From the OR to the ICU, Dr. David Alfery brings you into a hidden world of medicine that has never before been seen.

What an honor to have ALLAN CLARKE as our special guest on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast.

'BUDDY'S BACK' is the new single from the legendary ALLAN CARKE and GRAHAM NASH, made all the more special and poignant, as it's the first time they have been heard harmonizing on a new track together in decades.  The song is written by Graham and reflects their childhood friendship and musical influences.  Both from Salford, Allan and Graham were founder members and original vocalists of Manchester band, THE HOLLIES. They went on to shape pop music throughout the 1960s and became one of the most successful bands of all time, enjoying hit after hit, with top chart singles such as  'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother', 'The Air That I Breathe', 'Bus Stop and 'Carrie Anne'. In fact in 1978, The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles confirmed that The Hollies had achieved "more hits than any other British group" (even more than The Beatles!). Graham famously left The Hollies in 1968 to pursue a massively successful career with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Neil Young, plus as a solo artist. The Hollies' music is still as much loved today as it was back in the 1960's and 1970s.  The Hollies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

The Rick Flynn Presents podcast proudly welcomes multi-talented artist/author ADELE BERTEI to our show for this very special two-part series in promotion of her book "Twist ~ An American Girl."  Here is show #2 of 2 (Episode 129) of RICK FLYNN PRESENTS. This fascinating book is a memoir.

The story begins with her beautiful mother, whose delusions of grandeur bring both wonders and horrors to the home. Her schizophrenia eventually leads to the removal of her kids by child protective services and the beginning of young Maddie’s harrowing journey. By her middle school years, Maddie Twist has moved through several foster homes and reformatories. With each new posting, she discovers sanctuary amongst her peers—outcast girls—while gaining belief in her identity and unwavering trust in her own voice. As she ages out of the juvenile justice system and finds herself navigating the world alone, Maddie’s only constant is music. She can sing, and she is certain it will be the beacon that guides her toward another life. She is right.
