3. ==> Today is the 10th Anniversary of Michael
Jackson’s Death

It’s the 10th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s passing
from an overdose of the powerful anesthetics propofol
and benzodiazepine. As you will recall, Jackson was
preparing for a massive comeback tour and had
difficulty sleeping. Michael E. Platt, M.D.,
internationally known for his innovative approach to
treating the cause of illness, will reveal the
surprising reason that likely led to Jackson’s chronic
insomnia and why creative people are more likely to
suffer from it. He’ll also share ways that Jackson
could have turned the situation around within 24 hours

4. ==> 5 Fun Summer Date Ideas

Love is in the air this summer, and you have enough
days left to embrace the glorious sunshine with a
thoughtful and romantic day out. Whether you’re getting
intimate on a summer’s evening or exploring the local
theme park, there are plenty of activities to get your

5. ==> What You Eat Before Bed Matters: Nightfood Ice
Cream

When do you head to the freezer for a bowl of ice
cream? If you’re like the majority of Americans, it’s
probably right before bed. So wouldn’t it be great if
you could make your pre-sleep treat better for you?
That’s the concept behind Nightfood, a sleep-friendly
nighttime ice cream specially formulated by sleep and
nutrition experts. Invite Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson to
explain what’s so special about this ice cream, what’s
in it and what’s not, and how the company started.
He’ll also discuss a new partnership with rock star
Michael Clifford, lead guitarist for the band, 5
Seconds of Summer that includes developing a limited-
edition, custom flavor for the chocolate-loving
Clifford. After manufacturing their first pint in early
2019, Nightfood ice cream is in the process of rolling
out in the Midwest, Carolinas and Virginia. Contact Tim
Sullivan at media@Nightfood.com; (732) 816-0239.

6. ==> The Market is Hot: Should You Sell Your Home?

In the world of real estate, we’re in a seller’s
market, so is it time to put your house up for sale?
What if you’re nearing retirement? “That depends,” says
financial planner Penelope Tzougros. “You may get more
money for your property now, but what will you do with
that money and where will you live?” Penelope will
explain why net profit isn’t the most important
consideration in selling your home no matter what your
age, and reveal the most critical questions to ask
before making the transition. Penelope says the key to
making the right decision is having a game plan.
“People don’t understand the cost of running their
lifestyle. A new residence has its own demands and
joys, but how you want to spend money every day is
likely to be predictable. Can you afford your lifestyle
and your new residence? If you are near or in
retirement these are critical questions that can
enhance or diminish your retirement.” Penelope
Tzougros, PhD, ChFC, CLU, is a seasoned media pro. She
created and hosted the Boston TV show Money Matters as
well as a radio show that aired for 7 years. “Your Home
Sweet Home: How to Decide Whether You Should Stay or
Move in Retirement” is her latest book. Contact

7. ==> New Grads: How Your Name Can Determine Your
Career Path

So you just graduated from college and are ready to
launch an exciting career. According to B.P.
Greycastle, a Name Colorology expert, it’s not enough
to have impressive academic achievements under your

great impact on achieving success in our lives,” he
says. He can tell job seekers how to impress
prospective employers during job interviews by
revealing exactly what to wear and say on the basis of
the employer’s name. He can also supply testimonials
from those he helped land great careers. “I can show
with a tremendous amount of evidence, facts and figures
that our color-coded names are the number one factor in
determining our careers, with lists of the most
successful people in over 40 major career fields who
became successful because of their names.” B.P. is the

Career, Personality, Romance and Success.” Contact him

8. ==> Great Graduation Advice from an Unlikely Source

When he was growing up in one of the worst housing
projects in Los Angeles, few people would have
predicted that Christopher L. Hall would be a role
model and inspiration. It was more likely that he would
end up like his father, who was in jail, or his
brother, a seven-time felon now serving a 1,300-year
sentence for attempted murder. Hall, who is now an ER
doctor in Mississippi, is living proof that poor kids
and kids in foster care and juvenile hall are not
destined for failure and low educational achievement.
He will share his powerful journey of how he went from
juvenile hall and sleeping in a box at a Carl’s Jr. to
dental school, medical school, and the military. His
story and that of his brother’s is detailed in his
memoir “Ward of the Court.” Contact Hall at (251)

11. ==> How to Connect with Your ‘Inner Genius’ for
Maximum Success

When it comes to achieving success and happiness in
life, most people focus on external factors and
circumstances such as skills, luck, hard work and
intelligence in an attempt to attain their goals. But
Intuition expert Kim Chestney claims that we are going
about this all wrong. “We all have an ‘Inner Genius’
which we can tap into by connecting with our most
valuable trait: intuition,” she says. “This a
revolutionary inner power. But it is not just for the
elite few; it’s the birthright of each and every one of
us.” Kim can illustrate with astonishing accuracy how
people like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey, who began
life as everyday people, utilized this trait to become
wildly successful. Kim can also share with audiences
how to tap into this innate trait, with life-changing
results. She is an international best-selling author
and Intuition expert who founded the popular CREATE!
Festival in Pittsburgh, Pa. Her new global online
Intuition school, IntuitionLab is launching now.

12. ==> What’s Really Behind Last Night’s Nightmare

From terrifying nightmares to ridiculous romps with
crazy characters and bizarre locations, your nightly
adventures aren’t random at all. They reveal a lot
about what’s going on in your life, but deciphering
them can be confusing, to say the least. Dream analyst
Layne Dalfen says your dreams are actually
conversations you have with yourself about specific
current issues in your life. She says, “The solution
you’re looking for about what (or who) in your life is
bugging you this week will appear in your unconscious
mind before it gets to your conscious. Dream analysis
gives you the power to decide how you want to respond
to people and situations in your life.” Dalfen will
teach listeners a step-by-step method to decode those
dreams and use the knowledge to help make decisions and
deal with difficult situations. Layne Dalfen teaches
dream analysis to the counselling students at Concordia
University in Montreal. She’s appeared on hundreds of
radio shows and podcasts and loves call-in programs
because she is terrific at thinking on her feet and
knows how to have fun with listeners. Contact her at

13. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

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

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

Stress really can kill you. According to Steven M.
Hall, M.D., “Fifty percent of the U.S. population is
experiencing one or more stress-related diseases. What
society is doing to mitigate the adverse health effects
of stress isn’t working.” Dr. Steven has discovered a
solution to enable us to become impervious to the
stressors in our lives. And it does not involve
repressing any emotions; quite the opposite. His online
class Taming the Bear: Taking the Bite Out of Stress is
having phenomenal success in people’s lives, and he can
share how to get off of the vicious stress cycle, for
good. Dr. Steven has been practicing family medicine
since 1985. He is the author of The 7 Tools of Healing:
Unlock Your Inner Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul
Desires. Contact Steven at shall@rtirguests.com; (425)

15. ==> Keeping Beds Dry Every Night

Does your child or teen do it — even once in a while?
Are older family members also prone to wetting the bed?
Find out more about this common condition that can be
treated, when you interview sought-after speaker Jeff
Lazarus, M.D. He will discuss his comprehensive home
video program “Keeping the Bed Dry,” which incorporates
medical hypnosis for anyone hoping to finally awaken to
a dry bed. Invite this acclaimed physician to answer
questions like: How does hypnosis work so well to help
keep beds dry? What other advice does he offer for
lifestyle and behavior? What should parents, teachers,
coaches and health professionals know? Why do so many
doctors avoid the issue? Do adult diapers only make
things worse? Contact Dr. Lazarus at (216) 202-3112;
jlazarusmd@rtirguests.com

16. ==> Put The Clothes Back on Your Audience — And
Become a Better Speaker

You’re in front of a group, with key info to share, but
you need to get over your own nerves and apprehension.
First of all — you do NOT need to imagine your
audience naked! That old chestnut never works. You’ll
want your presentation, confidence and message to wow
everyone instead. So says communications and leadership
expert Jill Jaysen who will reveal on your show how
we’ve all been mis-taught when it comes to public
speaking, and what really makes a dynamite presentation
for winning big. Watch ratings climb when Jaysen
shares: Why gimmicks like “practice at a mirror” and
“videotape yourself” only risk creating mediocre
speakers who zap their own innate charisma. How the
speech truly starts long before you reach the podium.
Plus amazing truths about NLP for enhancing your
speaking prowess. And how to prevent the biggest
speaking turn-offs. Contact Jill Jaysen at (203)

17. ==> What it Takes to Have a ‘Perfect School’

Every September kindergartners start school and love
it. So why is it that every year after that more and
more students hate school – until high school when only
a few are left who actually love coming to school and
love learning? This problem is easier to fix than you
think! “There are so many ways to create a perfect
school,” says Lee Jenkins, a career educator with a
passion for improving student learning in school.
“From giving students choice in how to do homework to
creating a team feel in every classroom, where they are
more interested in outperforming their own best work
instead of competing with each other… it works! And it
works FAST!” In fact, teachers using Lee’s method are
seeing an increase in classroom learning by six times
the national average! The key is for students to be in
an environment where they both work hard and love their
learning. Lee Jenkins is the author of “How to Create a
Perfect School,” (June 2019), and while he speaks
primarily to educators his message to parents is
essential. He has been an educator and administrator
both in public schools and universities. Contact Lee
Jenkins at (484) 306-8784; LJenkins@rtirguests.com

18. ==> Why Do So Many Young People Hate Themselves?

Parenting expert Emily Slingluff tackles some of the
toughest questions being asked today by thoughtful
persons everywhere: Why do many young people hate
themselves? Why do so many choose to be unkind, to
commit violence and break laws? Why would a six-year-
old choose to be a bully? Emily has been writing about
parenting topics for 30 years and has identified what
she says is the real cause of the hatred and mass
shootings that are plaguing our country and their
simple solution! Her newest book is “Choosing
Happiness.” She was named Fulltime Homemaker of the
Year for the State of Virginia by Phyllis Schlafly and
Eagle Forum shortly after her first book came out. She
is a graduate of Sweet Briar College with a degree in
government and economics and was an assistant editor at
The Virginia-Pilot. Contact her at (757) 800-0246;

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

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

20. ==> Help Kids Find their Star Power

Just as the bestseller “Rainbow Fish” helped children
in the 1990s to realize that their differences made
them special, another children’s book is having a
similar effect on children growing up today. Parents
and teachers have reported that Kari Faarup’s “Starlina
& the Magic of Believing in Yourself, “helps children
in preschool and elementary school gain confidence and
believe they are stars even if they are being teased or
bullied. Invite Kari on your show and hear her
inspiration for the book and ways to cultivate a

1. ==> How Should Dems Prepare for the Debates?

Next Wednesday and Thursday a whopping 20 Democratic
candidates for president will take the stage. How will
anyone stand out? Communication expert Paul Hellman
will explain how the candidates should prepare–both
their content and their presence–what to look for in
the opening seconds, and what viewers can learn about
standing out in high-stakes moments. Invite Hellman
back after the debates to discuss the winners and
losers and his advice for the next go-round. Paul

Amazon best seller. Contact him at (508) 276-7013;
phellman@rtirguests.com

2. ==> U.S. Suicide Epidemic: It’s Hitting Trump’s Base
Hard

A suicide occurs in the United States roughly once
every 12 minutes yet the public health crisis is barely
mentioned in the media or in politics unless a
celebrity is involved. Political scientist Rajan Menon
says after decades of decline, the suicide rate began
increasing sharply in the 1990s and has had an
inordinate impact on white workers. He writes: “This
surge in the suicide rate has taken place in years
during which the working class has experienced greater
economic hardship and psychological stress. …
Technological change, including computerization,
robotics, and the coming of artificial intelligence,
has similarly begun to displace labor in significant
ways, Americans without college degrees, especially
those 50 and older, in far more difficult straits when
it comes to finding new jobs that pay well.” Menon is
professor of international relations at the City
College of New York, and senior research fellow at
Columbia University. He is the author, most recently,
of “The Conceit of Humanitarian Intervention” and just
wrote the piece “America’s Suicide Epidemic: It’s
Hitting Trump’s Base Hard” for TomDispatch. Contact him
at rmenonnyc@gmail.com

3. ==> Before Stonewall – America’s Early LGBT
Community

In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, the police
raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City’s
Greenwich Village, leading to three nights of rioting
by the city’s LGBT community. With this outpouring of
courage and unity the gay liberation movement had
begun. With the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots
later this month, the 1984 documentary ‘Before
Stonewall: The Making of a Gay and Lesbian Community’
is being re-released. The film offers a potent reminder
of what life was like for LGBT people before that
extraordinary event and features eye-opening historical
footage and interviews with those who lived through an
often brutal closeted history in America from the 1900s
on. ‘Before Stonewall’ was produced by Robert
Rosenberg, John Scagliotti and Greta Schiiller. All
three have gone on over the past three decades to
continue their groundbreaking work in LGBT film.

4. ==> 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11

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

5. ==> The Growing Attack on America’s Beef Industry

Most Americans are unaware of the ongoing assault on
the American beef industry—and their personal dietary
choices—led by such entities as the World Wildlife
Fund, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the United
Nations Environment Program. So says Tom DeWeese,
president of the American Policy Center, a grassroots
action and education foundation dedicated to the
promotion of free enterprise and limited government
regulations over commerce and individuals. DeWeese says
that while their stated goal is to produce a better
grade of beef, their true intention is to ban beef
altogether. Surprisingly, he adds, the National
Cattlemen’s Beef Association is allowing this to
happen. “The reality is it’s not going to go away
because the goal is not environmental protection,
rather the destruction of their industry and control
through what the U.N. calls the reorganization of human
society.” Tom DeWeese is a speaker and property rights
advocate who has debated at Cambridge University. He is
the author of many books including, “Sustainable: The
WAR on Free Enterprise, Private Property and
Individuals.” DeWeese has been featured by Fox News,
the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the
Washington Post and other media nationwide. Contact him

6. ==> Tuesday is the 10th Anniversary of Michael
Jackson’s Death

We are approaching the 10th anniversary of Michael
Jackson’s passing from an overdose of the powerful
anesthetics propofol and benzodiazepine. As you will
recall, Jackson was preparing for a massive comeback
tour and had difficulty sleeping. Michael E. Platt,
M.D., internationally known for his innovative approach
to treating the cause of illness, will reveal the
surprising reason that likely led to Jackson’s chronic
insomnia and why creative people are more likely to
suffer from it. He’ll also share ways that Jackson
could have turned the situation around within 24 hours
through the addition of two nutrients used in

7. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

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

9. ==> July 4th – Declare Independence from Drug
Companies

The Fourth of July holiday is, of course, about
independence from tyranny. While the colonists had to
worry about the British levying taxes on their tea,
today’s Americans are being held hostage by
skyrocketing drug prices. April Schulte, a doctor of
acupuncture and Oriental medicine, will show your
listeners how they can take back their power. Schulte
will explain how to save money and help prevent the
health-care system’s demise by ending reliance on
pharmaceuticals, why no one knows your body better than
you, not even your doctor, and how to recognize your
body’s clues about your health. April Schulte, DAOM,

10. ==> Been-There Psychotherapist: You Can Conquer
Anxiety

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

11. ==> What Most Real Estate Investors Get Wrong

A lot of people who go into the complex world of real
estate investing are convinced that they can get the
most bang for their buck by buying, renovating and then
selling properties, a process known as flipping. But
long-time real estate and property renovation expert
Dan Lieberman claims that this is not a recipe for
success. “You take on a lot of risk if housing prices
go down,” he says. “That’s why it’s a good idea to get
into the rental market. With rentals, you have ongoing
income, even in a bad real estate market.” Dan has many
years of experience successfully developing rental
properties. He can share the secrets to developing
rental properties, getting the best rent and attracting
the nicest tenants so that you have a great source of
ongoing income. Dan Lieberman is the author of “The

to Howard Stern to many of your own colleagues and
friends) who meditate daily? How will this benefit you

15. ==> Earthing: The Health Benefits of Going
Barefoot!

Can you remember the last time you: Ran barefoot
through a field? Slipped off your sandals and got sand
between your toes? Dipped your toes in some warm, soft
mud? This activity is known as “earthing” and, believe
it or not, it has powerful health benefits, says
Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C., IFMCP. “Earthing works by
connecting you to the healing energies of the ground,
thereby neutralizing free radicals and reducing chronic
inflammation in the body,” she explains. “It sounds a
bit farfetched, but it works.” Invite Dr. Nathalie on
your show and learn how something as simple as kicking
off your shoes can lead to improved sleep, reduced
inflammation and chronic pain, reduced stress, improved
energy and a greater feeling of well-being. You may
also be surprised to learn that spending some time in
the sun and mindfully barbecuing this summer are
actually fun ways to add to your well-being. Dr.
Nathalie is an Ottawa-based doctor of chiropractic and
certified functional medicine practitioner with the
Institute of Functional Medicine. The founder of the
“What The Hack?! Podcast,” Dr. Nathalie has appeared on

16. ==> Mom, Are You Setting a Bad Example?

Mothers encourage their children to pursue their
passions, but do they model this behavior to their
kids? What message does it send when moms always make
sacrifices for everyone in the family and ignore their
own dreams? What better way to teach children to reach
for what they want in life than to show them what that
looks like! Invite children’s author Rosie J. Pova to
share small, simple ways to indulge yourself without
feeling guilty, why making sure you regularly recharge
helps you to help your children, and why doing things
just for yourself isn’t selfish. She is the author of
several children’s books including her latest, Sarah’s
Song. Pova has been featured on radio and in print.

17. ==> Why Not Relaxing This Summer Can Land You Flat
on Your Back

Summer is supposed to be the time to unwind, but most
Americans fill it to the brim with activities which
have the complete opposite effect. The stress they
create for themselves and their families manifests
itself in back and bodily pain that can put them flat
on their back. Noted spine surgeon David Hanscom, M.D.,
will explain the connection between summer chaos and
physical pain, while revealing how stress and anxiety
are at the core of most of our problems. The author of
“Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic
Pain” will show audiences how to cure themselves and
avoid costly trips to the doctor and pharmacy.
Presenting research-based evidence and information
about the direct connection between stress, anxiety and
physical pain in both adults and children, he’ll also
explore how anxiety has led to drug abuse, gratuitous
surgeries and just plain bad-doctoring. An in-demand
speaker and talk-show guest, including The Dr. Oz Show,
Hanscom will change the way you view summer activities
and get your audience back on track to really enjoy the
season. Contact him dhanscom@rtirguests.com; (206)

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

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

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

maturity, use what we have learned, do what we want to
and have some fun!” Sandra is the author of the

woman who persevered through 19 years of negative body
image and diet setbacks, but kept her sense of humor
and came out on top. Mary T. Prenon, author of “I’m
Lazy and I Love to Eat,” finally discovered that
laughter really is the best medicine for everything –

like joining a “diet center” sandwiched in between a
pastry shop and fast food restaurant! When her
cardiologist told her she was “heavy,” she jokingly
plotted to kidnap him and stuff him with junk food!

laugh at herself, turn a bad mood into something
positive, and get motivated. Hear how she used humor to
transform workouts, make healthier food choices and get
in shape – at age 61! Mary works full-time and is all

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

1. ==> The Poor People’s Campaign Goes to Washington

The Poor People’s Campaign is organizing a series of
actions in Washington, D.C. over the next week
including a presidential candidates forum. Campaign co-
chairs Rev. Graylan S. Hagler and Rev. William Barber
explain the national call for moral revival. “Three
years ago, even before the Trump administration, we
went all across this country to more than 30 states,
invited by persons who said it’s time for us to have a
moral fusion movement, to say that we can challenge
these five interlocking injustices: systemic racism,
systemic poverty, ecological devastation, a war economy
and the false moral narrative of religious
nationalism.” Hagler is senior pastor at the Plymouth
Congregational United Church of Christ in Washington,
D.C. At last year’s actions by the Poor People’s
Campaign, Rev. Hagler was arrested at a protest for
voting rights. His passport was taken away and he’s had
to report to authorities weekly ever since. Contact
Rev. Hagler at gshagler@verizon.net, @graylanhagler,
@UniteThePoor

2. ==> It’s a Real Problem: Detecting Deepfake Videos

Lawmakers are concerned that deepfake videos could be
used to influence the 2020 election and now the U.S.
government is working to create technology to detect
them. Hany Farid teaches at UC Berkeley and is an
expert in digital forensics. He is working with the
Defense Department’s research program DARPA where
researchers have been downloading hours and hours of
video of the 2020 candidates to build a system that
recognizes how they move when they talk. He calls it
fingerprinting. “We are going to get to a point where
you are not going to be able to visually be able to
distinguish fake videos and we sort of wanted to get
out ahead, before we get to that point.” Hany hopes to
have all the candidates’ fingerprinted by 2020 so news
outlets and others can check questionable videos for
authenticity. Contact him at
hfarid@ischool.berkeley.edu; (510) 664-4438

3. ==> How to Celebrate Dad: Last Minute Father’s Day
Ideas

Did you forget that Sunday is Father’s Day? Are you
stumped about how to spend the day with dad? You can go
out to dinner or have the usual backyard BBQ, but why
not celebrate ALL the fathers in your life with an old-
fashioned Father’s Day family gathering! Invite wedding
and event specialist Lynne Goldberg to share tips for
creating a last-minute multi-generational event that
everyone will enjoy, especially Dad. “I suggest
inviting 3 or 4 families and their extended families,
depending on how large they are,” she says. “Then ask
each family to bring one of their dad’s favorite dishes
and name it, like Manny’s Marvelous Meatballs or Pop’s
Put the Fire Out Chili. You can even create hilarious
contests, silly competitions and trivia games that
allow younger generations to learn a little more about
Dad, Grandpa and Uncle Joe.” 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 featured in the New York
Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post and Wall Street
Journal. Contact her at (561) 212-6024;
Lynneggoldberg@gmail.com

4. ==> What Dad Needs: Some Serious Self-Love

Mention the concept of self-love and guys will snicker,
their juvenile sense of humor trying to deflect their
discomfort at the idea that loving yourself is in any
way masculine. “Most men have been raised to push their
emotions down and those who are sensitive are told to
‘man up’ and ‘grow a pair.’ It’s not surprising men
don’t embrace the idea of self-love,” says personal
growth expert and author Joffre McClung. “Women are
much more open to the concept, but men may actually
need it more.” McClung will share 5 easy things dads
can do to start or deepen their personal growth
journey, which she says everyone in the family should
support. “From opening up to their emotions to
separating their worth from their jobs, when men love
and support themselves they have more empathy and
compassion, which ripples outward into society.” 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’s latest book is “The
Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at (917) 994-0225
(TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com

5. ==> This Father’s Day, Take a Dad-less Boy Under
Your Wing

As a divorced dad to two young boys, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows how important it is for boys to have
male role models. Since 81 percent of all single parent
households are headed by moms, he sees a real need for
men to get involved with the young males in their
communities. “There is a severe fatherhood deficit in
our society,” he says. “I see young kids out on the
street, doing drugs because nine times out of 10, their
fathers are absent.” Eric can share what men can do to
mentor the young boys in their communities, and how
this benefits society as a whole. “We need more
interaction between the church, the YMCA and other
programs through which men can help them to learn
manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and
help to keep boys out of trouble.” Pastor 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 (214) 225-0769; EHawthorne@rtirguests.com

6. ==> Father’s Day Show – It’s OK to Dump Negative
Parents

We all have them – those parents, friends and relations
who do nothing but criticize, complain about anything
and everything and make us feel small and undeserving.
Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity,
start a dialog and if that doesn’t work, take a break
or walk away from that relationship. Annie Evans
believes that if you don’t deal with them, there’s a
really good chance you’ll turn out just like them.
Evans personally knows how negativity breeds
negativity. Combined with some serious life challenges,
she went on her own downward spiral. Being raised by a
severely mentally-ill mom and losing two life partners
is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans will share her
startling story, and help listeners learn real
strategies to change their mindsets, interactions and
take charge of their attitudes. Contact her at
aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.

7. ==> Could You Forgive Your Abusive Dad?

If your dad belittled or hit you could you forgive him?
Should you? For many people, this is not an academic
question. It isn’t for Dr. Jeanne Sanner, whose father
often hit her with a strap and verbally abused her. But
as a grownup, she is at peace with her father and
herself. Invite her on air to explain why people like
her father approach life with fear and how knowing that
changed her perception of him and led her to stop
condemning him. For others in your audience who are
having forgiveness issues, Jeanne can share a simple
formula she created that has already helped hundreds of
people change their beliefs to lead happier lives. She
is the author of “Finding Unconditional Love a Little
Peace at a Time.” Jeanne has a doctorate in spiritual
studies, a master’s in education and a bachelor’s in
psychology. Reach her at (949) 284-7788;

8. ==> Discover Why Global Travel is Safer Than You
Think

For some people, worries about crime and terrorism are
enough to rule out travel outside the U.S. And that’s a
shame, says internationally acclaimed travel expert
Chris Herrmann, who points out that when it comes to
being fearful many folks are their own worst enemy.
Chris can share the fears that nearly kept him back
from an amazing backpack trip he took around the world
at age 62 as well as ways to ensure that your own
international trip is as safe as possible. The author
of “The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel” has appeared on
TV, radio, and in print media across Australia. Reach

12. ==> It’s Weed Your Garden Day: Weed Your Garden,
Weed Your Life!

Here’s a twist on National Weed Your Garden Day –
created to encourage gardeners to spend a few extra
minutes each day weeding. Just 5 or 10 minutes keeps
weeds at bay and keeps you in control of your garden.
Jennifer Cochern, LCPC, will help your audience do the
same in their personal lives! “Weeding your garden can
also be seen as a metaphor for weeding your life. It’s
important to take time each day to remove people and
things, thoughts and habits from your life that no
longer serve you. When you water a garden, everything
grows – weeds and plants alike. What do you want
growing in your life? And what no longer serves you?
And, most importantly, how can you know the
difference!” Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is the author of
“Alignment: Move from Internal Chaos to Clarity.” She
has counseled hundreds of clients promoting personal
growth and healthier relationship skills. Contact
Jennifer at (208) 817-2870; JCochern@rtirguests.com

13. ==> What No One Tells New Grads about Jobs

With diplomas in hand, many college graduates are about
to begin the next step in their journey, the one that
leads to the workplace. But in most cases, they will be
taking that step without anyone having told them what
to expect, notes Jennifer P. Wisdom, Ph.D., a clinical
psychologist and consultant who spent two decades
working with students at Columbia University and George
Washington University. The author of “Millennials Guide
to Work” combines her own 30 years of work experience
with the coaching she has done with many millennials to

at work and how to handle them. Listeners will learn 6
rules of work every grad should know, how to deal with
temperamental bosses and gossipy coworkers, and the
proper way to use social media in the office. Jennifer
P. Wisdom’s diverse experience includes serving in the
U.S. military, working with nonprofit health-care
organizations, and teaching in higher education.

14. ==> New Grads: How Your Name Can Impact Your Career

Before Hearing from this Long-Married Expert

16. ==> Human Trafficking Activist: The Truth About At-
Risk Immigrants

As the immigration crisis continues to dominate the
news, there has been quite a lot of focus on the
possibility that human traffickers are exploiting many
asylum seekers. But according to Raleigh Sadler, a
Christian reverend and founder of the human trafficking
awareness group Let My People Go, the situation is far
more complicated and insidious. “Currently, most who
are trafficked come through legal points of entry,” he
reveals. “As we focus on those illegally crossing the
border, we miss the reality that many who are
undocumented and already in the U.S. are potential
targets of would-be traffickers.” In addition, human
trafficking is far more prevalent than the general
public realizes, and it can affect virtually any
community. He can share how we can stop this terrible
human rights abuse for good. Raleigh is the author of
“Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact him

Miserable to Mid-Life Magnificent

Madam Widow”, will help suddenly single women reinvent
their lives, sexuality, attitude and outlook.

a female alone at mid-life and does so with frankness

choice, they’ll learn why it’s more fun not to have a
mate in or out of the bedroom, and why they are the
only ones that can satisfy their needs. Webster is a
spitfire of a guest who wants provocative topics and
isn’t afraid to show the world that real women are
single, feisty and bad-a$$. She’s going to give
listeners a much-needed dose of reality, actual doable
solutions and real ways to kick-start the second, and
best part of their new lives. Contact her

18. ==> His Grandfather was the Prince of New York

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

=======================================
1. ==> The Climate Crisis/Migration Connection

The Nation columnist Ben Ehrenreich says racism and
fear dominate the immigration debate but the climate
crisis is one of the major factors spurring the
movements of human beings across borders. He writes,
“This is just the beginning—of the climate crisis, and
the political unravelings that will continue to
accompany it. In 2015 it took the arrival of fewer than
a million refugees, about half of them from Syria, to
push a continent of more than 700 million into a panic
that continues to threaten the European Union with
dissolution.” He adds, “And so, it is time to shout,
and loudly, that the freedom of all the earth’s people
to move across borders must be at the center of any
response to the climate crisis. Unless we do, racism
and fear—hidden as always in the guise of
‘security’—will give way to fascism and war.” Ben
Ehrenreich’s most recent book, “The Way to the Spring,”
is based on his reporting from the West Bank. Contact

3. ==> Yesterday: Why We Can’t Forget the Beatles

You’ve seen the trailers for writer-director Danny
Boyle’s upcoming musical comedy ‘Yesterday,’ a movie
about the only guy who remembers the Beatles. What
makes them so unforgettable? How did they change music
forever? Why are they still so relevant that a big
movie studio would make “Yesterday”? Will their legacy
go on forever even after people no longer remember The
Rolling Stones or The Who? Get the answers to these
questions and more with Susan Shumsky as your guest.
Susan regularly regales Beatles fans with fascinating
facts about the Fab Four’s “White Album” and their
lives in the 1960s. Susan spent 22 years living in the

4. ==> June 25 – 10th Anniversary of Michael Jackson’s
Death

As we approach the 10th anniversary of Michael
Jackson’s passing from an overdose of the powerful
anesthetics propofol and benzodiazepine, you will
recall the singer had been preparing for a massive
comeback tour and had difficulty sleeping. Michael E.
Platt, M.D., internationally known for his innovative
approach to treating the cause of illness, will reveal
the surprising reason that likely led to Jackson’s
chronic insomnia and why creative people are more
likely to suffer from it. He’ll also share ways Jackson
could have turned the situation around within 24 hours
by adding two nutrients in conjunction with a hormone
cream. But more than just providing interesting
information about a talented icon, Dr. Platt will
explain how listeners can learn from Jackson’s case to
improve their own well-being. Michael E. Platt is a
board-certified internist and the author of “Adrenaline
Dominance: A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness.” Dr.

5. ==> Dad Deserves a Party! Fun Father’s Day Ideas

You can go out to dinner or have the usual backyard
BBQ, but why not celebrate all the fathers in your life
with an old-fashioned Father’s Day family gathering!
Invite wedding and event specialist Lynne Goldberg to
share tips for creating a multi-generational event that
everyone will enjoy, especially Dad. “I suggest
inviting 3 or 4 families and their extended families,
depending on how large they are,” she says. “Then ask
each family to bring one of their dad’s favorite dishes
and name it, like Manny’s Marvelous Meatballs or Pop’s
Put the Fire Out Chili. You can even create hilarious
contests, silly competitions and trivia games that
allow younger generations to learn a little more about
Dad, Grandpa and Uncle Joe.” 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 featured in the New York
Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post and Wall Street
Journal. Contact her at (561) 212-6024;
Lynneggoldberg@gmail.com

6. ==> Muhammad Ali and Fatherhood

Fabled civil rights and sports icon Muhammad Ali—the
father of nine who died on June 3, 2016— coached one of
his daughters to an undefeated boxing career. But it
was not in-the-ring coaching in the typical way. It was
dad-to-daughter coaching that yielded stupendous
results! Nita Wiggins, a former boxing coach and judge,
can dissect the fun and inventive ways less famous dads
can perform like Ali. In addition to knowing the sport
that unified the Alis, Nita writes about her four days
as a journalist in Ali’s entourage in her new book,
“Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race, Sports, and
Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.” Contact her
at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

7. ==> Missing Dad? Undertaker’s Daughter Says He’s Not
Gone

Father’s Day is a very difficult time for those who
have lost their dads. But undertaker’s daughter Margo
Lenmark offers comfort. While growing up in a
Midwestern funeral home where her dad was an
undertaker, Margo learned a lot about life from her
dad, before and after he passed away. “I can share
fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
dead people, and the messages I received from them,”
she says. “I have a lot to say about death and gifts
people give when they die.” Margo can reveal her
journeys to the other side, experiences she had in
dreams and the important messages she received about
life from the deceased. She is the author of “Light in
the Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter.”

8. ==> How to Be the Father You Wish You Had

It’s natural to think about fatherhood as Father’s Day
approaches. For example, what does it mean to be a good
father today? How can men be great dads when their own
father left a lot to be desired? Find out when you
interview Wade Meadows, who triumphed over his own
abusive childhood that included a workaholic father to
be the father he wished he had for his two daughters.
Wade will explain how he broke the cycle of abuse that
plagued generations of his family and overcame his own
self-doubts to achieve a stable life for himself and
his family. A happy grandfather of eight, Wade is the
author of “Letters from the Ashes” and “Ashes Forged
into Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697;

9. ==> Get Ready for Democratic Debates

Suppose you were one of 20+ Democratic hopefuls. What
would you do to stand out from the pack? Whether it is
Bernie or Elizabeth, or Joe, Kamala or Pete, the answer
is going to be the same and communication expert Paul
Hellman has it. Book Paul now to reveal who handled the
opening seconds of the debate best, who delved into too
much detail, and who is likely to be remembered along
with past debaters for gaffs that could have been
avoided. He consults and speaks internationally on how
to make your point—so you get heard, get remembered and
get results. 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” a #1
Amazon best-seller in business communication. Contact
him at (508) 276-7013; phellman@rtirguests.com

10. ==> The Forgotten Lives of the Pro-Life/Abortion
Debate

As the U.S. has become bitterly divided by the current
changes to abortion laws, author Jane Jenkins Herlong
points out that one faction of society is being
completely over-looked in the discussion: elderly
people. “When it comes to sanctity of life, we really
need to focus on the elderly,” she says. “The extreme
abortion laws from New York to Alabama are vastly
different. This also affects the elderly, who are not
part of the current discussion.” Jane can discuss what
she learned from caring for her own elderly mom, and
why we need to take greater measures to protect the
elderly to ensure that they live the remainder of their
lives in safety, comfort and dignity. She is a former
Miss America contestant and the author of four books
including “Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops.” In addition,
she has recorded music CDs and personal growth and
comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her comedy is featured on
Sirius XM 97. Contact Jane at JHerlong@rtirguests.com;

11. ==> Weed Your Garden Day is Thursday: Weed Your
Garden, Weed Your Life!

12. ==> Spine Surgeon: Why Not Relaxing This Summer Can
Land You Flat on Your Back

Summer is supposed to be the time to unwind, but most
Americans fill it to the brim with activities that have
the complete opposite effect. The stress they create
for themselves and their families manifests itself in
back and bodily pain that can put them flat on their
back. Noted spine surgeon David Hanscom, M.D., will
explain the connection between summer chaos and
physical pain and reveal how stress and anxiety are at
the core of most of our problems. Dr. Hanscom, author
of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic
Pain” will show audiences how to cure themselves and
avoid costly trips to the doctor and pharmacy.
Presenting research-based evidence and information
about the direct connection between stress, anxiety and
physical pain in both adults and children, he’ll also
explore how anxiety has led to drug abuse, gratuitous
surgeries and just plain bad-doctoring. An in-demand
speaker and talk-show guest, including The Dr. Oz Show,
Dr. Hanscom will change the way you view summer
activities and get your listeners back on track to
enjoy the season. Contact him dhanscom@rtirguests.com;

13. ==> What Most Real Estate Investors Get Wrong

A lot of people who go into the complex world of real
estate investing are convinced they can get the most
bang for their buck by buying, renovating and then
selling properties, a process known as flipping. But
long-time real estate and property renovation expert
Dan Lieberman says this is not a recipe for success.
“You take on a lot of risk if housing prices go down,”
he says. “That’s why it’s a good idea to get into the
rental market. With rentals, you have ongoing income,
even in a bad real estate market.” Dan has many years
of experience successfully developing rental
properties. He’ll share the secrets to developing
rental properties, getting the best rent, and
attracting the nicest tenants so that you have a great
source of ongoing income. Dan is the author of “The
Effective Landlord: How Owners and Property Managers
Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise Rents, and Boost
Their Bottom Line in Any Market.” Contact him at

14. ==> Sandwiched Boomers Feel the Squeeze: Expert

fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
their savings, creating a financial maelstrom their
family would never recover from. Did you know that, if

benefits in CASH? David Kottler, aka the Insurance

15. ==> How to Connect with Your ‘Inner Genius’ for
Maximum Success

When it comes to achieving success and happiness in
life, most people focus on external factors and
circumstances like skills, luck, hard work and
intelligence in an attempt to attain their goals. But
intuition expert Kim Chestney claims that we are going
about things all wrong. “We all have an ‘Inner Genius’
which we can tap into by connecting with our most
valuable trait: intuition,” she says. “This a
revolutionary inner power. And it’s not just for the
elite few; it’s the birthright of each and every one of
us!” Kim will illustrate with astonishing accuracy how
people like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey, who began
life as everyday people, utilized this trait to become
wildly successful. More importantly, Kim can also share
with listeners how to tap into this innate trait, with
life-changing results. Kim founded the popular CREATE!
Festival in Pittsburgh, Pa. Her new global online
Intuition school, IntuitionLab is launching now.

18. ==> Been-There Psychotherapist Reveals How to Live
Without Anxiety

Audiences listen intently when psychotherapist Elke
Scholz talks about managing and reducing anxiety for
more fulfilling (and longer!) life. She’s earned—and
happily claims—the moniker “Anxiety Warrior” for
helping people overcome fears, panic, worrisome days
and sleepless nights. But she does more than recommend
ways to corral anxiety in personal and professional
life, she also shares her own anxiety battles and how
she turned her life around. Invite Elke to explore
questions like: Why is workplace anxiety such an
onslaught? What about anxiety triggered by a traumatic
event, a lifestyle interruption, a health challenge or
seemingly nothing identified? What does a life managing
anxiety feel like? Does therapy ever need to include
meds? What simple activities encourage confidence and
calm? Elke Scholz’ books include “Loving Your Life” and
“Anxiety Warrior” volumes 1 and 2. Contact her at (705)

19. ==> The High Cost of Living a Safe Life

At nearly 40 years old, Laura Di Franco had a lot going
for her: she was a wife, a mother of two and the
operator of her own physical therapy practice. But she
wasn’t happy. Di Franco realized the problem was that
she was living in her comfort zone. “I followed the
rules (everyone else’s), didn’t upset anybody, never
spoke up, never said no, and started burning myself
out,” she says. “Somewhere along the line, I lost my
voice, and that took a toll on me physically and
mentally.” Di Franco discovered the key to a more
joyful life was pursuing activities she was passionate
about; chief among them was taking Tae Kwon Do lessons
with her then six-year-old son Jonathan. She can
discuss how she learned to be more grateful for
everything in her life and how others can find their
own Tae Kwon Do, whatever it may be. With almost three
decades of expertise in holistic physical therapy,
Laura Di Franco, MPT, is now a third-degree black belt
in Tae Kwon Do. She’s the author of 6 books and the new
e-book, “Living, Healing & Tae Kwon Do: A Memoir to
Inspire Your Inner Warrior.” Contact her at (703)

1. ==> Why A MX Trade War Would Be a Disaster

Marc Thiessen says President Trump’s frustration with
the immigration situation is understandable, but he
says tariffs are the wrong way to address the crisis.
“This showdown with Mexico comes just as we engaged
China in a trade war,” says Thiessen. “Imposing tariffs
on Mexico would help China maximize pain for U.S.
businesses and consumers. Why? China and Mexico provide
us with many of the same kinds of products. Right now,
many American families and businesses that buy those
products can avoid the 25 percent tax on Chinese
products by buying the same kinds of items from
Mexico.” He adds, “A two-front trade war would be
devastating to the U.S. economy. China is our real
adversary. Mexico is not.” Marc Thiessen is a columnist
at The Washington Post, a Fox News contributor and a
fellow at the American Enterprise Institute where he
studies and writes about American presidential
leadership and counterterrorism. Thiessen served as
chief speechwriter to President George W. Bush and to
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Contact him at (202)

2. ==> OB/GYNs: Stop Calling Abortion Bans ‘Heartbeat
Bills’

America’s foremost physicians’ group for women’s health
has hit out at U.S. lawmakers who are labeling abortion
bans as ‘fetal heartbeat bills.’ Dr. Ted Anderson,
president of the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists, says the term does not ‘reflect medical
accuracy or clinical understanding’ of fetal
development or science. “Pregnancy and fetal
development are a continuum. What is interpreted as a
heartbeat in these bills is actually electrically
induced flickering of a portion of the fetal tissue
that will become the heart as the embryo develops,”
Anderson says. The ACOG, which represents 58,000
physicians across the US, is calling on politicians to
base policy on “science and evidence” and not opinion.
Meantime, The Guardian news agency has updated its
style guide and instead of using ‘fetal heartbeat
bills,’ as the laws are often called by anti-abortion
campaigners, “six-week abortion ban” will become the
preferred term for the laws. Contact at Kate Connors at

3. ==> This Guest’s Outdoor Adventures Will Give You
Shivers

Most of us have never experienced the natural world the
way Sparrow Hart has. For example, who can say that
they have been charged by bears and has close
encounters with mountain lions? Or stuck around and
sung to a rattlesnake they unexpectedly encountered?
Who spent 700 days in the wilderness alone or got lost
in a canyon five times the size of the Grand Canyon?
Sparrow has done all that and more. He’ll share why he
says today’s man feels alone, isolated, and estranged
from the great rhythms of nature. An entertaining
storyteller, he can reveal how all of us can appreciate
nature more this summer and discover who we are in the
process. Sparrow has had a varied career that includes
being a Phi Beta Kappa at Stanford, working in a
slaughterhouse and leading men’s programs and vision
quests in nature. He is the author of several books
including “Letters to the River: A Guide to a Dream
Worth Living.” Contact him at (801) 516-0740;

4. ==> Father’s Day: Could You Forgive Your Abusive
Dad?

If your dad belittled or hit you, could you forgive
him? Should you? For many people, this is not an
academic question. It isn’t for Dr. Jeanne Sanner,
whose father often hit her with a strap and verbally
abused her. But as a grownup, she is at peace with her
father and herself. Invite her on air to explain why
people like her father approach life with fear and how
knowing that changed her perception of him and led her
to stop condemning him. For others in your audience who
are having forgiveness issues, Jeanne can share a
simple formula she created that has already helped
hundreds of people change their beliefs to lead happier
lives. She is the author of “Finding Unconditional Love
a Little Peace at a Time.” Jeanne has a doctorate in
spiritual studies, a master’s in education and a
bachelor’s in psychology. Reach her at (949) 284-7788;

6. ==> This Father’s Day, Take a Dad-less Boy Under
Your Wing

7. ==> Perfect for Father’s Day… Why You Should Dump
Your Negative Parents, Friends and Family

We all have them – those parents, friends and relations
who do nothing but criticize, complain about anything
and everything and make us feel small and undeserving.
Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity,
start a dialog and if that doesn’t work, take a break
or walk away from that relationship. Annie Evans
believes that if you don’t deal with them, there’s a
really good chance you’ll turn out just like them.
Evans personally knows how negativity breeds
negativity. Combined with some serious life challenges,
she went on her own downward spiral. Being raised by a
severely mentally-ill mom and losing two life partners
is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans will share her
startling story, and help listeners learn real
strategies to change their mindsets and interactions
and take charge of their attitudes. Contact her at
aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.

8. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

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

Lindy and Tom Schneider, co-authors of “College Secrets
of Highly Successful People,” are college success
experts! They know how to increase the odds of students
completing their degrees and getting hired! But did you
know there are many misconceptions about the college
experience parents and students take at face value that
just aren’t true? Interview the Schneiders about the 6
lies colleges want you to believe. LIE: College is a
four-year commitment. TRUTH: 60% of our college
graduates are taking SIX years to graduate! LIE: Going
to an elite college sets your student up for life.
TRUTH: Doing certain things while you are in college
will catapult you to success no matter where you go!

12. ==> M.D. Shares How to End the Opioid Crisis for
Good

As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions,
health professionals primarily rely on drugs such as
methadone to cure addiction. But Dr. Isaac Alexis says
that there are other, natural ways to overcome
addiction, which focus on the whole person. “It’s not
just about treating addicts,” he says. “It’s about
treating their environments and families.” He can also
share natural and over-the-counter remedies that can
expedite the healing process. Dr. Isaac completed an
internship in trauma surgery at Cornell University at
New York Hospital of Queens. He served as medical
director at the Department of Justice as well as

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

Eventually we’re all called upon to speak in front of a
group – whether it’s for career, school,
clients/customers, organization, place of worship or a
family gathering. How can one win BIG (rather than

the needed confidence, charisma and topnotch delivery?
Audiences will thank you for interviewing Jill Jaysen,
a communications and leadership development expert who
says we have all been mis-taught when it comes to
public speaking. Ask her: Why do the same old recycled,
generic formulas and gimmicks (practice at a mirror,
videotape yourself, picture the audience in their
underwear) actually create mediocre speakers? Jill says
put everybody’s clothes back on! Ask her: When does
your speech really start? How does NLP relate? What are

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

17. ==> What the FBI Got Right

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

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

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

Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy. But according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works. “They show the
befores and afters and how much they paid and sold it
for,” he says. “But they don’t tell you what they paid
the bank in loan costs, all the ‘un-billed’ time
involved, or about the construction deals they get

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

1. ==> The GOP Power Grab Behind Census Question

The New York Times reports that the hard drives of a
dead political strategist reveal the Trump
administration’s decision to add a citizenship question
to the 2020 census was part of an alleged plot to help
elect white Republicans. Raul Reyes says the
revelations won’t surprise anyone following the ongoing
legal wrangling, but it is startling. “On this issue —
which will affect the day-to-day lives of millions of
Americans for years– the Trump administration has
consistently acted in bad faith and with disregard for
the integrity of the census. It is a national disgrace
that the Trump Administration appears to be using the
census as a tool of voter suppression.” Every 10 years
since 1790, the census has counted all the people in
the country. Reyes says the word ‘citizen’ does not
appear in the provision and the framers’ intent was
clear: Apportionment was to be based on a count of all
persons — whether they were citizens or not. Raul
Reyes is an attorney, journalist, and television
commentator in New York City. Contact him at
Raul@RaulAReyes.com

2. ==> ‘Nasty’ – Why Trump’s Misogyny Matters

In a 2016 TV interview, Meghan Markle called then-
candidate Donald Trump “misogynistic…and SO vocal
about it.” In an interview with a British tabloid ahead
of his trip to Europe this week, Trump was asked about
Markle’s comments. “I didn’t know that she was nasty. I
hope she is OK. …” he said. Trump has always defended
his treatment of women by claiming he wasn’t sexist,
pointing to high-ranking women in his administration,
but Kate Manne, author of “Down Girl: The Logic of
Misogyny,” says sexism isn’t the same as misogyny.
“Misogyny involves punishing women who don’t act the
way men want them to.” She says one way to identify
misogyny is to contemplate whether men in comparable
positions would get the same treatment. Many people
mistakenly think misogyny involves hating all women,
but “misogynists can love their mothers,” writes Manne.
“Not to mention their sisters, daughters, wives,
girlfriends, and secretaries…They need not hate women
universally, or even very generally. They tend to hate
women who are outspoken, among other things.” Kate
Manne is an assistant professor at the Sage School of
Philosophy at Cornell University. Contact her at
kam468@cornell.edu

3. ==> New Beatles Flick – Will ‘Yesterday’ Be Sure
Hit?

Writer-director Danny Boyle’s musical comedy
“Yesterday,” about the only guy who remembers the
Beatles, won’t be appearing in movie theaters until
June 28 but the time to talk about it is now. What
makes the Beatles so unforgettable? How did they change
music forever? Why are they still so relevant that a
big movie studio would make “Yesterday”? Will their
legacy go on forever even after people no longer
remember The Rolling Stones or The Who? Get the
answers to these questions and more with Susan Shumsky
as your guest. Susan regularly regales Beatles fans
with fascinating facts about the Fab Four’s “White
Album” and their lives in the 1960s. Susan spent 22
years living in the ashrams of the Beatles’ guru. She

Beloved Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek says his stage 4
pancreatic cancer is in “near remission,” according to
his doctors. He tells PEOPLE, “It’s kind of mind-
boggling … The doctors said they hadn’t seen this
kind of positive result in their memory.” Anthony
Randle’s wife, Jessica, also faced a grim prognosis
when she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer,
and she too defied doctors’ expectations! Invite Randle
to discuss what he believes saved his wife’s life, what
he found in his own research, and how it helped her
sail through chemo and become healthier and happier
than ever. Anthony shares his poignant experiences in
his book “The True Story of a Husband, A Best Friend

7. ==> How to be a Good Father When Your Father Wasn’t

It’s natural to think about fatherhood as Father’s Day
approaches. For example, what does it mean to be a good
father today? How can men be great dads when their own
father left a lot to be desired? Find out when you
interview Wade Meadows, who triumphed over his own
abusive childhood that included a workaholic father to
be the father he wished he had had for his two
daughters. Wade will explain how he broke the cycle of
abuse that plagued generations of his family and
overcame his own self-doubts to achieve a stable life
for himself and his family. A happy grandfather of

8. ==> Missing Your Dad on Father’s Day? The
Undertaker’s Daughter Reveals He’s Not Really Gone

Father’s Day is a very difficult time for those who
have lost their dads. But undertaker’s daughter Margo
Lenmark offers comfort. While growing up in a
Midwestern funeral home where her dad was an
undertaker, Margo learned a lot about life from her
dad, before and after he passed away. “I can share
fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
dead people, and the messages I received from them,”
she says. “I have a lot to say about death and gifts
people give when they die.” Margo can reveal her
journeys to the other side, experiences she had in
dreams and the important messages she received about
life from the deceased. She is the author of “Light in
the Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter,”
which has received glowing reviews from Deepak Chopra
and others. Contact Margo at MLenmark@rtirguests.com;

9. ==> Great Pre or Post Debate Show

The Democratic presidential contenders will begin
debating later this month as the party begins the
process of whittling down the enormous field of
candidates. Suppose you were one of 20+ hopefuls. What
would you do to stand out from the pack? Whether it is
Bernie or Elizabeth, or Joe, Kamala or Pete, the answer
is going to be the same and communication expert Paul
Hellman has it. Book Paul now to talk about the
importance of the opening seconds in a debate, why too
much detail can be disastrous, and share some of the
all-time worst debate gaffs and how they could have
been avoided. After the debates, invite Hellman back to
discuss who came out on top and why. He consults and
speaks internationally on how to make your point—so you
get heard, get remembered and get results. 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

Abuse

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

and fitness guru Adita Yrizarry-Lang has the answers.

she’ll change their entire outlook on health and
fitness. Adita, author of “SuperPowers, A Busy Woman’s
Guide to Health and Happiness,” will reveal how

playing in the dirt with your kids is more effective
than the gym, and why something as basic as drinking
more water can help you lose ten pounds. Best of all,
her advice is so doable that even the most ridiculously
busy man or woman can eliminate guilt, wasted time
working out and finally find inspiration staying
healthy and fit. This powerhouse is a 30-year fitness

Aged Miserable to Mid-Life Magnificent

Get ready for a fresh perspective on being a single and
over fifty. Katherine Webster, author of “Becoming
Madam Widow,” will help suddenly single women reinvent
their lives, sexuality, attitude and outlook.

a female alone at mid-life and does so with frankness
and humor. Whether listeners are alone by fate or
choice, they’ll learn why it’s more fun not to have a
mate in or out of the bedroom, and why they are the
only ones that can satisfy their needs. Webster is a
spitfire of a guest who wants provocative topics and
isn’t afraid to show the world that real women are
single, feisty and bad-ass. She’s going to give
listeners a much-needed dose of reality, actual doable
solutions and real ways to kick-start the second, and
best part of their new lives. Contact her

15. ==> Spine Surgeon Reveals…Why Not Relaxing This
Summer Can Land You Flat on Your Back

Summer is supposed to be the time to unwind, but most
Americans fill it to the brim with activities that have
the complete opposite effect. The stress they create
for themselves and their families manifests in back and
body pain that can put them flat on their back. Noted
spine surgeon Dr. David Hanscom will explain the
connection between summer chaos and physical pain,
while revealing how stress and anxiety are at the core
of most of our problems. Hanscom, author of “Back in
Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will
show audiences how to cure themselves and avoid costly
trips to the doctor and pharmacy. Presenting research-
based evidence and information about the direct
connection between stress, anxiety and physical pain in
both adults and children, he’ll also explore how
anxiety has led to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and
just plain bad-doctoring. An in-demand speaker and
talk-show guest, including The Dr. Oz Show, Hanscom
will change the way you view summer activities and get
your audience back on track to really enjoy the season.

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

100 million people are obese in the US alone and food
addiction is rampant in this country. But did you know
you could be addicted to food and not even know it?
It’s time for Americans to take a long hard look at
their love affair with food! “Of the 10 most common
addictions food is definitely way up there,” says
Michael McGee, MD – a psychiatrist who blends science
with spirituality to give people back control over
their lives. Dr. McGee will show your audience how to

later” philosophy to help them figure out if they are
addicted to food (or anything else!) and what they can
do to gain more control over their choices. He’ll share
3 easy ways to make your eating habits healthy again –
simply by making unhealthy food not obvious,
unattractive and difficult to obtain. Of course,
reversing this process makes healthy eating easier! Dr.

18. ==> Does Your Name Determine Your Success in Life?

“What’s in a name?” According to Name Colorology expert
B. P. Greycastle, your name can make or break you in
life. In his book “Your Name and Colors: Key to Your
Beauty, Career, Personality, Romance and Success,” he
reveals how your color-coded name determines your
personality traits and talents as they correlate to
your seven energy centers: spiritual, intellectual,
vocal, physical, control, emotional and sexual. “The
richest people have certain color types,” he explains.
“Ninety percent of them are purple spiritual center
people. William Gates is one example.” He can
illustrate on air using a vast array of lists, facts
and figures how the most famous and successful people
in practically every career field owe their success to
their names, with astonishing accuracy. Contact B.P. at

19. ==> How to Make the Toughest Decisions

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

easier to make. Terrie Novak’s unique framework for

=======================================
1. ==> The Founding Fathers and Fetuses

As the courts take on new challenges to abortion
rights, Marshall Sahlins claims the United States
Constitution clearly indicates that human life begins
at birth, not at conception. He says the presumption
that a fetus is a human person is unconstitutional. “In
all known human societies, one’s identity as a person
is established by membership in the society, which
necessarily depends on the observable circumstances of
birth rather than the occult moment of conception. At
birth one is attributed the parentage, name, local
affiliations, kinship relations, citizenship, and other
social specifications that define a human existence.
All this, moreover, is publicly certified by rituals,
such as christening, that typically confer legitimacy
on the newborn by society, as backed by divinity. One
is a person by culture, not by nature.” Invite him to
discuss what he calls “obvious signs” that the Framers
did not suppose that an embryo was already a person.
Marshall Sahlins is the Charles F. Grey Distinguished
Service Professor emeritus of anthropology at the
University of Chicago. Contact him at (773) 702-7703
(IL); m-sahlins@uchicago.edu

2. ==> The Abortion/Death Penalty Hypocrisy

Jay Parini says if it’s time to tighten the ban on
abortions, it’s also time to get rid of capital
punishment once and for all. “It’s a genuine
abomination that flies in the face of human dignity. Is
it not deeply ironic that the seven states that have
passed tighter abortion laws are also actively open to
killing live human beings by lethal injection or
electrocution?” He adds, “There is, needless to say, a
complex debate about when life actually begins. And
there is much to say for the quality of life after
birth — and our society’s willingness to ensure it to
all as a matter of policy — as being just as important
as the ticking heartbeat. The death penalty is another
matter. It’s not up for debate, in my view, and those
who do not see the connection between preserving the
lives of fetuses and preserving the lives of adults
should take a clear-eyed look at their consciences. We
don’t get to kill people. Period. It’s barbarous,
inhumane, cruel, and — thank goodness — rare in most
civilized countries.” Parini is a writer and academic
who teaches at Middlebury College. He just recorded
“Jesus, Paul and the Early Christians” and published
“The Damascus Road: A Novel of Saint Paul.” Contact him
at parini@middlebury.edu

3. ==> WHO: Video Game Addiction is a Real Disorder

Think your kid is addicted to video games? There could
be something to it. The World Health Organization has
just made video game addiction an official mental
health disorder. Bring clinical forensic psychologist
Dr. John Huber on your show and ask him: Do you think a
person who plays a lot of video games has a “disease”?
If the US embraces The World Health Organization’s
decision on video games does that mean drugs will be
able to be prescribed in attempt to treat or cure the
disease? Can video games also have a positive impact on
a person’s mental health? Dr. John Huber is the
chairman for Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit
mental health organization. He’s appeared on hundreds
of radio shows and dozens of national television
programs. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103;

6. ==> The Untapped $3.5 Trillion Multicultural
Consumer Market

Multicultural customers are the fastest growing segment
of the U.S. population. So why do many U.S.
corporations continue to either ignore, misread, fumble
or just give lip service in their attempts to get this
important demographic representing 38 percent of the
country and $3.5 trillion in buying power — one quarter
of the country’s buying power — to purchase their
products? Invite Terry Soto to explain why current
methods for targeting multicultural markets aren’t
working and what needs to be done instead. Soto was
born in Ecuador and raised in Los Angeles and has been
one of the country’s most foremost experts on growth
strategy and business development for more than three
decades. She’s been featured in Forbes, MarketWatch,

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

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

8. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

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

9. ==> The Secret to Decoding Your Dreams

From terrifying nightmares to ridiculous romps with
crazy characters and bizarre locations, your nightly
adventures aren’t random at all. They reveal a lot
about what’s going on in your life, but deciphering
them can be confusing, to say the least. Dream analyst
Layne Dalfen says your dreams are actually
conversations you have with yourself about specific
current issues in your life. She says, “The solution
you’re looking for about what (or who) in your life is
bugging you this week will appear in your unconscious
mind before it gets to your conscious. Dream analysis
gives you the power to decide how you want to respond
to people and situations in your life.” Dalfen will

10. ==> Why Women Directors Are Snubbed

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

11. ==> This Expert Knows Why People Tune You Out (and
What to Do About It)

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

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

According to Curt Lindsley, ” Domestic violence doesn’t
just affect the victims; it tears at the very fabric of
entire communities.” The domestic violence awareness
advocate says it can impact a company’s bottom line due
to lost productivity, can cause long-term health
problems in victims, can spill over to schools and
workplaces, and involve innumerable police man hours.
Thus, a multi-pronged approach is needed to tackle this
madness head on. Curt can share how communities,
organizations and individuals can come together to
curtail this epidemic, starting today. Curt is the
founder of the nonprofit domestic violence awareness
group Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go Purple Day™ (Oct.
1); and co-founder of the Covington Domestic Violence
Task Force, official sponsor of Purple Light Nights®.

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

Audiences listen intently when psychotherapist Elke
Scholz talks about managing and reducing anxiety for a
more fulfilling (and longer!) life. She has deserved
and happily claims the moniker “Anxiety Warrior” when
helping people overcome fears, panic, worrisome days
and sleepless nights. But she does more than recommend
how to corral anxiety in personal and professional
life. She tells of her own anxiety battles, and how she
turned her life around. Her books including “Loving
Your Life” and “Anxiety Warrior.” Invite Elke on-air to
explore questions like: Why is workplace anxiety such
an onslaught? What about anxiety triggered by a
traumatic event, a lifestyle interruption, a health
challenge or seemingly nothing identified? What does a
life managing anxiety feel like? Does therapy ever need
to include meds? What simple activities encourage
confidence and calm? Contact Elke at (705) 710-4315;

15. ==> 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 firsthand how important it is to take
control of your health and your body. She will share
the short cuts she learned the hard way, as she fought
her way back to good health after 28 symptoms of an
auto-immune illness went misdiagnosed and untreated for
years. A highly successful tech entrepreneur, educated
at Wharton and Harvard, Reena has a strong personal
story of surviving two major illnesses before the age
of 50. Reena is the author of the “HealJournal” and

16. ==> Why Women Are Required to Save Our World

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

a life of joy and happiness, under all conditions that
life sends you, the good or the not-so-good.” David has
spent 80 years living a joyful and abundant life,
immersed in science and spirituality where he has found
that one supports the other. “The pathway of the 12
steps leads to joy and happiness even under devastating

18. ==> How to Have the Perfect School

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

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

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

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

Will Castro is one of the most popular car customizers
in America with a client-base of A-list celebrities,
athletes, corporations, and automotive enthusiasts.
Invite him on your show to share anecdotes from working

and television; including P. Diddy, LeBron James, Nicki
Minaj, Carmelo Anthony, Jason DeRulo, IceT and DJ
Khaled, just to name a few. You’ll also learn what cars
are best suited for specific customization and how
anyone can add “unique” flair to their ride with stereo
and video systems, cigar boxes and more. Unique Rides
airs on the Velocity Channel. Will is also a television
executive producer and the host of the automotive
lifestyle podcast Unique Radio. His new book is “Unique
Hustle.” Contact Merritt Smail at merritt@mango.bz?

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

He’s the CEO of a billion-dollar company but Kevin
Guest has always been a musician at heart. Kevin’s
shared the stage with Eddie Money, Kenny Loggins and
other rock-n-roll icons and met fascinating people from
all walks of life, and he believes that each experience
— in music and business — has built upon another to
contribute to his living a life in harmony. Invite him
on your show to share entertaining anecdotes and
inspiring stories that illustrate the 12 foundational
principles by which he lives and that he believes will
lead others on their own path to success and happiness.
Hear how he scored an interview with Gene Simmons of
KISS and then spent the night before learning how to
use the $80-thousand-dollar camera, how he had a panic
attack in front of Keith Urban and Brooks & Dunn at
Grand Ole Opry, and what he’s learned through his
experiences. Kevin Guest is CEO of USANA, a health and
nutritional supplement company. He still performs
part-time with country music superstar Collin Raye and
plays regular gigs with The Free Radicals, a band
featuring members of the USANA management team.
Proceeds from his new book “All the Right Reasons: 12
Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony,” go
to USANA’s True Health Foundation, a nonprofit charity
that helps people in need around the world. Contact Tim
Brown at (801) 557-1466; tim@candidcom.com?

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

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

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

Here it comes again – the dreaded bathing suit and
short season. So how can you help your listeners
measure up without hardly breaking a sweat? Renowned
health and fitness guru Adita Yrizarry-Lang has the
answers. She’ll not only help audiences rock their
bathing suits without deprivation, starvation and non-

simple changes in their lives. She’ll reveal how

workouts, why playing in the dirt with your kids is
more effective than the gym and why something as basic

ridiculously busy man or woman can eliminate guilt,
wasted time working out and finally find inspiration
staying healthy and fit. Contact her at (305) 874-0268;

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

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

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

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

9. ==> How to Become an Activist

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

100 million people are obese in the US alone and food
addiction is rampant in this country. But did you know
you could be addicted to food and not even know it?
It’s time for Americans to take a long hard look at

addictions food is definitely way up there,” says Dr.

with spirituality to give people back control over
their lives. Dr. McGee will show your audience how to

later” philosophy to help them figure out if they are

do to gain more control over their choices. He’ll share
3 easy ways to make your eating habits healthy again –
simply by making unhealthy food not obvious,
unattractive and difficult to obtain. Of course,
reversing this process makes healthy eating easier! Dr.
Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical
Schools. He is the author of “The Joy of Recovery: The

1. ==> Violent Tornadoes Target Heartland

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

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

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

World Bedwetting Day started in the UK five years ago
to raise awareness of bedwetting as a common condition
that can be treated. Appreciative audiences listen
intently when sought-after speaker Jeff Lazarus, M.D.,
discusses his comprehensive home video program “Keeping
the Bed Dry,” which incorporates medical hypnosis for
anyone hoping to finally awaken to a dry bed. Invite
this acclaimed pediatrician to answer questions like:

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

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

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

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

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

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

11. ==> What the FBI Got Right!

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

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

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

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

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

First Couple

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

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

The first thing we typically reach for when we’re ill

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4. ==> The Amazing Kreskin

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

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

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

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

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

9. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

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

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

We all have them – those friends and relations who do
nothing but complain about anything and everything.
Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity
and kick them to the curb. Annie Evans believes that if
you don’t, there’s a really good chance you’ll be
negative too. Evans personally knows how negativity
breeds negativity. Combined with some serious life
challenges, she went on her own downward spiral. Being
raised by a severely mentally-ill mom and losing two
life partners is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans
will share her startling story, and help listeners
learn real strategies to change their mindsets and take
charge of their attitudes. Contact her at
aevans@rtirguests.com; (310) 621-0456.

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

That’s the message from Katherine Webster. She’s blunt,
a straight-shooter and a real example of someone who
walked the walk. She pulled herself up by her
bootstraps from a bad situation out of necessity. She’s
now on a mission to share what she learned to get
others off their butts to do the same. Webster, author
of “Becoming Madam Widow” is a spit-fire who will give

whiners to task and provide real short and long-termed
strategies to make lasting change in their lives.
She’ll also inspire listeners with her story while she
gets them to stop wallowing in their misery, drowning
in self-sabotage and complaining about their
situations. By the time she’s done, they’ll know how to
get out of the dumpster and head down the path to an
unexpected life of contentment and happiness. Contact

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

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

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

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

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

Cure

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

cycle for good. Dr. Steven has been practicing family

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

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

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

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