Andrea Crosta is an intelligence operative who formed conversation organization Earth League International which carries out covert operations to stop animal trafficking and subject of the Nat Geo documentary "Sea Of Shadows".

NASA astronaut Mike Massimino drops by the studio to talk about his missions repairing the Hubble Telescope, the perspectives he learned while in space, and what it is like to leave Earth.

Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger has traveled the world chasing great stories, from The Congo to on tour with Metallica. We discuss some of those journeys, as well as his two Ted Bundy projects now available on Netflix: "Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes" and "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile".

In the past few years, actor Michael Kelly’s work has taken him to Everest, Colombia, and inside of The White House. Probably best known as Doug Stamper on “House Of Cards”, I am looking forward to the next chapter in his career on Amazon’s “Jack Ryan”, and we had a great conversation, where we talked about all of that and more.

Mark Webber is a rare breed. Every time I spent time with him I feel I walk away a better person for it. His latest directing project “The Place Of No Words” recently premiered at Tribeca Film Festival. Shot in Wales and costarring with his real life wife Teresa Palmer and real life son Bohdi, his movie blew me away. We sat down to talk about the movie, but also his family’s struggle with homelessness and the experiences on the road that made him the man that he is today.

Theo Rossi (Sons Of Anarchy, Luke Cage) drops by to chat about trips to Mexico, his new movie Vault, his new home of Austin, hiking with his rescue dogs, and how one of them quite literally saved his life.
