Ever wonder what happens when you go under anesthesia?
Then you must listen to our interview with Dr. James Cottrell, author, “Anesthesia
Without Fear,” because he’s got a lot to share with us.
There’s no fear here. It’s about knowing the different types of anesthesia depending
on your surgery, because not all anesthesia is created equal. There’s also lots you can
do to prepare for surgery, and Dr. Cottrell talks about that, too, in addition to what
questions to ask your anesthesiologist before undergoing the knife. What about
emergency surgery, and the differences between heart surgery and the type of
anesthesia needed for child birth, natural or C-section? And what about other plastic
surgery?
There’s a LOT to cover, so tune in and join the conversation. You can find our full
interview on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE.

Italians LOVE their baseball. Growing up, my parents gushed about #JoeDiMaggio, and now it’s #MikePiazza with my kids. So today, we welcome Joe Quagliano, president, and Chris Vaccaro, director, of the Italian American Baseball Foundation, doing a lot to merge young Italian ball players with baseball the U.S. #IABF provides opportunities for youth development in baseball and softball, providing education and exposure to young players through clinics, coaching, and more. The foundation builds a pipeline of players from Italy to the U.S. by providing scholarships and showcases, supporting the Italian National Teams as American partners, and promoting baseball and softball players from high school to the Major
League level.

These two have been committed to this cause since it started, and it stems from their love of baseball and all things Italian. Chris has been a successful media consultant and journalist, and Joe runs Mint Pros, providing VIP events primarily around baseball. And their love of the game is creating something special for the next round of ball players.

Teens are experiencing record amounts of stress, and sleep can have a LOT to do with it. Please welcome to our show, Lisa L. Lewis, author, “The Sleep Deprived Teen,” an inside look at why our teenagers are so tired, and how parents and schools can help teens thrive.

We’ll be discussing the science of why sleep matters; how sleep affects mental health, academics, and athletic performance; we’ll talk about gender and sleep; technology and sleep, and much more.

The question is, how do teens get more sleep? Particularly when their bodies want to get to sleep later, and schools start early. We talk about all of that and more. It’s an important discussion, not just for teens, but parents, educators, and anyone interested in learning about what happens when we sleep and how we sort through our thoughts.

Please join our full interview on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite all friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, someone who does NOT get enough sleep, often lost in my own thoughts! So please join us, there’s a lot to learn.

Please welcome to our show Nico Juber, award-winning composer and musical theater writer recently highlighted on the “2023 Women to Watch on Broadway” list, after making her Off-Broadway debut with “MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING MUSICALS,” which was an astounding success.  

And Nico is on the move. Her musical WINNER, co-written with Joe Barros, is set to debut in the West End as part of The London Summer Music Theatre Academy later this summer. And she’s only just getting started. 

Nico comes from a true legendary background. Her dad, Laurence Juber, is a musician whose work includes playing in the band, #Wings (yes, she’s met Paul McCartney, my personal idol), and her mom, Hope, an accomplished writer and actress whom I’ve had on my show. Nico’s grandfather, who is Hope’s dad, was Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of so many incredible shows from The Brady Bunch to Gillian’s Island. Let’s just say she’s learned from the best. 

But it took some time for Nico to flourish, because cancer got in her way (she’s recovered), and she welcomed two children. But once got behind the piano again, she found her voice. She tells us about  that, and also the nonprofit she created for cancer survivors called Thrive/Survive Los Angeles.

There’s a LOT to talk about, including the need for more women in leadership roles in theater, TV, and film. Please tune in to #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio podcast platforms, and invite your friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt. And a BIG shout out to my friends at the BRA Network, including Carry, Catherine, and Debra, who introduced me to Nico.

Scott will also be talking about his upcoming festival he's producing in Beverly Hills about David Lynch, and discuss his two other books, "Lost Highway: The Fist Of Love," and "Firewalk With Me: Your Laura Disappeared," both based on the works of David Lynch.
