  Award Winning Surgeon Dr. Allan Hamilton

  On the show at 3pm Eastern is Dr. Allan Hamilton. With thirty years experience as Harvard-educated brain surgeon, his latest book 'The Scalpel and the Soul' tells the unspoken stories behind remarkable patients and strange events, and shares the moral and spiritual lessons found in them. On next at 3:15pm is Donald Greco, author of 'Abramo's Gift'.Donald is an Irish-Italian who grew up in Youngstown and has lived in Ohio all his life. His novels are about ordinary people with extraordinary stories. The rich history and culture surrounding Ohio's steel valley inspired Abramo's Gift. On the show at 3:30 will be Alphie McCourt, author of ' A Long Stone's Throw'. This amazing memoir of the youngest McCourt begins between the borders of Canada and the United States. Because of a technical hitch in immigration law, Alphie, an Irishman in town to play a rugby match with his mates, finds himself shanghaied in no man's land. His pieces have appeared in The Washington Post and The Villager (New York). At 3:45 James Reams joins the show. The band (The Barnstormers)plays traditional bluegrass music with an old-time country edge, and a sound that’s very much their own. It features driving rhythm and hard-edged harmonies that take you back to a time before bluegrass was smoothed out for the uninitiated, the ill-prepared or the faint of heart. The band includes James on guitar and lead vocals; Mark Farrell on mandolin, fiddle and harmony vocals; Nick Sullivan on upright bass and harmony vocals; and Doug Nicolaisen on banjo.

  New York Times-bestselling author Garen Thomas

  Tune in to the show on February 11th, 2009 at 3pm Eastern to listen to Jim Duzak, a divorce lawyer, divorce mediator, former dating service owner, and author of 'Mid-Life Divorce and the Rebirth of Commitment'.He is also known as the Attorney at Love. On the show next at 3:15 is New York Times best selling author Garen Thomas. Her latest book ‘Yes We Can-A Biography of President Barack Obama’ takes us through the life of Barack Obama, from his struggle to fit in with his classmates, and concern about not knowing his biological father, through his term as an Illinois senator, and the long campaign for president, to his historic victory. On next at 3:30 is Nina Burleigh, author of "Unholy Business". In 2002 an ancient limestone ossuary (box for bones) bearing the inscription "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" was made public by its Israeli owner. Media around the world trumpeted it as the first material evidence of the existence of Jesus; a huge find with special implications to fundamentalist Christians, Jews, historians, and the eccentric world of million dollar Biblical relic collectors. There is only one problem. After a two-year investigation, authorities in Israel have called it "the fraud of the century." Today it is Exhibit Number one in a forgery trial in Israel involving hundreds of Biblical-era relics and five prominent scholars and collectors. Our musical guest at 3:45 is Daniela Gesundheit of Snowblink. Flavorpill SF described their music as “hushed and eerily gorgeous” and Gesundheit’s voice as “exquisite—a warbly, smoky and delicate thing.” Their festive performances often err on the side of theatrical, with bells and party-poppers dispersed throughout the audience and sounded at the moment of an on-stage cue.
