Full Hour | Today, Dom Giordano led off the Dom Giordano Program by telling of an effort by some Pennsylvania Republicans to denounce gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, expressing their support for Democratic nominee Josh Shapiro. Dom takes issue with this, expressing his disappointment in the conservative candidate, but warns of the negative implications of a Shapiro governorship. Then, Dom recaps the National Education Association Convention, telling of the topics discussed, bleakly revealing large support for mandatory masks and COVID vaccines. Also, Giordano offers updates centered on Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, after he said he no longer wants to be the city’s Mayor after a tragic incident on the Parkway during July 4th fireworks.

Then, Brad Thor, author of the just released Rising Tiger, the newest book in the Scott Harvath series, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to tell Dom and listeners about his new book. First, Dom asks Thor about the setting of the new novel, asking why he chose to set it in India, with Thor taking Dom deep into the geopolitics of the region and how they play into the story. Then, Giordano compliments Thor for his ability to continue keeping things fresh after 21 books, complimenting the addition of a new love interest and asking Thor how he continues to transform his stories. (Photo by Michael M.
