04. ==> His Dad was A Renowned Psychic

Imagine growing up the son of a renowned psychic whose
guidance was sought after by many, including legendary
actress Mae West. As the son of Richard Ireland, Mark
chose to ignore the strange bursts of intuition he
experienced until his own son died and he welcomed and
cultivated the strange coincidences he?d dismissed all
his life. He?ll take calls from listeners as he
discusses how the power of intuition can bring healing
at the lowest point of a person?s life, what it?s like
to grow up with a psychic dad, and how to recognize the
psychic ability we all have and strengthen it to see
beyond the material world. An advertising executive by
trade, Mark Ireland has participated in scientific
investigations into parapsychology and has appeared on
the Discovery Channel. He?s the author of ?Soulshift:
Finding Where the Dead Go,? and recently published his
father?s 1970?s book ?Your Psychic Potential: A Guide
to Psychic Development.? Contact him at (602) 769-2772

05. ==> Does Meat Make the Man?

According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer
Research, men in the Western world associate meat with
masculinity, making them reluctant to eat vegetarian
products. Researchers found that American men view red
meat as strong, while eating soy and vegetables as
weak. Frederic Leyd says the premise of the study is
incorrect to begin with because it falsely defines
?masculinity? as primal behavior. He?ll reveal why
eating meat is driven by emotion rather than
masculinity and why some people attack what are seen as
?male? traits, even though women have them, too. Invite
your audience to call in for a fun show on what makes a
?real man.? Leyd is an expert on emotions? effect on
health. His new program, The 2 Minute Solution to Lower
Back Pain, is an advanced system of healing for feet
and lower back. He?s been featured by the Mancow Muller
show, WVLT-CBS, WBIR-NBC, NPR, WATE-ABC, and others
stations. Contact him at (865) 607-6543 (TN);

06. ==> Would You Climb a Mountain with Your Dad?

In 2010 travel writer Tim Ward and his son Josh began a
trek to the ?Roof of Africa.? The two had a major
falling out three years previously. But during their
journey, something amazing occurred. With each step
toward the summit, the two slowly conquered the rocky
terrain of their own relationship. For the first time,
they really connected as father and adult son?man to
man. For most parents, letting go is hard, but
indispensable as your children become independent
adults. For adult children, it?s frustrating when your
parents keep seeing you as the child you no longer are.
Tim and Josh found a path to connecting on the long
walk to the top that helped each man shake off the old
crust, break out of old patterns and see each other
with fresh eyes. Invite them on your show to inspire
your listeners to scale new heights with their own
fathers or sons. Tim Ward, a well-known travel writer,
is the author of ?Zombies on Kilimanjaro,? the story of

pleasure meant to be shared with friends and family.

Wedding season is in full swing and there?s lots of
excitement. But, many couples are stressed out and may
even get cold feet as they get embroiled in family
arguments over last minute details and plans. Invite
psychologist Dr. Karen Sherman to discuss the benefits

12. ==> Hot Button Issue ? Immigrants and Tuition

According to immigration expert William Perez, the
usual unflattering image conjured by the term ?illegal
immigrant? is nothing like the reality of the problem
here in America. Perez says many illegal or
undocumented Americans are making positive
contributions to their communities through volunteer
work and community leadership and a large group of them
will be heading to college soon. Perez will discuss the
DREAM Act, which offers tuition assistance to
undocumented students and how it can help these special
teens to achieve the American dream and stay in the
U.S., while making a positive impact on our economy. He
cites a recent study that shows these students will
contribute $3.5 trillion over the course of their
careers to the American economy and will discuss where
the DREAM Act has been approved and why he thinks it?s
been defeated by other lawmakers. Perez is an associate
professor of education at Claremont Graduate
University. He?s the author of ?Americans by Heart:

14. ==> Short Sales, Foreclosures ? Should You Buy?

With record low interest rates and more homes on the
market than ever, experts say now is the best time to
buy a house. Not so fast, says home inspector Edgar
Moreno. He says many of these homes are foreclosures,
and the majority of them are in dicey condition. Add to
that, more states are enacting laws which let sellers
off the hook over disclosing problems. Invite Moreno to
share how homeowners can learn as much about home
inspection as possible before they plunk down their
hard earned cash on any house. A 12-year veteran home
inspector, Edgar Moreno is the author of ?The Home
