Late Talks on Air

Welcome to Episode 125!


We are all one traumatic event or one illness away from having our lives turned upside down, when the way we move through the world might have to be renavigated, renegotiated, and sometimes even reimagined. In this episode, I talk with Jenna Udenberg, an author, disability advocate, and accessibility educator who has lived that reality since childhood.

If laughter is medicine, Jenna and I could have set up a pharmacy in this episode! It's a serious conversation, but also an entertaining and uplifting one. Her advocacy is admirable, her courage - contagious, and our talk was an eye-opener in the best way!

Join us as we journey through Jenna's hard-fought experiences and into a life of music, education, and the necessary advocate she's become.

The video version of this episode will be available next week on our YouTube channel!

Enjoy the show!

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Robinson, a former pastor and FBI Special Agent with an extraordinary backstory. You'll hear firsthand how Eric made the unexpected journey from the pulpit to federal law enforcement, and how his years in ministry shaped his approach to human intelligence — reading people, building trust, and navigating situations most of us can only imagine.

Now retired, Eric is working on his memoir, Ir-Reverend: From Saving Souls to Chasing Sinners in the FBI, a candid look at the complex, difficult, and occasionally humorous moments that defined his one-of-a-kind career.

I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.

Welcome to Episode 123!

From a prison cell in South Texas to the sand at Huntington Beach, California — it took Bryan Blackmon a long time to truly see himself clearly. 962 days and counting since he clawed his way out of addiction, and honestly? We are here for it!

This episode is Bryan's story — nearly 30 years of addiction, and the moment everything started to turn around. That moment came from the most unexpected place: an 87-year-old widow named Elaine Montgomery, who took a chance on a homeless stranger, opened her home, and gave him a safe place to finally heal.  In this episode:

• Bryan's nearly 30-year journey with addiction, and what finally broke the cycle
• How Elaine Montgomery opened her home — and what that act of trust set in motion
• The Crab Crew, the community Bryan built to help others create lasting change
• Using social media and personal connection to reach people still in the fight
• What recovery actually looks like, day to day

Hello beautiful listeners – Tune in for a special mid-week episode release for Wednesday night – still 10:00 PM (ET), here on Late Talks on Air.

Welcome to Late Talks on Air - episode 122!

Some conversations settle into your bones a little differently. This is one of those. Tonight I sat down with Larisa Makuch — a Ukrainian dancer, former Pilates studio director, NLP and hypnotherapy practitioner, and founder of Abundance Academy — for a chat that wound its way through more life than I expected in one sitting.

We talked about the pole-dance party business that accidentally taught her about group dynamics and human nature. We talked about ten years of trying to get pregnant, and the fog of new motherhood. We talked about the moment her husband stood up and asked her a question she couldn't answer — one that changed the trajectory of her professional life. 

I loved our conversation - and think you will too!
Enjoy the show,
Nancy.
