Judgement From Your Side Of The Fence

Listen to "Judgement From Your Side Of The Fence" on Spreaker. We all do it. We sit and wonder why some people have more but aren't grateful and or show no respect for having such. When we take note of such behavior we tend to forget there are those doing the same to us. Just because you aren't on a pro sports team and or have buckets of bucks flooding the bankers floor doesn't mean your personal gifts in other peoples eyes don't also draw the same I want that picture. A good example is serving at the homeless shelter. While you spent the afternoon watching others play in their moments of glory the men or women you're serving at the shelter look at you behind the counter realizing you're going home to a comfortable bed and will have breakfast lunch and dinner tomorrow. Same story is true when you sit with a child not grasping the wisdom required to read properly. The new walk should be to think of yourself wearing a pair of contact lenses. When you have a pair in you can move your eyes around and see things. Now shift to a pair of glasses. In order to see you need to move your entire body to look around or you get dizzy. Yes the grass is green on the other side of the fence. It's also very green where you stand. Turn around and inspire someone to grow with you in forward motion.

Ted McGinley

Listen to "Ted McGinley From Gods Not Dead A Light In Darkness" on Spreaker. A church destroyed. A congregation silenced. A relationship shattered. Yet even in life's darkest valleys, a small flame can light the way toward healing and hope. That's the plot and the promise of GOD'S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS, from Pure Flix, the largest independent faith and family film studio in the world. When a deadly fire rips through St. James Church, devastating the congregation and Reverend Dave (David A.R. White), adjoining Hadleigh University uses the tragedy to try and kick the house of worship off campus. Battle lines are quickly drawn between the small church and the community, pitting Rev. Dave against his longtime friend Thomas Ellsworth (Ted McGinley), the university president, while further estranging college student Keaton (Samantha Boscarino), a member of St. James' campus ministry, from the Christian faith she has come to question. Facing a court case and his own struggle to see Christ's light in heartbreak, Rev. Dave asks for help from his estranged brother Pearce (John Corbett), a big-city lawyer turned atheist, to fight for his brother's church to rebuild. The family reunion opens old wounds, as the brothers wrestle with the questions that pulled them apart years ago: Is God really good all the time? Where is God when bad things happen? Can Christ really heal the brokenhearted? Even while grappling with these personal issues, Rev. Dave must face another dilemma, turning to his former protégé Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper) for wisdom in answering the thorniest practical question before him: Can Christians fight for their rights and still be a loving example for Christ at the same time? These questions aren't just at the core of the film - they're at the forefront of society, notes actor David A.R. White. "In our culture right now there is a lot of fighting going on. Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, left side, ride side, nobody seems to be able to get along and there's a lot of dissention," he says. "So we wanted to shine a light on this, but in a GOD'S NOT DEAD way: filled with hope and healing and forgiveness." GOD'S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS stars David A.R. White (GOD'S NOT DEAD, REVELATION ROAD), John Corbett (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, ALL SAINTS), Ted McGinley (DO YOU BELIEVE?, Married.with Children), Shane Harper (GOD'S NOT DEAD, Good Luck Charlie), Jennifer Taylor (Two and a Half Men), Benjamin Onyango (GOD'S NOT DEAD, GOD'S NOT DEAD 2), Gregory Alan Williams (REMEMBER THE TITANS, Greenleaf), with special appearances by gospel legend Dr. Cissy Houston (mother of the late chart-topping superstar Whitney Houston) and Academy Award® winner Tatum O'Neal (PAPER MOON, THE BAD NEWS BEARS). The film is written and directed by Michael Mason, and produced by Michael Scott, David A.R. White, Elizabeth Travis, Alysoun Wolfe, and Bittany Yost.

Edward Rosenfeld

Listen to "Edward Rosenfeld Book Of Highs" on Spreaker. Despite the recent legalization of medical and recreational marijuana in some states, the emergence of new medical research that uses psychedelics to treat anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and the rise of microdosing psychedelics, the legalization of these methods is still far from widespread. With THE BOOK OF HIGHS Edward Rosenfeld is your dealer and getting high has never been more legal—or more fascinating! For more information: http://bookofhighs.com/ About the author: EDWARD ROSENFELD is an author, consultant, and innovator. His newsletter (INTELLIGENCE The Future of Computing), which ran monthly from 1984 to 2017, was the first to cover the history and development of neural networks and artificial intelligence. As a consultant and eventual Associate Director with Columbia University’s intellectual property operation, Science and Technology Ventures, he licensed (as intellectual property) inventions and discoveries in computer science, nanotechnology, mathematics, network theory and other sciences to industry and government. He was also a founding editor for the science/science fiction magazine, Omni, and served as a consultant for Viacom, NASA, American Express, and more. His screenplay, MKULTRA, has been adapted for the opera as “Huxley’s Last Trip”. His new website is worldworking.net. Rosenfeld’s interest in altered states of consciousness and reality was first sparked when he was a small child ill with scarlet fever. This illness induced unreal feelings and experiences that were not like those of his ordinary waking consciousness. When he was older, he saw parallel experiences described in literature and in psychology texts.

The Actuality Of Potential And Possibility

Listen to "The Actuality Of Potential And Possibility" on Spreaker. We get it, two plus one always equals three and yet through the strength of our imaginations we want to believe there's more to the equation. Maybe not by way of math but through the presence of everything connected. I love not knowing. It charges up my system of thinking. It makes me aware of what I don't know but need to experience so that it can be passed forward. I guess that's the teacher in me. I'll never forget the opening moments of learning how to turn Adobe Audition into more than a tool. It became a way of life. The ability to take spoken words and turn it into an object that moves people has always been mind blowing to me. Jokingly I've always said that I have more ability than a Southern preacher. What they deliver by way of a Sunday morning message barely reaches the third hour after it's been delivered whereas what I produce by way of commercials influences listeners to purchase a car, a dishwasher or have dinner at a hot new restaurant. Reaching beyond two plus one teaches everyone of us that who we are in the present always has the ability to live outside the access of possibility. Pretty weird to think that right? Accessing your imagination is one thing. Utilizing it's potential and how it arrives in another persons purpose is a classic example of being available for a new moment to occur. The Rolling Stones knew Satisfaction was going to be a monster of a hit. What they didn't realize is how Millennial's have made all music their soundtrack. Taking what you don't know and turning it into an experience held in the grip of a passerby. It's not impossible. You aren't empty. Everyday you are given the path to succeed. It's by choice that we don't grow forward and outward.

Kaleb Lee

Listen to "Kaleb Lee From NBC's The Voice" on Spreaker. Kaleb has always turned to music as a hobby and an emotional outlet as his biological father left before he could remember.

Song: "Don't Do Me Like That" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Benjamin Carter Hett

Listen to "Benjamin Carter Hett Death Of Democracy" on Spreaker. Benjamin Carter Hett is a history professor whose new book, THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY (Henry Holt, April 3rd, 2018) tackles the mystery of how Germany’s successful Democracy, known as the Weimar Republic, collapsed into one of the most vicious dictatorships in modern history. Germany erected a state-of-the-art democracy after World War I, which defended individual liberties from gay rights to women’s suffrage. But this democracy was undermined by bitter divisions in society, which were then exploited by conservative interest groups determined to sabotage the Republic. Drawing on original research from German archives and publications, author Hett shows how a small cadre of military and political conservatives thought they could use Hitler’s Nazi party as a Trojan horse to stoke control the public. But in the wake of two weak elections, the conservatives found they had no choice but to elect Hitler as Chancellor, believing he could be deposed afterward. It never occurred to them that they might be outmaneuvered at their own game, letting Hitler seize power to expand upon his noxious nativism.

Richard Lanni and Logan Lerman

Listen to "Richard lanni and Logan Lerman From Sgt Stubby" on Spreaker. Before he was a hero, Stubby was homeless, unwanted, unwashed and unloved, scrounging for scraps on the streets of New Haven, Conn. in 1917 - Until he was taken in by Private First Class Robert Conroy of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, 26th “Yankee” Division. Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero is based on the incredible true story of the unbreakable bond between a young Soldier and a stray dog who, for his valorous feats, is still recognized today as the first dog promoted to the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Army, the most decorated dog in American history and is widely considered the forerunner to the U.S. Army’s working dog program. Set against the backdrop of the United States’ entry into World War I, this computer-animated feature shows the world that the greatest heroes can come from the unlikeliest of places in a heartwarming “tail” for the entire family. ​ Award-winning documentarian Richard Lanni’s feature film directorial debut stars Logan Lerman (Fury, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Percy Jackson & The Olympians), Helena Bonham Carter (the upcoming Ocean’s 8, the Harry Potter films, The King’s Speech, Sweeney Todd) and Gérard Depardieu (Life of Pi, Cyrano De Bergerac, The Man in the Iron Mask, Green Card).

I Am Water

Listen to "I Am Water" on Spreaker. Say it five times, "I am water." Water has flow. From that purpose faith, trust, love and peace are allowed to grow in areas of a bigger plan. It always doesn't work that way. We find reason to become beavers. Beavers build dams which tend to back things up, sometimes flooding some very valuable chunks of land. In the end and upon the bigger picture the water didn't stop. It still found reason to flow forward. "I am water." Believe in the moment. Take in the elements of your present place and step. If something is blocking you from reaching a chapter of victory you are still water. I read this morning that trust is a question. It's not something that we aimlessly give away like love. Trust physically requires an answer in order to proceed. You can love all day but do you trust what you love? That's where faith shines it's oddly shaped smile. For the past six weeks my world has been turned upside down by a co-dependent rescued dog that has severe anxiety during moments of departure. Before we were blessed with her path four different families returned her to the animal rescue. Never once have I felt the energy to create a path leading in that direction. "I am water." Sure my house needs repair. But my home is blessed with tremendous amounts of forgiveness and love. She absolutely has been a beaver in my stream but in learning to love and trust she's grown away from the destructive behavior which has allowed my mind body and soul to feel the presence of love and peace. "I am water." If life sucks at your job prepare yourself for learning to understand what your boss or co-workers are going through in their moments of a private life. What if what you bring in your flow of water is their only way to locate love and peace? The Beatles were four individuals that happened to create harmony. That's exactly how you have to hold love and peace and trust and faith. Grow forward and outward.

Peter Swanson

Listen to "Peter Swanson All The Beautiful Lies" on Spreaker. In ALL THE BEAUTIFUL LIES…days before his college graduation, Harry Ackerson is devastated by the news of his father’s death in a freak accident. Harry returns to his father’s home in Maine to help his stepmother Alice with the funeral arrangements and provide a shoulder for her to lean on. Harry had always considered Alice beautiful, after all, she was much younger than her father and closer to him in age and it was almost impossible to not be physically attracted to her. Trying to get his father’s affairs in order, Harry meets a mysterious young woman named Grace McGowan at the bookstore his father owned. Though she claims to be new to the area, Harry begins to suspect that Grace may not be a stranger to his family. Meanwhile, the more time he spends with Alice, the closer they become. When Alice suddenly crosses the line, coming on to Harry, in an enticing, clearly sexual way, Harry is shaken, unsure of his true feelings for Alice. Mesmerized by these two women, Harry finds himself falling deeper under their spell. Yet the closer he gets to them, the more isolated he feels, disoriented by a growing fear that both women are hiding dangerous—even deadly—secrets . . . and that neither one is telling the truth. ALL THE BEAUTIFUL LIES is a diabolically clever tale of passion, obsession, revenge, and cold-blooded murder—a sly and brilliant guessing game of a novel and Peter Swanson at his best. Not since Alex boiled a bunny in the classic hit film Fatal Attraction has a slow-burn thriller so vividly painted the agony and ecstasy of pure magnetism grown into obsession. Peter Swanson has created an evocative and sensual world with a plot that builds on the sexual tension created from stolen glances and discreet embraces to create a crescendo that will shock even the most perceptive reader. Peter Swanson’s debut, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart, which the Washington Post called, “compulsively readable,” featured Liana, one of Swanson’s most manipulative characters. And in The Kind Worth Killing, Swanson introduced readers to Lily, dubbed “my favourite sociopath” by the Daily Mail. Otto Penzler, one of the most discerning critics of the genre said, “Swanson has quickly established himself as today’s master of the suspense novel.”

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 104

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 104" on Spreaker. Returning to your places of inspiration. It's not an act of conceit but rather rejuvenation and or a reminder of where you once stood before your mind body and soul were challenged to change. In 2015 I began a journey of writing at the Billy Graham Library never knowing that it would one day become an iHeart Radio Channel. I felt in my heart that I was being called to speak a language that was foreign to those present day steps. Faithfully I walked into that forest to hear the word of God. Which sounds like a silly idea in a modern day state of living where so many have walked away from religion. Which is the very reason why I clearly state that these are not my words but rather the lyrics from Billy's forest. Being a writer doesn't mean I come up with the ideas. The only thing I can credit is my passion to sit listening to all things moving around me then documenting it as it flows through the situation present in the presence of now. Pretty far out there right? In 2016 the journey opened the door for me to write in other forests. Could another collection of trees still provide the messages I was feeling at the library? Yes! The spirit of the universe is very much alive and extremely willing to share in all areas of the walk. In chapter 104 I return to the library but something new and different is there. Staying focused as a writer was extremely important and yet I knew that everyday forward the words were probably going to change but not the reason for being part of this writing season.

Cutter Wood

Listen to "Cutter Wood Love And Death In The Sunshine State" on Spreaker. LOVE AND DEATH IN THE SUNSHINE STATE: The Story of a Crime by 1st time author Cutter Wood is, like Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, a searing blend of the documentary and the literary. As Wood embeds himself in the investigation of the mysterious murder, he comes to explore not only the circumstances leading up to a woman’s death, but the very heart of darkness that can lead love down a nameless path. The crime at the center of the story is the murder of Sabine Musil-Buehler, the owner of a local motel on Anna Maria Island off Florida’s gulf coast. Author Cutter Wood, freshly graduated from college and at loose ends, had been a guest at the motel just a few months before it was set on fire and Sabine went missing. When Sabine’s blood-covered stolen car is recovered by the police, they begin digging up the beach. Three men are named persons of interest—her husband, her absent boyfriend, and the man who stole the car. Wood returns to Anna Maria and is drawn steadily deeper into the case. As his personal investigation advances—an investigation that soon goes well beyond mere facts—he finds himself driven to understand the intimate details of a relationship and how they could lead to murder.

Pryor Baird

Pryor is excited to be here at "The Voice" to keep chasing his music dreams.

Move Your Dirt

Listen to "Move Your Dirt" on Spreaker. I've always been fascinated by dirt. As a child I'd fill up a wagon full of dirt. Mold it to look like mountains then slowly turn on the garden hose by way of creating a moving river. Watching the particles of dirt move inspired me to pay close attention to how all things and elements make their way through us and beyond. Dirt is very important to a lot of living things. Growing up in Montana meant learning how to garden huge lays of land while irrigating the fields that would soon become hay for the cattle and others wanting to be fed. If the dirt wasn't right multiple layers of living creatures were going to be affected as well as infected. What are you doing with the soil in your personal life? Is it being listened to or fortified by the existence of spiritual nourishment? Your mind body and soul serves as a stream. What you learn today isn't for today but rather to be taught down the river. How you learn today isn't added weight to your everyday because the way it's given to you isn't always the most pleasant feeling and or experience. A great friend and I were blessed to be invited to perform radio shows on a very dinky radio station in a town no bigger than a tooth. Neither one of us stood in shame and or judgement. We looked at the invitation as being part of the bigger plan for broadcasting. It's the digital age and most of the performers on the air today have no clue how to survive when their number is up. Oh it's coming but ego keeps them from learning the new tricks of the trade. It's no different then newspaper and even banking. The river constantly flows with particles of dirt marching right along with it. If you don't study the method of madness you'll be stealing someone's soil tomorrow. You don't have to believe in God to know we are in the center of evolution. Gripping it's truth is a reason to grow a mountain. But if you study the shape of a rolling hill it too moves.

Be The First In Sharing Peace

Listen to "Be The First In Sharing Peace" on Spreaker. The title pretty much sets up the day. A global issue is our quick action and reaction to bringing judgement against others. The moment something or someone doesn't fit into our moment the doors of poking at fly open. It's OK to say,"Not me. I don't do that." But we do. Especially against ourselves. So how do we begin a process of being less pushy and or demanding of others? It's in the title. Be the first to share peace. Stop generating the energy that creates pieces and know what peace truly does in the mind body and soul of others. If we openly admit that locating peace on a daily basis is a huge chore and or something that feels like punishment. Imagine what it must feel like when someone offers us peace first. You have to know its image before you can grow its fruit. Offer peace first. What if you aren't in the mood to offer peace? Peace is like a yawn. Wishing someone peace ignites your deepest darkness into believing there can be peace. Sharing it first prepares your soil to receive it. Think of it this way. When reasons to judge and or harm others with our words appears on the tips of our lips, the person that its aimed at easily tunes you out. They get to walk away while you hold onto the weight. Offer peace first. Grow forward and outward.

Confidence is the most necessary and the most elusive tool for girls today figuring out who they are and how they can succeed. Breaking down myths of perfectionism and other ideas that stifle girls from action, Kay and Shipman provide the wisdom needed to overcome that dangerous voice in your head that says you can't succeed.

Kristin Casey

Listen to "Kristin Casey Rock Monster" on Spreaker. Far from bitter or self-pitying, Rock Monster is an honest account of one woman's life-changing experience in a relationship with rock legend Joe Walsh. At once envious, glamorous, debauched and disturbing, it's her long and winding journey from life in the fast lane to sobriety and redemption. Set in the late-eighties and nineties, these are some of Walsh's darkest years, from spiraling addiction to a stunning comeback with the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over tour. Loaded with true stories never before heard, Rock Monster is essential reading for classic rock fans and anyone touched by addiction. Kristin Casey pulls no punches, sharing gritty details with self-awareness, humor, and affection. Sharply written, bold and incisive, it's the worldly-wise tome only an ex-addict, ex-stripper, and ex-rock-chick could give us. You'll also read about interesting run-ins with luminaries like Ringo Starr, Bonnie Raitt, Jack Nicholson, and Stevie Nicks--but the prose is also written with the world-wise humor of a true survivor. In the tradition of women-in-rock survivor tales―think Marianne Faithful, Crystal Zevon, Jo Wood et al.―Kristin Casey pulls a veil on the enduring myth of the lifestyle's glamorous decadence. Rock Monster is a sexy, crazy, cautionary tale of two addicts in love without a single relationship skill. Told with an aching straightforward vulnerability, peppered with massive superstars and seedy hangers-on, this addictive spiral catapults you into what life with an unpredictable rock god is really like. Hooked on each other, the booze fueled muse and her man, Joe Walsh, take "monstering" to a harrowing level. The writing is so good it feel like spending a chatty couple of weeks with your wildest best friend, spilling oh so many scintillating secrets."-Pamela Des Barres, New York Times bestselling author of I'm with the Band and Take Another Little Piece of My Heart "No vantage point is better than the one on the inside. KC was on the front lines of one of rock's most decadent eras. She tells her story with skill and detail that will stay with the reader a very long time."-Marc Eliot, New York Times bestselling author of To The Limit: The Untold Story of the Eagles "Kristin Casey's moving, honest, and powerful story takes us into a world we've all dreamed of being inside-the excitement of life with a famous rockstar, the drugs, the sex, and the romance-and pulls back the curtain to reveal what actually happens backstage."-Kerry Cohen, author of Loose Girl "Rock Monster gives an unflinchingly honest, crisply detailed look into Casey's years as a young stripper dating a famous rock star. It's everything you ever wondered about that life and more. Her writing is so intimate and revealing that you almost feel guilty, as if you're reading somebody's diary. Her spot on descriptions of the yearnings, the urge to please, her own feelings of inadequacy as well as the insidious slide into drug addiction amidst the glamorous touring life makes this a must read."-Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean "This ain't no fanboy account, it's the genuine lived experience of Walsh's most intimate relationship. And while you're there check out the pictures! (Walsh may be crazy, but he ain't that crazy!)"-Adam "Slowpoke" Temple, Austin guitarist, The Scabs "I knew I was gonna love this book the moment I got to the line, 'Can we please f**k normally now?' And that was within the first dozen or so pages. I mean seriously, what more do you want from a whirlwind romance between a stripper and a rock star? You want drugs, too? Well you're in luck, fancypants. It's like they raided Hunter S. Thompson's personal stash, and then f**ked like demons. If this isn't what constitutes great literature anymore, then I give up. If nothing else, read this book and the next time 'Life's Been Good' comes on the radio, you can smile knowingly to everyone around you and say, 'You guys have NO idea.'" -Eric Spitznagel, author if Old Records Never Die: One Man's Quest For His Vinyl and His Past

Dash Cooper

Listen to "Dash Cooper From Co-Op" on Spreaker. No strangers to performance, CO-OP brings a big, powerful sound to their show. Forming in 2014, CO-OP began gathering a small following in the local Phoenix scene. Within a few years, having shared a stage with rock legends like Motley Crue, The Hollywood Vampires and Alice Cooper, CO-OP is expanding their influence beyond Arizona and even outside the United States.

Not content to stick only to pursuing their careers in music, CO-OP often puts their skills to work helping raise funds for Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Center.

The D Word

Listen to "The D Word" on Spreaker. My Mother isn't afraid of the D word. She just doesn't use it as part of her vocabulary. Her method of thinking looks to have found a continuation in me. On today's show I read from April 22, 2016. The daily writer speaks clearly about the loss of Prince. But never within the presented paragraphs does he mention how he has passed. As a writer I drew readers into a picture of memories extending their strings beyond the legacy. There weren't going to be any new concerts or extremely creative interviews on YouTube but Prince did record music as often as he could. I always found it to be quite inspiring that he'd put everything in the vault. Michael Jackson did the same. Creative energy isn't supposed to be a feeder of this moment only. To wave goodbye to somebody is truly not seeing who they were as a person beyond a simple conversation. So I ask on The Choice today what you've done or are doing in your walk forward that will find life beyond the final breath. I'm not shy to admit that my relationship with my father Joe is stronger in the years after then it was when I could pick up the phone and talk about whatever made him laugh. But I've never used the D word when describing that relationship. Lets look at it through the eyes of being an employee. Everything you are today is the continuation of what someone shared with you while growing into this moment. I've been blessed with a 40 year broadcast career and everything I write, produce and perform today is a lesson learned along the way. Bosses totally tormented me during those younger years and yet today I see them as heroes. Try it out sometime. Look beyond the D word. Find a new field to plant what you've been given. What if today life truly begins?

Dan Jurgens

Listen to "Dan Jurgens Talks Action Comics 1000" on Spreaker. In 1938, DC Comics unveiled Action Comics, the comic book that not only introduced the world to the term “superhero,” but also a certain red- and blue-suited alien (better known as Superman) who would become one of the most famous characters in history.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 103

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 103" on Spreaker. I think we'd be fibbing if we shouted out, "I never say things like I truly don't know where I am right now." The problem with modern day technology is the lack of GPS systems that put the right direction in our daily decisions and choices. One minute cannot be compared to another. Hitting walls is our natural walk. Instead of walking through it the decision is to go around or back off all together. What if that's not where you should've grown? My Master in Martial Arts used to tell me to stop trying to remove the mountain. I was to figure out how to get through it. That always shot me back to my childhood. My Grandfather was part of the work crew that helped cut a path through the mountains surrounding Bozeman Montana. Each time we flew by that hole in the mountain my heart ignited because I knew a piece of my Grandfather was still alive in me. Rather than tell yourself how lost you might be feeling in the moment, put focus on where your present place is growing. In 1997 I heard in my heart to plant 15 hundred trees in my forest here in South Charlotte, NC. Twenty one years later only 18 stand about fifteen or a little more feet tall. Wow the numbers don't seem right. The energy required to plant 15 hundred trees versus nearly twenty catching a Carolina spring breeze. You can't look at the moment of confusion or self doubt. You have to see the entire painting provided. The forest only needed 18 trees to keep its soil fresh and not over populated. There's enough energy to share rather than steal. Your personal life is no different. You're going in every direction designed by a need to succeed or just be noticed. How many seedlings have you planted that have lifted your game above the business world floor? Study the strength of the survivor while finding inspiration in the moments where you feel lost. That should be a signal to your heart telling the rest of you "I am aware." Grow through that strength by taking notes. Then activate them. Don't expect fruit to suddenly appear. Believe in the process of creating rings in the center of a tree.

Nell Scovell

Listen to "Nell Scovell Just The Funny Parts" on Spreaker. Bette Midler says she's "one of the funniest people I know." Garry Shandling told her, "You write like a guy." Her words have come out of the mouths of President Barack Obama, David Letterman, Homer Simpson, Sheryl Sandberg, and Kermit the Frog. You've almost certainly laughed at Nell Scovell's jokes-you just didn't know it until now. For over thirty years, writer, producer and director Nell Scovell has worked behind the scenes on some of TV's most iconic shows, including The Simpsons, Late Night with David Letterman, Murphy Brown, Monk, NCIS and The Muppets. She was the creator and showrunner of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and later teamed up with Sheryl Sandberg on her blockbuster book Lean In, which resulted in a worldwide movement. In JUST THE FUNNY PARTS: . And a Few Hard Truths About Sneaking into the Hollywood Boys' Club (March 20, 2018; Dey Street Books), Scovell dives deep into her favorite things-comedy, writing and equality-in a timely and relevant book. Readers will find lots of insider information about the making of pop culture and working with celebrities such as Mark Harmon, Alyssa Milano, The Smothers Brothers, Bob Newhart, and Conan O'Brien, among many others. Scovell started her career as a sports writer at the Boston Globe and later became the first staff writer hired at SPY magazine which ushered in the "snark ages." She also knows how to tell a good story. Through her eyes, you'll experience an awkward encounter with Larry David at a book party. a sweet romance with Mystery Science Theater 3000's Joel Hodgson that doesn't turn out quite as planned. writing jokes for President Obama.arranging playdates with Albert Brooks.pinning a tail on Miss Piggy.and a Stephen King-like encounter with Stephen King. For three decades, Scovell happily worked behind-the-scenes, keeping a low profile, while advocating for change. Then in 2009, the David Letterman sex scandal broke. Having been the second female writer ever to work on the show, Scovell felt compelled to address Late Night's sexual favoritism and hostile environment toward women in a widely-read piece for Vanity Fair. The article called out all the late-night shows for the lack of diversity in their writers' rooms. Since then, Scovell has continued to be a loud and public voice, advocating for women and minorities in op-eds for the New York Times and the Washington Post. JUST THE FUNNY PARTS offers a candid look at a male-dominated and highly-competitive entertainment industry. As Sheryl Sandberg writes in her foreword, "Her story is inspiring, not because she was unstoppable, but because when she did get stopped, she found ways to keep writing, continue being creative, and always but always, laugh." Now Scovell speaks out for the first time to discuss the aftermath of the Letterman scandal and to share her own #metoo story. But mostly, she shares hilarious observations, sharp insights, personal photos, memorabilia, and hard-earned wisdom. JUST THE FUNNY PARTS is a fast-paced account of a bookish girl from New England who grew up loving science fiction, sports and Monty Python and fought her way to the top of the entertainment field. Or as she puts it, "It's like Unbroken . . . but funnier and with slightly less torture."

Kyla Jade

Listen to "Kyla Jade From NBC's The Voice" on Spreaker. Kyla's voice was born in church and developed its power through performingin gospel choirs.

Today, Hudson supports Kyla, pushes her and has been a huge motivatorfor Kyla to come audition for "The Voice."

Utilizing What You Believe

Listen to "Utilizing What We Believe" on Spreaker. Being a daily writer invites me to also be a daily listener. I love sitting in open spaces paying close attention to how people share their methods of conversation. Sure its the radio guy in me looking for newer ways to communicate without having to rely on too many words or overused methods of inflection. In these moments of listening as well as writing the one thing heard the most is how people tend to say, "Well I believe." Which is nothing more than what we in radio call a crutch. "Well I believe." You believe what? How to make it easier for people to wake up early in the morning and arrive at work on time? Learning how to utilize the energy of what you believe opens the path for you to grow in newer directions? I'm not saying to go out and take on your boss's method of discovery or to mishandle a family relationship. The invitation is to study what it is that you believe and allow it to be an action more than a verbal reaction. We all have beliefs but very few of us physically put fuel in them then take it for a test ride. Preachers do all they can to share what they believe only to see their circles drop Jesus off at the front door. That's not supposed to be how it works but unless we are challenged to activate the notes jotted down, the weekly lesson becomes part of the noise. Well what I believe. Oh boy here we go. See we're all guilty! What I believe is that we spend way too much time measuring. We do a lot of comparing only to be hit in the heart with self judgement because most of us can't live up to our own expectations. Your boss isn't the jerk. The actuality of your accountability is a measurement and with each passing day the further you are from attaining your goal, decisions are constructed by what you say you believe without truly activating the physical belief. I write every day. Been doing it since July 1994. I believe writing is a physical as well as mental discipline that utilizes the energy of what we believe. It doesn't give me permission to preach it but I'm willing in the way of teaching it. What do you truly believe? Stop just saying it. Share it through methods of planting seeds in the center of a field and watching it produce fruit.

Michael Nesmith

Listen to "Mike Nesmith Infinite Tuesday Now In Paperback" on Spreaker. If all Michael Nesmith had ever accomplished was being cast as "Mike" in The Monkees, he'd be justifiably famous. But Nez's story is so much more than that-deep, surprising, remarkable, a true seeker's journey. The Monkees' may have elevated him to pop culture legend, but the full arc of his eclectic, electric life tells an altogether different and more powerful story, taking him from a childhood in Dallas (where his single mother, Bette, invented Liquid Paper) to Hollywood, to the heart of swinging London with John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix, to participating in the birth of what would become MTV, to producing the cult classic Repo Man and working in the world of virtual reality as the Counter Culture led to the Cyberculture. With his refreshingly uncommon book, INFINITE TUESDAY: An Autobiographical Riff (Three Rivers Press, April 17, 2018), now available in paperback, Nesmith brings that unexpected life-and the ideas that animated it-into full bloom, a startling bouquet of comedy, pathos, and the occasional trip to an alternate dimension. Influenced in equal parts by the consciousness-expanding ambitions of Timothy Leary and the cerebral humor of Douglas Adams, Nesmith writes of key moments in his life centered on "bands," not just of the musical kind, but also of groups of people committed to the same ideas and principles. Whether these formed around music, art, television-and whether they emerged during creative peaks or delusional depths-they proved powerful forces that helped Nesmith plug in to the energy that has repeate, Nesmith has written a book that, while it has its share of illuminating stories of celebrity (and the attendant "Celebrity Psychosis"), is at its heart a book of ideas-about faith and creativity, ego and humility, and the power of coming together with the right groups of people in the right moments. Funny, thoughtful, and utterly unique, INFINITE TUESDAY is a journey toward enlightenment, one man's decades-long pilgrimage in search of a set of principles to live by.

Christine Lahti

Listen to "Christine Lahti True Stories From An Unreliable Eyewitness" on Spreaker. For nearly 40 years the Emmy, Oscar, and Golden Globe winning actress and director Christine Lahti has captivated the hearts and minds of her audience through iconic roles in Chicago Hope, Running on Empty, Housekeeping, And Justice for All, Swing Shift, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, God of Carnage, and The Blacklist. Now, in TRUE STORIES FROM AN UNRELIABLE EYEWITNESS: A Feminist Coming of Age (Harper Wave, April 10, 2018; ISBN: 978-06-266367-2; $26.99; 224 pages) Lahti shares her story in this heartbreaking and hilarious collection of interrelated personal essays. In this poignant collection, Lahti focuses on three major periods of her life: her childhood, her early journey as an actress and activist, and the realities of her life as a middle-aged woman in Hollywood today. In TRUE STORIES, Lahti recalls leaving her comfortable suburban home in Birmingham, MI and entering college in 1968, where her eyes became open to the sexism and misogyny all around her-no longer something to be accepted as "the way things are." She writes about her early years in NYC, pursuing acting and struggling to make a living-as a waitress, as a mime (yes, a mime), and even working for a "professional dating service." It's where Lahti began to learn the difference between suspension of belief (a skill that would later help her on stage) vs naivete i.e. "being that gullible young woman with stars in her eyes and sweaty armpits who desperately wanted to believe she was so much more than just someone's escort." Lahti recounts stories of how she made her way in show business, despite the sexist culture. In "Walking" she shares the life-changing moment when a casting director promised her work on two national commercials-IF she'd have sex with the director. In "S**t Happens," she examines her need for perfection and her struggle to balance making a living with being a responsible artist--one who tries to only put positive three-dimensional images of women out into the world (during a time when many of the "good" parts in film and television were demeaning to women). The chapter culminates in her 2008 Golden Globe win, during which she was in the bathroom when her name was announced. Yes, s**t happens. In the incredibly funny "What I Wish I'd Know About Love Scenes" Lahti dishes about what really goes into the love scenes we see on screen and reveals who some of her favorites have been (including Al Pacino, Bradley Cooper, among others). Lahti also shares deeply personal stories about her roles as mother, wife, and daughter. In "Kidnapped" she writes with raw honesty about her miscarriage and the difficult early days of being a new mother and finding her way as a parent. In "Mamma Mia," she recounts the heartbreaking suicide of her bipolar sister. And in "Brother" she shares details about the complicated relationship with her brother, whose borderline personality disorder threw their family into havoc for years. "These are the stories that altered me in some way. They chronicle events when something inside me stirred or quaked. They were a shift in my focus. A tremor up my spine. A hot flash of injustice, of shame. A humble reckoning with my own imperfections. An acceptance. A forgiveness. A way to survive," writes Lahti. TRUE STORIES is about the power of storytelling to affirm and reframe the bedrock of who we are, revealing that we're all unreliable eyewitnesses when it comes to our deeply personal memories. But it's Lahti's raw authenticity that actually makes her a reliable narrator. Told in a wildly fresh, unique voice, and with the unshakable ability to laugh at herself time and again, this is Christine Lahti's best performance yet.

Venus

Listen to "Venus On The Strength Of Digital Awareness" on Spreaker. Can we call our selves the uncertainty generation? All this talk about who's spying on who on the internet has created yet another line in the sand. More places to take up space without truly grasping onto how the digital numbers affect more than advertisers and political figures. In this episode of The Broadcasters Platform, students from an authentic Broadcast campus meet up with Venus who's experiences in media have grown from print to this new age of digital data. Some students sat in doubt due to a feeling of being insecure of how much information is out there about us. Venus explores the positives of that information while going into conversation with a physical criminal investigator that depends on digital imprints to help solve crimes.

Geraldo Rivera

Listen to "Geraldo Rivera The Geraldo Show" on Spreaker. In public life for half a century, my image and reputation have had more ups and downs than the Cyclone roller coaster at Coney Island. I have been called savior and sinner, fool and wise man, crusader and exploiter, hot head and dope. I am routinely scorned, admired, beloved, and belittled. The opinions are usually based on when they tuned in. Were you around for my early days as a crusading local newsman? Did you waste an evening inside Al Capone's empty vault? Were you watching when the bombs dropped in Afghanistan or Iraq, or did you tune into the raucous talk show when my nose got broken in the best television studio brawl ever caught on tape? Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, and my employment by the conservative rabble-rousers of Fox News, and, more recently, with the coming of the Age of Trump, my professional life has been even more difficult to define. How could a sincerely progressive native-born Jew Rican New Yorker like me ever work for an outfit better suited to the vibes of Orange County, California, the Dixie, Appalachia, or the Mountain West? How could I not condemn and obstruct a wrecking ball like Donald Trump? Over five decades, I have met most of the era's good and bad guys, from Ronald Reagan to Charles Manson, Fidel Castro to Yasser Arafat, and Muhammad Ali to John Lennon. Two figure heavily in this book, both longtime friends. Roger Ailes is the disgraced yet undeniably brilliant creator of Fox News. Donald Trump, once a flamboyant playboy, billionaire businessman, is now 45th President of the United States. Now at the vigorous twilight of my career, I have nothing left to prove, and time has both enlightened and humbled me. In this book, I speak frankly about my failures and successes, my humiliations and triumphs. Throughout my career, I've done my best to provide you with groundbreaking journalism and great entertainment. In this book, I've tried to provide both . . . and a few life lessons, as well.

Peter Schweizer

Listen to "Peter Schweizer Secret Empires" on Spreaker. Peter Schweizer: America's Top Politicians Have Discovered The Scam to End All Scams - New Book Secret Empires: How Our Politicians Hide Corruption and Enrich Their Families and Friends Reveals The Newest Form of Corruption in Washington, Involving Larger Sums of Money than Ever Before A Deep Look at Corruption by Proxy: Invisible Foreign Money Deals Channeled Through Family Members, Hidden from Public View The author who wrote Clinton Cash and sparked an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation is now set to launch his highly anticipated investigative follow-up. On March 20, Harper will publish Peter Schweizer's Secret Empires: How Our Politicians Hide Corruption and Enrich Their Families and Friends. Secret Empires will expose vast corruption by top Washington figures who leverage their political power to enrich their family members and friends, often by helping grease deals with foreign entities. In Secret Empires, Schweizer reveals: . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao's deep relationship with China. How, as McConnell's hardline position softened, money flowed, not only doubling their net worth, but placing a family member on the board of the government-run, powerful Bank of China ten days after Trump's election-and two more family members on the board of one of the Chinese government's largest military contractors. . The Smash and Grab: How President Barack Obama enriched his friends by smashing certain sectors with outrageous regulations, dramatically driving down their valuations (sometimes to pennies on the dollar). Who would come in and buy up these companies on the cheap? Some of President Obama's oldest and dearest friends. You won't believe what happens next. . Presidential children weren't always under intense scrutiny. For the first time, Schweizer shines a light on how the son and stepson of Joe Biden and John Kerry scored billion dollar deals with foreign governments as their dads shaped foreign policy. Ten days after Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard AIR FORCE TWO to China, Hunter and John Kerry's stepson, Chris Heinz, closed a one billion dollar deal with a subsidiary of the Bank of China. Unbelievably, more mega deals will follow. . The Trump children are without a doubt, according to Schweizer, targets of foreign governments. Schweizer previews how foreign entities can make inroads with Jared, Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and the Trump Organization to attempt to curry favor with the current administration, preying on their well-documented financial vulnerabilities.
