Has Atlantis finally been found? This week I speak with David Edward who says he has done just that. He tells us where Atlantis is, how he researched it all, and most interestingly why it has taken hundred of years of exploration to finally find it. Was people looking in the wrong place? Did Disney and the Bahamas resort simply try to keep the money flowing the the mystery going? Is David just misguided with his thoughts? I will let you decide. Regardless of your final decision this was an extremely interesting chat!

Step right up to get your face painted! What started out as a fun way to make a few extra bucks quickly turned into something that would heal both herself and others from past trauma. Kristen Zamora began working over 12 years ago at local arenas and parties painting kids faces with their favorite animal or sports team, but by 2017 she began full body painting with a different goal in mind. To use these painting as an experience for the subject being brushed upon to begin to shed the trauma in their life with every stroke. Whether it is painting things that ground someone who experienced sexual abuse or recreating the tattoos of a mother on the body of their son, she has taken this mission all the way to being awarded the ArtPrize. This is a powerful conversation about how a passion can become something so much more.

He tells us about his journey from teacher to one of the leading stuntman in the business.

Have you ever heard of "The Source Family" commune? This was a group started in 1969 by Source Restaurant owner Jim Baker. While feeding Hollywood's rich and famous in his restaurant downstairs, upstairs and in the parking lot after closing he was leading a group of young people into a world where he was was the chosen leader and others were to follow. We speak with one such follower who joined early in "The Family's" creation in Wendy Baker who left home at 14 years old and began following "Father Yod" as he was later called and did so until his death under interesting circumstances. Through moves to Hollywood mansions, being kidnapped to Hawaii, getting pregnant in the commune at 16, and escaping to lead a seemingly normal life this week you are in for a fascinating journey into a world of charismatic leaders and devoted followers. Was "The Source Family" a cult or a happy go lucky commune? I will let you be the judge.

This week we talk about the world of foster care with, Dr. John DeGarmo the founder of the Foster Care Institute and TedTalk speaker. He shares with us some pretty alarming numbers when it comes to kids in foster care and how we can all help even if fostering kids is not in the cards. He shares his personal journey as a foster parent for over 60 kids as well. This was an eye opening, impactful conversation about a forgotten crisis.

This week we dive into the world of sports reporting as a female in the 1990's with former ESPN SportsCenter host Anne Montgomery. Spoiler Alert, it wasn't always fun and it certainly wasn't always fair. She takes us from her mom's less than excited reaction to hearing she wanted to major in sports journalism, to the stories of breaking gender barriers in the local and national TV world, to "aging out" of sports journalism (something that only is told to women it seems...), and what she did then. That journey took her to high school classrooms and into the pages of novels as she became a teacher and author. GREAT story this week from a really amazing person.

Ride along this week as retired NYPD detective, Vic Ferrari, takes us on a high speed ride through his time on America's largest police force. He shares fascinating, funny stories from busting one of the largest cockfighting rings ever (and why he should not have gotten involved), to paying a nun's parking tickets, and even a story of a lazy cop getting very very lucky with some Albanian hitmen. It was quite the adventure and it is only a small piece of his life and stories as we talk also about the 6 books he has written that share even more tales. Buckle up for this one!

This week is a fiery conversation in more ways than one as I speak with author and former forest firefighter, Linda Strader. We talk about her decision to join a fire crew in the 1970's, the struggles she faced as one of the only women doing the job, and the struggles women in the profession still face (spoiler: the number of women fighting fires now are the same as 50 years ago). She shares stories of massive fires she worked in Arizona, the permafrost she sunk into in Alaska, and reinventing herself when injury took her out of the forest at the height of her career. You will not want to miss this one!
