May 5, 2023 Show Author Paul F. Caranci This is an exciting week for the Foxes and Fossils Fans. The pay-per-view streaming of their December, Reunion Concert starts TODAY (May 5th at noon). It's may seem soon but why not hear about the book our author wrote about them, right up to start time? Like many other instantaneous fans, Paul Caranci heard this group, by accident and loved what they do. Then, he was drawn to write about them. The book, "Ear Candy", co-authored by band member, Sammie Purcell, is not just about musicians and their music. It's about the personalities, fans and the phenomenon that continues to grow, years after that first concert at a pizza shop. Join us again, to share his insights on why this book was a must do item for him....and enjoy your weekend of Great Covers by The Foxes and Fossils.

April 21, 2023 Show Author Paul F. Caranci A student of history, our guest has written fourteen books,
some based in religion, some on politics. All with in-depth research and
experience. His latest is a biography. Not of one individual or even two
or more, but it’s the story of a phenomenon. A group of people with
talents born from years of experience, joined by young people with talents
beyond their years, to make music. The group calls themselves The Foxes
and Fossils and if you don’t know about them, you will want to. Like many
other instantaneous fans, Paul Caranci heard them and loved what they do.
Then, he was drawn to write about them. The book, “Ear Candy”, co-authored
by band member, Sammie Purcell, is not just about musicians and their music.
It’s about the personalities, fans and the phenomenon that continues to grow,
years after that first concert at a pizza shop. Paul joins me to share his
insights on why this book was a must do item for him. We think you’ll agree. |

Richard Judy Author and Outdoorsman Nearly five years ago we met Richard Judy and heard his tremendous story of hiking the Appalachian Trail. The 2,184 mile footpath between Georgia and Maine, which many have hiked the total length or parts of it. Some started and lost to the elements, or just the rigors of the trail itself. Those who complete the journey make up a brotherhood who love every step it took to make it THRU. Richard Judy first hiked southbound, in 1973. A journey that inspired a dream he held for years. To capture in words, the essence of this great American adventure for others. He completed that dream in 2014 with the publication of his novel, “THRU An Appalachian Trail Love Story.” That book was recognized with his nomination as Georgia Author of the Year in 2015. Still a hiker and trail advocate, Richard and his children hike portions on his beloved pathway when they can. He brought his novel to our
program for discussion. |

March 17, 2023 Show Award Winning Author & Journalist, Jedwin Smith and his Publisher, Angela Durden From June of 2019, I’m proud to bring back a
discussion I had with famed journalist, Jedwin Smith, and his
publisher. Twice nominated for the Pulitzer prize for work as a
correspondent during the Vietnam War, Jedwin has taken on an even
older conflict. In 2017, he took a trip to The Holy land to seek
answers. He met Philip Haney, the first of many knowledgeable
authorities on the region. He learned much about this small strip
of land, prophesized in the Bible and finally founded in 1948. A
land that comes with a promise from God that many are bound to
undo. Jedwin and publisher, Angela Durden, bring his latest
work, based on that trip, “I AM ISRAEL – Lions and Lambs of the
Land,” to our program. Jedwin Smith is here to discuss this
important book and hopefully help us understand what’s going on
over there, and why.

March 3, 2023 Show Doug Speaks to a Writer’s Group With Covid in the rear view ( for the most part ) everyone is out looking to get back in the game, whatever their game was. Writers are looking for “opportunity.” Sometime it’s looking us right in the eye and we fail to recognize it. I spoke to a group, before Covid, but the message still applies. I hope you enjoy and get something out of it.

Children's Author Andrea Cassell Our guest, originally here
back in August of 2020, is a native Floridian with a resume' that
goes from beauty queen, to TV Host, to NFL Cheerleader ( at a very
special time ! ), to singer with a traveling rock band, and much
more. After talking to her, I dare say she is most proud of her
role as a teacher for Special Ed Kids. Andrea was raised in south
Florida, went to college in North Carolina, married and moved to
Wichita, Kansas where she taught for several years. She and her
husband raised a family and along the way they were adopted by
Kibby, their miniature Labradoodle. Kibby would become the
emphasis for Andrea's children's book. Each of which has won The
Golden MOM Choice Award of excellence. Her books are entertaining
and, as you might imagine, offer lessons to kids on subjects
meaningful and universal.
