to pass the Senate. But International law professor
Francis Boyle says the resolution is riddled with so
many holes that Trump/Pompeo et al. will drive a truck
through them. He says, “Part of the reason we have
these continuous wars is that Congress has failed to
live up to its responsibilities.” Boyle advised Sen.
Patrick Moynihan and Rep. Dan Crane in the first use of
the War Powers Resolution, after Reagan placed Marines
in Lebanon. He added: “Unfortunately, a ‘compromise’
was struck and predictably led to disaster with the
Marine barracks bombing.” Francis Boyle is professor of
international law at the University of Illinois College
of Law. Contact him at fboyle@illinois.edu

mentally disabled Veterans; Becoming one of the first
female game show hosts with Alex Trebek on High
Rollers; Auditioning for the role of Ginger on
Gilligan’s Island. If you need more convincing that

As a young starlet, Ruta made international headlines
when she convinced Khrushchev to release her 90-year-
old grandmother from the Soviet Union. Ruta Lee’s
memoirs, “Consider You’re A$$ Kissed,” will be released
later this year. Contact Harlan Boll at

5.==> Are We Living in ‘The Matrix’?

Invite renowned MIT computer scientist and Silicon
Valley video game designer Rizwan Virk on your show and
listeners will never look at the world the same again!
He’ll explore the idea that our physical reality is
part of an increasingly sophisticated video game-like
simulation and how we may actually be inside a
simulated reality like the Matrix. Virk can discuss
virtual reality and augmented reality and what’s coming
down the pipe, artificial intelligence and the
approaching singularity, and the intersection of
science and spirituality. Rizwan Virk’s latest book,
“The Simulation Hypothesis,” is based on research from
computer science, artificial intelligence, video games,

6. ==> Royal Family Drama, Just like Yours

The world is atwitter over Megxit, the royal ruckus
involving Prince Harry and Meghan. The couple made a
very public announcement, without the queen’s approval,
that they plan to split their time between Britain and
North America and step back from family duties. You
don’t need to be a prince or princess to understand the
situation, according to international communications
expert Leeza Steindorf. She says the couple simply
wants some space for their family. “Whatever their
blood lines are, or are not, whatever their cultural
histories, they are, in the end, simply a man and a
woman committed to their marriage, to championing good
causes and to raising a family in today’s crazy world.”
Having spent most of her life married to a European as
an American overseas, and the better part of two
decades straddling a professional and family life on
both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Steindorf says one
thing is clear. “This is not a conversation about
royalty and loyalty. It is a conversation about making
healthy relationships and families work in the globally
connected world of today.” An international
communications expert specializing in peace education
in schools, Steindorf won national acclaim in Europe
for the CORE Success program that she designed after a
school shooting in Germany. Contact her at (541) 550-

And, by the way, you’ll be training your replacement
before you go. This is currently happening to stellar
employees at AT&T, Disney, Verizon and Toys ‘R’ Us, who
were tossed out of their jobs thanks to a legal
loophole that lets companies import non-U.S. citizens
to do jobs that college-educated Americans have been
trained to do. Think it couldn’t happen to you?
American jobs advocate Hilarie Gamm will explain this
threat to your audience and why everyone from recent
graduates to experienced workers could be victims. A
veteran talk show guest and co-founder of the
nonpartisan American Workers Coalition, Gamm will bust
the myth that there’s a shortage of U.S. STEM workers
and talk about legislation that could close the current
loophole that unfairly benefits some tech companies and
nationalities. Gamm can also be joined by her AWC co-
founders, Marie Larson and Barbara Birch. Hilarie Gamm

1. ==> Trump May Have Started a War He Can’t Win

Americans are worried that recent events may lead to a
US/Iran war. Ivan Eland of the Independent Institute
says, “Historical examples of what a war with Iran
could look like are the massive Hezbollah bombing of
the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983,
and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s overseas terror
campaign against U.S. targets after President Ronald
Reagan picked a fight with him in 1981.” He says,
“Iran, always wily and calculating, will likely get the
best of Trump in an asymmetric war fought on its own
terms. The U.S. military is the best in world history
absolutely and relative to other armed forces of its
age. But its forte is conventional warfare against
great powers. It has proven itself much less effective
in dealing with asymmetric brushfire wars against
weaker adversaries —in places like Vietnam and
Afghanistan and Iraq after the initial more
conventional combat had seemingly ended in victory.”
Eland is director of the Independent Institute’s Center
on Peace & Liberty and the author of several books
including “War and the Rogue Presidency: Restoring the
Republic after Congressional Failure.” Contact him at
(703) 282-3484 (cell); ieland@independent.org

2. ==> Taiwan: China’s Disinformation Campaign
Backfired

This past weekend incumbent Tsai Ing-wen, of the
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), was handily re-
elected to a second term in Taiwan’s presidential
election. Tsai won in a landslide, taking nearly 57
percent of the vote. Joshua Kurlantzick says Tsai’s
decisive victory offers several possible lessons, the
biggest of which comes from how the candidates used
China, and how China’s behavior, including its attempts
to sway the election, may actually have helped Tsai win
re-election. “Taiwan was deluged with disinformation in
the run-up to the presidential election, including a
whole series of fake Facebook posts, sketchy YouTube
videos that spread false information, and many other
dubious tactics,” says Kurlantzick. “Such strategies
seem to have backfired—badly.” Joshua Kurlantzick is
senior fellow for Southeast Asia at the Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR). He is the author, most
recently, of A Great Place to Have a War: America in
Laos and the Birth of a Military CIA. Contact him at
kurlantzick@cfr.org; (202) 285-4339

3. ==> The Super Bowl/Human Trafficking Connection

Sports fans are looking forward to Super Bowl LIV in
Miami next month, but sadly, the mega event will also
likely draw human traffickers into the city. Large
sporting events like the World Cup and the Super Bowl
can lead to increased instances of human trafficking
because of the huge influx of visitors. So, for the 8th
Super Bowl in a row, the ‘It’s a Penalty’ campaign is
rolling into Florida with a highly-visible awareness
campaign to show the public how to identify
exploitation and trafficking AND how to take action and
report these breaches of freedom. Think it doesn’t
happen here? CEO Sarah Carvalho says more than 100,000
children are sold for sex in the U.S. each year, and
most of the victims are US citizens. She’ll discuss
this year’s campaign featuring Aaron Rodgers, Nick
Foles, Ryan Tannehill, Andy Dalton, Charles Harris and
Jerome Baker in a 30-second video that will play
onboard flights headed to Miami and in the terminals of
Miami International Airport. Awareness kits will also
be handed out in Miami hotels, and Uber drivers will
display hangtags in their vehicles with hotline numbers
and other information. Contact Sarah Carvalho at

4.==> Why Female Directors Are MIA at the Oscar’s…
Again

Women may have made huge inroads this year,
particularly in
politics, but just like last year they’ve been left out
of the Best Director category for the 2020 Oscars. Bong
Joon Ho, Sam Mendes, Todd Phillips, Martin Scorsese and
Quentin Tarantino all got nods for their films while
Lulu Wang, Greta Gerwig, Marielle Heller, Lorene
Scafaria and Alma Har’el were all notably left out.
Award-winning female film director and author Kailin
Gow can discuss why there is a lack of female directors
in Hollywood and how their absence shuts out the
perspective of half the population. Founder of the OTT
channel FemaleFlix, showcasing women-interest films,
shows, activities, and news, Gow will discuss why the
number of female directors has been declining for the
past five years, how women and minorities can break
through the glass ceiling, and what it’s like to be
approached by producers with male development teams
when her own books are optioned. Kailin Gow’s 300 plus
books feature strong female characters and have sold
more than 5.5 million copies worldwide. Her movies have
won accolades at film festivals around the world.

5. ==> Bigfoot and Aliens: A Real-Life Adventure Story

When she was 22, Patti Houtz was paid by an archeology
society to be part of an expedition that went in search
of Bigfoot. Also in the group were a National
Geographic photographer; her boyfriend John; and a
fisherman who was the latest person to see Bigfoot in
Big Cypress Swamp in the Everglades. What occurred
during the two days they spent in the swamp was
unforgettable and, in Patti’s opinion, life-changing,
and she is only now willing to share the experience on
your show. She’ll detail what happened and what she
thinks it means, and how her boyfriend ended up being
featured on the front page of The National Enquirer.

6. ==> Drunk Elephants … and Other Fun Facts about
Wine

Did you know that before antibiotics were developed
wine was used for medicinal purposes for thousands of
years? As Jim Laughren, CWE, will explain, wine used to
be the go-to treatment for treating wounds and settling
stomachs. Your audience will gain a new appreciation
for wine as the bubbly Laughren shares his favorite
factoids about wine with them. He’s all about having
fun while making wine more approachable and less
snobby. You’ll learn the vital role wine played in

7. ==> Why ‘Safe’ Everyday Products May Be Making You
Sicker

Marcela Magda Popa, M.D., was forced to take early
retirement from her job as an internal medicine
physician when her autoimmune arthritis symptoms became
too difficult to manage. These symptoms, along with
worsening bouts of migraine headaches and repeated
breast testing abnormalities, led her to suspect and
research the effects of “generally recognized as safe”
products used in foods, cosmetics, cookware, hygiene
products and more. Dr. Popa says these generally
recognized as safe (GRAS) substances are not
necessarily safe, inert, or inactive, and our chronic
but constant exposure, even at low doses, can have an
impact on health. She’ll discuss the side effects of
inert ingredients in medicines and supplements,
substances to avoid if you get migraines or breast
tests reveal abnormalities, whether it’s possible to
live a chemical-free life, and what has helped her most
in the quest for reducing her arthritis symptoms.
Marcela Magda Popa, M.D. is a board certified Internal
Medicine physician who graduated from Carol Davilla
Medical School in Bucharest, Romania, and completed
residency training in the United States. She’s been

8. ==> A Super-Healthy Diet Is Easy; This Is the Time
to Get on Board!

After a holiday season filled with cookies, candy,
butter, and rich sauces, now is the perfect time to
make the commitment to start the year off right by
eating healthy. Physician Dr. Ed Dodge reveals why

to your success in maintaining a healthy eating regime.
He’ll tell your audience which wholesome foods can help
you feel full so you stay on track and share four types

latest book, “Family: A Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in
Africa and the US,” shares his journey from his
childhood in the wilds of Africa, where he enjoyed
exotic fruits and ate antelope and buffalo, to
experiencing culture shock as a teen returning to the
US. After becoming a physician, he returned to Africa
to work, and later to volunteer. As host of Healthy
Living Radio, Dr. Dodge has interviewed groundbreaking
leaders in medicine and he’s been honored by the Johns
Hopkins University Center for a Livable Future. Contact

9. ==> Could Self-Doubt Be the Key to Your Career
Success?

Leaders are expected to be confident, but what can you
do if you’re in a leadership position and you lack
confidence in your abilities? Author and leadership
expert Marc Pitman says that self-doubt may actually
mean you’re on the verge of greatness. Invite him to
reveal the 3 main factors that can bring out the best
leader in you. He can also share how to overcome past
failures to achieve career success. His forthcoming
book, “The Surprising Gift of Doubt,” provides a
framework for leaders to move past feeling like a fraud
and manage teams more effectively. Ask him how to
overcome the feeling you’re “broken,” and why it can be
dangerous to follow every new leadership system or
self-help guru. Contact Marc Pitman at (317) 751-1610

10. ==> Watch Out! Your Employees Are Siphoning Profits

Are your employees trustworthy? Or do they have sticky
fingers? They could be merely pilfering pencils or
other “won’t be missed” office supplies, but even minor
stealing affects profits and ultimately the economy.
So, who will help stop workplace crooks when they
upgrade their crimes to appropriating electronics,
clutching cash (like embezzling nuns who snatched
school funds for Vegas gambling) or cooking books for
personal gain? You, that’s who — by interviewing
profitability master Ruth King, author of “50 Ways
Employees and Vendors Steal from You” and the book
series “The Ugly Truth about Cash.” Ruth will reveal
how managers can corral crooks at the worksite. She’ll

11. ==> Business Insanity: Dismal Success of Corporate
Change

Albert Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity
is doing the same thing over and over again, but
expecting different results.” He might as well have
been talking about the way executives try to shepherd
change within their corporations. Deb Kirby, Ph.D.,
notes that such initiatives have a shocking failure
rate of between 50% and 75% over the past 40 years. She
says, “Forty years is an absurd amount of time to fail
over and over again, particularly when you consider the
money, time and toll such processes take on employees!”
Invite Dr. Kirby, an organizational change coach,
trainer and speaker, on your show to identify four
reasons why organizational change fails and propose a
different way to engage individuals, groups, and the
organizational collective to spark sustainable

14. ==> What Being a Man Means in 2020

In the decade that just ended, once-powerful men such
as Roger Ailes and Harvey Weinstein toppled from their
lofty positions after the toxic way they treated women
became public. And while this may be unsettling for
some men, it is a good thing, notes Destin Gerek, an
internationally recognized expert on masculinity, male
sexuality and male empowerment. “We are living in a
time in which notions of masculinity and femininity and
the roles of men and women are being questioned and
have become more fluid than ever before. … Increasingly
powerful women have necessitated men to rethink their
own role: These radical changes have become
increasingly uncomfortable for us as men,” says Gerek.
“They have forced us to look within, reassess our own
outdated programming, and evolve our understanding of
masculinity and what it means to be a man.” Destin
Gerek is founder and CEO of The Evolved Masculine, a
pioneering coaching and training company for men, and
hosts a podcast by the same name. His new book is “The
Evolved Masculine: Be The Man the World Needs & the One
She Craves.” Contact him at (415) 341-2650;
