On this talk radio show, it is the story that counts. Authors sound off on every possible topic, from cuisine to culture, and from nature to nurture.
The show also podcasts each interview separately, and all archived podcasts can be searched from the Sound Authors website at www.sounduauthors.com
The first author guest featured this week is Natalia Ippolito; she will be discussing how we all can succeed in stress free and safe travel, especially this time of the year. Natalia is a screenwriter and co-wrote the award-winning screenplay Little Napali Warriors. Like many writers supplementing their incomes in a non-writing occupation, she was part of an elite team with the Transportation Security Administration as an Airport Dual Function Security Screener. Her remarkable gift to interact positively with a mostly disgruntled public contributed to her acknowledged superior effectiveness in both crisis and routine situations in a highly stressful environment.
The second guest will be Bob Goodrich, a 14 time Emmy award winning producer, director and consultant with 36 years of network level experience. Bob worked at ABC Sports for 35 years, producing Monday Night Football, ABC’s first Super Bowl, and the Indianapolis 500, among many other events.
The third guest will be Executive Chef Jon-Paul Hutchins who for over a decade has taught thousands of students at the Scottsdale Culinary Institute. In 2001, Chef Jon-Paul and his wife Miss Leslie hit the airwaves in their nationally syndicated radio show “Hot Cuisine with Chef Jon-Paul and the Lovely Miss Leslie” – a mix of cooking and comedy heard in over thirty markets. He has also appeared on HGTV’s “Going Home” and as a featured chef on The Food Network’s “Sara’s Secrets” with Sara Moulton.
The musical guest for the show this week is Elmo Shropshire - a.k.a DR. ELMO - is best-known for his recording of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," the Christmas classic which has sold more than 10 million copies since it was first broadcast by a San Francisco radio station in 1979. Consistently the most requested holiday song of the past two decades, "Grandma" has secured its place in American pop culture and made Dr. Elmo the king of comedy carols.
