But one day, they are brought together for the unlikeliest of reasons: Finnegan must help Chase gain the confidence she needs to perform as part of an educational program for children at a zoo. Finnegan and Chase have each suffered losses and have trouble trusting. Yet somehow, they are just what the other needs. But if Finnegan isn’t able to help Chase overcome her fears, he won’t just be letting Chase down—he could be risking his new home as well. Inspired by true stories from zoos across the country, award-winning author Jasmine Warga creates a deeply moving tale about how the power of friendship can transcend anything—even species.

When it’s extremely difficult to make up your mind.  Having the power of choice can actually weaken someone.  On this episode we’re going to explore our choice to ask someone how are you while not letting others know how we feel.  Plus, the choice to blow air from your lungs on hot food.  Really?  Does it cool things off? I’m Arroe.  Life is a series of choices.  Who decides when you’re not making it the right choice?  Is it the fear of going wrong?  The greatest lessons in life are often lost inside hidden away attempts and concepts.  It’s time to reopen your heart. Having a choice is a daily gift.  On this highway we learn to trust mirages… What is the choice?

An Unflinchingly Raw, Coming Out Memoir of Addiction, Trauma, and Recovery, Within the Landscape of NY/NJ and the Criminal Underworld of WaikikiTeen junkie. Criminal prodigy. Meth kingpin. PTA mom. Lesbian. Nikki Mammano has lived many lives, each with its soaring highs and crushing lows. Now, as a recovering addict and mother of two (young adults) in her 50s, Mammano tells her tale at last in BREAKING GOOD: A Memoir (March 2026; Regalo Press; ISBN: 979-8895651681; Trade Paperback Original; $19.99). At 20, Nikki arrived on the breathtaking island of Oahu, raring to start classes at the University of Hawaii and serious about turning over a new leaf. Before leaving the mainland, she had made a promise to herself not to party too hard, and her roommate Deb, a friend from her wild teenage years in New York's Hudson Valley, seemed to be on the same page. Yet to Nikki's surprise, Deb already had a roommate: her cokehead boyfriend. Within a flash, Nikki's college dreams and savings went up in smoke. By 22, she was a full-blown meth addict. Living on the streets of Oahu, she did whatever it took-begging, borrowing, stealing-to feed her habit. How the hell did she get there?

You don't know what stories to believe only that those who've lived the days and nights of terrestrial radio were never given a fighting chance to truly show off their gifts of performance. We got to become professional liner card readers. Then came podcasting. Free form thinking as well as connecting. Will Terrestrial radio ever make the jump to drop their music format and truly let connection work?

We evolve over the course of a lifetime. Depending on how much work we actively put in, the process may slow down or speed
up, but it never stops.
Since emerging in 2023, Elegant Weapons have rapidly progressed in real-time. This quartet of lifelong musicians—guitarist
Richie Faulkner [Judas Priest], vocalist Ronnie Romero [Rainbow, MSG], bassist Dave Rimmer [Uriah Heep], and drummer
Christopher Williams [Accept]—have rallied around a collective vision. Of course, their peerless musical pedigree provides
endless fodder for creativity, but the band’s commitment to collaboration is really what detonates their sonic arsenal. They’ve
architected a signature style sealed tightly by unforgettable riffing, surgically precise solos, bold grooves, and skyscraping
hooks.
Exhibiting both a craftsman’s attention-to-detail and an innate knack for arena-ready anthems, they push forward again on
their second full-length offering, the aptly titled Evolution.
“Finding a voice of your own as a technical player and as a songwriter is a never-ending journey,” Richie observes. “You’re
always trying to strike the elusive balance between thrilling listeners and communicating with them. All of us are in other
groups. We sound different on our own. When the four of us come together though, we sound like Elegant Weapons. We
wanted to be recognized as a band who is growing and evolving as one.”
The world got its first taste of Elegant Weapons with the release of Horns For A Halo in 2023. The record immediately reacted
with fans and tastemakers alike. Among many standouts, “Do Or Die” reeled in over 2.8 million Spotify streams, while
Blabbermouth assured, “as a recipe for an excellent, heavy metal time, Elegant Weapons have everything sorted,” and Classic
Rock hailed the LP as “a killer debut album that zings with vitality.” Meanwhile, the group lit up the stages of Hellfest, Graspop
Metal Meeting, Resurrection Fest, and beyond in addition to supporting Pantera.
