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

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

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

    are best suited for specific customization and how
    anyone can add “unique” flair to their ride with stereo
    and video systems, cigar boxes and more. Unique Rides
    airs on the Velocity Channel. Will is also a television
    executive producer and the host of the automotive

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

    He’s the CEO of a billion-dollar company but Kevin
    Guest has always been a musician at heart. Kevin’s
    shared the stage with Eddie Money, Kenny Loggins and
    other rock-n-roll icons and met fascinating people from
    all walks of life, and he believes that each experience
    — in music and business — has built upon another to
    contribute to his living a life in harmony. Invite him
    on your show to share entertaining anecdotes and
    inspiring stories that illustrate the 12 foundational
    principles by which he lives and that he believes will
    lead others on their own path to success and happiness.
    Hear how he scored an interview with Gene Simmons of
    KISS and then spent the night before learning how to
    use the $80-thousand-dollar camera, how he had a panic
    attack in front of Keith Urban and Brooks & Dunn at
    Grand Ole Opry, and what he’s learned through his
    experiences. Kevin Guest is CEO of USANA, a health and
    nutritional supplement company. He still performs

    Brown at (801) 557-1466; tim@candidcom.com?

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

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

    5. ==> Why People Tune You Out (and What to Do About
    It)

    When you talk, do others really pay attention?
    Probably not, warns communication expert Paul Hellman.
    Whether you’re presenting to a large audience, meeting
    one-on-one, talking on the phone, or even sending an
    email, people’s attention spans have almost vanished.
    So you’ve got to engage others fast, before they tune
    you out … maybe forever. Hellman will reveal specific
    tactics to get heard in a noisy world, with deft
    examples from the news and from clients he has worked
    with. Hellman’s columns and advice have appeared in the
    New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and on
    public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual.
    He is the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds:
    Communication Secrets for a Distracted World” (AMACOM).

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

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

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

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

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

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

    9. ==> How to Become an Activist

    Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the Don Quixote of
    health care reform and at 85, he’s probably one of the
    oldest activists around! He’s been hounding Federal
    agencies to solve the health care crisis in this
    country for decades, and still the system is a mess AND
    fatal medical errors in hospitals continues to rise.
    Dr. Williams has now developed a system to empower
    local grassroots activists in each state to work to
    radically change our health care delivery system. He
    says each state is responsible for our nation’s
    healthcare delivery system and will explain how to
    organize grassroots activists to challenge the current
    system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an experienced
    surgeon and medical malpractice expert witness. His
    latest book is “Healthcare Warriors, Why and How to
    Become One.” Contact Dr. Ira Williams at (864)

    10. ==> Would You Survive an Active Shooter Attack?

    We read about it happening everywhere! How would you
    react if caught in a public place where streams of
    bullets put you in mortal danger? Would you know how to
    escape an active shooter’s attack? Should you fight

    car? Shield others? Use special tactics to protect
    yourself? And what should your kids know? Explore the
    vital answers with personal protection specialist Allen
    Banks, CEO of Proactive Protection Agency. He has
    developed Active Shooter Prevention and Workplace

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

    Get ready for a controversial and eye-opening show as
    David Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s
    Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” blows the lid off
    traditional medical solutions for chronic pain. As the
    expert that the medical and pharmaceutical professions
    fear, he’ll present research-based evidence and
    information about the direct connection between stress,
    anxiety and physical pain, and validate alternative
    stress-relieving health and wellness initiatives.
    Hanscom, who gave up his surgical career while at his
    peak, will reveal why traditional medicine and drugs
    add to pain and don’t work in 90% of the cases. He’ll
    help your listeners take charge of and eliminate their
    own pain, by embracing age-old wellness strategies that
    rewire the brain’s reaction to anxiety before pain can
    take hold. A speaker and talk-show guest, including The
    Dr. Oz Show, Hanscom will also explore how gratuitous
    surgeries and just plain bad-doctoring are everywhere
    and reveal who’s really benefiting from these
    procedures and how doctors are feeding the epidemic of
    narcotic addition in the U.S. Contact him
    dhanscom@rtirguests.com; (206) 890-1892 (WA)

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

    The Catholic church child sex abuse scandal has
    dominated the news in recent times, with thousands of
    victims from around the world coming forward.
    Shockingly, many clergy members have received mere
    slaps on the wrist. According to Raleigh Sadler, a
    Christian reverend and founder of the human trafficking
    awareness group Let My People Go, it’s a matter of too
    much power. “These institutions are very powerful,
    which is why abusers often aren’t prosecuted to the
    fullest extent of the law,” he says. That’s why Raleigh
    and his group are working toward ensuring that churches
    are sanctuaries where the most vulnerable among us can
    feel safe, and he can share what society as a whole can
    do to end the horror. He is the author of “Vulnerable:
    Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact Raleigh at
    RSadler@rtirguests.com; (917) 341-6758

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

    Even though she’s a chaplain serving the emotional and
    spiritual needs of people going through traumatic
    events, and she’d been caring for him during a long
    illness, Diann Pass was rattled after losing her
    husband of nearly 30 years. When he died, he took with
    him the future life they’d planned and she quickly
    discovered the lack of practical information out there
    to help widows and widowers pick up the pieces of their
    lives. Invite her on your show and hear how to resume a
    hopeful yet different life after the death of a spouse,
    including many things you can do to emerge from the fog
    of grief, which can make even the smallest decisions
    difficult. In addition to being a workplace chaplain,
    Diann Pass runs a widows’ support group. She’s the
    author of “Rediscover Your Life After Loss” and
    “Lessons in Living and Dying.” Contact her at (432)

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

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

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

    Well, it’s just another rainy Monday. You woke up late,
    traffic is at a standstill and you hate your job.
    Whoopee!!! Can you really turn it all around by
    shifting your thoughts? Annie Evans says you can AND
    overcome even more serious tragedies. Evans personally

    iceberg. Evans will share her startling story, and help
    listeners learn real strategies to change their
    mindsets. They’ll learn ways to make a major shift back
    to the land of happy living. Contact her at

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

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

    17. ==> Your Dog Is Even Smarter than You Think!

    We are only scratching the surface of just how amazing
    man’s best friend is. Learn more about ‘dog
    intelligence’ when you interview dog whisperer Sharon
    Quinn. Quinn says she developed the ability to
    communicate intuitively with dogs after she underwent a
    near-death experience. Now she helps dog owners figure
    out what their pets are thinking by tapping into their
    energy field and she has marvelous stories to share.
    Sharon, who says no animal is stupid, can talk about
    the emotional lives of dogs—including the shame they
    might experience by not scaring away an intruder and
    why, under some circumstances, dogs may be OK with
    being put down. Sharon is the founder of Window to the
    World, a company devoted to helping people achieve
    educational excellence and optimal spiritual health and
    well-being. She’s a workshop leader, inspirational

    18. ==> How This Man’s Wife Beat Stage Four Cancer

    When Anthony Randle’s wife, Jessica, was diagnosed with
    stage four breast cancer, the prognosis was grim. But
    Anthony refused to give up hope. After conducting
    exhaustive research and devising a simple yet powerful
    treatment plan that often defied the doctors’ beliefs,
    Jessica sailed through chemo and is now cancer free!
    “After every treatment, I wanted her to relax,” Anthony
    says. “But she would have so much energy that we would
    go play tennis. The ball would rush past me!” Anthony
    will reveal how he and his wife made it through this
    traumatic experience healthier and happier than ever.
    He shares his poignant experiences in his book “The

    after 20 years, learns that his estranged birth mother
    is alive and living on the streets of Philadelphia.
    Hear how Marty Vargas did everything in his power to
    find her, rescue her, and love her…. even after she
    spit in his face and refused to leave the streets.
    Marty will share how his love for his birth mom was
    tested time and time again, but eventually prevailed –
    overcoming her rejection and fear. A wonderful human-
    interest story, you’ll also hear about the mother who
    took him in, raised him, hid the truth from him – but
    eventually gave him the information and the courage he
    needed to go on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas,
    MFA, is a media owner, author, and a sought-after
    International speaker. His incredible true story has

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

    1. ==> Violent Tornadoes Target Heartland

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

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

    Tornadoes not only destroy homes, they also batter
    businesses in the region they strike. Donna Childs, a
    former reinsurance executive, can explain what
    businesses now face after the massive storm, where they
    can turn for help, and how business owners, just like
    home owners, should plan for disasters. Donna’s been
    honored by the American Red Cross for her volunteer
    work helping small businesses in the Gulf Coast states
    recover from Hurricanes Katrina, Gustav and Ike. She’s
    dealt with disasters around the world and at Ground
    Zero, where her business and home were based on 9/11.

    Royals

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    11. ==> What the FBI Got Right!

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

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

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

    13. ==> What Makes the ‘Perfect’ School?

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

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

    Our world, according to many experts, is heading
    towards self-destruction. The existence of worldwide
    nuclear weapons, countries run by tribal leaders and
    unstable dictators, and a way of thinking that Einstein
    called “a silent addiction leading to species suicide”
    doesn’t bode well for any of us. Interview Dr. Donald
    Pet, a psychiatrist who believes if we want to get
    serious about creating world peace, women are the
    answer! “Women by nature are nurturers and men by
    nature create war,” says Pet. “Women are natural
    communicators who use negotiating to show strength
    instead of bully tactics!” Pet is the founder of the
    Education Community (EC), a nonprofit organization,
    which offers free college level courses teaching people
    how to develop a “new way of thinking” that promotes
    happiness, love and peace. Contact him at (860)

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

    According to author and scientist David. L. Peters,
    “Abundance is not more money or ‘things.’ Abundance is
    a life of joy and happiness, under all conditions that
    life sends you, the good or the not-so-good.” David has
    spent 80 years living a joyful and abundant life,
    immersed in science and spirituality where he has found
    that one supports the other. “The pathway of the 12
    steps leads to joy and happiness even under devastating
    conditions.” At 84, he has achieved great prominence in
    his career as an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised
    seven great kids and has enjoyed a loving marriage of

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

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

    19. ==> Can You Really Heal Yourself Without Drugs?

    The first thing we typically reach for when we’re ill
    is a drug, but is that really the best choice?
    Certified wellness coach Cam Miller says it’s possible
    to heal the body naturally without medications, so you
    have more energy, look younger, and feel better. Invite
    her to reveal the 3 main contributing factors to good
    health. Her upcoming documentary, The Green Drank Tour,
    follows an overweight woman’s journey across America to
    help overweight residents learn the benefits of a
    plant-based diet. Former First Lady Michelle Obama has
    praised Miller’s “efforts to improve the health of
    Americans.” Ask her: What’s the best way to eliminate

    Did you know it’s possible to reverse every disease?
    That medicines don’t cure diseases – they are simply
    managing the disease at the cost of side effects? That
    not all “good” foods are good for everyone? Reena
    Jadhav knows firsthand how important it is to take
    control of your health and your body. She will share
    the short cuts she learned the hard way, as she fought
    her way back to good health after 28 symptoms of an

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

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

    2. ==> Pulitzer Prize Winner on a 2nd Trump Term

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

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

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

    4. ==> The Amazing Kreskin

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

    5. ==> 3 Ways to Get Heard in the Age of Distraction

    When you talk, do others really pay attention?
    Probably not, warns communication expert Paul Hellman.
    Whether you’re presenting to a large audience, meeting
    one-on-one, talking on the phone, or even sending an
    email, people’s attention spans have almost vanished.
    So you’ve got to engage others fast, before they tune
    you out … maybe forever. Hellman will reveal specific
    tactics to get heard in a noisy world, with deft
    examples from the news and from clients he has worked
    with. Hellman’s columns and advice have appeared in the
    New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and on
    public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual.

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

    When pop artist Prince died from a drug overdose on
    April 21, 2016, his legions of fans were shocked and
    saddened. But they never really learned the truth about
    how his death could have been prevented. Addiction
    specialist Isaac Alexis M.D. can share how Prince,
    Elvis, Michael Jackson and other icons who succumbed to
    drug overdoses could have been saved. “With Prince, his
    death could have been prevented by restricting his
    maximum daily dose,” Dr. Isaac says. “He could have
    used more physical therapy and occupational therapy
    alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to talk out what
    current issues were in his environment that ‘triggered’
    his drug use.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in
    trauma surgery at Cornell University at New York
    Hospital of Queens and spent many years working for the
    criminal justice system. He served as medical director
    at the Department of Justice as well as director of
    infection control and chair of the quality improvement
    medical committee. He is the author of the book “Life
    and Death behind the Brick and Razor-Code Red Diamond”
    and the upcoming “The Seductive Pink Crystal.” Contact
    Isaac at IAlexis@rtirguests.com; 315-935-6348.

    7. ==> Wine vs Beer: He Brings Cross-Drinking Couples
    Together

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

    8. ==> Renowned Spine Surgeon Says Skip Surgery and
    Drugs and Do Yoga & Meditate Instead for Pain

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

    9. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

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

    10. ==> Why You Should Dump Your Negative Friends and
    Family

    We all have them – those friends and relations who do
    nothing but complain about anything and everything.
    Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity
    and kick them to the curb. Annie Evans believes that if
    you don’t, there’s a really good chance you’ll be
    negative too. Evans personally knows how negativity
    breeds negativity. Combined with some serious life
    challenges, she went on her own downward spiral. Being
    raised by a severely mentally-ill mom and losing two
    life partners is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans
    will share her startling story, and help listeners
    learn real strategies to change their mindsets and take
    charge of their attitudes. Contact her at

    Your Big Girl Panties and Deal with Your Life!

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

    Most people don’t like to talk or even think about
    death. But while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
    home where her dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark
    learned a lot about life from dead people. “I can share
    fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
    dead people, and the messages I received from them,”
    she says. “I have a lot to say about death and gifts
    people give when they die.” Margo can reveal her
    journeys to the other side, experiences she had in
    dreams and the important messages she received about
    life from the deceased. She is the author of the
    critically acclaimed book Light in the Mourning:
    Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter. The book has

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

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

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

    Mouth-watering pizza. Rich chocolate. Both top the list
    of foods many people can’t stop eating until they’ve
    consumed the entire pie or box of candy. But live on-
    air, Sora Vernikoff can teach your audience her simple
    Green Technique that will allow them to eat all the
    pizza and chocolate they want and still lose weight.
    Turning conventional wisdom on its ear, she’ll explain

    bad-for-you foods are a myth. Sora, a former elementary
    school teacher who lost 25 pounds and has kept them off
    for decades, has helped hundreds of people discover the
    secret for knowing when to stop eating. She is the
    author of the Amazon bestseller “Eat Want You Want!

    15. ==> Medium and Spiritual Teacher Helps People
    Handle Loss and Grief

    There are many types of loss and millions of people
    worldwide are experiencing grief and life
    interruptions. Maybe they have lost a loved one to
    death, divorce or estrangement. They could be dealing

    heal mental health issues? Might you hurt more because
    of medicines you take? Will helping others lead to your
    healing? Do deceased loved ones send us consoling
    messages? Why does she say “to understand life we must
    understand death?” Contact Beth at (484) 705-2818;

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

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

    spit in his face and refused to leave the streets.
    Marty will share how his love for his birth mom was
    tested time and time again, but eventually prevailed –
    overcoming her rejection and fear. A wonderful human-
    interest story, you’ll also hear about the mother who
    took him in, raised him, hid the truth from him – but
    eventually gave him the information and the courage he
    needed to go on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas,
    MFA, is a media owner, author, and a sought-after
    International speaker. His incredible true story has

    18. ==> Are you a ‘Stress-aholic?’ This M.D. Has the
    Cure

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    2. ==> Inside the National Security Council

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

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

    Game of Thrones has paid special attention to the most
    prominent swords, daggers, and personalized pieces of
    weaponry, and the story of which character has which
    weapon has become something of a subplot in and of
    itself on the show. Domenic Melillo, author of the
    popular “Swords of Valor” book series, has conducted
    extensive research on swords and is a huge Game of
    Thrones fan. Invite him on your show and ask him: How
    important are the swords to the GOT thrones series? How
    accurate do you think Game of Thrones is in simulating
    historical weapons? Are the swords in the series
    connected generation-to-generation in certain families
    or houses? Contact Mark Goldman at
    markgoldman73@gmail.com; call/text (516) 639-0988.

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

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

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

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

    6. ==> Secrets to Successful House Flipping

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    13. ==> What the FBI Got Right!

    John Smith was an ordinary guy who spent 5 years in
    public accounting only to get caught up in the S&L
    crisis during the 1980’s. As far as he was concerned,
    everything at his company was above board – until the
    FBI came knocking! He came to realize the extent of his
    employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
    commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
    to hear his incredible true story of perseverance and
    grit. His warning to your audience is this – If it can

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

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

    15. ==> Suicide Prevention Begins in Preschool

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

    As she entered middle age, Sandra Matheson found
    herself divorced, unable to continue her career as a
    veterinarian due to work-related chemical sensitivities
    and stuck with a money-losing farm, where she got
    beaten up by a cow! But she picked herself up, dusted
    herself off and set out on a successful career as a
    rancher, which became a metaphor for her life. “Getting
    older doesn’t mean we have one foot in the grave,” she

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

    Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the “Prince of New
    York.” Born a Russian Prince in 1890, he married a
    Russian princess, escaped to England from the
    Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
    US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
    princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
    Regis Hotel in Manhattan working for Vincent Astor who
    asked him to help restore the grand hotel. In 1931, at
    the age of 53, Serge joined the Commandos under “Wild
    Bill” Donovan and completed two successful missions
    parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
    Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
    legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis and
    has many amazing true stories to relate, not only about
    his grandfather but also the Astors and American
    aristocratic life at that time. Ivan Obolensky, a true
    Renaissance man in his own right, is the author of “Eye
    of the Moon.” Contact him at (818) 495-8731;

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

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

    20. ==> Your Dog Is Even Smarter than You Think!

    We are only scratching the surface of just how amazing
    man’s best friend is. Learn more about “dog
    intelligence” when you interview dog whisperer Sharon
    Quinn. Quinn says she developed the ability to
    communicate intuitively with dogs after she underwent a

    Sharon, who says no animal is stupid, can talk about

    might experience by not scaring away an intruder and
    why, under some circumstances, dogs may be OK with
    being put down. Sharon is the founder of Window to the
    World, a company devoted to helping people achieve
    educational excellence and optimal spiritual health and

    1. ==> Climate Change and Ecosocialism

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

    2. ==> How to Survive a Mass Shooting

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

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

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

    4. ==> 4 Ways a Mother Matters

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

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

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

    6. ==> How to Survive a Crazy Mom

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

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

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

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

    The Catholic church child sex abuse scandal has
    dominated the news in recent times, with thousands of
    victims from around the world coming forward.
    Shockingly, many clergy members have received mere
    slaps on the wrist. According to Raleigh Sadler, a
    Christian reverend and founder of the human trafficking
    awareness group Let My People Go, it’s a matter of too
    much power. “These institutions are very powerful,
    which is why abusers often aren’t prosecuted to the
    fullest extent of the law,” he says. That’s why Raleigh
    and his group are working toward ensuring that churches
    are sanctuaries where the most vulnerable among us can
    feel safe, and he can share what society as a whole can
    do to end the horror. He is the author of “Vulnerable:
    Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact Raleigh at
    RSadler@rtirguests.com; (917) 341-6758

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

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

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

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

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

    Audiences listen intently when psychotherapist Elke
    Scholz talks about managing and reducing anxiety for
    more fulfilling (and longer!) life. She has deserved
    and happily claims the moniker “Anxiety Warrior” when
    helping people overcome fears, panic, worrisome days
    and sleepless nights. But she does more than recommend
    how to corral anxiety in personal and professional
    life. She tells of her own anxiety battles, and how she
    turned her life around. Invite Elke on-air to explore
    questions like these: Why is workplace anxiety such an
    onslaught? What about anxiety triggered by a traumatic
    event, a lifestyle interruption, a health challenge or
    seemingly nothing identified? What does a life managing
    anxiety feel like? Does therapy ever need to include
    meds? What simple activities encourage confidence and
    calm? Elke Scholz’ top-selling books including “Loving
    Your Life” and “Anxiety Warrior” volumes 1 and 2.

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

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

    13. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

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

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

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

    15. ==> The Real Victims of the College Cheating
    Scandal

    The recent college admissions scandal has focused on
    rich parents who cheated in order to get their kids
    into top universities. Jane Jenkins Herlong claims that
    they didn’t do their kids any favors. “Apparently, the
    new norm is being dishonest in order to help your child
    to succeed,” she says. “Unfortunately, this may lead
    to failure since disappointments teach us skills to
    become successful.” Despite growing up dirt poor on a
    farm in the South, a learning disability and scoring
    low on her SATs, Jane persisted and earned a college
    degree and became a success in life. She is the award-
    winning author of four books including “Rhinestones on
    My Flip-Flops.” In addition, she has recorded music CDs
    and personal growth and comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her
    comedy is featured on Sirius XM 97. Contact Jane at

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

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

    major TV shows. Now it’s your turn to interview her and
    maybe get some free advice about your own pet. For
    instance, Dawn may be able to tell you why your dog is
    feeling anxious, why your pet is sick but the
    prescribed drugs aren’t working or why your pet just
    destroyed your slippers. Contact her at (807) 907-6294;

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

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

    20.==> He Saved His Wife from Stage Four Cancer

    When Anthony Randle’s wife, Jessica, was diagnosed with
    stage four breast cancer, the prognosis was grim. But
    Anthony refused to give up hope. After conducting
    exhaustive research and devising a simple yet powerful
    treatment plan that often defied the doctors’ beliefs,
    Jessica sailed through chemo and is now cancer free!
    “After every treatment, I wanted her to relax,” Anthony
    says. “But she would have so much energy that we would
    go play tennis. The ball would rush past me!” Anthony
    will reveal how he and his wife made it through this
    traumatic experience healthier and happier than ever.
    He shares his poignant experiences in his book “The
    True Story of a Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver:
    The Struggle Within.” Contact Anthony at

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Cards, breakfast in bed, flowers and candy are all very
    nice. But, according to Adita Yrizarry-Lang, what busy
    multitasking women really want for Mother’s Day is time
    for themselves. Pointing out that most women put their
    own needs on the back burner while taking care of
    everyone else’s, Adita will lay out a plan that helps
    women put aside their need for perfection and put their
    own needs first. She’ll encourage women to put a smile
    on their face every day by rediscovering what truly
    makes them happy and building that into their lives
    along with time to meditate, exercise and eat right. A
    busy mother herself, Adita is a 30-year wellness
    educator who has been quoted in Shape and Fitness. She
    is the author of “SuperPowers.” Contact her at (305)
    874-0268; AYrizarry@rtirguests.com

    7. ==> How Mothers Can Save the World

    Our world, according to many experts, is heading
    towards self-destruction. The existence of worldwide
    nuclear weapons, countries run by tribal leaders and
    unstable dictators, and a way of thinking that Einstein
    called “a silent addiction leading to species suicide”
    doesn’t bode well for any of us. Interview Dr. Donald
    Pet, a psychiatrist, who contends that if we want to
    get serious about creating world peace mothers are the
    answer! “Mothers by nature are nurturers… men by nature
    create war,” says Pet. “Mothers are natural
    communicators who use negotiating to show strength
    instead of bully tactics!” Pet is the founder of the
    Education Community (EC), a nonprofit organization,
    which offers free college level courses teaching people
    how to develop a “new way of thinking” that promotes
    happiness, love and peace. His EC initiative has been
    endorsed by Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy and many others.

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

    Moms do everything for everyone… except themselves.
    Joffre McClung says this Mother’s Day, if you really
    want to get Mom something she needs, encourage her to
    practice self-love. She says, “Self-love is anything
    but selfish, and moms need it more than anyone else.
    And not just on Mother’s Day, but throughout the year!”
    Invite this exuberant self-love expert on your show and
    learn five things Mom can add to her daily life to
    practice more self-love and mirror self-love for her
    kids and partner. Joffre believes showing kids how to
    be self-loving is one of the best gifts a mother can
    give a child. Joffre McClung has appeared on numerous
    radio and TV programs including CBS TV-Austin TX, Hay
    House Radio and The Joe Franklin Show. A former media
    producer, independent filmmaker, and author, Joffre is
    the author of “The Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at
    (917) 994-0225 (TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com

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

    Mother’s Day is the day we honor the women who brought
    us into the world and raised us. But it can also be a
    painful reminder for those unable to conceive or who
    have lost babies to miscarriage. Veronica Anusionwu
    says it can be especially challenging for church-going
    women who may feel forgotten by God as they sit through
    services in which mothers are praised and honored.
    Through her ministry, Veronica helps women overcome the
    internal blocks and challenges that confront them in
    their struggle to conceive. With the use of healing
    prayers, she’s helped numerous families overcome
    infertility. Invite her on your show and learn how
    women can get pregnant using God’s Word and how to
    catch God’s ear and become fertile even if your case is
    considered medically impossible. Veronica has written
    more than 30 books on fertility, healing, childbirth
    and relationships including her latest, “God Has Not
    Forgotten You: Hope for a Woman Struggling to Conceive”
    which offers several prayers particularly attuned to
    Mother’s Day. Contact: Veronica Anusionwu at
    v@helpforinfertility.com

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

    This Mother’s Day share the incredible, true story of a
    son and his unending love for his mother. Invite Marty
    Vargas on your show and hear about his journey as a
    young man from California wine country searching for
    his estranged mother of 20 years and eventually finding
    her homeless on the streets of Philadelphia, not
    looking for rescue. Marty’s love for his birth mom was
    tested time and time again but eventually prevails,
    overcoming her rejection, spitting in his face, and
    fear. This wonderful human-interest story is also a
    tale of two mothers. His birth mother AND the one who
    took him in and raised him, but hid the truth before
    eventually giving him the information and courage to go
    on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas, MFA, is a
    media owner, author and speaker. His incredible true
    story has been seen multiple times on ABC and NBC
    Philadelphia and Fox News Washington, DC. Contact Marty
    at (631) 246-0790; MVargas@rtirguests.com

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

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

    12. ==> Is Your Smart Home Too Smart?

    Did you know your C-Pap is transmitting your sleep data
    to insurance companies? Did you know the new toilet
    seats coming on the market can take your blood
    pressure? Where does your data go? Who wants this data?
    Join product design expert Lorraine Justice, professor
    at Rochester Institute of Technology, for a discussion
    on the hidden costs of the technology we love and the
    next new products that may be coming into your future.
    Plan now for your future with technology by getting
    current information on new products and services.
    Lorraine is a TED presenter and international keynote
    speaker. She is the author of the new book “The Future
    of Design, Global Product Innovation in a Complex
    World.” Contact her at Lorraine at
    ljustice@rtirguests.com; (585) 206-8823.

    13. ==> Exposing TV News’ Bad Practices

    Before Nita Wiggins began teaching journalism in Paris
    ten years ago, she spent 21 years as a full-time news
    reporter and sportscaster working for ABC, CBS, NBC,
    and Fox network affiliates in such cities as Dallas,
    Seattle, and Memphis. As a woman of color, Wiggins
    found that her dream of covering professional sports
    came with a high price—stress and a raft of
    institutionalized practices she found unacceptable. At
    a time when the industry is under heightened scrutiny,
    invite Wiggins on your show to take the television
    broadcasting industry to task over bias, nepotism,
    suppressing political viewpoints, and more. She’ll
    discuss the changing landscapes of politics, race, and
    women’s employment in the news business and share
    shocking stories about what goes on behind the scenes
    in television newsrooms across the country. Nita
    Wiggins’ controversial new memoir is “Civil Rights
    Baby: My Story of Race, Sports, and Breaking Barriers
    in American Journalism.” Contact her at
    NWiggins@rtirguests.com; (678) 754-8958.

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

    Many health professionals believe today’s obsession
    with cell phones, texting and social media is directly
    responsible for a rise in youth anxiety, suicide and
    kids being medicated. The anxiety created also causes
    kids to feel physical pain. Dr. David Hanscom will
    explain the connection and give parents and caregivers
    a wake-up call while offering real solutions to rid
    kids of stress and anxiety. Hanscom, author of “Back in
    Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will
    take parents and doctors to task presenting research-
    based evidence and information about the direct
    connection between stress, anxiety and physical pain.
    Listeners will learn how technology addiction affects
    the brain with physical complications. He’ll also
    explore how anxiety has led to drug abuse, youth
    suicide, rising healthcare costs, gratuitous surgeries
    and just plain bad-doctoring for kids and adults. Dr.
    Hanscom has appeared on many talk shows including The
    Dr. Oz Show. Contact him at dhanscom@rtirguests.com;
    (206) 890-1892.

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

    When pop artist Prince died from a drug overdose on
    April 21, 2016, his legions of fans were shocked and
    saddened. But they never really learned the truth about
    how his death could have been prevented. Addiction
    specialist Isaac Alexis M.D. can share how Prince,
    Elvis, Michael Jackson and other icons who succumbed to
    drug overdoses could have been saved. “With Prince, his
    death could have been prevented by restricting his
    maximum daily dose,” Dr. Isaac says. “He could have
    used more physical therapy and occupational therapy
    alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to talk out what
    current issues were in his environment that ‘triggered’
    his drug use.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in
    trauma surgery at Cornell University at New York
    Hospital of Queens and spent many years working for the
    criminal justice system. He also served as medical
    director at the Department of Justice. He is the author
    of the book “Life and Death behind the Brick and Razor-
    Code Red Diamond” and the upcoming “The Seductive Pink
    Crystal.” Contact Isaac at IAlexis@rtirguests.com;
    (315) 935-6348.

    16. ==> Can You Really Heal Yourself Without Drugs?

    The first thing we typically reach for when we’re ill
    is a drug, but is that really the best choice?
    Certified wellness coach Cam Miller says it’s possible
    to heal the body naturally without medications, so you
    have more energy, look younger, and feel better. Invite
    her to reveal the 3 main contributing factors to good
    health. Her upcoming documentary, The Green Drank Tour,
    follows an overweight woman’s journey across America to
    help overweight residents learn the benefits of a
    plant-based diet. Former First Lady Michelle Obama has
    praised Miller’s “efforts to improve the health of
    Americans.” Ask her: What’s the best way to eliminate
    disease? How can a vegan lifestyle improve your health?
    What are the 3 best healing herbs and supplements? How
    can you detox? Contact Cam Miller at (480) 757-2151;
    CMiller@rtirguests.com

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

    We all want to find that special someone to spend the
    rest of our lives with but do you keep ending up in
    failed relationships? Could it actually be your fault?
    Invite Arnoux Goran, author, speaker, and the world’s
    #1 expert in personal transformation, to reveal why you
    might be getting in your own way when it comes to
    finding your soul mate. He can share the three simple
    questions to find what is blocking you from finding
    your true love. Learn where these blocks come from and
    how you can permanently remove them. His successful
    method to reprogram yourself has been studied by the
    University of California, Irvine, and shown dramatic
    results. His forthcoming 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. Contact him at (878) 203-8231;
    AGoran@rtirguests.com

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

    Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the ‘Don Quixote’
    of health care reform and at 85, he is probably one of
    the oldest activists around! And now he is encouraging
    others to take up the mantle by developing a system to
    empower local grassroots activists in each state to
    radically change our health care delivery system. He’ll
    explain why each state is responsible for our nation’s
    healthcare delivery system and how to organize state
    wide grassroots activists that will challenge the
    current system and win!
    Dr. Ira Williams is an experienced surgeon, medical
    malpractice expert witness and an expert in how to
    improve our healthcare delivery system. His latest book
    is “Healthcare Warriors, Why and How to Become One.”

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

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

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

    Most people don’t like to talk or even think about
    death. But while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
    home where her dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark
    learned a lot about life from dead people. “I can share
    fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
    dead people, and the messages I received from them,”
    she says. “I have a lot to say about death and gifts
    people give when they die.” Margo can reveal her
    journeys to the other side, experiences she had in
    dreams and the important messages she received about
    life from the deceased. She is the author of the
    critically acclaimed book “Light in the Mourning:
    Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter.” The book has
    received glowing reviews from a number of prominent
    authors and spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra.

    1. ==> On and in Venezuela

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

    In Venezuela Now:
    Teri Mattson is program manager with the Intrepid News
    Fund and is currently in Venezuela. She says, “The
    people here are amazingly calm and incredibly resilient

    Apollo 11th moon landing, NASA expert and space
    historian Rod Pyle offers an exciting behind-the-scenes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    10. ==> Secrets to Successful House Flipping

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

    11. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

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

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

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

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

    According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
    Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; it
    tears at the very fabric of entire communities.”
    Lindsley will discuss how domestic violence impacts a
    company’s bottom line due to lost productivity, causes
    long-term health problems in victims, spills over to
    schools and workplaces, and involves innumerable police
    man hours and why a multi-pronged approach is needed.
    Curt can share how communities, organizations and
    individuals can come together to curtail this epidemic,
    starting today. Curt is the founder of the nonprofit
    domestic violence awareness group Go Purple USA,

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

    When a celebrity has a wardrobe malfunction it makes
    headlines. When one happens to you it may not make the
    news, but that doesn’t mean it won’t impact your
    career. Bring Wall Street executive, business
    consultant and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    It’s supposed to be a wonderful celebration of love,
    but weddings can also bring out the worst in people,
    including the bride and groom! It’s the countdown to
    wedding season and it seems Bridezillas and Groomzillas
    are everywhere. How does this happen? Invite
    psychologist Dr. John Huber to explain the psychology
    behind Bridezilla behavior and signs that you may have
    succumbed to the condition yourself. He’ll also tell
    listeners how to cope with someone who’s acting like a
    tyrant. “The first thing a person should realize is
    that your spouse, friend, family member who is acting
    like a Bridezilla is not mentally healthy right now.
    Severe stress, anxiety, and peer pressure can all take
    a taxing toll on a person’s mindset.” Dr. Huber says
    some Bridezillas have control issues, some have over-
    sized egos and others have learned to use bad behavior
    to get what they want. The good news is that the
    ‘condition’ is usually temporary. Dr. John Huber is the
    chairman for Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit
    mental health organization. He’s appeared on hundreds
    of radio shows and dozens of national television
    programs. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Mother’s Day is the day we honor the women who brought
    us into the world and raised us. But it can also be a
    painful reminder for those unable to conceive or who
    have lost babies to miscarriage. Veronica Anusionwu
    says it can be especially challenging for church-going
    women who may feel forgotten by God as they sit through
    services in which mothers are praised and honored.
    Through her ministry, Veronica helps women overcome the
    internal blocks and challenges that confront them in
    their struggle to conceive. With the use of healing
    prayers, she’s helped numerous families overcome
    infertility. Invite her on your show and learn how
    women can get pregnant using God’s Word and how to
    catch God’s ear and become fertile even if your case is
    considered medically impossible. Veronica has written
    more than 30 books on fertility, healing, childbirth
    and relationships including her latest, “God Has Not
    Forgotten You: Hope for a Woman Struggling to Conceive”
    which offers several prayers particularly attuned to
    Mother’s Day. Contact: Veronica Anusionwu at

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

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

    10. ==> Why are Women Required to Save Our World?

    Our world, according to many experts, is heading
    towards self-destruction. The existence of worldwide
    nuclear weapons, countries run by tribal leaders and
    unstable dictators, and a way of thinking that Einstein
    called “a silent addiction leading to species suicide”
    doesn’t bode well for any of us. Interview Donald Pet,
    M.D., a psychiatrist who believes if we want to get
    serious about creating world peace women are the
    answer! “Women by nature are nurturers, men by nature
    create war,” says Dr. Pet. “Women are natural
    communicators who use negotiating to show strength
    instead of bully tactics!” Pet is the founder of the
    Education Community (EC), a nonprofit organization that
    offers free college level courses on how to develop a
    “new way of thinking” that promotes happiness, love and
    peace. His EC initiative has been endorsed by Jack
    Canfield, Brian Tracy and many others. Contact Dr.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    He may be dead and gone, kicked to the curb or just out
    the door, but you are finally alone to explore your own
    sexuality and discover who you really are. It’s a
    fabulous exploration! That’s what your audience will
    learn from Katherine Webster, author of “Becoming Madam
    Widow.” Definitely not your typical “Woe is Me Widow,”
    Katherine tackles the real nitty-gritty issues of being
    a female alone at mid-life and does so with frankness
    and humor. Whether listeners are alone by fate or
    choice, they’ll gain a whole new perspective on their
    circumstance. She’ll also give listeners easy ways to
    reinvent themselves, kick-start the second part of life
    and go from being middle-aged miserable to mid-life
    magnificent with or without a man. Webster is a
    spitfire of a guest who wants provocative topics and
    isn’t afraid to show the world that real women are
    feisty and bad-ass. Contact her at
    KWebster@rtirguests.com; (416) 921-2084.

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

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

    18. ==> Meditation for the 21st Century

    Have you joined the millions of wise people from Oprah
    to Howard Stern to many of your own colleagues and
    friends who meditate daily? How will this benefit you
    by reducing stress and avoiding stress-related
    ailments, from headaches to heart problems and from
    arthritis to asthma? How does meditation help in
    successfully treating addictions and anxiety, and even
    preventing/dropping bad habits? Learn more about
    solving our 21st Century lifestyle issues with
    meditation methods that have been around for millennia.

    meditation even helps prison inmates become more
    rehabilitated. John Sambalino’s latest book is “Is God
    in That Bottle Cap? A Search for Truth.” Contact him at

    19. ==> Master the Power of Public Speaking

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

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

    Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the Prince of New
    York. Born a Russian Prince in 1890, he married a
    Russian princess, escaped to England from the
    Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
    US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
    princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
    Regis Hotel in Manhattan working for Vincent Astor who
    asked him to help restore the grand hotel. In 1931, at
    the age of 53, Serge joined the Commandos under “Wild
    Bill” Donovan and completed two successful missions
    parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
    Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
    legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis… and
    has many amazing true stories to relate, not only about
    his grandfather but also the Astors and American
    aristocratic life at that time. Ivan Obolensky is an
    author and a true Renaissance man in his own right. He
    is the author of “Eye of the Moon.” Contact Ivan

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

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

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

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

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

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

    4. ==> Interview Richard Pryor Jr.

    Imagine having Richard Pryor as your dad? Invite
    Richard Pryor Jr. on your show and hear how his self-
    proclaimed “Freakish Life” paralleled his famous
    father’s and namesake in many ways. Raised by his
    mother and grandparents while his dad was on tour,
    Richard Pryor Jr. attended public school in Peoria,
    Illinois and spent summers with his father. That’s when
    Pryor says he developed his own love of performing,
    which he’s been doing in one way or another ever since.
    Ask Prior about his grandmother’s brothel, his own
    battles with alcohol and drug addiction, what his
    father said when he told him he was working as a female
    impersonator, how and why he became a minister, and why
    he was blamed for his father’s death. Richard Pryor
    Jr.’s new book is “In A Pryor Life.” Contact Harlan
    Boll at (626) 296-3757; h.boll@dcpublicity.com

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

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

    6. ==> How to Survive a Crazy Mom

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

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

    This Mother’s Day share the incredible, true story of a
    son and his unending love for his mother. Invite Marty
    Vargas on your show and hear about his journey as a
    young man from California wine country searching for
    his estranged mother of 20 years and eventually finding
    her homeless on the streets of Philadelphia, not
    looking for rescue. Marty’s love for his birth mom was
    tested time and time again but eventually prevails,
    overcoming her rejection, spitting in his face, and
    fear. This wonderful human-interest story is also a
    tale of two mothers. His birth mother AND the one who
    took him in and raised him, and hid the truth before
    eventually giving him the information and courage to go
    on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas, MFA, is a
    media owner, author and speaker. His incredible true
    story has been seen multiple times on ABC and NBC
    Philadelphia and Fox News Washington, DC. Contact Marty
    at (631) 246-0790; MVargas@rtirguests.com

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

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

    9. ==> What the FBI Got Right!

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

    10. ==> 5 Reasons Why the U.S. Peace Plan Will Signal
    End-Times

    The Trump administration is putting the finishing
    touches on its new peace plan for Israel—one that Jared
    Kushner is consulting on. While we wait to see what is
    in the plan, Richard Ruhling, M.D., will deliver five

    11. ==> He Says What Abused Children Cannot

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

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

    fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
    their savings, creating a financial maelstrom that

    your death benefits in CASH? David Kottler, also known
    as the Insurance Doctor ™, explains how selling off

    gift to the non-profit of their choice! How is this
    possible? The little-known secret is that when you
    don’t need your policy any longer you can auction it
    off! Find out how! David Kottler combines his legal and

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

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

    14. ==> This M.D. Has the Cure for Stress!

    Show of hands: How many people wish they had less
    stress? How many wish they weren’t burned out and had
    more time for themselves? Hands down. The truth is we
    all would like to celebrate Stress Awareness Month in
    April—and every month thereafter—by having less stress,
    more joy and more energy for what matters most to us.
    Saundra Dalton-Smith, M.D., says the way to do this is
    to reduce your “work-rest deficit.” Let her explain
    what this means and how to do it by catching up on the
    seven different types of rest you did not even know
    existed. Dr. Saundra has been quoted in such major
    media as Prevention magazine and Woman’s Day. She is
    the author of “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew
    Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.” Contact her at (256)

    15. ==> What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You

    Did you know it’s possible to reverse every disease?
    That medicines don’t cure diseases – they are simply
    managing the disease at the cost of side effects? That
    not all “good” foods are good for everyone? Reena
    Jadhav knows first-hand how important it is to take
    control of your health and your body. She’ll share
    short cuts she learned the hard way, as she fought her
    way back to good health after 28 symptoms of an auto-
    immune illness went misdiagnosed and untreated for
    years. A highly successful tech entrepreneur, educated
    at Wharton and Harvard, Reena has a strong personal
    story of surviving two major illnesses before the age
    of 50. Reena is the author of the HealJournal and

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

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

    17. ==> Got a Big Dilemma? Call the Decision Doctor

    Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
    whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
    what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
    feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
    Novak is an expert at decision-making… or “choice-
    making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
    she does it every day at work for her customers. So,

    scarier treatment option, she decided (after freaking
    out) to apply what she does at work to help her make
    some important decisions. Terrie will share her
    powerful story with your audience and explain how her
    three-step decision making process makes any decision

    18. ==> Can You Really Heal Yourself Without Drugs?

    The first thing we typically reach for when we’re ill
    is a drug, but is that really the best choice?
    Certified wellness coach Cam Miller says it’s possible
    to heal the body naturally without medications, so you
    have more energy, look younger, and feel better. Invite
    her to reveal the 3 main contributing factors to good
    health. Her upcoming documentary, The Green Drank Tour,
    follows an overweight woman’s journey across America to
    help overweight residents learn the benefits of a
    plant-based diet. Former First Lady Michelle Obama has
    praised Miller’s “efforts to improve the health of
    Americans.” Ask Cam: What’s the best way to eliminate
    disease? How can a vegan lifestyle improve your health?
    What are the 3 best healing herbs and supplements? How
    can you detox? Contact Cam Miller at 480-757-2151 (AZ);

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

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

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

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

    1. ==> Supreme Court to Argue Citizenship Question

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

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

    the legacy of his father and grandfather by speaking
    and acting in the environment’s defense. With Earth Day
    approaching, Philippe can discuss the annual EarthEcho
    Water Challenge — which he started to combat the issue

    every year. The water challenge enlists schools,
    businesses and individuals to test water quality and
    share the data to help make their communities healthier
    and more sustainable. Philippe is the founder of the
    environmental organization EarthEcho International and

    4. ==> Can We Stop Climate Change?

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

    5. ==> For Earth Day: Surprising Bathroom Toxins

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

    7. ==> Why Holocaust Remembrance Day Matters Today

    Although the Holocaust happened some 75 years ago,
    religion-based hate crimes and the audacious rise of
    white nationalists continue to roil the U.S. and the
    world, from the Tree of Life massacre of Jews in
    Pittsburgh to the senseless loss of Muslim lives in
    Christchurch, New Zealand. As Israel and the world
    prepare to celebrate Yom HaShoah or Holocaust
    Remembrance Day marked by the period from April 28
    through May 2, and the number of living Holocaust
    survivors continues to fall, second-generation
    Holocaust survivor Ellen Korman Mains maintains that
    this topic could not be more current. Mains says, “It’s
    important to commemorate these events, not only to
    remember the dead and overcome ignorance of the past,
    but to take stock of our personal and societal patterns
    in the present and how we can shift these so that
    genocides and mass violence don’t continue into the
    future.” The daughter of Polish-born Jews who survived
    the Holocaust, Ellen Korman Mains has led meditation
    retreats internationally, and speaks about the cross-
    section of spirituality and social change. Her book,
    “Buried Rivers: A Spiritual Journey into the
    Holocaust,” won a 2018 Nautilus Silver Book Award and a
    2019 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Bronze Medal. Contact

    8. ==> 5G Network Health Hazards

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

    9. ==> Why Unrestrained Foreign Aid Is Hurting Africa

    America sends millions in taxpayer dollars around the
    world to help those in need, but does the money really
    end up helping the intended recipients? Author,
    speaker, and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni is
    president of Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch, Inc.
    and says that extreme corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
    means that too many US taxpayer dollars end up lining
    the pockets of corrupt officials instead of helping
    poor families. His new book, “Rescue Thyself: Change in
    Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within,” reveals what
    many in the West don’t understand about the root causes
    of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps
    to improve the situation. Ask him: What do you consider
    the negative unintended consequences of foreign aid?
    Can America do anything to ensure the sustainability of
    projects undertaken with foreign aid funds? Contact
    Sylvanus Ayeni at (301) 812-4579 (MD);

    11. ==> Spine Surgeon Reveals… Why Doctors Are Pushing
    Back Surgery and Narcotics That Don’t Work

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

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

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

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

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

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

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