Shannon In The Morning Big Show Daily Podcast

Brad Blanks had a nice talk with Shantel VanSanten, who stars as astronaut wife Karen Baldwin in the Apple TV+ show “FOR ALL MANKIND.”

Set in 1969, the series dramatizes an alternate history depicting "what would have happened if the global space race had never ended" after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first crewed moon landing ahead of the united states. 

Shantel is an ex-swimsuit model and now successful actress having starred in two huge fan favorite shows, One Tree Hill & The Boys.

The “Dr. Oz Show” just celebrated it’s 2000th show February 4th after 12 years on the air! Dr. Mehmet Oz checked in with Scott & Patty to talk about this great achievement, his upcoming turn hosting Jeopardy and his #MoreBlackDoctors Campaign.

We were so excited to see Dr. Oz was listed as one of the upcoming guest hosts on Jeopardy! and he gave us the lowdown on his experience! 

“It’s two weeks of shows, It’s gonna air in March” Dr. Oz tells us, and he was in awe of how Jeopardy functions.

“That is a tough show to host” he says, “you have to know those answers cold, so you can quickly judge if it’s wrong, right or close.”

He continues “They have some fantastic people who are so smart, they are so meticulous in how they get their answers…It’s so beautiful to watch this in motion, and you realize Alex (Trebek) built it.”

Dr. Oz has a zoom webinar tonight (February 9th) at 7pm in support of his #MoreBlackDoctors Campaign, to help support and advocate for more diversity in medicine and combat racial bias. Dr. Ian Smith will be a guest tonight.
