  • XZRS/XZBN: Ron Franscell - The Crime that Changed Casper, Wyoming
    The Crime That Changed Casper, Wyoming - When 18-year-old Becky Burridge and her 11-year-old sister Amy drove to the grocery store in quiet Casper, Wyoming they never could have predicted what would happen next. After Becky's car got a flat-tire on their trip home, the sisters accepted a ride from two strangers that would lead to abduction, rape, and murder and end in a horrific tragedy that would haunt their town forever. Ron Franscell was the girls' neighbor at the time; his account of the events that rocked Casper, Wyoming that day in 1973 will grip The 'X' Zone Nation today and leave them shocked at the brutality of the girls' abductors. Franscell is a journalist whose work regularly appears in the Washington Post, Chicago Sun-Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Denver Post, San Jose Mercury-News, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He is the author of "The Darkest Night."

  • XZRS/XZBN: Ruta Fox - Whats So Hot About The Ah Ring
    It happens in a split second, that moment when genius strikes and a new idea is born. Just ask Ruta Fox. She was unemployed when her moment happened. Fox started selling diamond pinky rings to her friends, who, like her, happened to be single. She knew she was onto something special when she called it The Ah Ring™, and decided it would symbolize being "A, available and happy." It is the first and only diamond ring designed for single women. With no business background, no financing, no experience and no help, Fox set up shop in her apartment and began to build her empire. Fate soon intervened when Oprah eatured The Ah Ring in O, The Oprah Magazine and sales soared. Fox had unknowingly tapped a potential market of 55 million single women, including Hollywood's top single celebrities. Fox recently appeared on CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, EXTRA! and numerous radio talk shows. She was also featured in Entrepreneur, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, Harper's Bazaar and hundreds of other publications.

  • XZRS/XZBN: Russ Reina - Moments in the Death of a Flesh Mechanic… a Healers Rebirth
    Russ Reina stumbled into ambulance work at the birth of Emergency Medical Services and found himself trying to legitimize a new profession. He agitated the systems he was in to support better their EMS workers ("Russ Reina was a burr in the backside of every Emergency Medical Services system he worked in," John Eaglesham, EMT-P, Past Chairman, California Ambulance Association). Russ burned out on the politics not long after crafting the first AFL-CIO Union affiliation with EMS workers, the California Paramedic's Association. That led him into a quest to experience more of the healing arts, and to use EMS as a metaphor to get medics of all stripes talking about their challenges. Russ became involved in alternative modalities, including body and energy and Human Potential work, along with spiritual counseling. He lived and worked with a traditional Lakota medicine family as fire tender and lived in intentional communities. He also delved into performing arts including, writing, acting, stand-up comedy, movie making (Healer, which he wrote, a full-length film, opened the 1994 Santa Barbara International Film Festival) and music. Currently, Russ does photography, writing, counseling and workshops on the island of Maui, where he is a tour guide. - www.russreina.com / www.firetender.org

  • XZRS/XZBN: LA Marzulli - The Nephilim Trilogy
    L.A. Marzulli, author, composer and researcher had no use for God after the age of 13, when he stopped attending the Catholic church of his parents. When he was 18, his 16-year-old girlfriend was killed in an accident. Deeply affected by this, he felt there was no God whatsoever. To ease the pain, he sought relief from many sources including drugs. By the age of 21, Marzulli moved into an ashram. Though he'd left the church, he found himself drawn to other spiritual expressions, especially the New Age movement. His fascination with unusual phenomena drew him deeper and deeper into the supernatural and occultist world. By age 30, however, he realized something crucial: that none of his experiences did a thing to change what was on the inside. Marzulli sees his former involvement in the occult as the basis of his current calling: "Having my roots in the occult, then becoming a Christian-all I went through-has enabled me to look at this phenomenon from both an insider's view and a biblical view. I want to steer people away from getting involved, and arm people to know what to say to someone who is involved in the occult." L.A. Marzulli holds an honorary doctorate (D. Min.) from Pacific International University for his research on Nephilim. A talented musician and composer who has recorded a number of albums, he is also the Worship Pastor at Mercy Christian Community Church in Agoura Hills, CA. L.A. Marzulli lives in Malibu with his wife and two daughters.
