NEW Music Artists & Bands Heard Between Talk Shows! We'll Be Your Favorite!

Headlined Show, Insight Out...the Naked Truth October 4, 2016

Tuesdays 7 PM, Sundays 8 AM PDT

Tonight's phrase "What Do I Know?"

​Rochelle and I audition many phrases before we pick the the guest phrase for each program. It's an open audition. Any phrase is welcome to try out.  Recently we've auditioned "You Betcha," "Probably," "You Mean It," and several others, but this week's winner is "What Do I Know?"

Before we select our champ, we put each candidate through a vigorous vetting to see how they hold up under fire, how useful they are and if they have a dark past we should be aware of. (Did you know that "You betcha" was extensively used by Mussolini and Attila the Hun?)

I'd have to say that tonight's phrase, "What Do I Know?"  really stood out--especially in the category of how to diffuse spousal irritation. When Rochelle or I are tempted to inflict our version of reality on each other, we pivot to, "What Do I Know?"  Not only does it keep us humble, but it diffuses self-righteous indignation and the wear and tear on our ego-defense system.

So, in spite of our desire to be all knowing and to share perspectives in our conversation about things we think we know, ultimately we are left with what is most likely the truth of our situation, but then....."What Do I Know?"

Join us tonight to find out what we'd like to know,  hope to know and maybe even will know...or at least laugh with us at our pretensions to "knowing." Maybe we'll even find the peace that "passeth all knowing." 

Expect some of our delightened characters (Rabbi Greenberg, Father O'Malley, Professors Schnitzel & Umbrage, et al) to weigh in and try their best at knowing.

You can also expect some great music, and who knows, you may come away from the conversation knowing something you didn't know that you knew.

But, heh......what do I know?

Talk to you tonight.

Errol & Rochelle

ET First Contact Radio Guest, Judith Dagley May 21, 2015
intuitive claircognizant, channel, shamanic practitioner, and a licernsed psychotherapist

BACKGROUND: -- -- I was born to hold the frequencies of the planet during a very dark and dangerous time; then, once stabilized, to assist in raising them. -- I was the daughter of a veterinarian, a professional actor for 20 years, then became (and still am) a licensed pysychotherapist, a shamanic practitioner, and a "channel." -- Gradually learned while growing up and through early adulthood that I communicated with animal and plants, am an empath, an intuitive, and finally about 10 years ago, that I am clairgnostic (meaning I communicate with energy, itself.) -- Began consciously "channeling" when I was dying. The Ninth Dimensional Pleadian Collective came through to remind me that I knew how to save my life by changing the energy template of my physical body. And so I did. Which was the beginning of MY huge Paradigm Shift! THE CELESTIAL TEAM & ME-- CURRENT STATUS: -- The celestial team asked me to go public with them in 2010. They said it was "time" to begin introducing our human collective to frequencies. -- Just after 12.21.12, they began to braid with me more. The "boundaries" between us began to blur. Then, they began to ask me to transmit most of the messages through my human consciousness. I understand why more clearly than ever NOW-- because there IS no separation. Because as beings of frequency, we all "channel" aspects of ourSELVES, and in this NEW Paradigm we have entered, we need to USE our NEW technology as beings of frequency. It is "TIME!" OUR (the celestial team/me) CURRENT FOCUS: NOW, the focus is on the physics of working with energy as a HUMAN being of frequency. We need to understand our own technology in order to shift OURSELVES into a 5th dimensional perspective-- OUT of the linear, fear-based paradigm of separation, INTO the interconnected, inclusive, paradigm of unity consciousness. We have been IN this NEW Paradigm since 12.21.12, recallibrating, getting "up to speed!" NOW, that process is completed. NOW, the "stakes are high," you might say. The confluence of energy we are currently in is extremely fluid and supportive of transition. It is referred to as the 4th dimension, which is a sort of bridge between the 3rd and the 5th. One can flip easily between the two while acclimating into the lower octave of the 5th. The 4th dimension is the only dimension that serves as such a transitional space, by the way, and that is because the perceptual "gap" between the 3rd and the 5th is so extreme. However, in terms of our human process, this "confluence of energy" is increasingly becoming more like the center of a wheel. The choices we make as to "how we would like to BE" become spokes. It is very easy to jump from one to the other right NOW, trying on frequencies, feeliing our way to our OWN resonance. But within another 3 months, the spokes will be a little farther apart, so a little more challenging to leap between. And so it will go. By around Sept. of 2016, they will be so far apart as "timeline traectories" that they will be VERY far apart. Soon after that, they will be SO far apart that none will be seen at all--except for the "reality" one has chosen-- through FREQUENCY resonance. So, you SEE why we (thecelestial team and I) are presenting the NEW ENERGY TELE-GATHERINGS! It is also why we prenented Energy Tele-Gatherings monthly through the last half of 2014. And why we do videos, and why I (Judith) presented the "POWER TOOLKIT For Energy Alchemists" in 2013... why I focus ALL of my attention 24/7 in learning, as a clairgnostic human/celestial being, on attuning to and working with these NEW Energies in our NEW Paradigm of BEing. Because this is THE moment, and it is humans who will make the shift for the entire universe! Why? Because there is no other being among us who is incarnate for the purpose of developing COMPASSION-- that is what we humans are here for.

ABOUT ELIZABETH:
Born as one of two sets of identical twins, Elizabeth Joyce has been psychic since birth. From a Bergen County, NJ Housewife and mother,, Elizabeth Joyce has become internationally respected for her gifts as a psychic and energetic healer. She personally believes the credit should go to the Divine as well as to her guides and teachers.

Elizabeth Joyce is a modern day mystic, author, and Master Spiritual Teacher/Healer through the Grace of God, who works through the risen power of the kundalini as a conduit. She transmits this pure double-helix energy from the Source. Healing has occurred simply by being in her presence, or by voice activation, or vibration. She is a popular gifted speaker on the unknown mysteries, higher realities, and higher wisdom. The dreams, visions, highly accurate predictions, and miracles, have been documented through national media.

Beginning with the Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton prediction in 1997, Elizabeth is one of the very few psychics world wide that picked up on the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the Japan and Haitian Earthquakes, and the 2001 Twin Towers tragedy in New York City. Thousands of people have witnessed Elizabeth Joyce's incredible psychic powers on TV shows such as Unsolved Mysteries, Beyond Chance and The Psychic Detectives, as well as CNN News.

She is a frequent guest on radio shows across the country, including Coast 2 Coast AM. She has been profiled in Women's Day Magazine, Wall Street Magazine, The National Enquirer, The New York Times and other national media. Elizabeth is the author of numerous articles and guided meditation audio cassettes. Her books are all available at Amazon.com and her website as well. Ms. Joyce is a member of the Academy of Religion and Psychical Research; profiled in twelve books, three of which are The Psychic Yellow Pages (2001) by Dr. Hans Holzer, The World's Greatest Psychics (2004) by Francine Hornberger, and the revised release, America's Top 100 Psychics (2014).

Elizabeth is on the air weekly—Sundays at 9:00 PM Eastern— with "Let's Find Out," on BBSRadio..com. The show focuses on metaphysics and unveiling the truth about human consciousness, and social concerns and uplifting the heart and mind to find purpose, serenity, and peace.

 

About Elizabeth's book UNLIMITED REALITIES...

Unlimited Realities is a transformational book, showing how, when you tap into your higher guidance, you can move anything from negative to positive. It’s the first of its kind to demonstrate the inner power we all have to walk our path in a shining, powerful, sacred and comforting Light; the first step to physical and emotional healing as well as World peace. Don’t miss this insightful read.

A memoir of the life of a gifted “seer” and “healer.” How a woman transcends from pain and sorrow, as destiny taps her on the shoulder. Rather than just shrugging off her problems, she gazed upward, spiritually awakened, floated above her body, and gained great wisdom and knowledge.

When I was eight, I became ill with a touch of TB. We lived in Ridgewood, New Jersey, but Mother had grown up in Warner, New Hampshire, where her mother and family still lived. I was shipped up to grandma’s to live for a year, which was the beginning of “saving my Soul” as well as my life.

During that precious time I learned so much. Grammie taught me integrity of the heart. There in the Mink Hills of New Hampshire, I received my first nurturing. I felt the touch of God’s love, the glory of the animals, nature, clean air and water, honesty, integrity, and most of all, self-responsibility.

I came to see that the mark of true wisdom is twofold: First, it encompasses every aspect of our being, body/mind/spirit. It touches our personal lives as well as our relationships with family, community, and the world. At the same time, this new lifestyle was so simple, with no need to run, hide, or fear. I was able to feel inwardly and thought, “Yes, I knew that!” “Of course, this is natural.” There was a sense of reawakening to an understanding that Grammie believed was inherited through her ancestor generations. When we are open and touched on this deeper level, truth is instantly translated from a thought into active, workable solutions to our upsets and problems.

Such were the lessons of truth that flowed from Grandmother’s wisdom, ceaselessly. Not as platitudes, but as practical expressions of the supreme wisdom that brings success, health, enduring happiness, and love of the Divine into all circumstances of life. She filled my mind with a universal harmony and taught me that I could meet any challenge to my wellbeing. Her motto was, just listen. Get quiet, open your heart and your ears, and listen. “The heart has its reasons, which Reason knows nothing of.”

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined exactly what Grammie was preparing me for. Transformation, improvement of my family history, how to conquer any struggle between a variety of forces, as well as to locate my past-life talents and put them to use in this lifetime. To teach others how to enhance the understanding of who we are and release all that has constrained us in the past, from walking in Divine Love.

As our world civilization moves forward, the need for a means of achieving physical, mental, and spiritual harmony and balance is emerging as an absolute necessity. Today, those concepts and methods taught over the centuries are being adopted by scientists, religious leaders and experts in the physical and mental health fields that bring Light and vital insight to help guide everyone with the current ongoing and vital challenges. The human being is now entering the reality of Spiritual Connections with the Universe and whatever that can bring as we all ascend to a higher consciousness.

Ms. Joyce is located in the Doylestown, PA. area. For an appointment call the 24hr answering service and someone will get back to you — 201-934-8986.

The People Speak Guest, Alison Weir May 19, 2015
Journalist/Director If Americans Knew

Journalist Alison Weir is the executive director of "If Americans Knew," a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing Americans with information on topics of importance that are misreported or under-reported in the American media. She is also on the board of directors
of the Council for the National Interest.

In February and March of 2001 Alison left her position as editor of MarinScope newspaper in Sausalito, California, to travel independently as a freelance reporter throughout Gaza  and the West Bank. Upon her return she founded If Americans Knew. She continues to research the issue intensively, her library on the issue now includes over 100 books, and she recently returned from three months traveling through the West Bank, Israel, and the Golan Heights.

In March of 2004, Weir was inducted into honorary membership of Phi Alpha Literary Society, founded in 1845 at Illinois College. The award cited her as a: "Courageous journalist-lecturer on behalf of human rights. The first woman to receive an honorary membership in Phi Alpha history."

ABOUT 'Against Our Better Judgement: The Hidden History of How the U.S. was used to Create Israel by Alison Weir...

"Prodigiously documented... Alison Weir must be highly commended for throwing such a brilliantly hard light on the relationship between the United States and Israel. I hope this marvelous book gets all the attention it deserves." - Ambassador Andrew Killgore, Publisher, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.

 Soon after WWII, US statesman Dean Acheson warned that creating Israel on land already inhabited by Palestinians would "imperil" both American and all Western interests in the region. Despite warnings such as this one, President Truman supported establishing a Jewish state on land primarily inhabited by Muslims and Christians.

Few Americans today are aware that US support enabled the creation of modern Israel. Even fewer know that US politicians pushed this policy over the forceful objections of top diplomatic and military experts.

As this work demonstrates, these politicians were bombarded by a massive pro-Israel lobbying effort that ranged from well-funded and very public Zionist organizations to an "elitist secret society" whose members included Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.

AGAINST OUR BETTER JUDGMENT brings together meticulously sourced evidence to illuminate a reality that differs starkly from the prevailing narrative. It provides a clear view of the history that is key to understanding one of the most critically important political issues of our day.

Galactic Connection Guest, Sheldan Nidle May 19, 2015
Representative and Lecturer for the Galactic Federation of Light

Sheldan Nidle was born in New York City on Nov. 11, 1946, and grew up in Buffalo, New York. His first extraterrestrial and UFO experiences began shortly after his birth and were highlighted all through his childhood by various modes of contact phenomena, as well as accompanying manifestations - light-form communications, extraterrestrial visitations, and teaching/learning sessions on board spacecraft. During most of his life, he has enjoyed ongoing telepathic communications and direct 'core knowledge' inserts (etheric and physical implants). Sheldan has visually observed and physically experienced spacecraft throughout the years.

Around the age of fourteen, Sheldan requested that the Sirians and their Galactic Federation of Light Allies discontinue communications with him because he was experiencing overwhelming conflict between their scientific knowledge and what he was learning here on Earth. They left, but the Sirians and their Galactic Federation of Light Allies told him that they would be back when it was time to complete his mission for planet Earth and her people. In high school, he was placed in advanced science programs in subject areas such as physics, chemistry, and calculus.

Sheldan received an M.A. in Political Science from the University at Buffalo in 1968. He also received an M.A. in Southeast Asian Government from Ohio University in 1970 and an M.A. in American Politics and International Public Administration from the University of Southern California, where he also pursued a Ph.D. program (1974-76). In the 1970s, he was Vice-President for Scientific Programming at Syntar Productions, where he co-created a documentary on the life and accomplishments of Nikola Tesla. From the 1970s through the mid-1980s, he was involved in scientific research on alternative sources of electrical energy. In the mid-1980s, his extraterrestrial contacts resumed. Currently, Sheldan is a representative and lecturer for the Galactic Federation of Light and, in November 1997, founded the Planetary Activation Organization (PAO).

Life Changes Show Guest, Christopher Caliendo May 18, 2015
World music composer, concert guitarist, and publisher

CHRISTOPHER CALIENDO

Hailed “a wunderkind!” by LA Weekly, composer, guitarist and publisher, Christoper Caliendo’s world music has been embraced world-wide finding equal resonance with film studios, philharmonics, chamber societies, the Vatican, the U. S. Military, virtuosi, political figures and celebrities.

His music is performed and recorded  by students and virtuosi alike and has been the subject of  doctoral dissertations. His sheet music catalog of world music for flute alone has more than 350 original compositions and arrangements made available as digital downloads.

Keith Hannaleck of Gramophone Magazine has described Christopher as, “… one fantastic guitar player … simply masterful and as fluid as humanly possible. A great composer … one of the best musicians in the world.”

GUEST: CHRISTOPHER CALIENDO

Hailed “A Wunderkind!” by LA Weekly, Christopher Caliendo is a world music composer and concert guitarist whose diverse music styles—featuring everything from Brazilian samba to Italian folk songs to American pop music to classical melodies—have been embraced worldwide, finding equal resonance with film studios, philharmonics, chamber societies, the Vatican, fellow artists, political figures and celebrities.

As a world music composer, Caliendo is considered a “best bet” by the Los Angeles Times, with more than 500 published works, many of which are standards in today’s repertoire. The complete catalog is now represented in 47 stores nationwide with additional presence in Belgium, Canada, England and South Korea. In recognition of this achievement, Caliendo has won numerous honors, including 10-time winner of the National Flute Association’s Newly Published Sheet Music Award.

Notable recent commissions for Caliendo’s work include Sherlock Holmes: Symphonic Suite, his fourth composition to be commissioned by the Pacific Chamber Symphony, which premiered March 2014 in California; Soccor, commissioned by the Dèdalo Ensemble, which will have its world premiere in October 2014 in Brescia, Italy; The Hobbit: Symphonic Suite, also commissioned by the Pacific Chamber Symphony, which will have its world premiere November 2014 in California; and Enders’s Game: Concert Band Suite, commissioned by the United States Air Force, a recording of which will release December 2014 to honor the 70th anniversary of D-Day.

As a composer for film and television, Caliendo’s accomplishments include the 20th Century Fox-commissioned soundtrack to John Ford’s 1924 silent film The Iron Horse. Called an “excellent orchestral score” by New York Times film critic Dave Kehr, the 136- minute original work was featured at 20th Century Fox’s 75th anniversary celebration in 2010, where selections were performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, along with music from Alfred Newman, David Raskin, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams and Rodgers and Hammerstein. The soundtrack was also included in the Top 10 Film Scores of 2007 by Film Score Monthly magazine.

Also of note: Caliendo won the National Society of Film Critics 2007 Film Heritage Award for his work on The Iron Horse. He won the award again in 2008 for composing original scores for movies featured on 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s Murnau, Borzage and Fox DVD box set.

Caliendo was also commissioned by Sony Pictures to compose a new score for the 2005 re-release of Sam Peckinpah’s 1965 feature Major Dundee, which earned him the honor of being the first composer in film history to re-score a major motion picture. Film critic Leonard Maltin declared the score “A great victory!” while Grover Crisp of Sony Pictures said “[The score] is in the vein of Jerry Goldsmith or Elmer Bernstein or Alex North scores for similar pictures: Big where it needs to be, intimate where it needs to be, but really full-bodied and complex, fitting its subject perfectly.”

Caliendo has also written music for the documentary Life Is Love, which premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival in 2014, and for the TV series’ Dallas, Knot’s Landing and Paradise, for which he received an Emmy nomination in 1988.

Additional composing honors for Caliendo include the Artin Arslanian Music Scholarship for Composition; the Henry Mancini Music Scholarship; the Leonard Goldberg Music Scholarship for Composition; the Music Now Award; the Peabody Grant for Humanities; the Wilma Drama Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement in the Humanities; commissions by three state senators to premiere and perform new “chamber jazz” works at fund-raising events; and a decorative scroll from the City of Los Angeles commemorating Caliendo’s distinction as the first American to be twice-commissioned by Pope John Paul II for the Vatican’s “Encounters of Sacred Contemporary Music Festival” in Rome, Italy, where he debuted The Mystic Saints, a two-hour drama based on four of the Catholic church’s most enigmatic pioneers in Western spirituality.

As a concert guitarist, Keith Hannaleck of Gramophone magazine has described Caliendo as “one fantastic guitar player…simply masterful and as fluid as humanly possible…[one] of the best musicians in the world.” He has performed with many Hollywood luminaries, including Larry King, Linda Hamilton, Ron Perlman, The Manhattan Transfer and Walter Koenig, and was selected by Bob Hope to be the featured performer for his 90th birthday celebration. He is also a recording artist for major film studios on movie soundtracks and currently tours his world music with the Caliendo Trio. Caliendo is endorsed by Kevin Ryan guitars, performing on the model “The Mission Grand,” and has numerous CD recordings.

In addition to being a world music composer and concert guitarist, Caliendo is also a guest speaker, teacher, conductor, performer and master-class technician at major universities and other venues. His motivational seminar, “Composing Success,” based on his substantial knowledge of the music industry, targets both composers and performers who wish to establish self-reliance and accountability, knowing their creative actions are in alignment with their creative purpose.

Caliendo’s love of music began at an early age, playing guitar at age 9 and composing music at age 14. He is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and the University of California, Los Angeles, where he received a Master of Fine Arts in music and graduated magna cum laude.

John Barbours World Guest, Jeff Rense May 18, 2015
Radio Host

Beginning his 22nd year in talk radio, the Jeff Rense Program remains completely unique as is his Rense Radio Network. Although Jeff's content and style have been copied and 'borrowed' by many competitors, none can become something they are not. An original is just that and Jeff is, truly, one of a kind. No ego, no arrogance, no shouting and ranting, the program is genuine journalism, intellect, reason, care and concern...and true inquiry. Many programs are nothing less that journeys of the mind into subjects and analyses that are presented in the most unique, listenable and intelligent fashion in the industry. Many term the program the best interview and analysis program of all.
 
After being under exclusive contract with the major talk networks like Premiere Radio Networks and the Talk Radio Network (TRN), Jeff finally decided that the only real job security - and freedom - in the medium was to be found in working as an independent network. To that end, Jeff began his own network, the Rense Radio Network, which now has 5 superior talk hosts and programs, 24/7 which can be listened to. The network fills out the 24 hour clock by re-broadcasting these outstanding programs around the clock so there are several options for listeners to tune in to hear their favorites at their convenience. Further, the network also offers the listeners the option of hearing any of the programs at any time they wish online through the immediate archiving of each host's programs. This wonderful listen-on-demand archive option makes it perfect for host and listeners alike.
 
A true pioneer and original, Jeff was one of the very first to integrate the visual side of the internet into live radio broadcasting. For example, if a guest has any images, photos, or other material that can enhance his or her presentation on the program, Jeff will link to those images on a special page, or directly to the guest's own internet site and make the radio experience a visually interactive one. This format proved to be very successful and soon many program hosts were doing similar things which has given the radio 'theater of the mind' experience a new visual dynamic.
 
Another first, was Jeff's concept of pooling a stellar group of recurring monthly guests into his program lineup. Over time, he carefully selected many top geopolitical commentators and analysts, UFO and paranormal experts, and health and environmental authorities to form this unique and world-renowned core of truly memorable journalists, authors and researchers who bring a solid bedrock of knowledge and wisdom to Jeff's program on a continual regular basis. Other radio hosts have tried to build their shows by duplicating this concept but none have achieved the success that this group of truly remarkable individuals has achieved in what amounts to almost an ensemble cast of the best of the best.
