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

    The current occupant of the White House is certainly
    not the first to have a close relationship with the
    media, but Nicole Hemmer says the relationship between
    Donald Trump and Fox News is distinctly different,
    bringing the channel closer to state television than
    anything the United States has ever known. She says,
    “Despite all the ways journalists and presidents have
    coordinated in the past, none comes even close to the
    symbiosis between Fox News and Donald Trump. Not even
    Fox News has been so in bed with a White House before.”
    She adds, “While the channel has always been firmly
    Republican — Roger Ailes was an adviser to Republican
    presidents from Richard Nixon to George H.W. Bush
    before launching Fox News — it did not have the
    wholesale influence over George W. Bush that it has
    over Trump—and vice versa.” Hemmer believes the
    relationship is blurring the lines between news and
    propaganda and inflicting harm on democratic norms.
    Nicole Hemmer is an expert on the history of American
    politics and media. She is an assistant professor in
    presidential studies at the Miller Center at the
    University of Virginia and the author of “Messengers of
    the Right: Conservative Media and the Transformation of
    American Politics.” She hosts the history podcast “Past
    Present”. Contact her at (434) 924-6056;

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

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

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

    For a fascinating show that touches on women’s history
    and our current polarized society, invite Debra
    Gwartney to share the story of Narcissa Prentiss
    Whitman, the first European-American missionary to
    cross the Rocky Mountains and arrive at Fort Walla
    Walla, Washington in 1836. Gwartney will discuss the
    similarities between the pioneer women of the 1840s and
    her own situation growing up in the 1950s, and the
    unprecedented polarization – present then and now –
    that has become part of our communities. She’ll
    explore issues facing many Americans today, including:
    If you question the political beliefs you were raised
    with, are you still welcome at home? Where do you
    belong? How can Americans be true to their beliefs –
    Conservative or Progressive — and still feel they
    belong in the communities they love? A professor at
    Pacific University, Debra Gwartney is the author of “I
    am a Stranger Here Myself”. She grew up in Salmon,
    Idaho and now lives on the upper McKenzie River on the
    west slope of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon just
    outside Eugene. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703)
    646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell); johanna@jrbcomm.com or
    Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

    4. ==> It’s Sleep Awareness Week! Test Your Listeners’
    Sleep IQ

    Will your listeners know what a messy bedroom has to do
    with poor sleep? If watching an action-adventure pic
    before bed is a good idea? Can they name the best thing
    to keep by their bed in case they wake up in the middle
    of the night? They will learn all that when you
    interview career wellness educator Adita Yrizarry-Lang
    for National Sleep Awareness Week which began March
    10th. One-third of all Americans desperately need this
    information because they are not getting enough
    shuteye. 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

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

    Beach Boys fans have long known of brilliant yet
    troubled Brian Wilson’s slide into the abyss of drugs
    and mental illness. But what a lot of them don’t know
    is how former NFL player “Rocky” Pamplin helped to save
    him from himself. Rocky was college roommates with Stan
    Love, brother of Beach Boys’ lead singer Mike Love. In
    the mid-1970s, Stan and Rocky were hired to be full-
    time bodyguards for Brian Wilson. “Brian was a 315-
    pound recluse who was a paranoid schizophrenic,” Rocky
    says. “Stan said, ‘Don’t think you are going to meet a
    clean cut Beach Boy.’ He was scary.” While much has
    been written about Rocky, Stan and their tumultuous
    two-and-a-half years with Brian, this is the first time
    that Rocky has come forward to reveal the behind-the-
    scene details of his relationship with the Beach Boys.
    He is the co-author of the book “The Beach Boys Endless
    Wave: Inside America’s Band”, along with film producer,
    writer and director Ron Hamady. Contact Mike Vezo at
    mvezo@mac.com; (310) 406-8300.

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

    When you talk, do others really pay attention?
    Probably not, warns communication expert Paul Hellman.
    Whether you’re presenting to a large audience, meeting
    one-on-one, talking on the phone, or even sending an
    email, people’s attention spans have almost vanished.
    So you’ve got to engage others fast, before they tune
    you out … maybe forever. Hellman will reveal specific
    tactics to get heard in a noisy world, with deft
    examples from the news and from clients he has worked
    with. Hellman’s columns and advice have appeared in the
    New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and on
    public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual.
    He is the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds:
    Communication Secrets for a Distracted World”. Contact
    him at (508) 879-0934; paul@expresspotential.com

    7. ==> How to Choose, Carry and Shoot a Gun in Self-
    Defense

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

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

    “Yes!” says Dr. Paul Wand. “And with spring sports
    around the corner many parents are wondering how to
    keep their kids safe from sports injuries – mostly
    concussion-related.” Many parents don’t realize that
    even some non-contact sports can cause concussions in
    kids like swimming, basketball, volleyball, wrestling,
    soccer, baseball, mixed martial arts and even
    cheerleading! Interview Dr. Wand, a neurologist who
    specializes in concussions and how to diagnose and
    treat them more quickly and more easily. He’ll explain
    to your listeners how your child, or you for that
    matter, could have a concussion and have no idea. How
    is this possible? Dr. Wand says 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’re told
    they are perfectly fine when in reality, they aren’t.
    Paul Wand, MD, PA has been a medical doctor for 35
    years specializing in the field of Neurology. Contact
    him at (954) 743-5380; PWand@rtirguests.com

    9. ==> Cutting-Edge Cancer-Fighting – Body & Mind

    Cancer is an all-encompassing disease but it’s also a
    journey that can be difficult to navigate. Invite Dr.
    Jim Roach to demystify cancer and share an enlightened
    understanding of the disease and an all-embracing,
    empowering, spiritual pathway to healing. Listeners
    will learn how to put together their own best treatment
    plan using a wide variety of therapies (both
    conventional and holistic), tools and resources, and
    hear practical, sensible advice from one of the world’s
    leading integrative medicine experts. Dr. Roach can
    discuss the many aspects of cancer growth and
    progression, the significant connection between stress
    and cancer, and how to thrive while fighting the
    disease. Dr. Roach is “double-boarded” in integrative
    medicine – ABOIM, ABIHM. An experienced media guest, he
    is a published researcher, national speaker, and a
    practitioner with a national clientele. His new book is
    “Vital Strategies in Cancer.” Contact him at
    jproach@aol.com; (859) 846-4445.

    10. ==> Is Your ‘Senior Moment’ the First Sign of
    Alzheimer’s?

    We all experience forgetfulness, whether we’re hunting
    keys or spacing-out on names, trivia and historical
    facts. Can you always claim “temporary senior moment”
    or being distracted? Or should you be concerned about
    Alzheimer’s? Learn from sought-after interview guest
    Carlen Maddux who has practical advice for navigating
    the crisis of Alzheimer’s. His wife Martha was
    diagnosed at only age 50, living 17 years more. Carlen
    can discuss initial signs that alerted his family,
    changes for improving quality of life/caregiving, and
    whether movies like “Still Alice” get it right. Carlen
    is the author of “A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and
    Joy Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer’s”. His
    info has helped countless audiences cope, find help and

    Alzheimer’s care differ? Contact him at (727) 351-8321;

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

    An 18-year-old dies of fatty liver disease while a 55-
    year-old woman’s stage 4 cancer disappears. How are
    both possible? Health is the most confusing and
    controversial topic today with crazy diets from vegan
    to keto and everything in between. Over 100 million
    Americans are very sick – and Reena Jadhav used to be
    one of them! Reena refused to accept that her 28
    symptoms could only be managed, and not cured, so she
    applied insights from her successful tech startup
    experience, her Harvard MBA and leading integrative
    M.D.s and reversed every symptom in 18 months! Reena is
    now on a mission to share how she healed and reveal the
    shocking truths she learned interviewing some of
    America’s top MDs on her podcast HealthierPodcast.com.
    Reena Jadhav is the author of the HealJournal and
    creator of the New Health Pyramid. Her latest book,

    their own health using science. Contact her at (650)
    309-1005; RJadhav@rtirguests.com

    12. ==> Interview the ‘Don Quixote’ of Health Care
    Reform

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

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

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

    14. ==> Do A Show On Loving the Unlovable

    Your listeners will be spellbound with this incredible
    true story of Marty Vargas, who, after 20 years, learns
    that his estranged birth mother is alive and living on
    the streets of Philadelphia. He does everything in his
    power to find her, rescue her, and love her…. even
    after she spits in his face and refuses to leave the
    streets. He sacrifices everything for love! Marty will
    share how his love for his birth mom was tested time
    and time again, but eventually prevailed – overcoming
    her rejection and fear. This wonderful human-interest
    story is really a tale of two mothers… the one who took
    him in, raised him, hid the truth from him – but
    eventually gave him the information and the courage he
    needed to go on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas,
    MFA, is a media owner, author, and a sought-after
    International speaker. His incredible true story has
    been seen multiple times on ABC and NBC Philadelphia
    and Fox News Washington, DC. Contact Marty at (631)
    246-0790; MVargas@rtirguests.com

    15. ==> From Hippies to #MeToo — What You Never Knew

    People everywhere experience times of personal
    challenge, relationship issues with loved ones, and
    powerful social change. And they could all use advice
    and been-there insights from someone who understands.
    Audiences will therefore thank you for interviewing
    psychologist Pratibha Eastwood, whose real-life journey
    both personal and professional includes decades of
    cultural upheaval and several wars. Learn from Pratibha
    what it was like to be a fearful child sent to boarding
    schools at a very young age — during some of the worst
    of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. What do few
    Americans know about such Middle Eastern crises? Ask
    Pratibha (and invite callers) to explore: what led her
    to experiment with drugs, live in a commune, and become
    a real “hippie?” How could she finally forgive her
    neglectful parents? What are her opinions about the
    #MeToo Movement? And how did Pratibha’s adventurous
    side help her spiritual journey of turning lemon into
    lemonade? How did she experiment with love as a
    successful survival technique, while traveling to
    unknown far-away places? Contact Pratibha at (808)
    398-3318 (HI); epratibha@yahoo.com

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

    When we want to get into top physical shape, we adjust
    our diets and lifestyles and hit the gym. Pastor Eric
    Hawthorne says that the same principles can be applied
    to preparing for marriage, and can share his tips for
    “marriage fitness” that can help newly and long-married
    couples to keep their bonds strong, and enable their
    unions to last. “I had a series at my church that
    taught people how to get ready for marriage,” he says.
    “People rarely take the time to determine their role in
    a marriage. This is why there are so many divorces.”
    Eric should know. He is a divorced single dad to two
    young boys who has learned from his mistakes, and he
    can share how to navigate the pitfalls he and his ex-
    wife had to overcome. Eric is the second-generation
    pastor of Daystar Deliverance Ministries in Richardson,
    Texas, and the author of the upcoming book “Are You
    Ready for Marriage?” Contact him at
    EHawthorne@rtirguests.com; (214) 225-0769.

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

    When the Gillette Razor ad that invokes the #MeToo
    movement first aired, its focus on bullying and toxic
    masculinity created a huge controversy and angered a
    lot of men, particularly older ones. “Society has
    changed a lot in the last few decades,” says Curt
    Lindsley, founder of the nonprofit domestic violence
    awareness organization Go Purple USA. “A lot of baby
    boomers grew up in a sexist culture. Women are taking
    over jobs traditionally held by males. Some no doubt
    were up in arms about the ad because the macho,
    insensitive guy stereotyped may have hit a little too
    close to home.” This is just one of the many factors
    that contributes to domestic violence. Curt can share
    how community groups, nonprofits and society overall
    can get involved to stop this epidemic. In addition to
    his work with Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go Purple
    Awareness Day (Oct. 1), he is also the co-founder of
    the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force. Contact
    Curt at (256) 213-1092; clindsley@rtirguests.com

    18. ==> Dr. Love – 25 Ways to Develop a Loving Attitude

    Who doesn’t want to be more loving, more centered and
    spiritually awake? But how do you do that? You need to
    create a love action plan! Michael McGee, M.D., will
    share with your audience his 25 ‘love practices’. “Love
    is one of the most confused and misused words in the
    English language. Love is not a feeling. Love is an
    attitude that inspires to action to enhance life!” Dr.
    Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical
    Schools. He is the creator of the unique 12 Step
    Touchstone Approach to Recovery and author of “The Joy
    of Recovery: The New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from
    Addiction”, an approach that works better than AA for
    many people. Contact Dr. McGee at (978) 971-9703;
    MMcGee@rtirguests.com

    19. ==> Why Parents Should Treat Kids like Employees

    Are you tired of your kids not listening to you? Do you
    wish your kids would do more around the house? Are you
    sick of the arguing, whining and begging? Do you just
    want to like your kids more? “Yes, it’s possible!” says
    Sara Sherman, long-time single mom and parenting
    expert. “Guess what? At home you’re the boss!” In a
    world where many are saying “Leave work at the office!”
    Sara says it’s okay to bring some of it home –
    especially in the area of discipline. Invite her on
    your show and hear how she developed the ‘7 P’s of
    Positive Parenting’ by taking cues from the way a good
    boss trains and supports an employee. Sara Sherman, BA,
    MS, is a speaker, author, blogger, coach and creator of
    the Create Cooperative Kids program. As a single parent
    for most of her adult life, Sara successfully raised
    her children and earned two degrees all while working
    full-time. Contact her at (614) 756-0571;

    20. ==> Fulfill Your Dreams Regardless of Your Career
    Disappointments

    Sadly, millions of people hate their jobs and dread
    going to work every day. That contributes to work-
    related disappointments and strains relationships,
    finances, parenting and health. Yet studies show that
    following your dreams — including entrepreneurial
    goals — can mean happier, more abundant and purposeful
    living. Explore this on-air with Dr. Dragos Bratasanu,
    author of “The Pursuit of Dreams”. He’ll give listeners
    advice on how to fulfill dreams regardless of
    circumstances. This expert will answer questions like:
    What qualities help you be your own boss? How can you
    select a business venture, and what are the initial
    steps to take? Can you succeed without pricey
    investments or family upheaval? What can Americans
    learn from other nations/cultures? Contact Dr. Dragos

    150,000 Americans died due to alcohol, drugs and
    suicide in 2017. The figure, 151,845, is more than
    twice as many as in 1999, according to the Trust for
    America’s Health and Well Being Trust, which used data
    from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
    The analysis found that synthetic opioid deaths
    skyrocketed 45 percent between 2016 and 2017 and
    increased ten-fold in the last five years, and the
    highest rate of suicide continues to occur among
    whites, males and people living in rural areas. Invite
    clinical forensic psychologist Dr. John Huber to
    discuss why that is, signs that someone may be
    suicidal, and the role drugs and alcohol play in the
    rising death rate. 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

    2. ==> Investigation Discovery Doc: ‘The Atlanta Child
    Murders’

    In 1979, the city of Atlanta was shaken to its core
    when 29 African-American children were kidnapped and
    murdered. No one was ever tried for the murders and
    decades later the case remains unsolved. Investigation
    Discovery’s new documentary, ‘The Atlanta Child
    Murders’, revisits this emotional, but largely
    forgotten, chapter in our nation’s history. Atlanta
    radio personality Frank Ski is featured in the film. He
    interviewed the only suspect in the case, Wayne
    Williams, which sparked controversy among both those
    who thought he was guilty and others who felt he may be
    innocent. Invite Frank to talk about the movie, what it
    was like for the African-American community in Atlanta
    during this time, his experience interviewing Wayne
    Williams and his thoughts on what really happened.

    3. ==> It’s National Procrastination Week – Make it an
    Asset

    This week is officially National Procrastination Week,
    though, not surprisingly, it’s sometimes held next
    week, or even the week after! Regardless, you shouldn’t
    put off booking Mariann Adams. She’ll tell listeners
    why even though procrastination feels like a character
    flaw, it’s actually an asset! “Procrastination isn’t a
    defect; it means the brain and body are working right,”
    says Adams. “Procrastination is a form of anxiety that
    shuts down the brain as a protection. So
    procrastination isn’t overcome by willpower, but by
    understanding how the brain and body work!” Adams says
    everyone is affected by daily anxiety that drives their
    behavior. She’ll explain how to read the ‘road signs’,
    and share quick ways to navigate past anxiety. Mariann
    Adams, MS, NCTM, is an experienced media guest,
    corporate consultant, and the author of “Boost Core
    Power and Bust Anxiety”. She is an expert on presenting
    the psychological, physiological, neurological, and
    interpersonal aspects of anxiety in playful, easy-to-
    understand way–for instant, increased brain power!

    4. ==> Sunday Is Daylight Savings Time: Is It Bad for
    Your Health?

    When we “spring forward” this weekend, many will
    complain about losing just one hour of sleep. Is one
    hour of sleep a big deal? Studies show an increase in
    heart attacks on the Monday following the time shift,
    and within the first 48 hours after the time change, a
    spike in automobile fatalities. Is this a coincidence?
    Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith will talk about the pros and
    cons of losing sleep in the morning for an extra hour
    of sunlight in the evening. She’ll discuss how to get a
    quality night’s sleep, and advise parents on how to
    help their children acclimate to time changes – as well
    as the physical changes that occur in everyone’s bodies
    when seasons and schedules change. Dr. Saundra will
    reveal strategies for feeling rested and refreshed
    despite the time change, how to feel better with less
    hours of sleep, and how to adjust your attitude so
    you’ll be able to sleep better at night. Sleep hygiene
    is a very hot topic! Dr. Saundra’s advice and expertise

    Will your listeners know what a messy bedroom has to do

    to keep by their bed in case they wake up in the middle
    of the night? They will learn all that when you
    interview career wellness educator Adita Yrizarry-Lang

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

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

    8. ==> The Robots Are Coming! And They Want Your Job!

    In the near future, robots will be able to perform jobs
    ranging from bartending to retail sales and even major
    surgery! In fact, China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency
    has launched an artificial intelligence TV news anchor,
    a world first. “I know a lot of people that make
    robots,” says design expert Lorraine Justice. “They’re
    so realistic they’re creepy. There’s a lot of fear of
    technology and robots.” While robots and other forms of
    artificial intelligence will take over many future
    jobs, Lorraine will discuss how to prepare for this,
    and how to develop skills that will continue to be
    relevant in the ever-changing job market. A long-time
    educator, Lorraine is dean emeritus of the College of
    Imaging Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of
    Technology, former director of the School of Design at

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

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

    11. ==> 3 Steps to Making a Great Decision

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

    12. ==> Does Marriage Success Depend on Sex?

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

    13. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make

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

    14. ==> March 18 is Forgive Mom & Dad Day

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

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

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

    Moon”. Contact Ivan Obolensky at (818) 495-8731;

    16. ==> Foods that Feed Cancer

    When Anthony Randle’s wife, Jessica, was diagnosed with
    stage four breast cancer, her doctors told her she
    could eat whatever she wanted while undergoing
    aggressive treatments. But after conducting exhaustive
    research, he discovered that certain foods actually
    feed cancer. “Doctors will tell patients not to smoke
    or drink, but nothing about sugar,” he says. “I learned
    that sugar actually feeds cancer. I also saw chemo
    patients eating fast food and popsicles. I thought,
    ‘Wow, this is so wrong!’” After eliminating sugar and
    other unhealthy foods from her diet, Jessica sailed
    through chemo with virtually no side effects. He shares
    his poignant experiences in his acclaimed book “The
    True Story of a Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver:
    The Struggle Within”, and can reveal how he and his

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

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

    1. ==> What’s Happening in Syria? What’s Next?

    Invite former Mideast correspondent for ABC News
    Charles Glass to discuss the situation in Syria and
    what will happen next. Glass will explain Bashar
    Assad’s rise to power and why he believes that now, as
    Assad secures his hold, he will quickly and violently
    put down any rebellion. Glass predicts increased
    rivalry between Iran and Russia for influence and
    profit in Syria, though opportunities in Syria will be
    limited as the U.S. government seeks to keep Syria
    outside the world economy, which may lead to an
    expanding black market there. Currently based in
    London, Charles Glass is the author of “Syria Burning”
    and recently wrote the piece “Tell Me How This Ends”
    for Harper’s about the Obama administration’s policy on
    Syria. His latest book, “They Fought Alone: The True
    Story of the Starr Brothers, British Secret Agents in
    Nazi-Occupied France”, tells the story of the Special
    Operations Executive, set up by Churchill in 1940 to
    ‘set Europe ablaze.’ The SOE would train the U.S.
    Office of Strategic Services, which became the CIA.

    2. ==> Polarized Americans Need Party Reform

    Jay Cost, like many political observers, is concerned
    about the current wave of tribalism in America, but
    he’s less interested in the cause than in why it’s
    allowed to flourish in our day. “We have allowed the
    angriest, most strident, least compromising forces
    within our society to have the best position to decide
    who wields political power. Sure, swing voters in the
    middle of the country get to choose between the
    Democrat and the Republican, but months, even years,
    before that happens, the eventual nominees have to
    curry favor with the hardcore ideologues.” He says, “We
    have the power to regulate the power the nastiest among
    us have in politics, especially by reforming our
    political parties, which were originally intended to
    function as mediators between the people and their
    government. If we are serious about doing something
    about polarization, I think party reform is where we
    should start.” Jay Cost is a visiting scholar at the
    American Enterprise Institute, a columnist for National
    Review, and a contributing editor to The Weekly
    Standard. He’s the author of “The Price of Greatness:
    James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the Creation of

    Exploration

    What’s the future of space exploration? Invite NASA
    expert and space historian Rod Pyle to share an inside
    look at the next few decades of spaceflight and long-
    term plans for exploration, utilization, and
    settlement. He’ll talk about the privatization of space
    exploration with entrepreneurial start-ups building
    huge rocket boosters, satellites, rocket engines,
    asteroid probes, prospecting craft, and even commercial
    lunar cargo landers to open this new frontier. Pyle’s
    new book, “Space 2.0”, examines the new partnerships
    that are revolutionizing spaceflight and changing the
    way we reach for the stars. Rod Pyle appears on
    national radio and TV and hosts the podcast “Cool Space
    News” on iHeart Radio. He has written more than a dozen
    books and produced numerous documentaries for the

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

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

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

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

    7. ==> Common Sense Cure for the Rise in Rudeness

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

    8. ==> Why Women Are Required to Save the World

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

    9. ==> Would You Risk Your Life to Adopt a Baby?

    Adopting a child can take years under the best
    circumstances. It can also be expensive and an
    emotional roller coaster. But for Cornelia E. Davis,
    M.D., the obstacles were even greater. She risked her
    own life to adopt her daughter in war-torn Ethiopia,
    battling meningitis outbreaks, dodging stray bullets,
    and even braving opposing armies because her urge to be
    a mother was unstoppable. Davis, who goes by the name
    Connie, began her career as one of the first black
    women admitted to the University of California, San
    Francisco School of Medicine. She was sent to Ethiopia
    in 1990 by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help
    prevent and control outbreaks of meningococcal
    meningitis. While working in Addis Ababa, she was
    caught up in the fast-moving civil war and stayed
    behind when U.N. staff members were evacuated. A series
    of events led her to become mother to a three-month-old
    infant found on the steps of St. George’s Cathedral.
    Davis tells the story of what it took to adopt her
    daughter, Romene, in her new memoir “Three Years in
    Ethiopia: How a Civil War and Epidemics Led Me to My
    Daughter”. Contact her at (323) 522-5374;

    10. ==> What Men Wish Women Knew About Them

    According to interpersonal communication expert Diane
    Auten, women have some misguided ideas about men. For
    example, she’ll say that it’s not true that men aren’t
    emotional beings or that just because they aren’t
    looking at you doesn’t mean they are not listening to
    you. In addition, she’ll say that women should learn to
    talk about subjects men find interesting—like sports
    and gaming—because men open up more when discussing
    topics they are interested in. This professor of
    communication will not only bust myths but will also
    offer suggestions on how to get men to open up more and
    how parents can raise their sons to be great
    communicators. The parent of two teenage boys, Diane is
    the author of the very funny book, “The Joys of Raising
    Boys: the Good, the Bad, and the Hilarious.” Contact
    her at (805) 215-1324; DAuten@rtirguests.com

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

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

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

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

    13. ==> Interview the Master of Self-Healing

    Physical and emotional problems are showing up more and
    more in the lives of everyone and we are being flooded
    with advertising that promises help. People are
    frustrated and confused to say the least. Ed Kuiper, an
    author, speaker and teacher, will show your listeners
    how to self-heal themselves naturally… on the air!
    Results will be immediate for most, and give your
    station great visibility as your audience tells
    everyone what happened to them. An officer of two
    major life insurance companies and founder and CEO of
    several national companies, Ed spent over 40 years in
    the business world before becoming a ‘Master of Self-
    Healing.’ Contact him at (207) 248-8795;

    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
    why thinking about food makes you fat—not eating it—and
    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!
    Stop When You Want!: A No-Diet, Weight-Loss Program.”
    This experienced talk show guest spent more than a
    decade teaching her program while working under the
    auspices of a leading New York City endocrinologist.
    She has also taught the program at the Learning Annex
    and lectured at Lennox Hill Hospital. Contact her at

    15. ==> How Shaming Addicts Keeps Them Hooked

    As opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions,
    society stigmatizes addicts. According to Dr. Isaac
    Alexis, this is just making the crisis worse. “It’s not
    just about treating the addict,” he says. “It’s about
    treating their environments and families. We have to
    work with society as a whole to address the issue. We
    don’t shame people who have diabetes or cancer. But
    because of the stigma associated with opioid addition,
    addicts are reluctant to come forward to seek
    treatment. We have to treat the addict as a human
    being.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in trauma
    surgery at Cornell University at New York Hospital of
    Queens. He served as medical director at the Department
    of Justice as well as director of infection control and
    chair of the quality improvement medical committee. He
    is the author of the book “Life and Death behind the
    Brick and Razor-Code Red Diamond” and the upcoming “The

    16. ==> 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 many
    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. Appreciative audiences (teens
    themselves and their mentors/parents/teachers) will
    also hear about must-know lifelong secrets for “people-
    smart” communication, conflict resolution,
    demonstrating kindness, specializing in effective
    responses and much more. Contact Bernabei at (651)

    17. ==> Everything You Were Too Terrified to Ask about
    Ghosts

    Dr. Susan Shumsky is a ghost whisperer who can tell you
    everything you ever wanted to know about ghosts—but
    were too terrified to ask. For example, what really
    happens to souls after death? Is it possible to
    communicate with the dead; how so? Why are some homes,
    cars, offices and other places haunted? What are the 11
    types of people most susceptible to possession? What
    are the 15 reasons why people become ghosts? Dr.
    Shumsky is no fly-by-night author. She has 16 books in
    print and has been published by Simon & Schuster. Open
    your phone lines for listeners with haunted houses, and
    Dr. Shumsky will send the ghosts packing! Contact her
    at (917) 336-7184; SShumsky@rtirguests.com

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

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

    Romance and Success”. Contact B.P. Greycastle at

    19. ==> Life-Saving Mindset Changes

    Societal problems like depression, suicide, domestic
    violence and community unrest are on the rise. If we
    want to prevail we have to change – and the first step
    is developing a mindset that makes it possible. That’s
    the message of Reverend Arthur Mackey, a prolific
    author, focused researcher, respected pastor and
    sought-after media guest. Invite him to discuss
    everything from family and workplace influences to
    health/social services, faith-based resources and
    education programs you’ll want to know. Ask him: Does
    healing depression always require meds? What’s the role
    of prayer in our well-being? Why is it never too late
    to change one’s surroundings, relationships and ideals?
    What first steps should you take? How will life get
    better, personally and professionally? Reverend Arthur
    Mackey is the author of “Overcoming the Spirit of
    Depression.” Contact him at (516) 939-5679;

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

    While science and religion have long been considered
    mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
    the good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved
    great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18
    patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a
    loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just
    become a first-time author of a well-received book that
    reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith
    comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
    physics has proven the existence of a power or force
    beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by
    applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his
    daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they
    never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but
    powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is
    the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness:

    =======================================
    1. ==> Cohen Can’t Be Taken Seriously Because He’s a Joke

    According to Eddie Scarry, there’s no reason why
    Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony should carry
    any weight. “He most recently embarrassed himself in a
    nationally televised interview by insisting over and
    over again that he was ‘taking responsibility’ for his crimes.
    Cohen is ‘taking responsibility’ by going to prison the same way a
    deadbeat drunk is ‘taking responsibility’
    for being unemployed. When you’re fired from your job,
    ‘taking responsibility’ is your only option.” He says,
    “In March of last year, Cohen referred to himself as
    Trump’s “Ray Donovan,” a TV character who made the problems of celebrities go away.
    If that was Cohen’s paid responsibility for Trump as a
    fixer, the president should ask for a full refund.”
    Scarry adds, “No one took
    him seriously before, and they shouldn’t take him
    seriously now.” Eddie Scarry is a commentary writer for
    the Washington Examiner, focusing on politics and
    culture. He is also the author of
    “Fraud and Fiction: The Real Truth Behind Fire and
    Fury.” Contact him at scarrye@gmail.com or @eScarry

    2. ==> GOP Offers Zero in Response to Cohen Allegations

    Paul Waldman says it was clear from the first moments
    of the Michael Cohen hearing that Republicans had a
    strategy: not to contest what Cohen said, but to try
    and discredit Cohen as a person.
    “If Republicans tried to press Cohen on the specifics
    of what he alleges about Trump, they would very quickly
    find themselves in an area where the president is
    acting like a guilty man, as
    are so many others around him.” He adds, “So pay close
    attention to what the president himself and his
    advocates will say about this hearing in the coming
    days. They aren’t going to say much
    about what Cohen actually said or the documents he
    presented. They’ll just say he’s a liar and we should
    all ignore him. That message will be repeated over and
    over on Fox News and
    conservative talk radio. And a good portion of the
    country will believe it.” Paul Waldman is an opinion
    writer for the Plum Line blog at the Washington Post.

    3. ==> How GOP Used a Black Woman as a Prop

    One moment in yesterday’s hearings stood out in
    particular for Sophia Nelson: when GOP Congressman Mark
    Meadows brought in Lynne Patton, a non-committee
    staffer and former party planner for
    the Trump Organization who now oversees public housing
    in New York and New Jersey for the Department of
    Housing and Urban Development. Nelson says, “Meadows
    should be more than embarrassed;
    he should be ashamed of himself. To bring in a black
    woman to point to as a silent ‘prop’ to supposedly show
    that President Donald Trump couldn’t be racist is about
    as low as I have seen the
    GOP sink. And I have seen them sink pretty damned low
    in the over 25 years I have been a member of, and
    staffer to the Republican Party.” Sophia Nelson is a
    former Congressional Committee
    Investigative counsel and corporate lobbyist. A
    journalist and author, she is a well-known radio and TV
    personality. Contact Monica Wood at monica@mwprinc.com

    4. ==> The History of America’s ‘Separate but Equal’
    Policy

    Plessy v. Ferguson is synonymous with Jim Crow laws and
    the unjust doctrine of “separate but equal.” But few
    Americans know more than a superficial understanding of
    its origins and outcome.
    Invite Washington Post editor and historian Steve
    Luxenberg to discuss the decision and its long-term
    impact on race relations in America. He’ll explain how
    the U.S. Supreme Court decision
    ushered in a legal separation in America by race and
    color — for more than 60 years. Separate railroad cars
    and separate schools became separate bathrooms and
    separate water fountains.
    Separate entrances to public buildings. Separate places
    to shop and eat a meal. Mostly in the South, but also
    in the North. Luxenberg’s new book is “Separate: The
    Story of Plessy V. Ferguson,
    and America’s Journey from Slavery to Segregation.”

    5. ==> How to Get $20K More When You Sell Your Home

    Countless people in your audience have a house, condo,
    cabin or other home site on the market. Help them get
    ahead of the competition and land the best offer by
    inviting Marlena Uhrik to
    explain how a small investment in proper home staging
    can sell your property faster, and for more money.
    You’ll learn why a wall-to-wall empty home, even with
    outstanding curb appeal, can
    lose the attention of prospective buyers and how to
    stage a property with the least investment and the
    biggest WOW factors. She says, “A $10 lamp could get
    you $20K more for your property and
    well-placed furniture will literally help people
    envision themselves and their own possessions at home
    there.” Using clever accessories and lighting tips,
    Marlena says you can create an
    inviting feeling and showcase the roominess of any
    space. Marlena Uhrik is the author of “The Secret Sauce

    6. ==> National Procrastination Week – Is
    Procrastination an Asset?

    The first week of March is National Procrastination
    Week, though not surprisingly it’s sometimes held the
    week after! Regardless, you shouldn’t put off booking
    Mariann Adams. She’ll tell
    listeners why even though procrastination feels like a
    character flaw, it’s an asset! “Procrastination isn’t a
    defect; it actually means the brain and body are
    working right,” says Adams.
    “Procrastination is a form of anxiety that shuts down
    the brain as a protection. So procrastination isn’t
    overcome by willpower, but by understanding how the
    brain and body work!” Adams says
    everyone is affected by daily anxiety that drives their
    behavior. She’ll explain how to read the ‘road signs’,
    and share quick ways to navigate past anxiety. Mariann
    Adams, MS, NCTM, is an
    experienced media guest, corporate consultant, and the
    author of “Boost Core Power and Bust Anxiety”. She is
    an expert on presenting the psychological,
    physiological, neurological, and
    interpersonal aspects of anxiety in playful, easy-to-
    understand way–for instant, increased brain power!

    town all by yourself or start a new hobby that shocks
    your friends. Her tips are simple, fun and they work!

    Does the Starbucks barista know your name? Has it
    become unthinkable to begin your day without a cup or
    two of Joe? Do you often get a buzz from sports or
    energy drinks? If so, Caffeine
    Awareness Month in March is your holiday. As wellness

    of American adults consume caffeine every day, with
    coffee being the most popular
    choice. Adita can talk about what all that caffeine may
    be doing to your body, what you can do if you are
    addicted to it and ways caffeine can lead you to
    experience less energy. Adita is a
    30-year wellness educator who has been quoted in Shape
    and Fitness. She is the author of “SuperPowers.”

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

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

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

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

    11. ==> Finally — A Viable Solution to the Opioid
    Epidemic

    Today’s opioid epidemic is eroding the core of society,
    in terms of cost and human suffering. Almost everyone
    knows someone affected by the opioid problem, as 87% of
    people on opioids have
    chronic pain. The answers have been revealed in the
    last 10 years of neuroscience research, but little of
    this knowledge has been adopted by mainstream medicine.
    That’s the message of Dr.
    David Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s
    Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain”. This expert presents a
    self-directed, literature-based plan for becoming pain-
    free. It’s the solution to
    the opioid crisis! As your on-air guest, Dr. Hanscom
    will talk about his discoveries and reveal why he says:
    “What most doctors don’t know can and will harm you.”
    Dr. Hanscom will also
    explore what makes most treatments for pain
    ineffective. Ask him about the reason today’s opioid
    crisis affects all ages, all families, all businesses,
    and our economy. Contact him at

    12. ==> The Reason Gillette’s #MeToo Ad Infuriates Men

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

    14. ==> Dr. Love – 25 Ways to Develop a Loving Attitude

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

    misused words in the English language.

    16. ==> What He (and She) Hears when You Talk to Them

    Today more than ever it is harder to be heard even in
    our most intimate relationships. Couples are more
    easily distracted by electronic devices, of course, but
    also because too often they
    rush to judgment instead of actually listening to each
    other. As a result, couples are paying the price with
    broken relationships, constant disappointments and
    arguments that never seem to be
    resolved, often about the smallest of things, says
    Denise Healy, M.A. Invite her on your show and hear
    how to put aside judgment, criticism and blame to truly
    hear what another person is
    saying, the big problem men have with communication and
    how to fix it, and tips for choosing the right time to
    have important conversations that are likely to be
    successful. Denise Healy is
    co-founder and co-CEO of Streets2Schools, Inc. A
    victim’s advocate who works with violent offenders, she
    draws upon her four decades of teaching, mentoring,
    coaching, and counseling thousands
    of real people to offer practical advice for

    17. ==> Students Should Be Able to Rate Their Teachers!

    Students in college get to evaluate their teachers…
    so why hasn’t this become the norm in high schools and
    even grade schools, whether in private school settings,
    cyber/charter schools, or
    public school systems? Learn more when you interview
    education expert Barb Daniels, author of the Timmy
    Teacup series of books on self-esteem and anti-
    bullying. She’ll explain how schools can
    establish rate-teacher systems that go beyond complaint
    forums to create real change that benefits everyone and
    enhances education. Barb says the rewards include fewer
    bullying issues, less
    anger and frustration among teachers, and improved
    student/faculty relationships as well as higher
    motivation among student athletes, higher grades, and
    more mature youngsters and teens ready
    to work effectively with their educators. Barb’s rating
    system advice is designed to help faculty feel more
    fulfilled and serve the entire school community because
    the most important “clients” (students) are the
    watchdogs. Contact Barb Daniels at (636) 730-3288;

    18. ==> Do a Show on Super Grandparenting

    Grandparents play an important role in preparing
    younger generations for a happier and more successful
    life. But sometimes ‘super’ grandparenting is required,
    as Dr. Oliver Akamnonu and his wife discovered. They
    left their high-powered careers and significantly
    changed their lives to help their daughter Nena
    throughout her pregnancy (while in medical school!) and
    once baby Lydia arrived. Interview the Akamnonus to
    learn how super grandparents help improve: an extended
    family’s health, education, income, relationships and
    society. The Akamnonus co-authored “Little
    Baby Lydia, Grandma, Grandpa and Student Mom: Saga of
    Family Role Reversal and the New Times.” Invite them on
    your show and learn 5 things super grandparents always
    do, why financial support and childcare are only part
    of the equation, how family members can smoothly adjust
    lifestyle for their loved ones, and why 2019 is such an
    important year for grandparents everywhere. Contact

    19. ==> From Hippies to #MeToo — What You Never Knew

    People everywhere experience times of personal
    challenge, relationship issues with loved ones, and
    powerful social change. And they could all use advice
    and been-there insights from someone who understands.
    Audiences will therefore thank you for interviewing
    psychologist Pratibha Eastwood, whose real-life journey
    both personal and professional includes decades of
    cultural upheaval and several wars. Learn from Pratibha
    what it was like to be a fearful child sent to boarding
    schools at a very young age — during some of the worst
    of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. What do few
    Americans know about such Middle Eastern crises? Ask
    Pratibha (and invite callers) to explore: what led her
    to experiment with drugs, live in a commune, and become
    a real “hippie?” How could she finally forgive her
    neglectful parents? What are her opinions about the
    #MeToo Movement? And how did Pratibha’s adventurous
    side help her spiritual journey of turning lemon into
    lemonade? How did she experiment with love as a
    successful survival technique, while traveling to
    unknown far-away places? Contact Pratibha

    1. ==> Kraft and Kelly: Powerful Men & Poor Women

    According to Roxanne Jones, while Robert Kraft and R.
    Kelly’s current legal predicaments are not the same,
    their stories have something in common: the systematic
    exploitation of young girls and women who often are
    poor, vulnerable, ignored and silenced. Jones says both
    cases paint a disturbing picture of just how easily
    justice is denied to certain women in America, and how
    invisible these women remain — often in their own
    communities — despite all the high-profile marches and
    equality movements. She says, “Time will tell what type
    of justice these three privileged men face. Still, it
    is progress that they are even being held accountable
    for sex crimes against women that are too often
    ignored.” Jones is CEO of PUSH Marketing Group and a
    CNN contributor. She’s co-author of “Say it Loud: An
    Illustrated History of the Black Athlete” and talks
    politics, sports and culture weekly on Philadelphia’s
    WURD radio. Contact her at @iamroxannejones

    2. ==> Little-Known Espionage Story Behind Founding of
    Israel

    For a fascinating historical show, invite journalist,
    author, and New York Times op-ed contributor Matti
    Friedman to share the little-known, real-life espionage
    story behind the founding of Israel and the forging of
    Israeli identity. In his latest book, “Spies of No
    Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel”, Friedman
    chronicles the exploits of a ragtag unit of Arabic-
    Jewish spies, assembled by the British during World War
    II, who went undercover in the battle for Israeli
    statehood. A longtime resident of Jerusalem himself,
    Friedman sets out to reframe the story of Israel as a
    Middle Eastern one, freed from Europe-centric
    clichés—to tell a new story about the state’s creation
    that reflects a more complicated story than the one
    Israel tells itself and the world. Contact Johanna
    Ramos Boyer at (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell);
    johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

    3. ==> The Fascinating Future of Space Exploration

    What’s the future of space exploration? Invite NASA
    expert and space historian Rod Pyle to share an inside
    look at the next few decades of spaceflight and long-
    term plans for exploration, utilization, and
    settlement. He’ll talk about the privatization of space
    exploration with entrepreneurial start-ups building
    huge rocket boosters, satellites, rocket engines,
    asteroid probes, prospecting craft, and even commercial
    lunar cargo landers to open this new frontier. Pyle’s
    new book, “Space 2.0”, examines the new partnerships
    that are revolutionizing spaceflight and changing the
    way we reach for the stars. Rod Pyle appears on
    national radio and TV and hosts the podcast “Cool Space
    News” on iHeart Radio. He has written more than a dozen
    books and produced numerous documentaries for the
    History Channel and Discovery Communications including
    the acclaimed Modern Marvels: Apollo 11. Contact him at

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

    Ringo and Paul are still touring and Paul has had 38
    million hits and counting on “Carpool Karaoke.” What is
    perhaps even more remarkable is the band’s “White
    Album” made it into the Billboard Top 10 50 years after
    its release! This timeless group remains a favorite of
    everyone from baby boomers to millennials. All of this
    is not news to Susan Shumsky, who regularly regales
    Beatles fans with fascinating facts about the Fab
    Four’s “White Album” and their lives in the 1960s. When
    you interview Susan you’ll learn what Paul said about
    seeing God when he took the psychedelic drug DMT and
    about the hidden meanings behind “Let it Be,” “Mother
    Nature’s Son,” “Cosmically Conscious,” “Blackbird,”
    “Get Back,” “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road,” “Back in
    the USSR,” “Fool on the Hill,” and “The Long and
    Winding Road.” Also, ways Ringo’s new book is connected
    to the Beatles time in India. Susan spent 22 years
    living in the ashrams of the Beatles’ guru. She is the
    award-winning author of 15 books including “Maharishi &
    Me: Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles’ Guru.” She
    has done over 1,000 media appearances. Contact her at

    5. ==> The Rare Disease Sidelining Peter Frampton

    Legendary guitarist Peter Frampton says his upcoming
    tour will be his last because he is suffering from a
    rare degenerative muscular disease called Myositis. Pop
    singer/songwriter Lisa Sniderman (Aoede) has spent the
    past 10 years battling a form of the same debilitating
    chronic disease, which has no cure. Invite the author
    of “A Light in the Darkness: Transcending Chronic
    Illness through the Power of Art and Attitude,” to
    discuss what myositis is and how it affects the body.
    She’ll also discuss how art and creativity became more
    than therapeutic, and became a lifeline and path to
    healing. An inspirational artist and guest, Lisa can
    talk about her latest multi-media project collaborating
    with 50+ artists, musicians, and authors who also use
    their own unique creativity to heal. Lisa’s been
    honored with more than 50 awards and has been
    considered multiple times for a GRAMMY. Contact her at
    (415) 713-6193; aoede_muse@yahoo.com

    6. ==> Robots Are Coming! And They Want Your Job!

    In the near future, robots will be able to perform jobs
    ranging from bartending to retail sales and even major
    surgery! In fact, China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency
    has launched an artificial intelligence TV news anchor,
    a world first. “I know a lot of people that make
    robots,” says design expert Lorraine Justice. “They’re
    so realistic they’re creepy. There’s a lot of fear of
    technology and robots.” While robots and other forms of
    artificial intelligence will take over many future
    jobs, Lorraine will discuss how to prepare for this,
    and how to develop skills that will continue to be
    relevant in the ever-changing job market. A long-time
    educator, Lorraine is dean emeritus of the College of
    Imaging Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of
    Technology, former director of the School of Design at
    Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the author of “The
    Future of Design, Global Product Innovation in a
    Complex World”. Contact her at

    7. ==> How to Make Passive Income So You Can Retire

    Ever wish you could have money coming in month after
    month without doing any work? Your listeners already
    know that investing in real estate is a proven way for
    ordinary people to achieve financial freedom. But what
    they don’t know is how to sort through all the “get-
    rich-quick” hype and simply get started. That’s why
    you’ll enjoy interviewing Doug Marshall, author of
    “Mastering the Art of Commercial Real Estate
    Investing.” Doug will reveal the number one problem

    before buying their first rental property, and will

    properties. Ask him what he learned from his “loser
    property”. Contact Doug Marshall at (508) 614-1808;
    doug@marshallcf.com

    8. ==> Is Daylight Savings Time Bad for Your Health?

    When we “spring forward” on March 10, many will
    complain about losing just one hour of sleep. Is one
    hour of sleep a big deal? Studies show an increase in
    heart attacks on the Monday following the time shift,
    and within the first 48 hours after the time change, a
    spike in automobile fatalities. Is this a coincidence?
    Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith will talk about the pros and
    cons of losing sleep in the morning for an extra hour
    of sunlight in the evening. She’ll discuss how to get a
    quality night’s sleep, and advise parents on how to
    help their children acclimate to time changes – as well
    as the physical changes that occur in everyone’s bodies
    when seasons and schedules change. Dr. Saundra will
    reveal strategies for feeling rested and refreshed
    despite the time change, how to feel better with less
    hours of sleep, and how to adjust your attitude so
    you’ll be able to sleep better at night. Sleep hygiene
    is a very hot topic! Dr. Saundra’s advice and expertise

    9. ==> Winter’s Season of Pain is Here — What to Do

    Millions of people frown at colder temperatures,
    shorter daylight, and challenging commitments faced
    during these winter months. What can you do about
    chronic pains that flair-up when digging out of the
    snow, hitting the slopes or getting weary at work? What

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

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

    13. ==> This M.D. Has a Three-Pronged Cure for Opioid
    Addiction

    As opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions,
    most treatment programs focus merely on treating the
    symptoms. But Dr. Steven M. Hall claims they are
    getting it all wrong. “The magnitude of the problem is
    mind-boggling, and most recovery programs don’t address
    how this started in the first place,” he says. Thus, he
    has devised a three-pronged treatment program with
    which he has helped dozens of patients in his private
    practice overcome addiction that addresses the physical
    and emotional causes of addiction. “It’s true that
    people’s emotions are as important as their physical
    feelings,” he says. “I teach people how to be healthy
    with their feelings.” Dr. Steven received his medical
    degree from University of Utah School of Medicine and
    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.”

    14. ==> This Organizing is Beyond Live-Changing, It’s
    Life-Saving

    The art of organizing is hot right now, but there’s one
    area where organization can make a huge difference, and
    quite possibly save your life; organizing your health
    history, from medical conditions, surgeries, childhood
    health history, immunizations, allergies, dental
    procedures, doctor/E.R. visits, and more. Invite
    RN/APRN (nurse practitioner) and author Anne McAwley-
    LeDuc to discuss strategies for the best health
    journey. Ask her to explore on-air: How can organizing
    your health history be easier than keeping receipts,
    recipes or mail? Why should you start recording health
    info about your child before birth? What often happens
    to health records when you move, change doctors or
    travel frequently? Anne McAwley-LeDuc is the author of
    the critically-acclaimed workbook “Personal Health
    Organizer: Record Your Medical and Dental History,

    15. ==> Does Marriage Success Depend on Sex?

    Spring is around the corner and so is engagement and
    wedding season. That makes it the perfect time to talk
    about sex and marriage. Just how important is sex to a
    marriage? Should couples expect to have daily sex? Can
    couples form a strong bond without a robust sex life?
    Is viewing pornography a form of cheating? Discuss the
    topic with René and Gloria Vallières, a couple married
    nearly 50 years and the authors of the new book
    “Radical Sex: God’s Foundation for a Healthy Marriage.”
    René was a pastor in The Christian and Missionary
    Alliance and a teaching elder at Evangelical
    Fellowships in New York and Utah. Teaching adult

    16. ==> Why Donald’s Trump Third Marriage Will End,
    Bigly!

    Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
    high profile, nasty divorces and Pastor and Christian
    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 leave him,”
    Rev. George says. “He doesn’t have a concept of
    marriage. He doesn’t treat women with respect and
    esteem them for who they are.” Rev. George should know.
    He’s been married to his wife, Shirley, for 46 years
    and counseled more than 500 troubled couples, with an
    85 percent success rate. Rev. George is an ordained
    minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. He
    has 34 years of experience in Christian ministries as a
    pastor, Christian counselor and life coach. He is the

    17. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make

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

    18. ==> Should Parents Treat Kids like Employees?

    Are you tired of your kids not listening to you? Do you
    wish your kids would do more around the house? Are you
    sick of the arguing, whining and begging? Do you just
    want to like your kids more? “Yes, it’s possible!” says
    Sara Sherman, long-time single mom and parenting
    expert. “Guess what? At home you’re the boss!” In a
    world where many are saying “Leave work at the office!”
    Sara says it’s okay to bring some of it home –
    especially in the area of discipline. Invite her on
    your show and hear how she developed the ‘7 P’s of
    Positive Parenting’ by taking cues from the way a good
    boss trains and supports an employee. Sara Sherman, BA,
    MS, is a speaker, author, blogger, coach and creator of
    the Create Cooperative Kids program. As a single parent
    for most of her adult life, Sara successfully raised

    19. ==> How Learning to Cook Again Can Help Heal Brain
    Injury

    Before she suffered two concussions on the same day,
    Susana Stoica, Ph.D., was an excellent cook. But, like
    many other people with brain trauma, as she started
    recovering from her injuries, Susana found she could no
    longer follow a recipe, even ones she had made for
    years, taste what she was cooking, or even shop for
    food the way she had before. She says, “I couldn’t
    follow a recipe or remember my old recipes. If I
    started to cook the simplest dish and somebody would
    talk to me, I would end up over-salting, skipping steps
    or forgetting the pot on the burner. I nearly burnt
    down the house twice because I forgot I was cooking and
    I went out shopping.” In her effort to find workarounds
    for ‘normal activities,’ she ended up devising her own
    new way of cooking. Her series of “Cooking after Brain
    Injury” books contain recipes of increasing complexity
    accompanied by colorful illustrations. The founder of
    Healing Alternatives, LLC, Susana Stoica is a healer,
    engineer, inventor, and speaker. In July 2018, she gave
    a workshop on brain injury recovery at Harvard Medical
    School. Contact her at (248) 895-5784;

    20. ==> You’ve Been Diagnosed with Cancer, Now What?

    Many of your listeners have been affected by or know
    someone who has been affected by cancer. Often the
    diagnosis brings fear and panic, and pressure to make
    decisions and act NOW. Dr. Leyla Ali has seen too many
    people jump into quick decisions without understanding
    the big picture. Invite her on your show to share
    helpful strategies for understanding and making the
    best decisions regarding your treatment options. Dr.
    Leyla will discuss common cancer treatment options as
    well as the importance of nutrition, digestion and
    detoxification. Your audience will learn how emotional
    health affects the physical body and ways to harness
    the power of the mind to help heal. Dr. Leyla Ali is a
    pharmacist and the author of the upcoming “So You’ve
    Been Diagnosed with Cancer and Now You’re in a Panic
    Handbook” and “Off Balance, The American Way of Health,
    A Pharmacist’s Perspective on Why Drugs Don’t Work”.

    1. ==> Film Critic & Oscars Expert Richard Roeper

    Invite film critic Richard Roeper to talk about this
    year’s nods, the surprises and snubs, and his picks to
    take home a golden statue on Sunday. For more than
    three decades, Roeper has been the leading film critic
    and a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. He rose to
    national prominence as the co-host of the popular
    series “Ebert and Roeper” alongside Roger Ebert. Roeper
    stars in HDNET Movie’s 3rd annual “And The Oscar® Goes
    To…” where he guides viewers on a cinematic odyssey
    that puts the spotlight on a slate of over 50 Oscar®-
    winning films. The marathon runs through the end of
    this week, ending Sunday, Oscar Night. Contact Johanna

    2. ==> Quick, Easy Tips for an Over-the-Top Oscar Party

    Lynne Goldberg says an Oscar party is the perfect time
    to go big, go glamorous and go over the top! But how
    can you put something together in time for Sunday’s
    show? Invite this veteran event planner to share
    award-winning tips on music, props, food, drink… even
    how to set the scene for the all-important social media
    opps. “Decorate in gold and have a red carpet at your
    entrance and a backdrop with your name and Oscar Party
    2019 for photos. Or buy cardboard cut-outs of your
    favorite celebrities and place them around your home,
    including the bathroom, and encourage guests to take
    selfies with a personal hashtag you design.” Most
    important though, Goldberg says, is to have a good
    time, because if you’re enjoying yourself, your guests
    will too. Lynne Goldberg is the president of Boca
    Entertainment, a full service event planning company
    that specializes in theme entertainment. She’s appeared
    on reality TV and her work and commentary has been

    3. ==> For Monday’s Show: Oscar Speeches – Winners &
    Losers

    With no host and no opening monologue, Sunday’s Academy
    Awards are expected to be a departure from the past.
    What won’t change are the acceptance speeches the stars
    will make that will be watched by more than 30 million
    people. Some actors will drone on and be played off,
    but a few will mesmerize. Communication expert Paul
    Hellman will share whose acceptance speech succeeded
    and why. He’ll reveal three things everyone needs to
    hold anyone’s attention—even stars’—in an age when our
    attention span is just eight seconds. Hellman can also
    share memorable anecdotes from past Oscar nights
    including who gave the shortest acceptance speech; he
    consults and speaks internationally on how to excel in
    high-stakes communications. His 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

    World” (AMACOM). Contact him at (508) 879-0934;

    4. == > A Wall, a Sieve, or a Funnel?

    There’s a lot of debate about whether a border wall
    will work. Detractors cite the volume of drugs coming
    in through ports of entry and the potential for
    tunnels. A wall, they say, will leak like a sieve. But
    Dr. Robin Burk looks at how the military funnels
    potential attackers to checkpoints. She says recent
    tech advances when combined with a physical barrier can
    go a long way to establishing order on our southern
    border. Dr. Burk holds a Ph.D. in AI/machine learning,
    taught at West Point after 9/11, and is an expert in
    how complex tech-based systems are changing our world.

    5. ==> Why We’re Still Fascinated by Ted Bundy

    A Netflix documentary series and feature film timed to
    the 30th anniversary of the execution of Ted Bundy has
    renewed interest in one of the most notorious serial
    killers in modern day American history. Nicole Kelly,
    M.D., calls Bundy a ‘Charming Cheater’ psychopath.
    “Sociopaths and psychopaths are known for their
    charisma and superficial charm while they manipulate
    and control others for their own personal satisfaction.
    People are duped by sociopaths and psychopaths not
    because they’re stupid, but because they want to
    believe.” With at least 1 in 25 people falling on the
    sociopath spectrum, Dr. Kelly says it’s important to
    learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from
    these pathological predators. Kelly, a board-certified
    physician, was herself duped by a sociopath. She’s the
    author of “Charming Cheaters: Protect Yourself from the
    Sociopaths, Psychopaths, and Sexopaths in Your Life.

    6. ==> Snowed In? Generate Your Own Heat: Natural
    Libido Boosters

    It’s been a long, cold snowy winter, so you might think
    people would be generating some heat in their bedrooms,
    if only to keep warm! But experts estimate half of
    Americans aren’t having sex, and the reasons—and
    remedies—will surprise you. Did you know that 50% of
    your audience report being too tired to have sex and
    49% say they’re too sick? “Many things affect our
    libidos,” says Dr. Mylaine Riobe, “from toxins in our
    environments to nutrition to hormonal or physical
    issues. But you CAN increase your sex drive and reap
    the benefit of less stress too!” Dr. Riobe will share
    simple and easy ways to naturally increase your sex
    drive no matter what the problem. Mylaine Riobe, MD has
    a multi-faceted unique approach to medicine combining
    Traditional Chinese Medicine with conventional
    medicine. She is the author of “The Tao of Integrative

    7. ==> How African American Doctors Have Changed the
    World

    February is Black History Month, a good time to
    appreciate the many contributions African American
    physicians have made to medicine. For example, were you
    aware that blood transfusions would not have been
    possible without the pioneering work of surgeon Charles
    Drew? Or that an African American ophthalmologist,
    Patricia Bath, played an important role in popularizing
    laser surgery for cataracts? Or that Ben Carson was the
    first neurosurgeon to separate twins conjoined at the
    back of the head? Find out what no one ever told you
    about influential black physicians by interviewing
    Cornelia Davis, M.D., who helped eradicate smallpox in
    India and was one of the first black women admitted to
    the University of California, San Francisco, School of
    Medicine, in the late 1960s. Dr. Davis is the author of
    two books: “Searching for Sitala Mata: Eradicating
    Smallpox in India” and the upcoming “Three Years in
    Ethiopia: How a Civil War and Epidemics Led Me to my
    Daughter.” Contact her at (323) 522-5374;
    davis.cornelia@gmail.com

    8. ==> Why You 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 contends that if we want to
    get serious about creating world peace, women are the
    answer! “Women by nature are nurturers. Men by nature
    create war,” says Pet. “Women are natural communicators
    who use negotiating to show strength instead of bully
    tactics!” Pet is the founder of the Education Community
    (EC), a nonprofit organization, which offers free
    college level courses teaching people how to develop a
    “new way of thinking” that promotes happiness, love and
    peace. His EC initiative has been endorsed by Jack
    Canfield, Brian Tracy and many others. Contact Dr.
    Donald Pet at (860) 253-2691; DPet@rtirguests.com

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

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

    10. ==> Medical Errors: The 3rd Leading Cause of Death
    in US

    There are many experts who believe medical errors have
    become the 3rd leading cause of death in the US –
    behind cancer and heart disease. How and why is this
    happening? Who is to blame? How do we fix it? Interview
    Dr. Ira Williams, who has for decades been hounding the
    five federal agencies created to solve the health care
    crisis in this country. With over 130 years
    collectively between those agencies, our health care
    system is still a mess and medical errors leading to
    deaths in hospitals continues to rise. He says,
    “Organizing state wide grassroots activists to
    challenge the current system is the only way to win!”
    As the oldest medical malpractice expert witness in the
    country he knows what he’s talking about. He’s
    developed a system to empower local grassroots
    activists in each state to radically change our health
    care delivery system. Dr. Ira Williams’ latest book is
    “Healthcare Warriors, Why and How to Become One.”

    11. ==> Travelers: Are You Prepared for a Medical
    Emergency?

    Spring break is coming and along with it, the desire to
    see the world. But while most of us spend a lot of time
    deciding what to pack and what to see, few prepared for
    a possible medical emergency. Susan Cross left the
    country believing she was healthy. During her Caribbean
    vacation, she hiked and snorkeled. But days before she
    was to fly home her appendix burst and she nearly died;
    she and her husband had to scramble to coordinate
    treatment. Now she is making it her mission to help
    other travelers to create their own Medical Travel
    Portfolio. She can explain what documents to place in
    it and who to share it with, why it is important to
    know what your health-care policy covers for out-of-
    country emergency medical care, what role the American
    embassy might play and much more. Susan, a corporate PR
    and crisis communications specialist, documents her
    Caribbean experience in her new book “Power of
    Disruption: A Memoir of Discovery.” Contact her at

    12. ==> The Easy Way to Make Hard Choices

    Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
    whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
    what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
    feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
    Novak is an expert at decision-making, or as she likes
    to call it, “choice-making”. As a systems analyst, she
    does it every day at work for her customers so when she
    was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even scarier
    treatment option, she decided (after freaking out) to
    apply what she does at work to help her make some
    important decisions. Terrie will share her powerful
    story and explain how her three-step decision making
    process makes any decision easier to make. Terrie Novak
    works in software engineering as a systems analyst. Her
    unique framework for “choice-making” can be applied to
    decisions of any kind. Her book, “Hypothesis: An HPV
    Healing Experiment”, outlines a three-step process she
    created to help heal herself. Contact Terrie at (503)

    13. ==> Life Lessons from the 1%: Use them to Help You
    Succeed

    What myths can be busted about the 1%? What lessons can
    we learn from them that can help us succeed? When we
    talk about the 1% it’s a love-hate relationship. But
    make no mistake – we would all rather be them.
    Interview Ivan Obolensky to learn more about the myths
    surrounding the 1% – and how the lessons he learned
    during childhood continue to shape his success today.
    His grandfather Serge Obolensky – aka the Prince of New
    York – married Alice Astor, daughter of John Jacob
    Astor who died on the Titanic. Growing up in this world
    Ivan has firsthand experience. Misconceptions abound
    about their ethics, morals and attitudes. Find out how
    the 1% really lives. “People think that those who have
    wealth are self-centered, have no problems, don’t
    contribute to society, or that they are simply lucky
    and entitled,” says Ivan, “but nothing could be further
    from the truth.” Ivan Obolensky is a true Renaissance
    man in his own right and the author of “Eye of the
    Moon”. Contact Ivan Obolensky at (818) 495-8731;

    14. == > Do A Show On Loving the Unlovable

    Your listeners will be spellbound with this incredible
    true story of Marty Vargas, who, after 20 years, learns
    that his estranged birth mother is alive and living on
    the streets of Philadelphia. He does everything in his
    power to find her, rescue her, and love her…. even
    after she spits in his face and refuses to leave the
    streets. He sacrifices everything for love! Marty will

    15. ==> Former Miss America Contestant – Replace Your
    Bucket List with a ‘Trash It’ List

    While growing up dirt poor on a farm in rural South
    Carolina, Jane Jenkins Herlong had to learn how to
    trash negative thoughts and people in order to become a
    successful woman. “I learned to throw away negative
    talk and train my brain to be positive in order tackle
    insurmountable odds,” she says. Jane went from being a
    homely, bullied farm girl to the Miss America pageant,
    singing at Radio City Music Hall, getting inducted into
    the Speaker Hall of Fame, becoming a Sirius XM comedian
    and best-selling author. “I believe you, too, can set
    your best goals and take a shot if you throw out the
    trash in your life!” Jane is the author of numerous
    critically acclaimed books including “Rhinestones on My
    Flip Flops: Choosing Extravagant Joy in the Midst of
    Everyday Mess-ups” and “Bury Me with My Pearls: Humor
    with a Spiritual Twist.” Contact her at

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

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

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

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

    18. ==> 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
    the 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 why thinking about food makes you fat—not
    eating it—and 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! Stop When You Want!: A No-Diet, Weight-
    Loss Program.” This experienced talk show guest spent
    more than a decade teaching her program while working
    under the auspices of a leading New York City
    endocrinologist. She has also taught the program at the
    Learning Annex and lectured at Lennox Hill Hospital.

    19. ==> How Shame Keeps Addicts Hooked

    As opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions,
    society stigmatizes addicts. According to Dr. Isaac
    Alexis, this is just making the crisis worse. “It’s not
    just about treating the addict,” he says. “It’s about
    treating their environments and families. We have to
    work with society as a whole to address the issue. We
    don’t shame people who have diabetes or cancer. But
    because of the stigma associated with opioid addition,
    addicts are reluctant to come forward to seek
    treatment. We have to treat the addict as a human
    being.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in trauma
    surgery at Cornell University at New York Hospital of
    Queens. He served as medical director at the Department
    of Justice as well as director of infection control and
    chair of the quality improvement medical committee. He
    is the author of the book “Life and Death behind the
    Brick and Razor-Code Red Diamond” and the upcoming “The
    Seductive Pink Crystal”. Contact Isaac at

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

    Sticks and stones may break our bones, but names can
    make or break our success in life. According to name
    colorology expert B. P. Greycastle, the letters of our
    names represent specific colors, which relate to
    certain glands such as the pancreas, and energy centers
    known as chakras. “I can illustrate with a vast array
    of lists, facts and figures that the most famous and
    successful people in practically every field owe their
    success to their names,” he says. He’ll illustrate this
    on air with astonishing accuracy. A Vietnam veteran who
    studied fashion under the G.I. Bill, B.P. worked in the
    fabric and fashion industries for many years, where he
    discovered the dramatic impact colors have on people’s
    lives. His book is “Your Name and Colors: Key to Your
    Beauty, Career, Personality, Romance and Success”.

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

    1. ==> Johnson, Nixon & Trump: America’s Angry
    Presidents

    As politicians debate the possibility of impeaching
    Donald Trump, David O. Stewart looks at the
    similarities of the current occupant of the White House
    and two previous presidents who landed in impeachment
    proceedings, Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon. The
    author of “Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew
    Johnson” says most leaders try to project a positive
    attitude, but not Johnson or Nixon, and now Trump.
    “Anger and grievance fueled the politics of all three.
    For the first two, at least, that approach ended badly.
    History does not always repeat itself. Today’s angry
    presidency need not land in the ditch. Yet a public
    persona steeped in malice implies a paranoia that may
    misinterpret events, plus instability and even caprice
    – all dangerous qualities for someone with great
    power.” Stewart is an author and attorney who writes
    nonfiction historical narratives and historical
    fiction. Contact Maureen Cole at (212) 698-7183;
    maureen.cole@simonandschuster.com

    2. ==> The Best and Worst Oscar Speeches

    With no host and no opening monologue, the Academy
    Awards this Sunday are expected to be a departure from
    the past. What won’t change are the acceptance speeches
    the stars will make that will be watched by more than
    30 million people. Some actors will drone on and be
    played off, but a few will mesmerize. Communication
    expert Paul Hellman will share whose acceptance speech
    succeeded and why. He’ll reveal three things everyone
    needs to hold anyone’s attention—even stars’—in an age
    when our attention span is just eight seconds. Hellman
    can also share memorable anecdotes from past Oscar
    nights including who gave the shortest acceptance
    speech; he consults and speaks internationally on how
    to excel in high-stakes communications. His 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). Contact him at (508)

    3. ==> Great Oscar Show: Why Women Directors Are
    Snubbed

    Women have made huge inroads this year, particularly in
    politics, but not when it comes to the Academy Awards
    where this year’s nominees for best director include
    men named Spike, Adam, Alfonso, Yorgos and Pawel.
    Award-winning female film director and author Kailin
    Gow will discuss why there is a lack of female
    directors in Hollywood and how their absence shuts out
    the perspective of half the population. Founder of the
    newly launched OTT channel FemaleFlix, showcasing women
    interest films, shows, activities, and news, Gow will
    discuss why the number of female directors has been
    declining for the past five years, how women and
    minorities can break through the glass ceiling, and
    what it’s like to be approached by producers with male
    development teams when her own books are optioned.
    Kailin Gow’s 300 plus books feature strong female
    characters and have sold more than 5.5 million copies
    worldwide. Her movies have won accolades at film
    festivals around the world. Contact her at (617)

    4. ==> The Grand Canyon Turns 100 – The Future of
    America’s Public Land

    February 26, 2019 marks the 100th Anniversary of the
    establishment of Grand Canyon National Park by
    President Woodrow Wilson and Congress. Invite Stephen
    Nash, author of “Grand Canyon for Sale: Public Lands
    versus Private Interests in the Era of Climate Change”,
    to discuss the precarious future of America’s public
    lands. Nash says a growing political movement, well
    financed and occasionally violent, is fighting to break
    up these federal lands and return them to state, local,
    and private control. He’ll explain how our national
    parks, even the million acres of Grand Canyon, have
    always been too small to sustain their full suite of
    wildlife species. And why the scheme to open public
    lands to development would inflict major economic
    damage, and foreclose the future for many wild species
    — part of our irreplaceable natural heritage. Stephen
    Nash is a Visiting Senior Research Scholar at the
    University of Richmond. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at
    (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell);
    johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

    5. ==> New Federal Tax Rules Will Hurt Some Taxpayers

    Tax filers who were expecting to pay less federal
    income tax this year may be in for an unpleasant
    surprise thanks to new regulations. CPA Grapeson Wilson
    says, “They may find the major portion of their
    itemized deduction has been wiped away.” Invite Wilson
    on your show to explain how your listeners can save
    money on taxes, especially those who live in high
    property tax areas and states with high income taxes.
    They’ll also learn why, in spite of all that, Wilson
    lauds the new tax reform for the benefits it provides
    to small- to medium-size businesses. Grapeson Wilson is
    president of Grapeson M. Wilson CPA LLC, a Houston-
    based CPA firm whose clients range from solopreneurs to
    multimillion-dollar corporations. He is the author of
    the course “Tax Saver Series (Standard Vs Itemized)
    Deductions.” Contact him at (832) 675-9400 (office)
    281-919-3521 (cell); gwilson@cpashoustontx.com

    6. ==> Behind-the-Scenes IRS Chaos

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

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

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

    8. ==> What Men Dislike Most About Working with Women

    Women, by their nature, are emotional beings. Men are
    not. And, as Wall Street executive, business consultant
    and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-check) will
    point out, when men and women work together these
    differences can cause problems. Invite Tamara to share
    some of these problems and why she believes women need
    to address them if they want to get ahead. For example,
    the No. 1 thing that makes men cringe are women who cry
    at work. In addition, women who yell, scream and are
    moody also put up walls between themselves and their
    male coworkers. Tamara is the author of the bestselling
    book, “Lose the Gum: A Survival Guide for Women on Wall
    Street, Main Street and Every Street in Between.”
    Contact Tamara at (848) 373-3543;
    TLashchyk@rtirguests.com

    9. ==> Surprising Sexual Assault Law Loopholes

    Lawmakers in several states are working to close legal
    loopholes involving rape and sexual assault. Bills in
    Indiana just met defeat, but in South Carolina, there
    are bills currently pending. Joyce Short, a three-time
    sexual assault survivor, spent years studying consent
    and is working with legislators across the country to
    change the laws. Invite her to discuss current bills
    and efforts to bring about change, how the statutes
    governing sexual-assault have changed in recent years,
    and why some of those changes are problematic including
    federal laws that govern the handling of sexual-assault
    allegations on college campuses. Short has been
    featured on Nightline, BuzzFeed, Inside Edition and
    more. Her third book on sexual assault, “Your Consent –
    The Key to Conquering Sexual Assault,” will be released
    this spring. Contact her at (917) 517-8572;
    short.jm@aol.com

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

    Beach Boys fans have long known of brilliant yet
    troubled Brian Wilson’s slide into the abyss of drugs
    and mental illness. But what a lot of them don’t know
    is how former NFL player “Rocky” Pamplin helped to save
    Wilson from himself. Rocky was college roommates with
    Stan Love, brother of Beach Boys’ lead singer Mike
    Love. In the mid-1970s, Stan and Rocky were hired to be
    full-time bodyguards for Brian Wilson. “Brian was a
    315-pound recluse who was a paranoid schizophrenic,”
    Rocky says. “Stan said, ‘Don’t think you are going to
    meet a clean-cut Beach Boy.’ He was scary.” While much
    has been written about Rocky, Stan and their tumultuous
    two-and-a-half years with Brian, this is the first time
    Rocky is coming forward to reveal the behind-the-scene
    details of his relationship with the Beach Boys. He is
    the co-author of the book “The Beach Boys Endless Wave:
    Inside America’s Band”, along with film producer,
    writer and director Ron Hamady. Contact Mike Vezo at
    (310) 406-8300; mvezo@mac.com

    11. ==> Everything You Were Too Terrified to Ask about
    Ghosts

    Dr. Susan Shumsky is a ghost whisperer who can tell you
    everything you ever wanted to know about ghosts—but
    were too terrified to ask. For example, what really
    happens to souls after death? Is it possible to
    communicate with the dead; how so? Why are some homes,
    cars, offices and other places haunted? What are the 11
    types of people most susceptible to possession? What
    are the 15 reasons why people become ghosts? Dr.
    Shumsky is no fly-by-night author. She has 16 books in
    print and has been published by Simon & Schuster. Open
    your phone lines for listeners with haunted houses, and
    Dr. Shumsky will send the ghosts packing! Contact her
    at (917) 336-7184; SShumsky@rtirguests.com

    12. ==> Why Creating a Better World Starts with Self-
    Love

    From the top echelons of power to the average person on
    the street, treating people with respect and kindness
    appears to have become as outdated as the rotary phone,
    eight-track tapes, and cursive handwriting. Attacking,
    accusing, and shouting at one another has become our
    modus operandi. Joffre McClung believes something more
    profound is going on. “Self-love, or the lack of self-
    love, not only determines how we see ourselves but also
    governs how we experience the world around us. It is
    the prism through which we see and define all things,”
    says Joffre. She’ll explain how expanding your own
    self-love ripples outward into the world making it a
    much more positive and loving place, and how a lack of
    self-love often manifests and impacts our lives. She’ll
    give listeners a quick self-love test and share simple
    ways to start and end the day with self-appreciation
    and gratitude. Joffre McClung has appeared on numerous
    radio and TV programs. She’s a former media producer,
    independent filmmaker, and the author of “The Heart of
    the Matter”. Contact her at (917) 994-0225 (TX);
    JMcClung@rtirguests.com

    13. ==> The Reason Gillette’s #MeToo Ad Infuriates Men

    When the Gillette Razor ad that invokes the #MeToo
    movement first aired, its focus on bullying and toxic
    masculinity created a huge controversy and angered a
    lot of men, particularly older ones. “Society has
    changed a lot in the last few decades,” says Curt
    Lindsley, founder of the nonprofit domestic violence
    awareness organization Go Purple USA. “A lot of baby
    boomers grew up in a sexist culture. Women are taking
    over jobs traditionally held by males. Some no doubt
    were up in arms about the ad because the macho,
    insensitive guy stereotyped may have hit a little too
    close to home.” This is just one of the many factors
    that contributes to domestic violence. Curt can share
    how community groups, nonprofits and society overall
    can get involved to stop this epidemic. In addition to
    his work with Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go Purple
    Awareness Day (Oct. 1), he is also the co-founder of
    the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force. Contact
    Curt at gopurpleusa@gmail.com; (256) 529-9037.

    14. ==> What’s Wrong with America’s Health Delivery
    System

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

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

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

    Attacks by Predators on Humans”. Contact him at (605)

    16. ==> 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 many
    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. Appreciative audiences (teens
    themselves and their mentors/parents/teachers) will
    also hear about must-know lifelong secrets for “people-
    smart” communication, conflict resolution,
    demonstrating kindness, specializing in effective
    responses and much more. Contact Bernabei at (651)

    17. ==> Your Kids Might Not Be College Material, They
    Could Be Something Better!

    Why is this old myth still around? It’s the one that
    says: “You must attend and finish college to earn the
    best career opportunities and future income.” But
    Americans are learning that a college degree doesn’t
    guarantee wealth, happiness or success. What it does
    guarantee is a high price-tag (often tied to years of
    difficult student loans) — plus a delay in joining the
    workforce. College students can also choose the wrong
    major, hate their eventual jobs, or lose to negative
    influences (drinking, drugs) common to college
    campuses. Invite Joe Swinger, author of “Awaken the
    Magic Within” and founder/CEO of Self-Mastery
    Leadership Academy, to share alternatives to the
    college run-around. He’ll introduce your audience to
    more affordable learning programs/activities,
    entrepreneurial goals and lucrative career paths that
    don’t require a time-consuming, expensive college
    degree. Ask Joe about his own story of becoming a
    successful boss, educator and innovator. Contact him at

    19. ==> Undertaker’s Daughter: Death is Not the End of
    Life

    For most people, death is the final act of life. But
    Margo Lenmark says death can actually be the start of a
    better life for loved ones left behind, something she
    discovered while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
    home where her dad was an undertaker. She shares her
    fascinating experiences and insights in her newly
    published book “Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of an
    Undertaker’s Daughter”. “A person’s face in death
    mirrors their living and their dying,” Margo says.
    “This book speaks of both.” The book has received
    glowing reviews from a number of prominent authors and
    spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra, who says,
    “Life is not the opposite of death. It is birth and
    death that are opposites. Life is the continuum of
    birth and death eternally, and now. Read this
    engrossing book for your own insights into reality.”

    20. ==> Know These Tips for Making More Meaning

    Want some concise advice on how to make more meaning
    for yourself and others? You could call these tips
    ‘pocketsize’ because Bob Lichtenbert, Ph.D., literally
    carried them on index cards in his shirt pocket for
    more than 30 years. When he published the best in his
    journal “The Meaning of Life,” his story went viral
    nationwide! Invite Bob on your show to share his advice
    and explain what “meaning” is, how you can make it, and
    what it does for your life. Ask Bob how he developed
    these life-changing tips, and which are his own
    favorites. Who needs more meaning the most? What should
    you be teaching your kids and other proteges? The soon-
    to-be-released “Tips for Making Meaning” is Bob’s
    second book. He is also the author of the abridged

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

    1. ==> Venezuela Regime Change ‘Made in America’

    Venezuelans took to the streets in massive protests
    this week seeking to drive President Nicolas Maduro
    from office. Through strong U.S. sanctions,
    international isolation and street protests, the
    opposition and its foreign allies led by the Trump
    administration had hoped to rapidly achieve Maduro’s
    ouster but some believe the situation could go on for
    months. Steve Ellner is a writer living in Venezuela.
    Currently in the U.S., he says, “Since its outset, the
    Trump administration has ratcheted up pressure on
    Venezuela and radicalized its positions. In the
    process, the Venezuelan opposition has become more and
    more associated with — and dependent on — Washington
    and its allies.” Ellner is associate managing editor of
    Latin American Perspectives and is the editor of The
    Pink Tide Experiences: Breakthroughs and Shortcomings
    in Twenty-First Century Latin America. He just wrote
    the piece “Regime Change ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ Contact
    him at sellner74@gmail.com, @sellner74

    2. ==> Social Security Reform for Whom?

    The Social Security 2100 Act is back — and this time
    it could pass. Andrew Biggs, a resident scholar at the
    American Enterprise Institute, says “If Republicans
    ever want a deal on Social Security reform, they’re
    probably going to have to live with some tax increases.
    And they’re going to have to get some new reform ideas
    of their own if they wish to counter a unified
    Democratic party pushing the Social Security 2100 Act.”
    The measure aims to raise revenue so that no benefit
    cuts need to be made over the long term. It also
    intends to expand benefits for current and future
    beneficiaries. But Biggs says the plan simply
    reshuffles most of the dollars to middle- and higher-
    income retirees and leaves those who need Social
    Security most, with little. Contact him at
    202.862.5841; andrew.biggs@aei.org

    3. ==> Why Blackface is So Offensive

    Just as another incident involving blackface makes
    news, a Pew poll is out showing a third of Americans
    think blackface is acceptable at Halloween. What may
    seem like harmless behavior to white people is deeply
    offensive to black people; moreover, it is just one
    aspect of lingering racial insensitivity in the U.S.
    Invite Nita Wiggins to address the issue including why
    she says Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, whose yearbook
    photo sparked an uproar, should resign and not just
    because of the problem image. Nita will explain that
    just last month, the Virginia Senate, with the approval
    of the governor and despite the silent protest of the
    lieutenant governor, once again honored Confederate
    general Robert E. Lee during a Senate session. A former
    resident of Charlottesville, Va., Nita is a professor
    who teaches racial sensitivity to her journalism
    students in Paris. Contact her at
    NWiggins@rtirguests.com

    4. ==> Etsy Trend Expert: How to Shop Green

    You may know what to look for when you’re food
    shopping, but do you know how to shop ‘green’ for your
    entire home? Invite Etsy Trend Expert Dayna Isom
    Johnson to discuss the notion of eco-friendly shopping.
    She’ll share tips on how to shop green for your home,
    the importance of understanding where and how a product
    was made, and finding products that foster
    sustainability and help support a green lifestyle.
    Dayna is also a judge on the hit NBC craft competition
    series Making It starring Amy Poehler & Nick Offerman.
    She’s also a Trend Expert at Etsy, a global marketplace
    for handcrafted and custom items. Contact John Angelo
    at john@premieretv.com

    5. ==> Why Female Directors Are MIA at the Oscar’s

    Women have made huge inroads this year, particularly in
    politics, but not when it comes to the Academy Awards
    where this year’s nominees for best director include
    men named Spike, Adam, Alfonso, Yorgos and Pawel.
    Award-winning female film director and author Kailin
    Gow will discuss why there is a lack of female
    directors in Hollywood and how their absence shuts out
    the perspective of half the population. Founder of the
    newly launched OTT channel FemaleFlix, showcasing women
    interest films, shows, activities, and news, Gow will
    discuss why the number of female directors has been
    declining for the past five years, how women and
    minorities can break through the glass ceiling, and
    what it’s like to be approached by producers with male
    development teams when her own books are optioned.
    Kailin Gow’s 300 plus books feature strong female
    characters and have sold more than 5.5 million copies
    worldwide. Her movies have won accolades at film
    festivals around the world. Contact her at (617)

    6. ==> Eat that Valentine’s Chocolate and Still Lose
    Weight

    Chocolate is everywhere this week and it’s a great gift
    for Valentine’s Day, but it can be a problem if you’re
    watching your weight and have an affinity for the cocoa
    bean. Chocolate tops the list of foods many people
    can’t stop eating until they’ve consumed the entire
    box! But live on the air, Sora Vernikoff can teach your
    audience her simple Green Technique that will allow
    them to eat all the chocolate they want and still lose
    weight. Turning conventional wisdom on its ear, she’ll
    explain why thinking about food makes you fat—not
    eating it—and 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! Stop When You Want!: A No-Diet, Weight-
    Loss Program.” This experienced talk show guest spent
    more than a decade teaching her program while working
    under the auspices of a leading New York City
    endocrinologist. She has also taught the program at the
    Learning Annex and lectured at Lennox Hill Hospital.

    7. ==> Single and Satisfied? Celebrate this Week

    It’s Satisfied Staying Single Week and a great time to
    talk with Patricia Houtz, author of the upcoming book
    “Solo by Choice.” In 2018, according to U.S. Census
    data, just 30 percent of young adults 18 to 34 were
    married, a number that is half of what it was 40 years
    ago. Young people are increasingly likely to delay
    getting married or not get married at all, a
    development that Houtz understands. She’ll discuss why
    marriage isn’t for everyone and that’s a good thing. In
    fact, some 55 percent of adults in the 2017 census said
    marriage isn’t necessary for a happy life. Houtz can
    also talk about the remarkable life she has led by
    being single and child-free. That life of freedom has
    included dating older men, carrying a gun and busting
    drug dealers. Contact her at (775) 451-3191;

    8. ==> How to Make Passive Income So You Can Retire

    Ever wish you could have money coming in month after
    month without doing any work? Your listeners already
    know that investing in real estate is a proven way for
    ordinary people to achieve financial freedom. But what
    they don’t know is how to sort through all the “get-
    rich-quick” hype and simply get started. That’s why
    you’ll enjoy interviewing Doug Marshall, author of
    “Mastering the Art of Real Estate Investing.” Doug will
    reveal step-by-step what you can do part-time to buy
    your first property. You’ll learn how to buy a property
    below its market value without using much of your own
    money and how to do it without becoming a landlord.
    He’ll also reveal five mistakes to avoid when buying
    rental properties. Ask him what he learned from his
    “loser property” and how to overcome the fear of
    getting started. Contact Doug Marshall at (508)
    614-1808; doug@marshallcf.com

    9. ==> What You Could Lose by Winning a Lawsuit

    Legal trouble is stressful and expensive. Do you have
    the right good lawyer to help you navigate a lawsuit
    (whether you’re suing or being sued), while looking
    after your pocketbook? How is seeking courtroom justice
    the priciest way to solve a problem? Are you willing to
    stay the course and jeopardize your business, your
    marriage or your own health? Explore many such
    questions with attorney Francine Tone, Esq., who’s been
    educating the public for years about getting the right
    legal help, making wise decisions, asking prudent
    questions, and proceeding with caution as legal
    challenges unfold. A prolific author and sought-after
    speaker, Francine recently released the best-selling
    book “What Every Good Lawyer Wants You to Know.”
    Audiences will thank you for welcoming her on-air to
    talk myths and truths about lawsuits most people find
    themselves embroiled in — and what might happen should
    you lose OR win. She’ll also reveal whether TV legal
    dramas (like Bull, Suits, The Good Fight) are anywhere
    close to reality. Contact Francine Tone at (531)

    FTone@rtirguests.com

    10. ==> Why this Guest Received a Presidential Pardon

    What’s it like receiving a Presidential Pardon? Why did
    John Smith want one? He 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
    and hear his incredible story of perseverance and grit.
    His warning to your audience is this – If it can happen
    to him… it can happen to you. John Smith is the author

    12. == Do A Show on Medical Errors: The 3rd Leading
    Cause of Death in U.S.

    There are many experts who believe medical errors are
    now the 3rd leading cause of death in the US – behind
    cancer and heart disease. How and why is this
    happening? Who is to blame? How do we fix it? For
    decades, Dr. Ira Williams has been hounding the five
    Federal agencies created to solve the health care
    crisis in this country. With over 130 years
    collectively between those agencies, our health care
    system is still a mess and medical errors leading to
    deaths in hospitals continues to rise. As the oldest
    medical malpractice expert witness in the country, Dr.
    Williams knows what he’s talking about. He’s developed

    system. “Organizing statewide grassroots activists to
    challenge the current system is the only way to win!”

    An 18-year-old dies of fatty liver disease while a 55-
    year-old woman’s stage 4 cancer disappears. How are
    both possible? Health is the most confusing and
    controversial topic today with crazy diets from vegan
    to keto and everything in between. Over 100 million
    Americans are very sick – and Reena Jadhav used to be
    one of them! Reena refused to accept that her 28

    When’s the last time you had a decent conversation?
    With your spouse? Your friends? Your coworkers? If

    conversation is dead. Enter Jean-Paul Gravel, an
    Emotional Freedom expert, who can explain exactly why
    your audience isn’t having the conversations they can
    and why. He’ll explain why unlocking the hidden power

    18. ==> How to Overcome the B.S. Factor Around You

    Today, B.S. is all around us. Whether you call it fake
    news or not, it is getting harder for average people to

    religion. Author and speaker Sharon Quinn, who lives in
    America’s heartland, has come up with a ten-point plan
    for reducing the B.S. factor and strengthening our own

    want to like your kids more? “Yes, it’s possible!” says

    1. ==> The Drag Queen Story Hour Controversy

    Many libraries across the country have been hosting or
    participating in Drag Queen Story Hours and a few have
    experienced pushback from some members of their
    community. The Pennsylvania Pastors Network (PPN) is
    alerting parents to the events, which have drawn both
    support and protests. Executive Director Gary Dull, a
    pastor at Faith Baptist Church of Altoona says,
    “Subjecting children to drag queens who not only read a
    story with an LGBTQ agenda, but who also coerce
    children to accept their lifestyle, is child abuse by
    the parents who bring their children to watch men
    dressed up as women.” Organizers of the story hours say
    the program is about tolerance and gives kids
    glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.
    “If children were allowed they’d dress up every day. I
    don’t think they’re thinking about gender assumptions,”
    says Juliana Delgado Lopera, executive director of
    RADAR Productions. Contact at her at

    2. ==> What White People Don’t Get about Blackface

    A series of scandals last week brought the issue of
    “blackface” — when nonblack people darken their skin
    using makeup or other products to imitate a black
    person — roaring back into the cultural conversation.
    What may seem like harmless behavior to white people is
    deeply offensive to black people; moreover, it is just
    one aspect of lingering racial insensitivity in the
    U.S. Nita Wiggins will address this issue including why
    she says Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, should resign and
    not just because of the problem image. You’ll hear how
    just last month, the Virginia Senate, with the approval
    of the governor and despite the silent protest of the
    lieutenant governor, once again honored Confederate
    general Robert E. Lee during a Senate session. A former
    resident of Charlottesville, Va., Nita is a professor
    who teaches racial sensitivity to her journalism
    students in Paris, and her memoir, “Civil Rights Baby,”
    is being discussed as a possible film. Contact her at

    3. ==> What Black History Month Can Teach Us about
    Resilience

    “While Black History Month offers the opportunity to
    celebrate our strength and resilience, we have much
    more to overcome. However, this culture of low
    expectations shouldn’t be used as an excuse. Don’t
    allow that to be a stumbling block; use it as an
    incentive to move beyond!” according to Dr. Dee
    Carroll. Having faced huge challenges in her own life,
    Dr. Carroll says that the only one who can keep you
    from success is you. “Moving beyond is a choice!” she
    says. Invite her on you show to discuss why negative
    beliefs can do more harm than real challenges and how
    to use life’s roadblocks to become stronger and more
    successful. She’ll also share a 30-second quick fix for
    releasing, recovering and reinventing yourself. Dee
    Carroll, Ph.D. has over 35 years of experience in HR
    and management consulting. The author of “Emotional
    Emancipation: Step into Your Freedom, Reinvent Your

    4. ==> Our Love-Hate Relationship with Oscar Speeches

    With no host and no opening monologue, this year’s
    Academy Awards on Feb. 24 are expected to be a
    departure from the past. What won’t change are the
    acceptance speeches the stars will make that will be
    watched by more than 30 million people. Some actors
    will drone on and be played off, but a few will
    mesmerize. Communication expert Paul Hellman will share
    whose acceptance speech succeeded and why. He’ll reveal
    three things everyone needs to hold anyone’s
    attention—even stars’—in an age when our attention span
    is just eight seconds. Hellman can also share memorable
    anecdotes from past Oscar nights including who gave the
    shortest acceptance speech; he consults and speaks
    internationally on how to excel in high-stakes
    communications. His 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:

    5. ==> Single by Choice? It’s Your Week Too!

    Most folks think of this week as Valentine’s week, but
    it’s also ‘Satisfied Staying Single Week.’ In 2018,
    according to U.S. Census data, just 30 percent of young
    adults 18 to 34 were married, a number that is half of
    what it was 40 years ago. Young people are increasingly
    likely to delay getting married or not get married at
    all, a development that Patricia Houtz, author of the
    upcoming book “Solo by Choice,” understands. In honor
    of the week that celebrates the single life, have Houtz
    on your show to talk about why marriage is not for
    everyone and that’s a good thing. In fact, some 55
    percent of adults in the 2017 census said that marriage
    is not necessary for a happy life. Houtz can also talk
    about the remarkable life she has led by being single
    and child-free. That life of freedom has included
    dating older men, carrying a gun and busting drug
    dealers. Contact her at (775) 451-3191;

    6. ==> Never Make a Mistake in Love Again!

    Pick the wrong date or mate, and you could face break-
    ups/divorce, lonely single parenting, financial
    challenges, years of regret, even abuse! Perhaps you’ll
    become a statistic in #MeToo! So what’s to know, to
    protect yourself? Interview psychotherapist/sex-
    therapist and relationship expert Beatty Cohan, Ph.D.,
    known for helping tens-of-thousands through her

    best things to have in common with a romantic partner,
    if office romances are risky, and whether delaying sex
    is wise or foolish. From blind dates to warning signs
    your new flame isn’t for you, Dr. Beatty’s got great
    advice for anyone looking for real love. Contact her at

    7. ==> Why You Can’t Find Love

    Everyone wants to be in love. Especially when
    Valentine’s Day nears. Some folks seem to have a hard
    time finding love and others seem to fall for the wrong
    person over and over again. Joffre McClung says both
    types of people have the same basic issue when it comes
    to love. “If you want to find and fall in love with the
    right person you need to already be in love—with
    yourself!” The author of “The Heart of the Matter” will
    suggest ways to go from “wishing for love” to “loving
    who you truly are” and explain how tending to your own
    needs can bring unexpected benefits to your life. Give
    listeners a quick test to see what area they may need
    to bolster with more self-love, and learn simple ways
    to start and end the day with self-appreciation and
    gratitude. Joffre McClung has appeared on numerous
    radio and TV programs. A former media producer,
    independent filmmaker, and author, she takes the
    esoteric and brings it back down to earth with a big
    dose of common sense. Contact her at (917) 994-0225

    8. ==> Dr. Love – 25 Ways to Develop a Loving Attitude

    Valentine’s Day can be great or awful, but let’s be
    honest, focusing on love for one day in February
    doesn’t really make sense. To really become more
    loving, more centered and more spiritually awake it’s
    going to take more than that. It’s going to take a love
    action plan! Michael McGee, M.D., will share with your
    audience his 25 “love practices”, and February is the
    perfect month to start! “Love is one of the most
    confused and misused words in the English language.
    Love is not a feeling. Love is an attitude that
    inspires to action to enhance life!” Dr. Michael McGee
    trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical Schools. He is
    the creator of the unique 12 Step Touchstone Approach
    to Recovery and author of “The Joy of Recovery: The New
    12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction”, an approach

    just five minutes to spare each day—and who doesn’t?
    —Saundra Dalton-Smith, M.D., will tell you what to do
    to boost the intimacy you experience as a couple,
    including your sex life. She’ll explain how to make the
    most of this five minutes whether you sit on the bed,
    on the couch or anywhere in between as you give each
    other uninterrupted time to make eye contact and talk
    about your lives. Far too often, Dr. Saundra says,
    couples spend most of their time on conflict
    resolution—not closeness. She’ll explain what social
    rest and emotional rest are and ways couples can
    provide these respites for their spouses so everyone
    wins. Board-certified in internal medicine, Dr. Saundra
    has been featured in Prevention, Women’s Day, Redbook,

    10. ==> Artificial Intelligence Is Coming for Your Job

    Across the business world, major advances in technology
    including robotics, automation and artificial
    intelligence are expected to dramatically transform the
    makeup of the workforce in the near future. This trend
    will fundamentally change how human workers are
    utilized, including those in the sales profession, and
    whether they will even be needed to perform certain job
    functions at all, notes DJ Sebastian, author of the new
    book, “The Selling Revolution: Prospering in the World
    of Artificial Intelligence.” Sebastian warns that
    advanced technologies driven by artificial intelligence
    will significantly disrupt the sales profession.
    Interview him and learn what professions are most
    vulnerable to job elimination and the specific threat
    to the sales industry that could eliminate half of the

    for leading technology corporations. Contact him at

    11. ==> New Federal Tax Rules Will Hurt Some Taxpayers

    Tax filers who were expecting to pay less federal
    income tax this year may be in for an unpleasant
    surprise thanks to new regulations. CPA Grapeson Wilson
    says, “They may find the major portion of their
    itemized deduction has been wiped away.” Invite Wilson
    on your show to explain how your listeners can save
    money on taxes, especially those who live in high
    property tax areas and states with high income taxes.
    They’ll also learn why, in spite of all that, Wilson
    lauds the new tax reform for the benefits it provides
    to small- to medium-size businesses. Grapeson Wilson is
    president of Grapeson M. Wilson CPA LLC, a Houston-
    based CPA firm whose clients range from solopreneurs to
    multimillion-dollar corporations. He is the author of

    12. ==> Would You Regret Leaving Rockstar Life for
    Family?

    Kevin Guest and his band were finally headed to
    Nashville when something in his gut made him stop.
    After years of hard work, Kevin now felt if he
    continued to pursue his passion for music, he’d lose
    his wife and kids. So he stepped off the path, caught
    crap from his bandmates, and ventured forward into the
    corporate unknown. 25 years later, with stories galore
    (interviewing Gene Simmons one-on-one, onstage with
    Ozzy Osbourne, holding the Hope Diamond in his hands),
    he says he has no regrets about his choice. Kevin, now
    the CEO of a global, billion-dollar company, says,
    “Just like music in disharmony is hard to hear, so are
    our lives.” Invite him to share his wildly entertaining
    stories and how he found harmony in life by utilizing
    12 foundational principles. Kevin Guest has been
    interviewed by Dr. Oz, several TV news shows, podcasts
    and radio interviews. He’s the author of “All the Right
    Reasons.” Contact Tim Brown at (801) 557-1466;

    13. ==> Thursday is National Organ Donor Day

    February 14th is National Organ Donor Day and a chance
    for you to boost a concept that 95 percent of Americans
    believe in even though, paradoxically, only 54 percent
    actually have registered as organ donors. With Joe
    Lafferty as your guest, you’ll not only explode the
    myths that keep people from signing up to be organ
    donors but you’ll also explore the role Hollywood can
    play in saving lives. In addition, you’ll treat your
    audience to Joe’s inspiring story. Joe has survived
    cancer, diabetes, vision loss, a pulmonary embolism,
    kidney failure, heart surgery, a double organ
    transplant and seven minutes of death; all while

    14. ==> How Shame Keeps Addicts Hooked

    As opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions,
    society stigmatizes addicts. According to Dr. Isaac
    Alexis, this is just making the crisis worse. “It’s not
    just about treating the addict,” he says. “It’s about
    treating their environments and families. We have to
    work with society as a whole to address the issue. We
    don’t shame people who have diabetes or cancer. But
    because of the stigma associated with opioid addition,
    addicts are reluctant to come forward to seek
    treatment. We have to treat the addict as a human
    being.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in trauma
    surgery at Cornell University at New York Hospital of
    Queens. He served as medical director at the Department
    of Justice as well as director of infection control and
    chair of the quality improvement medical committee. He
    is the author of the book “Life and Death behind the
    Brick and Razor-Code Red Diamond” and the upcoming “The
    Seductive Pink Crystal”. Contact Isaac at

    15. ==> How Diet Can Dramatically Change Cancer
    Survival

    When Anthony Randle’s wife, Jessica, was diagnosed with
    stage four breast cancer, her doctors told her she
    could eat whatever she wanted while undergoing
    aggressive treatments. But after conducting exhaustive
    research, he discovered that certain foods actually
    feed cancer. “Doctors will tell patients not to smoke
    or drink, but nothing about sugar,” he says. “I learned
    that sugar actually feeds cancer. I also saw chemo
    patients eating fast food and popsicles. I thought,
    ‘Wow, this is so wrong!’” After eliminating sugar and
    other unhealthy foods from her diet, Jessica sailed
    through chemo with virtually no side effects. He shares
    his poignant experiences in “The True Story of a
    Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver: The Struggle
    Within”, and can reveal how he and his wife made it
    through this traumatic experience healthier and happier
    than ever. Contact Anthony at ARandle@rtirguests.com;

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

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

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

    While science and religion have long been considered
    mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
    his good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved
    great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18
    patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a
    loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just
    become a first-time author of a well-received book that
    reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith
    comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
    physics has proven the existence of a power or force
    beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by
    applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his
    daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they
    never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but
    powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is
    the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness:
    Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within”. Contact

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

    treatment option, she decided (after freaking out) to
    apply what she does at work to help her make some
    important decisions. Terrie will share her powerful
    story and explain how her three-step decision making
    process makes any decision easier to make. Terrie Novak
    works in software engineering as a systems analyst. Her
    unique framework for “choice-making” can be applied to
    decisions of any kind. Her book, “Hypothesis: An HPV

    1. ==> Trump’s Attack On Socialism

    President Trump denounced socialism in his State of the
    Union address Tuesday, and some, including Victor
    Wallis, were taken aback by the remarks. Wallis says,
    “Trump embodies an agenda that ignores the well-being
    of the majority of the population. It is significant
    that Trump, while showing his indifference to popular
    needs, chose to denounce socialism. His pretext for
    doing so is the contention that socialism is
    ‘coercive.’ Yet he has no hesitation in imposing the
    coercion of the capitalist market on the tens of
    millions of people in this country whose income is
    inadequate and whose health needs are ignored.” Wallis
    is author of “Red-Green Revolution: The Politics and
    Technology of Ecosocialism” and the upcoming “Democracy
    Denied: Five Lectures on U.S. Politics.” Contact him at
    zendive@aol.com

    2. ==> NASA Expert: The History of Space Robots

    Did you know that NASA once planned to land a machine
    the size of an RV to search for life on Mars? That both
    the United States and Russia planned to explode nuclear
    weapons on the moon? Or that the CIA once stole a
    Soviet moon probe to study it? Invite NASA expert and
    space historian Rod Pyle to share the fascinating
    history of the robotic exploration of the solar system
    from the early days—rife with failure—to the final
    death-dive of the Cassini mission to Saturn. Using his
    access as a NASA/JPL insider and employee, as well as
    the copious archives of both the US and Russian space
    archives, Pyle weaves a rich history of both programs
    from their very origins, when the competition between
    the Cold War superpowers—a second, quieter space
    race—was white hot. Rod Pyle is the author of fifteen
    books on space history, exploration and development.
    His latest is “Interplanetary Robots”. He appears on
    national radio and TV and hosts the podcast “Cool Space
    News” on iHeart Radio. Pyle has also produced numerous

    3. ==> Make Every Day Seem Like Valentine’s Day

    Flowers and candy are nice but the best way to express
    love is with an intimate encounter. Sex on Valentine’s
    Day is not unique but sex every day, now that is
    unique! René and Gloria Vallières are convinced from
    their nearly 50 years of marriage, and working with
    married couples for over 40 years, that daily sex, or
    sex most days, is the surest way to bring married
    couples closer. In fact, they point out that 90 percent
    of the everyday annoyances that bother us about our
    spouse would disappear if we were to enjoy daily sex.
    Intrigued? Invite this dynamic couple on your show to

    mutual love and a successful, satisfying marriage. René
    and Gloria are the authors of “Radical Sex: God’s

    6. ==> An Inspirational Adoption Story Perfect for
    Valentine’s Day

    Everyone loves a love story, particularly around
    Valentine’s Day and especially if it inspires us to
    even greater love. What Cornelia Davis, M.D., did for
    love is remarkable: this infectious disease expert
    risked her life to adopt a child in war-torn Ethiopia.
    She battled meningitis outbreaks, survived stray
    bullets, and braved opposing armies to bring home her
    daughter. Her powerful story is told in her upcoming
    book, “Three Years in Ethiopia: How a Civil War and
    Epidemics Led Me to my Daughter.” Dr. Davis’s tale of
    adopting against all odds makes for a compelling show
    by itself but she can also talk about the realities of
    adoption, her life as a black physician, helping to
    eradicate smallpox in India and her work for the World
    Health Organization. Contact her at (323) 522-5374;

    7. ==> Feb. 11th – Satisfied Staying Single Week

    In 2018, according to U.S. Census data, just 30 percent
    of young adults 18 to 34 were married, a number that
    was nearly 60 percent 40 years ago. Young people are
    increasingly likely to delay getting married or not get
    married at all, a development that cheers Patricia
    Houtz, author of the upcoming book “Solo by Choice.” In
    honor of Satisfied Staying Single Week, have Houtz on
    your show to talk about why marriage is not for
    everyone and that’s a good thing. In fact, some 55
    percent of adults in the 2017 census said that marriage
    is not necessary for a happy life. Houtz can also talk
    about the remarkable life she has led by being proudly
    single and child-free. That life has included dating
    older men, carrying a 9mm gun and busting drug dealers.

    10. ==> Great Oscar Show: Why Women Directors Are
    Snubbed

    The Feb. 24 Academy Awards will feature the usual glitz
    and razzle-dazzle. But noticeably absent are
    nominations for female directors. This is especially
    irksome to author and director/filmmaker Kailin Gow.
    “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,” she says. “But what’s
    fascinating is that when I did my research, I found 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 will discuss how women can
    break through the glass ceiling in this and other male-
    dominated industries. She is the founder of Sparklesoup
    Inc., an internationally recognized, multi-award-
    winning bestselling author who has sold over 5.5
    million books, and a director/filmmaker. Contact her at

    employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
    commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
    and hear his incredible story of perseverance and grit.
    His warning to your audience is this – If it can happen

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

    Mention the IRS and millions of Americans get fearful
