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

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

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

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

3. ==> The Fascinating Future of Space Exploration

What’s the future of space exploration? Invite NASA
expert and space historian Rod Pyle to share an inside
look at the next few decades of spaceflight and long-
term plans for exploration, utilization, and
settlement. He’ll talk about the privatization of space
exploration with entrepreneurial start-ups building
huge rocket boosters, satellites, rocket engines,
asteroid probes, prospecting craft, and even commercial
lunar cargo landers to open this new frontier. Pyle’s
new book, “Space 2.0”, examines the new partnerships
that are revolutionizing spaceflight and changing the
way we reach for the stars. Rod Pyle appears on
national radio and TV and hosts the podcast “Cool Space
News” on iHeart Radio. He has written more than a dozen
books and produced numerous documentaries for the
History Channel and Discovery Communications including
the acclaimed Modern Marvels: Apollo 11. Contact him at
(626) 399-4440; rodpyle@yahoo.com or Skype: rodpyle106

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

Ringo and Paul are still touring and Paul has had 38
million hits and counting on “Carpool Karaoke.” What is
perhaps even more remarkable is the band’s “White
Album” made it into the Billboard Top 10 50 years after
its release! This timeless group remains a favorite of
everyone from baby boomers to millennials. All of this
is not news to Susan Shumsky, who regularly regales
Beatles fans with fascinating facts about the Fab
Four’s “White Album” and their lives in the 1960s. When
you interview Susan you’ll learn what Paul said about
seeing God when he took the psychedelic drug DMT and
about the hidden meanings behind “Let it Be,” “Mother
Nature’s Son,” “Cosmically Conscious,” “Blackbird,”
“Get Back,” “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road,” “Back in
the USSR,” “Fool on the Hill,” and “The Long and
Winding Road.” Also, ways Ringo’s new book is connected
to the Beatles time in India. Susan spent 22 years
living in the ashrams of the Beatles’ guru. She is the
award-winning author of 15 books including “Maharishi &
Me: Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles’ Guru.” She
has done over 1,000 media appearances. Contact her at
(917) 336-7184; SShumsky@rtirguests.com

5. ==> The Rare Disease Sidelining Peter Frampton

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

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

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

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

Ever wish you could have money coming in month after
month without doing any work? Your listeners already
know that investing in real estate is a proven way for
ordinary people to achieve financial freedom. But what
they don’t know is how to sort through all the “get-
rich-quick” hype and simply get started. That’s why
you’ll enjoy interviewing Doug Marshall, author of
“Mastering the Art of Commercial Real Estate
Investing.” Doug will reveal the number one problem
most new investors have getting started. He’ll share
the five questions every new investor should answer
before buying their first rental property, and will
reveal five mistakes to avoid when buying rental
properties. Ask him what he learned from his “loser
property”. Contact Doug Marshall at (508) 614-1808;
doug@marshallcf.com

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

When we “spring forward” on March 10, many will
complain about losing just one hour of sleep. Is one
hour of sleep a big deal? Studies show an increase in
heart attacks on the Monday following the time shift,
and within the first 48 hours after the time change, a
spike in automobile fatalities. Is this a coincidence?
Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith will talk about the pros and
cons of losing sleep in the morning for an extra hour
of sunlight in the evening. She’ll discuss how to get a
quality night’s sleep, and advise parents on how to
help their children acclimate to time changes – as well
as the physical changes that occur in everyone’s bodies
when seasons and schedules change. Dr. Saundra will
reveal strategies for feeling rested and refreshed
despite the time change, how to feel better with less
hours of sleep, and how to adjust your attitude so
you’ll be able to sleep better at night. Sleep hygiene
is a very hot topic! Dr. Saundra’s advice and expertise
has been featured in Woman’s Day and Prevention
magazines. Contact her at (256-) 40-0564;

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

Millions of people frown at colder temperatures,
shorter daylight, and challenging commitments faced
during these winter months. What can you do about
chronic pains that flair-up when digging out of the
snow, hitting the slopes or getting weary at work? What
if conditions like depression, chronic fatigue and
fibromyalgia worsen? International wellness expert Leah
McCullough calls this “The Winter Season of Pain” but
her lifestyle advice offers hope and help! Interview
Leah to learn how to find relief and thwart seasonal
aches/pains with simple changes in diet, sleep,
exercise, and attitude. Leah, aka The Fibro Lady, will

health. Leah McCullough is the author of “Eat to
Energize” and “Freedom from Fibromyalgia” and the
online program “How to Recover from Fibromyalgia and
Feel Great Again”. Contact her at (859) 380-9737;

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

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

12. ==> Fun Show: How Life in the Future Will Be Like
Star Trek

Discover the good news about humanity’s future when you
interview acclaimed scientific researcher Mark Kingston
Levin, Ph.D. Author of the “30th Century Trilogy,” Dr.
Levin will explore how humanity (as shared in Star
Trek) could: end disease and poverty, master Earth’s
resources without harming the environment, advance so
space travel and living on other planets will be
common, and help our descendants be more creative and
much wealthier and healthier. Such positive Star Trek-
esque things can happen much earlier than expected!
Explore with Dr. Levin questions like: How will
artificial intelligence help us? Can we ever have a
violence-free world? Will time travel become possible?
What about reversing aging and controlling longevity?
What other amazing scientific/technological
advancements will we see? Contact Dr. Levin at (858)

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

As opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions,
most treatment programs focus merely on treating the
symptoms. But Dr. Steven M. Hall claims they are
getting it all wrong. “The magnitude of the problem is
mind-boggling, and most recovery programs don’t address
how this started in the first place,” he says. Thus, he
has devised a three-pronged treatment program with
which he has helped dozens of patients in his private
practice overcome addiction that addresses the physical
and emotional causes of addiction. “It’s true that
people’s emotions are as important as their physical
feelings,” he says. “I teach people how to be healthy
with their feelings.” Dr. Steven received his medical
degree from University of Utah School of Medicine and
has been practicing family medicine since 1985. He is
the author of “The 7 Tools of Healing: Unlock Your
Inner Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul Desires.”
Contact him at (425) 531-3684.

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

The art of organizing is hot right now, but there’s one
area where organization can make a huge difference, and
quite possibly save your life; organizing your health
history, from medical conditions, surgeries, childhood
health history, immunizations, allergies, dental
procedures, doctor/E.R. visits, and more. Invite
RN/APRN (nurse practitioner) and author Anne McAwley-
LeDuc to discuss strategies for the best health
journey. Ask her to explore on-air: How can organizing
your health history be easier than keeping receipts,
recipes or mail? Why should you start recording health
info about your child before birth? What often happens
to health records when you move, change doctors or
travel frequently? Anne McAwley-LeDuc is the author of
the critically-acclaimed workbook “Personal Health
Organizer: Record Your Medical and Dental History,
Birth Through Life”. Contact her at (860) 642-1786;
a.mcawley.leduc@charter.net

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

Spring is around the corner and so is engagement and
wedding season. That makes it the perfect time to talk
about sex and marriage. Just how important is sex to a
marriage? Should couples expect to have daily sex? Can
couples form a strong bond without a robust sex life?
Is viewing pornography a form of cheating? Discuss the
topic with René and Gloria Vallières, a couple married
nearly 50 years and the authors of the new book
“Radical Sex: God’s Foundation for a Healthy Marriage.”
René was a pastor in The Christian and Missionary
Alliance and a teaching elder at Evangelical
Fellowships in New York and Utah. Teaching adult
classes on relationships for 35 years, Gloria has a
prayer ministry and is a freelance writer. Contact René
and Gloria at (801) 783-0928;

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

Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
high profile, nasty divorces and Pastor and Christian
marriage counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo believes his
marriage to Melania is also doomed. “Trump’s marriage
is not going to end well; his wife will leave him,”
Rev. George says. “He doesn’t have a concept of
marriage. He doesn’t treat women with respect and
esteem them for who they are.” Rev. George should know.
He’s been married to his wife, Shirley, for 46 years
and counseled more than 500 troubled couples, with an
85 percent success rate. Rev. George is an ordained
minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. He
has 34 years of experience in Christian ministries as a
pastor, Christian counselor and life coach. He is the
author of “Preparing for and Fostering Harmony in
Marriage”. Contact him at GSukhdeo@rtirguests.com;
(647) 691-6042.

17. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make

Did you know that many teachers, in trying to encourage
their students, actually embarrass them? That
embarrassment leads to discouragement, which if left
unchecked can kill whatever love of learning a kid has.
All children have an innate desire to learn and are
excited about it. But as early as kindergarten, even
good teachers are setting them up to hate school. As a
former educator and administrator in public schools and
universities, Lee Jenkins saw the need for a new
approach to learning – one that keeps that “intrinsic
motivation” alive from kindergarten through 12th grade.
He says, “What most parents and teachers don’t realize
is that motivation is made up of both will and thrill.
Are your kids working hard and loving the process?
Chances are they aren’t!” Lee Jenkins is the of
“Permission to Forget” and the upcoming “How to Create
a Perfect School.” He now consults and writes full
time with his firm LtoJ Consulting Group. Contact him
at (484) 306-8784; LJenkins@rtirguests.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lynne Goldberg says an Oscar party is the perfect time
to go big, go glamorous and go over the top! But how
can you put something together in time for Sunday’s
show? Invite this veteran event planner to share
award-winning tips on music, props, food, drink… even
how to set the scene for the all-important social media
opps. “Decorate in gold and have a red carpet at your
entrance and a backdrop with your name and Oscar Party
2019 for photos. Or buy cardboard cut-outs of your
favorite celebrities and place them around your home,
including the bathroom, and encourage guests to take
selfies with a personal hashtag you design.” Most
important though, Goldberg says, is to have a good
time, because if you’re enjoying yourself, your guests
will too. Lynne Goldberg is the president of Boca
Entertainment, a full service event planning company
that specializes in theme entertainment. She’s appeared
on reality TV and her work and commentary has been
featured in the New York Times, Washington Post,
Huffington Post and Wall Street Journal. Contact her at
(561) 212-6024; Lynneggoldberg@gmail.com

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

With no host and no opening monologue, Sunday’s Academy
Awards are expected to be a departure from the past.
What won’t change are the acceptance speeches the stars
will make that will be watched by more than 30 million
people. Some actors will drone on and be played off,
but a few will mesmerize. Communication expert Paul
Hellman will share whose acceptance speech succeeded
and why. He’ll reveal three things everyone needs to
hold anyone’s attention—even stars’—in an age when our
attention span is just eight seconds. Hellman can also
share memorable anecdotes from past Oscar nights
including who gave the shortest acceptance speech; he
consults and speaks internationally on how to excel in
high-stakes communications. His columns and advice
have appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street
Journal, CNBC.com and on public radio’s Marketplace and
CNN’s Business Unusual. He is the author of “You’ve Got
8 Seconds: Communication Secrets for a Distracted
World” (AMACOM). Contact him at (508) 879-0934;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8. ==> Why You Should Vote for Women in 2020

Our world, according to many experts, is heading
towards self-destruction. The existence of worldwide
nuclear weapons, countries run by tribal leaders and
unstable dictators, and a way of thinking that Einstein
called “a silent addiction leading to species suicide”
doesn’t bode well for any of us. Interview Dr. Donald
Pet, a psychiatrist, who contends that if we want to
get serious about creating world peace, women are the
answer! “Women by nature are nurturers. Men by nature
create war,” says Pet. “Women are natural communicators
who use negotiating to show strength instead of bully
tactics!” Pet is the founder of the Education Community

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the streets of Philadelphia. He does everything in his
power to find her, rescue her, and love her…. even
after she spits in his face and refuses to leave the
streets. He sacrifices everything for love! Marty will
share how his love for his birth mom was tested time
and time again, but eventually prevailed – overcoming
her rejection and fear. This wonderful human-interest
story is really a tale of two mothers… the one who took
him in, raised him, hid the truth from him – but
eventually gave him the information and the courage he

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mouth-watering pizza. Rich chocolate. Both top the list
of foods many people can’t stop eating until they’ve
consumed the entire pie or box of candy. But live on
the air, Sora Vernikoff can teach your audience her
simple Green Technique that will allow them to eat all
the pizza and chocolate they want and still lose
weight. Turning conventional wisdom on its ear, she’ll
explain why thinking about food makes you fat—not
eating it—and bad-for-you foods are a myth. Sora, a
former elementary school teacher who lost 25 pounds and
has kept them off for decades, has helped hundreds of
people discover the secret for knowing when to stop
eating. She is the author of the Amazon bestseller “Eat
Want You Want! Stop When You Want!: A No-Diet, Weight-
Loss Program.” This experienced talk show guest spent
more than a decade teaching her program while working
under the auspices of a leading New York City
endocrinologist. She has also taught the program at the
Learning Annex and lectured at Lennox Hill Hospital.

19. ==> How Shame Keeps Addicts Hooked

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

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

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

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

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

2. ==> The Best and Worst Oscar Speeches

With no host and no opening monologue, the Academy
Awards this Sunday are expected to be a departure from
the past. What won’t change are the acceptance speeches
the stars will make that will be watched by more than
30 million people. Some actors will drone on and be
played off, but a few will mesmerize. Communication
expert Paul Hellman will share whose acceptance speech
succeeded and why. He’ll reveal three things everyone
needs to hold anyone’s attention—even stars’—in an age
when our attention span is just eight seconds. Hellman
can also share memorable anecdotes from past Oscar
nights including who gave the shortest acceptance
speech; he consults and speaks internationally on how
to excel in high-stakes communications. His columns
and advice have appeared in the New York Times, Wall
Street Journal, CNBC.com and on public radio’s
Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual. He is the
author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds: Communication Secrets
for a Distracted World” (AMACOM). Contact him at (508)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9. ==> Surprising Sexual Assault Law Loopholes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have you noticed the number of recent animal attacks on
unsuspecting people? Hikers are being injured by
mountain lions, wolves and even white-tail deer in
forests nationwide. Coyotes are invading homes,
backyards and campsites. Bears are attacking people in
Yellowstone and other parks while alligators are
drowning dog-walkers and little children in broad
daylight! What’s causing all these wild animal attacks?
And how can we protect themselves? Get answers and
learn valuable safety tips, especially for colder
months, from nature expert Bruce Hemming. Bruce will
reveal where people are most in danger these days, how
laws that limit hunting and trapping are backfiring,
and how to revamp the animal conservation system to
lesson these attacks and home invasions. Invite
listeners to call in with their own stories of
confrontations with dangerous wild creatures. Bruce is
the author of “4 Seconds Until Impact: The Skyrocketing
Attacks by Predators on Humans”. Contact him at (605)

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

Teenagers are often known for being moody or silly, and
seemingly lost among the worry and angst of their
“almost an adult” years. But what about those teens who
are happy, hopeful, well-adjusted, and making confident
progress academically and in their everyday lives? What
do they know that could help all young people? Explore
this with acclaimed author Paul Bernabei, whose many
books of the Top 20 series include “TOP 20 Teens.”
He’ll reveal how today’s most successful teens think
smarter and foster positive beliefs while learning from
their mistakes. Bernabei will also talk about social-
emotional learning and how this benefits students in
personal and school life. Appreciative audiences (teens
themselves and their mentors/parents/teachers) will
also hear about must-know lifelong secrets for “people-
smart” communication, conflict resolution,
demonstrating kindness, specializing in effective
responses and much more. Contact Bernabei at (651)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2. ==> Social Security Reform for Whom?

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

3. ==> Why Blackface is So Offensive

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

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

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

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

Women have made huge inroads this year, particularly in
politics, but not when it comes to the Academy Awards
where this year’s nominees for best director include
men named Spike, Adam, Alfonso, Yorgos and Pawel.
Award-winning female film director and author Kailin
Gow will discuss why there is a lack of female
directors in Hollywood and how their absence shuts out
the perspective of half the population. Founder of the
newly launched OTT channel FemaleFlix, showcasing women
interest films, shows, activities, and news, Gow will
discuss why the number of female directors has been
declining for the past five years, how women and
minorities can break through the glass ceiling, and
what it’s like to be approached by producers with male
development teams when her own books are optioned.
Kailin Gow’s 300 plus books feature strong female
characters and have sold more than 5.5 million copies
worldwide. Her movies have won accolades at film
festivals around the world. Contact her at (617)
582-2121; KGow@rtirguests.com

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

Chocolate is everywhere this week and it’s a great gift
for Valentine’s Day, but it can be a problem if you’re
watching your weight and have an affinity for the cocoa
bean. Chocolate tops the list of foods many people
can’t stop eating until they’ve consumed the entire
box! But live on the air, Sora Vernikoff can teach your
audience her simple Green Technique that will allow
them to eat all the chocolate they want and still lose
weight. Turning conventional wisdom on its ear, she’ll
explain why thinking about food makes you fat—not
eating it—and bad-for-you foods are a myth. Sora, a
former elementary school teacher who lost 25 pounds and
has kept them off for decades, has helped hundreds of
people discover the secret for knowing when to stop
eating. She is the author of the Amazon bestseller “Eat
Want You Want! Stop When You Want!: A No-Diet, Weight-
Loss Program.” This experienced talk show guest spent
more than a decade teaching her program while working
under the auspices of a leading New York City
endocrinologist. She has also taught the program at the
Learning Annex and lectured at Lennox Hill Hospital.

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

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

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

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

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

Legal trouble is stressful and expensive. Do you have
the right good lawyer to help you navigate a lawsuit
(whether you’re suing or being sued), while looking
after your pocketbook? How is seeking courtroom justice
the priciest way to solve a problem? Are you willing to
stay the course and jeopardize your business, your
marriage or your own health? Explore many such
questions with attorney Francine Tone, Esq., who’s been

dramas (like Bull, Suits, The Good Fight) are anywhere
close to reality. Contact Francine Tone at (531)

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

What’s it like receiving a Presidential Pardon? Why did
John Smith want one? He spent 5 years in public
accounting, only to get caught up in the S&L crisis
during the 1980’s. As far as he was concerned,
everything at his company was above board – until the
FBI came knocking! He came to realize the extent of his
employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
and hear his incredible story of perseverance and grit.

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

There are many experts who believe medical errors are
now the 3rd leading cause of death in the US – behind
cancer and heart disease. How and why is this
happening? Who is to blame? How do we fix it? For
decades, Dr. Ira Williams has been hounding the five
Federal agencies created to solve the health care
crisis in this country. With over 130 years

challenge the current system is the only way to win!”

year-old woman’s stage 4 cancer disappears. How are

Leave?

All too often, we hear about women whose lives were
ended by men they lived with. Including some who fell

1. ==> The Drag Queen Story Hour Controversy

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

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

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

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

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

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

With no host and no opening monologue, this year’s
Academy Awards on Feb. 24 are expected to be a
departure from the past. What won’t change are the
acceptance speeches the stars will make that will be
watched by more than 30 million people. Some actors
will drone on and be played off, but a few will
mesmerize. Communication expert Paul Hellman will share
whose acceptance speech succeeded and why. He’ll reveal
three things everyone needs to hold anyone’s
attention—even stars’—in an age when our attention span
is just eight seconds. Hellman can also share memorable
anecdotes from past Oscar nights including who gave the
shortest acceptance speech; he consults and speaks
internationally on how to excel in high-stakes
communications. His columns and advice have appeared
in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com
and on public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business
Unusual. He is the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds:
Communication Secrets for a Distracted World” (AMACOM).

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

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

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

Pick the wrong date or mate, and you could face break-
ups/divorce, lonely single parenting, financial

Everyone wants to be in love. Especially when

time finding love and others seem to fall for the wrong
person over and over again. Joffre McClung says both

right person you need to already be in love—with
yourself!” The author of “The Heart of the Matter” will

who you truly are” and explain how tending to your own
needs can bring unexpected benefits to your life. Give

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

Valentine’s Day can be great or awful, but let’s be
honest, focusing on love for one day in February

action plan! Michael McGee, M.D., will share with your
audience his 25 “love practices”, and February is the

Across the business world, major advances in technology
including robotics, automation and artificial
intelligence are expected to dramatically transform the

book, “The Selling Revolution: Prospering in the World
of Artificial Intelligence.” Sebastian warns that
advanced technologies driven by artificial intelligence
will significantly disrupt the sales profession.

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

Kevin Guest and his band were finally headed to
Nashville when something in his gut made him stop.
After years of hard work, Kevin now felt if he
continued to pursue his passion for music, he’d lose
his wife and kids. So he stepped off the path, caught
crap from his bandmates, and ventured forward into the
corporate unknown. 25 years later, with stories galore
(interviewing Gene Simmons one-on-one, onstage with
Ozzy Osbourne, holding the Hope Diamond in his hands),
he says he has no regrets about his choice. Kevin, now
the CEO of a global, billion-dollar company, says,
“Just like music in disharmony is hard to hear, so are
our lives.” Invite him to share his wildly entertaining

14. ==> How Shame Keeps Addicts Hooked

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

Survival

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

Hawthorne says that the same principles can be applied
to preparing for marriage, and can share his tips for

couples to keep their bonds strong, and enable their
unions to last. “I had a series at my church that

young boys who has learned from his mistakes, and he

1. ==> Trump’s Attack On Socialism

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

Soviet moon probe to study it? Invite NASA expert and
space historian Rod Pyle to share the fascinating
history of the robotic exploration of the solar system
from the early days—rife with failure—to the final
death-dive of the Cassini mission to Saturn. Using his

the copious archives of both the US and Russian space
archives, Pyle weaves a rich history of both programs
from their very origins, when the competition between
the Cold War superpowers—a second, quieter space
race—was white hot. Rod Pyle is the author of fifteen
books on space history, exploration and development.
His latest is “Interplanetary Robots”. He appears on
national radio and TV and hosts the podcast “Cool Space
News” on iHeart Radio. Pyle has also produced numerous

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

Flowers and candy are nice but the best way to express
love is with an intimate encounter. Sex on Valentine’s
Day is not unique but sex every day, now that is
unique! René and Gloria Vallières are convinced from
their nearly 50 years of marriage, and working with
married couples for over 40 years, that daily sex, or

spouse would disappear if we were to enjoy daily sex.

Valentine’s Day

Everyone loves a love story, particularly around
Valentine’s Day and especially if it inspires us to

love is remarkable: this infectious disease expert

bullets, and braved opposing armies to bring home her
daughter. Her powerful story is told in her upcoming
book, “Three Years in Ethiopia: How a Civil War and
Epidemics Led Me to my Daughter.” Dr. Davis’s tale of
adopting against all odds makes for a compelling show
by itself but she can also talk about the realities of
adoption, her life as a black physician, helping to
eradicate smallpox in India and her work for the World
Health Organization. Contact her at (323) 522-5374;

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

In 2018, according to U.S. Census data, just 30 percent
of young adults 18 to 34 were married, a number that
was nearly 60 percent 40 years ago. Young people are
increasingly likely to delay getting married or not get
married at all, a development that cheers Patricia
Houtz, author of the upcoming book “Solo by Choice.” In
honor of Satisfied Staying Single Week, have Houtz on
your show to talk about why marriage is not for
everyone and that’s a good thing. In fact, some 55
percent of adults in the 2017 census said that marriage
is not necessary for a happy life. Houtz can also talk

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

The Feb. 24 Academy Awards will feature the usual glitz
and razzle-dazzle. But noticeably absent are
nominations for female directors. This is especially
irksome to author and director/filmmaker Kailin Gow.
“In Episode 3 of my TV series ‘Kailin Gow’s Go Girl
Food, Travel, and Lost History,’ I talk about the lack
of women directors in Hollywood,” she says. “But what’s
fascinating is that when I did my research, I found the
earliest pioneers of filmmaking in Hollywood were women
who wrote and directed many silent films. When films
started making money and being profitable, that’s when
many men entered filmmaking and turned it into a big
industry. The pioneer women filmmakers were forgotten
and left behind.” Kailin will discuss how women can
break through the glass ceiling in this and other male-
dominated industries. She is the founder of Sparklesoup
Inc., an internationally recognized, multi-award-
winning bestselling author who has sold over 5.5
million books, and a director/filmmaker. Contact her at

11. ==> How Does It Feel to Receive a Presidential
Pardon?

What’s it like receiving a Presidential Pardon? Why did
John Smith want one? He spent 5 years in public
accounting, only to get caught up in the S&L crisis
during the 1980’s. As far as he was concerned,
everything at his company was above board – until the
FBI came knocking! He came to realize the extent of his
employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
and hear his incredible story of perseverance and grit.
His warning to your audience is this – If it can happen
to him… it can happen to you. John Smith is the author
of “Embracing the Abyss” and a keynote speaker on
ethics and integrity in the workplace and in life.

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

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

Bills

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

1. ==> State of the Union: Why You Can’t Take Your Eyes
Off Trump

Tonight, all eyes will be on Donald Trump when he gives
his State of the Union Address. But according to Paul
Hellman, what we really need, more than a State of the
Union, is a State of Our Attention. Because the truth
is that it often seems that for Trump, being president
is sort of a hobby; his real job is King of Attention.
It’s hard to go five minutes without thinking or
talking about President Trump. That’s an amazing
accomplishment in a distracted world, says
communication expert Hellman. How does he do it?
Hellman will reveal the three ways Donald Trump uses to
get heard even by those who are trying to tune him out.
Hellman’s columns and advice have appeared in the New
York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and on public
radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual. He is
the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds: Communication
Secrets for a Distracted World” (AMACOM). Contact him
at (508) 879-0934; paul@expresspotential.com

2. ==> Super Bowl Ads – Who Scored, Who Wasted Money

Creating a memorable Super Bowl ad is a formidable
challenge. There’s the complicated waters of celebrity
endorsements, corporate branding, hot-button issues and
commercials designed to pitch products. So who scored
and who wasted their money Sunday night? Invite Derek
Rucker and Tim Calkins, professors from the Kellogg
School of Management at Northwestern University, to
discuss the ads, the trends, and what makes for a
successful advertisement in the Super Bowl. For the
15th year in a row professors Derek Rucker and Tim
Calkins, along with 50 students, graded and ranked the
most – and least – effective ads aired during the game.
Derek Rucker is professor of entrepreneurial studies at
the Kellogg School. Tim Calkins is a clinical professor
of marketing. Contact Molly Lynch at (773) 505-9719;

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

The countdown is on to the Oscars! Invite film critic
Richard Roeper to talk about this year’s nods, the
surprises and snubs and his picks to take home a golden
statue this year. For more than three decades, Richard
Roeper has been the leading film critic and a columnist
for the Chicago Sun-Times. He rose to national
prominence as the co-host of the popular series “Ebert
and Roeper” alongside Roger Ebert. Roeper stars in
HDNET Movie’s 3rd annual “And The Oscar® Goes To…”
where he guides viewers on a cinematic odyssey that
puts the spotlight on a slate of over 50 Oscar®-winning
films. The marathon runs all this month, ending on
Oscar Night, Feb. 24. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at

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

A 35-year-old medical school yearbook has emerged as
the latest blackface incident trending in the news.
What may seem like harmless behavior to white people is
deeply offensive to black people; moreover, it is just
one aspect of lingering racial insensitivity in the
U.S. Nita Wiggins will address this issue including why
she says Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, whose yearbook
photo sparked the latest uproar, should resign and not
just because of the problem image. Nita will explain
that just last month, the Virginia Senate, with the
approval of the governor and despite the silent protest
of the lieutenant governor, once again honored
Confederate general Robert E. Lee during a Senate
session. A former resident of Charlottesville, Va.,
Nita is a professor who teaches racial sensitivity to
her journalism students in Paris. Contact her at
NWiggins@rtirguests.com

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

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

6. ==> Your Valentine Will Never Forget this Chocolate
Gift

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

7. ==> A Better Valentine’s Day in 5 Minutes

Want to really connect with your Valentine? If you have
just five minutes to spare each day—and who doesn’t?
—Saundra Dalton-Smith, M.D., will tell you what to do
to boost the intimacy you experience as a couple,
including your sex life. She’ll explain how to make the
most of this five minutes whether you sit on the bed,
on the couch or anywhere in between as you give each
other uninterrupted time to make eye contact and talk
about your lives. Far too often, Dr. Saundra says,
couples spend most of their time on conflict
resolution—not closeness. She’ll explain what social
rest and emotional rest are and ways couples can
provide these respites for their spouses so everyone
wins. Board-certified in internal medicine, Dr. Saundra
has been featured in Prevention, Women’s Day, Redbook,
First For Women, and numerous other media outlets. Her
newest book is “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew
Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.” Contact her at (256)

8. ==> Is He the Real Gandalf? Meet Muz the Hermit

Muz Murray lives a simple life in the hills, where he
often goes weeks without talking to another human
being. With his long flowing white hair, beard and
mustache, he bears a strong resemblance to Ian McKellen
when he played the wizard Gandalf in “The Lord of the
Rings” movies. But Muz is no movie character. Ask him:
What made him become a hermit after a lifetime of being
pursued by the media? Why is he willing to do
interviews now? How is he helping people keep their
sanity in an insane world? What is his connection to
J.R.R. Tolkien? Born in England and having lived all
over the world, Muz is like no one you will ever
interview. He has worked in the entertainment industry
as an actor and set designer, in the broadcast
industry, as a psychotherapist and a mystic, and even
as an elephant trainer. His latest book is “You Are the
Light: Secrets of the Sages Made Simple.” Contact him
at gerugandalf@gmail.com or Skype: geru.gandalf1.

9. ==> Create a Love Action Plan with ‘Dr. Love’

Let’s face it, Valentine’s Day isn’t all it’s cracked
up to be. To only focus on love for one day in February
doesn’t really make sense. To really become more
loving, more centered and more spiritually awake it’s
going to take more than that. It’s going to take a love
action plan! Michael McGee, M.D., will share with your
audience his 25 “love practices”, and February is the
perfect month to start! “Love is one of the most
confused and misused words in the English language.
Love is not a feeling. Love is an attitude that
inspires to action to enhance life!” Dr. Michael McGee
trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical Schools. He is
the creator of the unique 12 Step Touchstone Approach
to Recovery and author of “The Joy of Recovery: The New
12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction”, an approach
that works better than AA for many people. Contact Dr.
McGee at (978) 971-9703; MMcGee@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Do a Show on this Incredible, True Love Story!

February is the “Love Month.” Why not do a show on the
incredible true story of a son who, after 20 years,
learns that his estranged birth mother is actually
alive and living on the streets of Philadelphia. He
does everything in his power to find her, rescue her,
and love her…. even after she spits in his face and
refuses to leave the streets. He sacrifices everything
for love! Marty Vargas will share how his love for his
birth mom was tested time and time again, but
eventually prevailed – overcoming her rejection and
fear. This wonderful human-interest story is really a
tale of two mothers… the one who took him in, raised
him, hid the truth from him – but eventually gave him
the information and the courage he needed to go on the
search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas, MFA, is a media
owner, author, and international speaker. His
incredible story has been seen multiple times on ABC
and NBC Philadelphia and Fox News Washington, DC.

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

Candy and flowers are great. There are few who don’t
love them. But if a loved one is in pain, a gift that
relieves pain may be more appreciated. From socks to
salves to electronic devices that soothe, alternative
pain treatment expert Cindy Perlin has lots of
suggestions for gifts for a Valentine who’s in pain.
With one out of three American adults experiencing
chronic pain and many more suffering from acute pain,
this topic is sure to be relevant to many in your
audience. Perlin is a licensed clinical social worker,
certified biofeedback practitioner and chronic pain
survivor. She’s the author of “The Truth About Chronic
Pain Treatment: The Best and Worst Strategies for

area for over 25 years, she’s a seasoned radio and TV
guest. Contact her at cindyperlin@gmail.com; (518)

12. ==> How to Care for Your Heart for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day reminds us that our beating hearts and
our emotions are interconnected. And when our hearts
are broken by separation, divorce, accidents, death and
other traumatic events we can end up becoming sick with
everything from colds and flu to heart disease and
cancer. Help your audience out with an appearance by
psychotherapist Gillian Padgett, whose love letter to
them will take the form of advice on reducing the drama
of trauma. She’ll say that while we cannot plan ahead
to prepare for accidents, loss and the like, we can
learn three steps for shifting from trauma to well-
being. In other words, we can learn to feel less out-
of-control, unsafe and afraid. Gillian is the author of
“Let Stress Heal Your Life” and “From Trauma to
Tranquility.” Reach her at GPadgett@rtirguests.com

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

There are many experts who believe medical errors are
now the 3rd leading cause of death in the US – behind
cancer and heart disease. How and why is this
happening? Who is to blame? How do we fix it? For
decades, Dr. Ira Williams has been hounding the five
Federal Agencies created to solve the health care
crisis in this country. With over 130 years
collectively between those agencies, our health care
system is still a mess and medical errors leading to
deaths in hospitals continues to rise. As the oldest
medical malpractice expert witness in the country, Dr.
Williams knows what he’s talking about. He’s developed
a system to empower local grassroots activists in each
state to radically change our health care delivery
system. “Organizing statewide grassroots activists to
challenge the current system is the only way to win!”
Dr. Ira Williams latest book is “Healthcare Warriors,
Why and How to Become One”. Contact Dr. Ira Williams at
(864) 479-8613; IWilliams@rtirguests.com

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

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

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

In the near future, robots will be able to perform jobs
ranging from bartending to retail sales and even major
surgery! In fact, China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency
has launched an artificial intelligence TV news anchor,
a world first. “I know a lot of people that make
robots,” says design expert Lorraine Justice. “They’re
so realistic they’re creepy. There’s a lot of fear of
technology and robots.” While robots and other forms of
artificial intelligence will take over many future
jobs, Lorraine will discuss how to prepare for this,
and how to develop skills that will continue to be
relevant in the ever-changing job market. A long-time
educator, Lorraine is dean emeritus of the College of
Imaging Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of
Technology, former director of the School of Design at
Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the author of “The
Future of Design, Global Product Innovation in a
Complex World”. Contact her at
lorrainejustice@gmail.com; (585) 330-7105.

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

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

19. ==> What a Divorced Pastor Learned About Successful
Marriages

When Pastor Eric Hawthorne’s wife asked him for a
divorce, he was stunned, because he thought he was a
good husband. He later learned that he was perhaps too
good. “I am an easy going person and like nothing but
peace,” he says. “If we had disagreements, instead of
standing my ground and letting her know how I felt, I
would be quiet to keep the peace. It was the worst
thing I could have done.” The single dad to two boys
aged 10 and 12 learned his lesson the hard way. Now he
teaches couples on the brink of matrimony how to avoid
his mistakes and forge loving bonds of respect that
lead to successful marriages. Eric Hawthorne is the
second-generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance
Ministries in Richardson, Texas. He’s the author of the
upcoming book “Are You Ready for Marriage?” Contact him

20. ==> Do a Show on Super Grandparenting

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

1. ==> Surviving the Polar Vortex

Much of the nation is under a deep freeze with spots in
the Midwest seeing record-setting temperatures of -25
degrees and below, without factoring in the wind chill!
Conditions are life-threatening says Vidor Friedman,
MD, FACEP, president of the American College of
Emergency Physicians. He says “Even a few minutes in
cold temperatures like this can cause serious risk to
your health. If you must go outside, do so sparingly
and dress appropriately for the cold. Check on your
friends and loved ones and be particularly mindful of
vulnerable people – children, the elderly or people
that may have nowhere safe or warm to go.” Dr.
Friedman will discuss the signs of hypothermia and how
to keep pets safe. And for those hunkering down
indoors, he says, “Don’t forget to check your carbon
monoxide detectors and make sure you’re using heaters
or radiators safely and appropriately.” ACEP is the
national medical specialty society representing
emergency medicine. Contact Mike Baldyga at (202)

2. ==> Busted Pipes? Home Repair Scam Alert

Frozen pipes are just one of the problems homeowners

that opens the door for unscrupulous home repair
people. William Francavilla says thieves know their
victims’ vulnerabilities and seek opportunities to
steal their money. Invite William Francavilla to share
what you can do to avoid being ripped off in a storm-
related repair. Francavilla is the author of “The

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

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

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

Mention the Internal Revenue Service and literally
millions of Americans get fearful and even angry.
Everything about taxes feels challenging, complicated
and stressful. And that happens in years when our
government does NOT shut down! Former IRS agent and tax
expert Richard A. Green says most taxpayers don’t
realize the feared IRS is actually a hotbed of
incompetence and disorder that hurts YOU. Green will
shock audiences when he reveals how the IRS is staffed
by slow-moving staff using antiquated technology.
You’ll hear about IRS miscommunication and lack of
cooperation and why taxpayers miss out because of such
poor service, whether decisions about audits are fair,
and about mismanaged funds in this year of tax
“reform”. Green, who’s seen it firsthand, blows the

8. ==> Why Today’s Kids Won’t Live as Long as Their
Parents

According to CNN, life expectancy in the United States
dropped again in 2016 for the 2nd year in a row. Is
this a trend? It’s certainly concerning, but why is it
happening? Why won’t our kids live as long as their
parents and grandparents? Mylaine Riobe, MD, FACOG,
thinks it’s a trend that will continue – for many
reasons. She says, “The over 200 killers in your home
is one reason why. Your family is placed at risk every
day from the cumulative effect of these poisons and
known cancer causing agents. It’s not fast, it’s slow,
and over time manifests as cancer or some other
disease. And it’s one of the reasons why our kids will
NOT live as long as their parents.” Your audience will
learn about recent reports linking toxins to common
items in our homes, from cereals to soaps, detergents
to air fresheners, even medicines! She says, “Things we
always thought were safe could be slowly killing our
kids.” Dr. Riobe has a multi-faceted unique approach to
medicine combining TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
with conventional medicine. She is the author of “The
Answer to Cancer” and “The Tao of Integrative Medicine”

whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making, or as she likes
to call it, “choice-making”. As a systems analyst, she

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

The industry of medicine, including insurance
companies, Big Pharma, and a medical corporate
structure that appears driven more by profits than
patient consideration, represent a significant problem
in our health care delivery. Doctors are growing
frustrated to the point of leaving the profession.
Nurses and ancillary teams are drowning in over-
documentation and have less time for patient care.
Invite Michael J. Young, M.D., to discuss the
challenges to our health care delivery system gone
awry. A practicing physician (surgeon and Urology
specialist) for three decades, Dr. Young will offer his
insights and explore how America’s health delivery

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

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

Bigly!

Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
high profile, nasty divorces and Pastor and Christian
marriage counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo believes his
marriage to Melania is also doomed. “Trump’s marriage
is not going to end well; his wife will leave him,”
Rev. George says. “He doesn’t have a concept of
marriage. He doesn’t treat women with respect and
esteem them for who they are.” Rev. George should know.

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

better life for loved ones left behind, something she
discovered while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
home where her dad was an undertaker. Invite Margo to
share her fascinating experiences and insights with
your listeners. She says, “A person’s face in death
mirrors their living and their dying,” Margo says. Her
new book, “Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of an
Undertaker’s Daughter”, speaks of both. The book has
received glowing reviews from a number of prominent
authors and spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra,
who says, “Life is not the opposite of death. It is
birth and death that are opposites. Life is the
continuum of birth and death eternally, and now. Read
this engrossing book for your own insights into
reality.” Contact Margo Lenmark at

1. ==> Venezuela: Will Abrams Do What He Did in Guatemala?

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo named Elliot Abrams to
“lead our efforts on Venezuela” as that country teeters
on civil war. On Saturday, after making remarks to the
UN Security Council about Venezuela, Pompeo vacated his
chair and Abrams took over as representing the U.S.
government. Independent journalist Allan Nairn reminds
us that Elliot Abrams was found guilty in the Iran-
Contra scandal and was a leading U.S. backer of right-
wing forces during the 1980s in Guatemala, El Salvador
and Nicaragua, resulting in tens of thousands killed in
1982 in Guatemala alone. He recently tweeted: “Elliott
Abrams does indeed represent longstanding U.S. policy.
The problem is that that policy is to be willing to
abet genocide, as the U.S. did in Guatemala (under
Abrams), as a Guatemalan court ruled last September
after hearing evidence in a genocide trial in which I
testified.” Contact Allan Nairn at allan.nairn@yahoo.org or @AllanNairn14

2. ==> All-Time Best Super Bowl Ads

Super Bowl Sunday isn’t just about football. Fans also
look forward to the food, the half-time entertainment,
and the ads! Leading up to the big game, during and
after, two professors from the Kellogg School of
Management at Northwestern University are available to
discuss the ads, the trends, and what makes for a
successful advertisement in the Super Bowl. For the
15th year in a row professors Derek Rucker and Tim
Calkins, along with 50 students, will grade and rank
the most – and least – effective ads aired during the
game. Ask them: What can viewers expect this year? Why
does a Super Bowl ad cost so much? What are the best
and worst ads from past Super Bowls? How does Super
Bowl advertising reflect the health of the American
economy? Derek Rucker is professor of entrepreneurial
studies at the Kellogg School. Tim Calkins is a
clinical professor of marketing. Contact Molly Lynch at

3. ==> He Inspires Gronk and Will Inspire You Too

New England Patriots’ fans love Rob
Gronkowski—Gronk—the two-time Super Bowl champ rumored
to be retiring this year. Invite Joe Lafferty on your
show and learn why Gronk credits him with being a major
inspiration in his life. You’ll hear what Rob was like
as a 6-ft 6-inch teen playing for Woodland Hills High
School in Pittsburgh, where Joe worked. Joe has
survived cancer, diabetes, vision loss, a pulmonary
embolism, kidney failure, heart surgery, a double organ
transplant and seven minutes of death. Learn Gronk’s
role in Joe’s initial meeting with his organ transplant
donor’s family! Even while he was sick, Joe played high
school and college football and worked for three D-1A
athletic departments, the Orange Bowl and the Dallas
Cowboys. Nicknamed “Coach Laff” and “Coach Ha-Ha,” Joe
coached 14 seasons at his alma mater, which produced 15
future NFL players. Joe’s new book is “Justin Time: A

4. ==> Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2019

Yes, we know it’s Super Bowl week, but football isn’t
the only sport making news. The Baseball Writers
Association of America has officially released its 2019
Hall of Fame voting results. As expected, four players
will be inducted into Cooperstown this July: pitchers
Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay and Mike Mussina, as well
as designated hitter Edgar Martinez. Invite Rick
Cerrone, editor-in-chief of “Baseball Digest” to
discuss the new inductees and what makes them worthy of
a spot in the Hall of Fame. Cerrone was VP of Public
Relations for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1987 through
1993 and Sr. Director of Media Relations for the NY
Yankees from 1996 through 2006. Contact Mark Goldman at

5. ==> The Real Gandalf Lives as a Hermit in the
Foothills of Portugal

Muz Murray lives a simple life in the hills of
Portugal, where he often goes weeks without talking to
another human being. With his long flowing white hair,
beard and mustache, he bears a strong resemblance to
Ian McKellen when he played the wizard Gandalf in “The
Lord of the Rings” movies. But Muz is no movie
character. Ask him: What made him become a hermit after
a lifetime of being pursued by the media? Why is he
willing to do interviews now? How is he helping people
keep their sanity in an insane world? What is his
connection to J.R.R. Tolkien? Born in England and
having lived all over the world, Muz is like no one you
will ever interview. He has worked in the entertainment
industry as an actor and set designer, in the broadcast
industry, as a psychotherapist and a mystic, and even
as an elephant trainer. His latest book is “You Are the
Light: Secrets of the Sages Made Simple.” Contact him

6. ==> Lessons Covington Students Can Teach Us

Last week, the nation’s attention was riveted by a
Washington, D.C. incident pitting a group of teenagers
from a Catholic high school in Kentucky against a
Native American elder and some Black Hebrew Israelites.
In a furor fueled by multiple videos, social media
buzz, and half-cocked news stories, the teenagers, some
wearing MAGA hats, were shamed, vilified and
threatened. “Why the rush to judgment?” asks author
Emily Slingluff. “Why the hatred?” Emily believes she
has the answers and they are surprising. She says it’s
not about politics. “Haters are unhappy weaklings and
bullies whose parents thought it was proper to yell at
and punish them. We have to change the way parents
raise their children.” A child-rearing expert, Emily is
the author of multiple books including “A Primer for
Positive Parenting.” Contact her at (757) 428-6167;
emilyslingluff@aol.com

7. ==> Congress and President Should Pay Fines for
Shutdown

William Hovey Smith believes members of Congress and
the President should be fined for their roles in the
partial government shutdown. The author says lawmakers
should share in the sufferings they inflicted on others
to spur them to never again use shutdowns as a
governmental tool. Specifically, Smith says
congressional members should pay $20,000 for each day
the shutdown lasted, and the president should cough up
$100,00 a day. William Hovey Smith is the author of
several books including “Create Your Own Job Security:
Plan to Start Your Own Business at Midlife” and
“Backyard Deer Hunting: From Deer to Dinner for Pennies
per Pound.” Contact him at hoveysmith@bellsouth.net;
(478) 552-7455.

8. ==> Purdue Rape by Fraud: Closing the Loophole

Lawmakers will soon vote on two bills that can close
the loophole in Indiana’s rape statute by prohibiting
rape by fraud and clarifying the meaning of consent.
The legislation comes a year after a former Purdue
student escaped a guilty verdict on a rape charge—even
after admitting that he’d tricked the victim into
believing he was her boyfriend. Joyce Short, a three-
time sexual assault survivor who spent years studying
consent, worked with legislators on the changes and
says, “If passed, the laws will make it a crime to
deceive a person into sex by disguising your identity,
and address the broader issue of correctly defining
consent in Indiana’s laws.” Short will discuss the
difficulties of strengthening sexual assault laws, how
they vary from state to state, and why the definition
of consent is essential to successfully prosecuting
sexual predators. Short has been featured on Nightline,
BuzzFeed, Inside Edition and more and is releasing her
third book on sexual assault, “Your Consent – The Key
to Conquering Sexual Assault.” Contact her at (917)
517-8572; short.jm@aol.com

9. ==> Black History Month: How Diverse is Your Life?

Sharon Fenster says Black History Month is the perfect
time to take a personal inventory of your relationships
and see how much diversity you have embraced in your
life. Fenster recently put her own life to the test.
“The results were not as reassuring as I had hoped,”
she says, “which drove me to question the reason. It
wasn’t on purpose and I hadn’t realized it until I took
a step back to reflect and confront myself.” She adds,
“’For most of us, having a diverse life is not about
getting it right all the time. It’s a process. Let’s
face it, it is more comfortable to surround ourselves
with the familiar. Making changes like this take
courage and commitment but the rewards are great!”
Fenster will explain what she discovered when examining
her relationships, why experiencing diversity in life
matters, and how to broaden your life to include more
diverse personal and professional relationships. Sharon
Fenster is a brand and marketing strategist and
diversity advocate. She is CEO of Fenster
Communications, Immediate Past-President of the NY
Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America
(PRSA) and a member of the Anti-Racist Alliance, a
movement for racial equity. Contact her at (914)

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

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

11. ==> Could This Be the Reason You Can’t Find Love?

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

esoteric and brings it back down to earth with a big
dose of common sense. Contact her at (917) 994-0225

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

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

13. ==> Easily Organize Your Health History – A Life-
Saving Practice

It makes sense to organize and document your health
history, including: medical conditions, surgeries,
childhood health history, immunizations, allergies,
dental procedures, doctor/E.R. visits, and more. It can
save your life! Invite RN/APRN (nurse practitioner) and
author Anne McAwley-LeDuc to discuss strategies for the
best health journey. Ask her to explore on-air: How can
organizing your health history be easier than keeping
receipts, recipes or mail? Why should you start

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

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

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

Sadly, millions of people hate their jobs and dread
going to work every day. That contributes to work-

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

Why is this old myth still around? It’s the one that
says: “You must attend and finish college to earn the
best career opportunities and future income.” But
Americans are learning that a college degree doesn’t
guarantee wealth, happiness or success. What it does
guarantee is a high price-tag (often tied to years of
difficult student loans) — plus a delay in joining the
workforce. College students can also choose the wrong
major, hate their eventual jobs, or lose to negative
influences (drinking, drugs) common to college
campuses. That’s the message of Joe Swinger, author of
“Awaken the Magic Within” and founder/CEO of Self-
Mastery Leadership Academy. Invite Joe to share
effective 21st Century alternatives to the college run-
around. He’ll introduce your audience to more
affordable learning programs/activities,
entrepreneurial goals and lucrative career paths that
don’t require a time-consuming, expensive college
degree. Ask Joe about his own story of becoming a
successful boss, educator and innovator. Contact him at

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

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

18. ==> Reset Your Health with Yoga

Many people vowed to start 2019 by watching what they
ate, exercising more and paying attention to their
wellness. But just one month into the year they may be
frustrated and backsliding—or placing their trust in
some fad diet. Adelfa Marie Samson has one word for
them: yoga. Listeners may know that yoga’s benefits
include increased flexibility, discipline, stress
relief and physical fitness, but they may not realize a
weekly yoga class won’t get them the balanced life
they’re hoping for if they don’t incorporate diet and
meditation. You’ll learn how to find the right yoga
teacher, which Indian spices you should add to your
diet for their nutritional and curative aspects and
ways to overcome common obstacles to meditation. A
master of her craft, Samson leads retreats globally and
is the lead yoga trainer at Kishore Kendra Trust Yoga
School in Bangalore, India. She is the author of “Yoga
for Daily Living: Balancing Body, Mind and Spirit for
Health, Happiness and Peace.” Contact Adelfa Marie
