From 2018: Under the pen name of R.W. Marcus, Jeff Morris, one of St. Petersburg, FL’s favorite sons just published "The Fate of Tomorrow: Tales of the Annigan Cycle, Book One." It’s the story of an unlikely group of heroic anti-heroes that combines the far-out landscapes and civilizations you might expect from J.R.R. Tolkien with the outlandish characters of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy.Book Two is already written and expected by Xmas 2018, with the final installment of the trilogy due in 201

From 2018: There is something special about Roger Nygard. He leads two very different lives in Hollywood: by day, he’s been a video editor on top comedy series such as “Curb Your Enthusiasm” with Larry David, “Veep” with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and most recently, he was part of Sacha Baron Cohen’s team on the politically explosive Showtime series, “Who Is America?” He also worked on “Crashing” with Pete Holmes, “The League,” “The Office” and “The Bernie Mac Show.”

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Mark Malkoff is probably the most and best prepared podcast host in the world. If you’ve ever listened to his show, “The Carson Podcast,” you know what I’m talking about. With its singular focus on the career of the late Johnny Carson, host of “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” – and Mark is always careful to say the show’s full name, so I will be, too—“The Carson Podcast” is the essence of a great podcast.

From 2010: Joining me today to talk about ABC's "My Generation" are Daniella Alonso, who plays DC lawyer “Brenda Serrano,” and Michael David-Stahl, a Hawaii-based surf bum who just discovered he has a 9-year-old son.

I received Cristina Alger’s third novel, "The Banker’s Wife," and figured it would literally be a thriller about a banker’s wife. And it is – to a point. But journalist Marina Tourneau is Maggie Haberman, Andrea Mitchell and Nicolle Wallace all rolled up in one. This is a terrific work of continent-hopping fiction and I love the way the character of Marina comes to dominate the narrative and never becomes a victim, never plays the “woman card,” and never needs to turn to a man to fix things for

From 2009: I’m not a big advocate of cheating to get ahead in life. But let’s face it, these are not normal times. So I’m willing to consider options that were previously anathema to a good two-shoes like myself. Enter Jeff Kreisler, an old friend of the Mr. Media Radio show and the author of the new book, Get Rich Cheating: The Crooked Path to Easy Street. In this manual to the easy life, he kicks ethics to the curb and puts readers on the fast track to mastering scams, frauds, steroids and PR.

From 2010: Here are two pop culture references I never thought I’d make in the same sentence: ABC-TV’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and Grammy Award winner Ashanti. But this Sunday, the delicate, carefully crafted singer will be a special guest star alongside the sometimes shrill Ty Pennington as “Extreme Makeover.” Sounds crazy, right? What’s a beautiful girl like her doing on a construction site with the likes of him? Good question! Let’s find out.

From 2011: The Mr. Media Training blog has attracted a growing readership thanks to Brad Phillips' observations and advice on everything from “12 Things 1980s Music Can Teach Public Speakers” to the “5 Tactics Reporters Use to Intimidate You.” He’s also been known to opine on troubled celebrities such as Charlie Sheen and politicians caught letting their really opinions loose when they didn’t know their microphones were still on.

From 2011: Name me one female character on TV who can dish out abuse as well as "Entourage" character Dana Gordon -- as played by Constance Zimmer -- and still look really, really hot. No, I can't think of anyone else, either.

CONSTANCE ZIMMER podcast excerpt: "Dana would marry E., f--- Vince and kill Ari. But she would want to do it to get ahead."

From 2011: I’m a huge fan of NBC’s “Chuck,” the show where Bomer first made his big career splash as Bryce Larkin, the superspy that turned Chuck Bartkowski into the Intersect. He was also Sarah’s boyfriend. And one more thing: Brett Ratner was right and Bryan Singer was wrong; Matt Bomer would have made a great Superman.
