1. ==> What Trump Doesn’t Understand about Anti-
Semitism
After this weekend’s shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue
President Trump commented that ‘you wouldn’t believe’
anti-Semitism could still be going on. Jeffrey Herf
says clearly Trump doesn’t actually understand the
nature of anti-Semitism. “You ‘wouldn’t believe’ it
only if you were clueless about the history and the
contemporary reality of hatred for Jews. It is an odd
cluelessness for a man who declares himself a great
friend of Israel and has three Jewish grandchildren.”
He adds, “Trump’s contribution to the revival of anti-
Semitism in American politics lies in his penchant for
conspiracy theories — evident, for example, in the
disgusting closing commercial of his 2016 campaign. It
included dark insinuations about global forces, with
photos of prominent Jewish figures. That commercial was
an unambiguous and obvious appeal to anti-Semitism. If
Nazi propagandists had seen it, they might have
considered it an update of some of their own posters.”
Jeffrey Herf is distinguished university professor of
history at the University of Maryland. His books
include “The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda During World
War II and the Holocaust.” Contact him at (301)

2. ==> Surviving the New Age of Hate Crimes
The mass shooting at the synagogue in Pittsburgh and
the shooting of two black people at the Kroger in
Jefferson, Ky., are but the latest in a series of hate
crimes that have left many people feeling helpless.
During such times, Ellen Korman Mains, daughter of
Holocaust survivors, says, there is an alternative to
getting depressed—or worse—lashing out in anger with
more hate. She’ll explain how we can put our emotional
reactions to better use by tapping into the feelings
just beneath the anger or helplessness to connect with
what makes us truly human; this is where the potential
for change really lies. Ellen can share three ways to
contribute to positive change in the world and in
ourselves. Ellen is a Buddhist who has spent ten years
exploring her own family history of violence. Her
Amazon bestselling memoir is “Buried Rivers: A
Spiritual Journey into the Holocaust.” Reach her at

3. ==> Interview Phil Keoghan, New Nat Geo Host
National Geographic’s critically acclaimed documentary

personality Phil Keoghan. The first episode features
Keoghan in Nicaragua as he heads deep into the highly
active Masaya volcano to see firsthand the early-
warning sensors volcanologists have in place to warn of
impending activity. For this volcano, located a little
more than 12 miles south of the capital Managua, the
chance of an eruption is not if, but when. Keoghan is
best known as the host and executive producer of CBS’
The Amazing Race. He has won 10 Primetime Emmy awards

4. ==> Halloween 101 for Parents
What foods should you give your children before they go
trick-or-treating so they don’t fill up on candy? Is it
better to purchase candy made with sugar or corn syrup?
Learn the answers to those questions and more when you
interview wellness expert Adita Yrizarry-Lang. For
parents who want to take a healthier approach to
Halloween, she’ll share the unique way she has
“trained” her 8- and 12-year-old to handle the holiday,
tips for starting your own young kids off right and why
you should think twice before bringing your kids’
trick-or-treat booty to work or diving into it
yourself. Adita is a 30-year wellness educator who has
been quoted in Shape and Fitness. She is the author of
“SuperPowers, A Busy Woman’s Guide to Health and
Happiness.” Reach her at (305) 794-6505;

5. ==> Should Parents Restrict Kids’ Halloween Candy
Consumption?
Trick-or-Treat means bags full of candy that are not
only tempting to children but also to their parents who
sneak sugary treats from their children’s stash. Candy
carries a triple whammy: cavities, weight gain, and
empty calories. Let Sora Vernikoff help you figure out
what to do with all that candy. Should you let your
kids eat all the candy they want? Should you restrict
access to it? Sora will explain what is best. She’ll
also teach her Green technique parents and kids can use
to stop themselves from eating too much candy. Sora has
taught her program under the auspices of a leading New
York City endocrinologist as well as at the Learning
Annex and Lennox Hill Hospital. She lost 25 pounds and
has kept them off for decades and has helped hundreds
of people discover the secret for knowing when to stop
eating. She is the author of “Eat Want You Want! Stop
When You Want!” Reach her at (212) 464-8590;

6. ==> Why You Should Embrace the Fear this Halloween
In this season of fright and fear, you might wonder why
people willingly embrace fear? But Dr. Dee Carroll says
everyone should! “By facing our fears instead of
running from them, we can not only minimize them but
strengthen ourselves to face, and overcome, even bigger
challenges. Through this refining process, we not only
become clearer about our goals in life but also
emotionally stronger and better equipped to handle
whatever life sends our way.” Dr. Carroll can discuss
why you should welcome fear, how to use negative
emotions to your advantage and how to use adversity as
a catalyst for success. Dr. Dee Carroll has used huge
emotional and financial difficulties in her own life to
propel herself toward success and to help others
overcome their own challenges. A speaker, coach and
consultant with degrees in psychology and business
administration and management, Dr. Dee has testified
before the U.S. Senate Committee on Housing and Urban
Affairs and has been featured on CNN, Fortune 500, News
Talk 1450 AM, WOLB AM News Radio, and other media
nationwide. “Emotional Emancipation: Step into Your
Freedom, Reinvent Your Challenges and Move Beyond” is
her new book. Contact her at (301) 587-0700;

7. ==> Listen to These Twilight Zone Stories That
Really Happened
Daredevil David Arnold cheats death every day as an
airborne cameraman for big television shows. But he’s
had other brushes with death too that can only be
described as paranormal. For Halloween, he’ll tell real
ghost stories that will give you goosebumps. For
instance, how and why a murder victim contacted him
from the other side before anyone even knew he was
dead. How his deceased mother contacted a woman she
didn’t even know to send him a message and managed to
answer a question only she would know. And how a week
after his best friend died that friend was able to pass
along information that helped David win custody of his
son. David is the author of “Help from Above: How I
Went from Sweeping the Floor to Painting the Sky” and
his latest, “Help from Above Book 2: What Lies Above
the Clouds.” Neither book is about ghosts per se but
each contains real-life adventure stories. Reach him at

8. ==> What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You
As Halloween approaches do our nightmares increase? Are
there really valuable intuitive messages in our
nightmares? Intuitive expert and spiritual psychic Nora
Truscello reveals that nightmares are actually good for
us. Behind nightmares and those sexually charged dreams
nobody wants to wake from, are intuitive messages meant
to assist you? Invite her to reveal the hidden secrets
behind our dreams and how much control we have over
what we dream, if we even dream at all. Her latest
book, The Science of Intuition, reveals techniques
designed to make intuition an accessible,
understandable, everyday occurrence. Truscello has been
featured by various radio shows. Contact her at (302)

9. ==> This Priest Helps Lost Souls Cross Over
Over the past 20 years, Nathan G. Castle, OP, says he
has helped at least 250 people who died suddenly adjust
to the afterlife. Victims of fires, automobile
accidents, shootings, stabbings and drownings come to
him in his dreams seeking help for resolving their
Interrupted Death Experiences™. Father Nathan has come
to believe that providing this help is something the
Holy Spirit has given him to do. He’ll describe the
unusual work he does with people who were conscious and
healthy one moment and dead the next. “It can be a huge
shock to the system and people can shut down,” he says.
He is quick to point out that not everyone who dies
suddenly gets stuck. Ask him: How does he help people
cross over? How did he assist Patrick Swayze’s deceased
sister? Do deceased relatives help us adjust to moving
through our own deaths? Nathan Castle has been a
Catholic priest of the semi-contemplative Dominican
Order since 1979. His new book is “Afterlife,
Interrupted: Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over.” Contact
him at (480) 650-5592; nathancastleop@gmail.com
10. ==> She Takes the Scary out of Starting Your Own
Business
Owning and running your own business can be just as
scary as confronting a ghost or zombie. But while small
business owners don’t have to deal with the Wolfman or
Frankenstein they do have to confront monsters of their
own making: their own fears and doubts. Speaking with
the authority gained from 30 years’ experience in
launching, running and growing profitable businesses,
Fabi Preslar can talk about ways the fear of failure
can be paralyzing and facing it can be empowering and
share lessons she learned from her own missteps. Fear
and failure are two of the F words detailed in her new
book, “Fabulous F Words of Business Ownership:
Redefining Choice Words to Fuel Your Small Business.”
Fabi (Fay-Bee) is president of SPARK Publications, the
Charlotte Business Journal’s 2018 First-Generation
Family Business of the Year. Reach her at (704)

11. ==> How Many Sexopaths Have Been in the White
House?
The #MeToo movement has demonstrated that sociopathic
sex addicts—also known as sexopaths—are frequently
found in positions of power. But how many sexopaths
have been in the White House? Using her Sexopath
Spotting Tool, Nicole Kelly, M.D., will discuss the
current and former White House occupants and whether
they qualify. She can also answer such questions as
what is the definition of a sexopath? Does being a
sexopath or sociopath make you more successful? Why
are sexopaths attracted to power? Kelly is a board-
certified physician who was victimized by a sociopathic
sex addict who embezzled over $700,000 from her medical
practice. Her book “Charming Cheaters: Protect Yourself
from the Sociopaths, Psychopaths, and Sexopaths in Your
Life” comes out in November. Reach her at (615)

12. ==> Why Changing the Clocks Won’t Give You an Extra
Hour of Sleep
On November 4th, Americans turn their clocks back one
hour, reverting to standard time, when the sun rises
and sets an hour “earlier” than it did during Daylight
Savings Time. While this may seem like an extra hour of
sleep, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith says, it’s not going to
recharge your battery and make you feel better rested
than before. Dr. Saundra says the quality of a night’s
rest doesn’t depend on the hours slept, but on the rest
we get during our waking hours: specifically, seven
types of rest that help us sleep more soundly, and live
more richly, no matter what time the sun rises or sets.
Dr. Saundra will reveal many aspects of sleep hygiene
that are rarely discussed. Her advice and expertise has
been featured in Woman’s Day and Prevention magazines.

13. ==> Do a Show on Phobias and How to Get Rid of Them
Fear of heights, flying, spiders, mice, snakes. These
are just a few of the common phobias people have. Then
there are many more unusual ones like fear of death,
clowns, dogs, elevators, public speaking and thunder
storms. Ed Kuiper, author, speaker and self-healing
teacher will teach your audience how to discover what’s
really behind their irrational fears and how to heal
themselves naturally … many times ON THE AIR! As an
officer of two major life insurance companies and
founder and CEO of several national companies, Ed spent

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

requirement for many employers. Interview Dr. Don

at least five reasons why she is a real-life version of

themselves. With decades of experience on the open-mic

17. ==> Transform Stress into Success in Just 5 Minutes
In September 2015, John J. Fenton was fortunate to
survive the ultimate wake-up call. It came in the form
of an emergency heart catheterization in which his
heart stopped. Luckily, Fenton not only survived, but
figured out a way to view his worst day as his best day
because it helped him to discover what he really wanted
to do with his life: to spend more time with his wife
and daughter and to touch the lives of more people. The
former college football player and former managing
partner of a CPA firm found a new calling—helping other
busy executives and CEOs to live their lives by design
and without sacrificing what is most important to them.
Fenton has set down all the lessons he learned so that
others can master them without having to undergo a
health emergency in his new book “5 Minute Mastery.”

In her 20-year career as a counselor working with

special needs students, Norma Nikutowski learned a
universal truth: everyone has the capacity for
happiness, it’s just a matter of turning it on and

delve into what happiness is, the detours people take
in trying to achieve it, the role positive thinking
plays in happiness, the habits of happy people and much
more. She’ll share ways to immediately change your

why instead of complaining about what you dislike, you
should focus on and enjoy everything that is working in
your life. Norma Nikutowski has spent several decades
counseling patients with anxiety and depression to

When he purchased a metal fabrication business in the
heartland of America, Ken Yager never expected what
would happen next. He not only lost the company but

degree in management and to find a new life purpose:
helping companies in similar situations to the one that
cost him everything he held dear. This experienced TV

last payroll and see everything you worked for years

20. ==> How to Love Yourself More after You’ve Hit Rock
Bottom
Life is full of experiences that shape us as
individuals and change who we are. Rather than breaking
us, traumatic experiences can make us stronger and more
beautiful than ever. Rani St. Pucchi, best known as a
trend-setting fashion designer for 30+ years, developed
the philosophy after dressing more than 20,000 women in
her career. “We are all broken and every break has left
a wound,” St. Pucchi says. “Every wrinkle is a roadmap
of our life journey, every scar a solemn decoration. It
is up to us to stay broken or gather our pieces and
choose to become whole again.” Rani St. Pucchi is an
empowerment coach, inspirational speaker, bestselling
author, an award-winning fashion designer and president
of St. Pucchi, the internationally acclaimed bridal
