Check out my interview out of South Africa on Global Jazzwomen Hang!

New #IHP Canddiate Interviews with incumbent Lynne Harris and challenger Rita Montoya for Montgomery County Board of Education At-Large. May 14 is Primary Day. Mail in ballots are out. Early voting starts May 2. The BOE races are the most important local and state races on the ballot this year. All eligible voters vote for all three races on the ballot. Districting in the BOE races is for canddiature alone. Each interview is a separate episode, which means we won’t have mega-episodes with multiple candidates for one office as we did in the past. As more candidates interview, we will release new episodes even if off-schedule. There will be candidates we will not interview (too many) or who do not want to interview on #IHP. Please keep in mind that candidates pick the topic they want to talk about and the interviews are deep dives into that topic. These interviews are unlike candidate forums that ask a breadth of questions and allow limited time for answers. Linktr.ee/ihppod

Better results? Grow better plants? Does Albanese have a problem with his sense of smell? The is not any substance in what Albanese is selling. He does not offer any solid answers or ideas on how he can improve the life of the indigenius people in Australia. There are approximately 128,000 people homeless. How are these people going to be helped. Why is Albanese so hell bent on having this referendum past? Is there a hidden reason/interest. It is amazing how big business is supporting the "yes" vote. They have enough issues required to be addressed and approved already. It will become even more difficult if passed. Potentially a number of businesses could move overseas because it will be too difficult and costly to stay in Australia. Walking through a garden with his "people" does not make the " yes" vote right. Germany learnt this with Adolf Hitler. Governments, Big business are tryng to create an elite select world to control the world. The Federal Government is trying to pass a law essentially to only allow what they consider is truthful. The "Covid epidemic" appears to have been a training run on how a government can control and manipulate it"s population.

The numbers tell a story.

"Do not bite, kick or hit, except in self-defence. Do not torture and bully other children, so you don’t end up in jail. Eat in a civilized and thankful manner, so that people are happy to have you at their house, and pleased to feed you. Learn to share, so other kids will play with you. Pay attention when spoken to by adults, so they don’t hate you and might therefore deign to teach you something. Go to sleep properly, and peaceably, so that your parents can have a private life and not resent your existence. Take care of your belongings, because you need to learn how and because you’re lucky to have them. Be good company when something fun is happening, so that you’re invited for the fun. Act so that other people are happy you’re around, so that people will want you around." — Jordan B. Peterson (12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos)

Check out my exclusive interview with Richie Sambora!

Today, I attended a dedication evening for the 70th anniversary of the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty corporation. I've been working here for 8 years, and our office was banned in Russia two years ago. Creating popular content about the Russian economy or human rights in Russia for a country where such content is prohibited is certainly a unique line in my CV. Imagine, you produce content that's best not shared because it's dangerous. Creating commercial content feels like an alternate reality. As a result, I live in two parallel realities, dealing with both commercial and non-commercial content. Try getting organic views on the topic of prison torture in Russia. In essence, this job is more than just media experience; it's an entirely new skill that I haven't yet been able to evaluate for myself.

This is a GREAT job. Let me tell you why:) This show is one of the most fun experiences I’ve had in my entire career. It’s a nationally syndicated radio show that Canadians can hear on AM radio or on the iHeartradio app live, or as a podcast. It’s two hours of real estate, with the freedom to cover stories we think are important, that might make you laugh, might make you cry or you might not hear anywhere else. What does that mean you might be asking? It means we might go from grilling a cabinet minister or premier, to talking to a woman who grew 167 pumpkins by accident, to a man who went blind in an instant and decided to keep coaching basketball. We want big gets, and big stories – but also stuff people listening will want to talk about when they get home for dinner. We have an unbelievably stacked roster of panelists for the Daily Debrief panel, which airs from 1-130pm ET every day. What do I mean by stacked? I mean the smartest, funniest, most experienced politicos you can imagine: Robert Benzie Shakir Chambers Amanda Galbraith Shachi Kurl Kathleen Monk Tom Mulcair Tim Powers Scott Reid Laura Stone Kory Teneycke Zain Velji Marieke Walsh 🎉 We also get to do a segment called “have your say” and TALK (imagine that!) to our listeners – who don’t hold back. It’s honestly wild and so enjoyable. Now, it’s not all fun and games. It’s a big show – and we take it seriously. I will probably text you too much, and I want the show to land the best gets – so I will probably be annoying pushy about that. I’m also decisive and that can come across as bitchy sometimes lol. But I promise you – it comes from a place of wanting what we put to air to meet the highest standards, to have an impact and be relevant to our audience. At the end of the day though, we are a small (and mighty!) team – and I will always have your back. I’m big on that. I want your career to flourish and I’ll do everything I can to make that happen; the person you’re replacing, btw, is moving to a television program I host called Power Play! I also bring in a lot of baked goods so liking sugar is a real positive. I want to know about your life, so I’m really hoping you aren’t turned off by small talk – I like asking about your kids, your weekend activities and your Friday night plans. On the other side of that, I talk about my son too much and complain a lot about my husband – hopefully you will be able to laugh that off. Finally, it’s important you have ambition – for yourself and this program – and basically that means I’ll be as respectful of your time away from work as possible – but we will work hard – and a lot. If this sounds bearable to you - apply! 😊
