  Bob Drury, Craig DeRoche, and Wayne Miller 13.10.2026 1h

  Bob Drury, Craig DeRoche, and Wayne MillerOn a simulcast of the celebrity interviews live from the Grotto, the recurring segment with co-host Greg Hanna, Neil welcomes New York Times bestselling author Bob Drury to talk about The Phantom: The Untold Story of the American Marine the Nazis Could Not Kill, his latest collaboration with writing partner Tom Clavin. Drury explains the pair’s signature approach of finding untold stories of ordinary men who rise to extraordinary circumstances in wartime, and how a book they planned on the Jedburgh commandos kept leading them back to one remarkable figure, Marine Peter “Pete” Ortiz. Ortiz spoke six languages, served in the French Foreign Legion, and was recruited by the OSS to drop behind Nazi lines, where he operated so elusively, often in full Marine uniform, that the Gestapo put a bounty on him and nicknamed him “Das Phantom.” Drury shares his own extraordinary background as a war correspondent of twenty years, wounded more than once, and describes how that experience shaped his writing and his admiration for the troops and combat cameramen he covered. Asked the co-host’s standing question about the most important thing he has learned, Drury’s answer is to stay true to yourself. The book is out now wherever books are sold.Neil’s next guest is Craig DeRoche, CEO of Family Policy Alliance and a former Speaker of the Michigan House, for a conversation about the political landscape heading into the midterms. Speaking throughout as his own perspective as the head of a socially conservative Christian advocacy organization, DeRoche argues that races widely described as settled are in fact closer and more contested than the coverage suggests, makes his case about voter turnout and how polling can shape behavior, and encourages listeners on his side to vote all the way down the ballot. He and Neil also discuss name, image, and likeness rights for college athletes, where both favor letting athletes earn in an open market with sensible guardrails, and the question of how, and at what level of government, artificial intelligence should be regulated, which DeRoche frames as a states’ rights issue. These are contested political topics, offered here as the guest’s own views. Find his organization at familypolicyalliance.com.The show closes with a simulcast of the Storehouse Media Group podcast, hosted by Sherrie and Jen, welcoming author Wayne Miller, a retired ATF agent and certified fire investigator with decades on both the law-enforcement and insurance sides of fire and explosion cases. Miller discusses his book Burn Boston Burn, the true account of 264 fires set over less than two years by a group that included police officers and firefighters, a case he frames as early domestic terrorism tied to deep firefighter layoffs in Boston. He walks through how painstaking the investigation was in an era before security cameras, GPS, and social media, and talks about his other titles, Bang Boom Burn, the fictional Flames of Secrecy, and the children’s book Mystery of the Missing Moon. Miller shares that he is now executive producer on both a documentary and a motion picture based on Burn Boston Burn, with a script written and filming expected partly around Boston, and recounts being filmed alongside one of the arsonists he has come to know. He closes on an emotional note, recalling the 1999 Worcester warehouse fire that took the lives of six firefighters, a loss that still weighs on him.Find Bob Drury’s The Phantom wherever books are sold, Craig DeRoche at familypolicyalliance.com, and Wayne Miller’s Burn Boston Burn and his other titles online and at booksellers.

  Denny Seiwell, Christine Waltz, Dr. David Sequeira, and Dr. Anila Bindal 13.10.2026 1h

  Denny Seiwell, Christine Waltz, Dr. David Sequeira, and Dr. Anila BindalOn the Total Celebrity segment, Neil welcomes legendary drummer Denny Seiwell, the first musician Paul McCartney called after the Beatles broke up. Seiwell recounts auditioning for the Ram album, getting the career-changing call days later, and the vacation invitation to Scotland that turned into the founding of Wings. He reflects warmly on those years, the highs and the hard breakup, and on staying close friends with McCartney, even lending a hand on upcoming reissues. The heart of the conversation is his return to his first love, jazz, with the Denny Seiwell Trio alongside John Cuddihy and Joe Bagg. After their earlier record Reckless Abandon, the trio has a new album, Boomerang, on Cuarto Valley Records, featuring the single Cheetahs & Gazelles and a jazz reworking of Live and Let Die that McCartney himself loved. Find Denny at dennyseiwell.com.Next, in a simulcast of the Reset Medical and Wellness Podcast with host Dr. Michael Lauer, the Partner of the Month spotlight features Christine Waltz, founder and president of For the Love of a Veteran. Christine shares how the nonprofit grew from sending care packages to a deployed son into a national effort that has now funded more than 1,100 stellate ganglion block (SGB) treatments for PTSD, removing the financial and logistical barriers veterans face. Moved by the toll of veteran suicide, she explains how the organization cuts through red tape to simply pay for care, has built a network of clinics across the country, and has broadened its reach to first responders, frontline workers, and survivors of trauma. She and Dr. Lauer discuss SGB as one important step within a larger healing journey that works best alongside therapy, offered as their clinical perspective rather than individual medical advice. Learn more at fortheloveofaveteran.org or theresetcenter.com.Neil’s author guest is Dr. David Sequeira, a clinical social psychologist discussing his book The Road to a Happy Destiny. Born in Africa to Indian parents and educated across several continents, Dr. Sequeira spent 24 years working with people facing alcohol and drug addiction before broadening his practice, and he describes adapting the familiar twelve steps, swapping “alcohol” for “people, places, and things,” into a method anyone can use. He frames his approach like rounding the bases in baseball: first getting physically well, then clearing the past, then tending to the spiritual, before reaching the home base of peace and happiness. At 88, he offers himself as living proof, emphasizing self-esteem, boundaries, releasing the need for control, and the idea that you cannot give others a peace you do not first cultivate in yourself. He also touches on his earlier, acclaimed book The Machismo and Marianismo Tango.The show closes with a health segment featuring Dr. Anila Bindal, who clears up misconceptions about continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs. She explains that CGMs, small sensors worn on the arm, are not only for people with Type 1 diabetes or those on insulin, and that for the more than 30 million Americans living with Type 2 diabetes, seeing glucose trends in real time can reveal how meals, exercise, and medication affect the body. Dr. Bindal notes that research links CGM use to better measures like A1C and time in range, and that many people simply become more engaged in managing their condition once they can see their patterns. She encourages patients to ask their doctor whether a CGM might help, and offers this as general education, not individual medical advice.Find Denny Seiwell at dennyseiwell.com, Christine Waltz’s nonprofit at fortheloveofaveteran.org, Reset Medical and Wellness at theresetcenter.com, and Dr. David Sequeira’s The Road to a Happy Destiny on Amazon.

  Coolio, Dr. Robert E. Marx, and Yair Pinto 12.10.2026 1h

  On the Total Celebrity segment, Neil is honored to welcome hip hop legend Coolio, who reflects on a career built on hard work and instinct. He recalls the turning point when an A&R urged him to rewrite a song’s lyrics to make them more universal, and how that instinct became the defining moment that proved he knew what he was doing, leading to his Grammy-winning smash Gangsta’s Paradise, a record he describes as its own entity that in a sense wrote him. He traces his path from early singles through reinventing his brand and crossing into the mainstream, and talks about how the business changed from albums and CDs to streaming, piracy, and artists putting out their own work. Coolio also shares the personal story behind his cookbook, Cookin’ with Coolio, born after his mother’s passing when he set out to recreate the flavors he grew up with, and previews new music, a return of his cooking show, and projects with smooth-jazz artist Jarrell “Jeraz” Posey.The hour continues with a simulcast of the Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, where Dr. Marx, a longtime head and neck cancer surgeon, hosts fellow oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Creed Haymond of Aspire Surgical in Utah for a frank conversation about smoking-related cancers. Dr. Marx lays out the science, that it is the tars released by high-heat combustion, not nicotine itself, that carry the carcinogens, and that the great majority of oral and lung cancers trace back to cigarette smoking, with added warnings about the unregulated additives in vaping. Dr. Haymond shares the unconventional, heartfelt approach he uses to help patients quit, appealing not to statistics they have already heard but to their love for children and grandchildren as a reason to find the strength from within, a method he says succeeds with a striking share of the patients he treats. The doctors frame all of this as their own clinical perspective and encouragement rather than individual medical advice. Dr. Marx’s book 28 Life-Changing Patients is available at drrobertemarks.net.Neil’s final guest, broadcasting live, is Israeli journalist and IDF reservist Yair Pinto, who shares his firsthand account of the October 7, 2023 attack and the daily reporting it set in motion. Pinto describes waking to rocket sirens on a Jewish holiday, being called up to reserve duty, and realizing there was a second front in the battle over public opinion and the truth of what was happening. He explains how that led to his daily program and book, both called Boots on the Ground, reported from border areas and inside Gaza, and now followed by a large YouTube audience. Speaking throughout as his own perspective on a deeply contested conflict, Pinto stresses a distinction he says is often misunderstood, that his quarrel is with terrorist organizations rather than the Palestinian people, pointing to Palestinian friends and coworkers and to coexistence he describes in Judea and Samaria, and he details the warnings he says the IDF issues to civilians before operating in populated areas. He argues much of the global narrative is shaped by misinformation, and offers his account as an attempt to help listeners understand the situation for themselves.Find Coolio at coolioworld.com and jerezmusic.com, Dr. Robert E. Marx and 28 Life-Changing Patients at drrobertemarks.net, Dr. Creed Haymond at Aspire Surgical in Utah, and Yair Pinto’s book at bootsonthegroundbook.com.

  Dave Foley, Dr. Harold Kooden, and Mary Shearer Eckert 12.10.2026 1h

  Dave Foley, Dr. Harold Kooden, and Mary Shearer EckertOn the Total Celebrity segment, Neil welcomes comedian and actor Dave Foley to talk about his role as hospital administrator Pat on ABC’s Dr. Ken. Foley reflects on his start with the sketch troupe Kids in the Hall, a group he likens to a bar band that got its own TV show, and on the joy of still telling jokes for a living after three decades. He praises co-star Ken Jeong as a powerhouse performer in the mold of Martin Short, especially in front of the live multi-cam audience, and describes his own character as a well-meaning mess who never considers that he should stop talking. He previews the Valentine’s episode, “Dave’s Valentine,” featuring guest stars Joel McHale and Danny Pudi of Community, and shares that the five Kids in the Hall members are talking about reuniting for a new project, whether a limited series or a movie, after their recent tour.Neil’s author guest is Dr. Harold Kooden, a clinical psychologist and longtime activist who discusses his book Golden Men: The Power of Gay Midlife. Dr. Kooden, now 90, recounts his early activism and his role as the first openly gay psychologist to speak before the American Psychological Association’s governing council around the time homosexuality was removed as a mental-illness classification. He explains that he wrote the book to help men confront both internalized stigma and negative cultural messages about aging, and that its lessons on self-acceptance, finding a supportive community, and holding on to hope have resonated far beyond its original audience, with readers of every background telling him it speaks to them. The heart of his message is that anyone who has navigated a life crisis has already learned skills they can draw on as they age, and that growing older well comes down to respecting one’s body and refusing to measure oneself by society’s standards. He shares this as his own professional and personal perspective, including candid reflection on living many decades with HIV, rather than as medical advice; he notes the book can be downloaded free from his website.The hour continues with a simulcast of the Wounded Sisters podcast, hosted by best-selling author Mary Shearer Eckert. Mary talks about the courage it takes to share one’s story and to let go of the past in order to help others, drawing on the biblical figure of Esther as a model of bravery. She explains that her novel Wounded Sisters weaves together threads of forgiveness, of others and of self, and of learning to trust God with one’s history, and that her prayer is for the book to bring healing to women and men who carry shame from painful experiences. Her message is that life is not only about winning; going the distance through struggle and then sharing those moments can lift others who are broken. She also reveals that a book trailer and eventual film are in the works, and that she has finished a first draft of the sequel, Herbal Teas and Honeybees, which follows the same characters through the theme of grief.The show closes with the recurring AI Office Hours simulcast, where co-host Pat Riley updates Neil on his week of hands-on experiments with AI agents and assistants. Pat shares progress cleaning up his web app and standing up new autonomous agents, his testing of several competing tools and voice setups, and the practical headaches and trade-offs of building a voice-first workflow, giving listeners a candid, real-world look at where the tools help and where they still fall short. As always, the two trade a little good-natured sports talk before wrapping up.Find Dave Foley’s Dr. Ken episode “Dave’s Valentine,” Dr. Harold Kooden and Golden Men: The Power of Gay Midlife at his website or on Amazon, and Mary Shearer Eckert’s Wounded Sisters at maryschereckert.com.

  Corbin Bernsen and Chaute A. Johnson 08.10.2026 1h

  On the Total Celebrity segment, Neil welcomes back actor Corbin Bernsen to talk about the film When We Last Spoke, a warm family story based on the novel and co-starring Melissa Gilbert, whom Bernsen has known since they were both young. He describes it as a touching tale of rekindled family, forgiveness, and the human spirit, and reflects on how the past stretch of life has pushed everyone toward what matters most. Bernsen plays Walt, a man ready to settle into his own quiet life who is suddenly entrusted with raising two granddaughters after his son is killed in the war, a role he says mirrors his own experience as a father of four sons. He explains that he is drawn to simple, heartfelt scripts that strike a chord in the better part of the human spirit, and he speaks candidly about the toll of a strange season on his industry and on families kept apart, finding steadiness in his faith. His message is that through every trial, family and love ultimately conquer all. When We Last Spoke is available Friday.Neil’s author guest is Chaute A. Johnson, who discusses her debut novel On the Front Line in the Cosmic Conflict, the first in a planned series. Chaute, who is blind, shares how writing became the one creative pursuit she could do entirely on her own, using adaptive technology that reads her words back to her, and she encourages other visually impaired and disabled writers that the sky is the limit if the determination is there. She walks through her process of capturing a scene or dialogue first, then building the context and chaining chapters together, and makes the case that hearing a manuscript read aloud reveals emotion, tone, and flow a silent read can miss. Her novel pulls back the veil on the long war between God and Satan as it plays out in human lives, following Steve Roberts, a man facing eviction who turns to the bottle and becomes entangled with its demon, and Matthew Day, an intern pastor wrestling with his calling who is prepared to fight for Steve’s soul. Rooted in an encounter years ago with a homeless man in Brooklyn, the book challenges readers, especially Christians, to rethink what it truly means to minister to others. Neil, a former special education teacher and advocate, praised her for carrying a torch for writers with disabilities.The hour closes with the recurring AI Office Hours simulcast, where co-host Pat Riley walks Neil through a week of hands-on experiments across the fast-moving world of AI agents and assistants. Pat shares wins building out his web app and autonomous agents, his testing of several competing tools and voice setups, and the practical headaches and trade-offs of relying on voice-first workflows, offering listeners a candid, real-world look at where the tools shine and where they still frustrate. As always, the two trade a bit of good-natured sports talk before wrapping up.

  Soleil Moon Frye, Dr. Louise Stanger, and Pastor Mark Biltz 08.10.2026 1h

  Soleil Moon Frye, Dr. Louise Stanger, and Pastor Mark BiltzOn the Total Celebrity segment, Neil welcomes Punky Brewster star Soleil Moon Frye, who reflects on how the show became “a way of our lives” and still moves people decades later, with her best friend Cherie beside her through it all. She points fans to her Hulu documentary Kid 90, a coming-of-age story she began about everyone else before it turned personal, and teases new documentaries in the works, the return of Proud Family on Disney Plus, and the continuation of Punky. The heart of the conversation is her work with the Ask2BeSure campaign raising awareness of meningitis B, a vaccine many families overlook. Soleil explains that a dear friend first told her about it, that the illness hits teens aged 16 to 23 hardest, that it can turn life-threatening within 24 hours, and that roughly four in five 17-year-olds have not received even one dose. After learning more, she spoke with her daughter’s pediatrician and encourages parents to simply ask their doctor, pharmacist, or care provider. She also shares her pride in CORE, the disaster-relief organization she co-founded with Ann Lee and Sean Penn, now on the ground in Haiti.Neil’s author guest is Dr. Louise Stanger, who discusses her book Trauma Is Your Superpower, built as an illustrated, flip-to-any-page work with caricatures by her friend Shyrell Fox. Dr. Louise, who is turning 80, speaks candidly about the six sudden deaths she lived through, including losing her father when she was seven and later a husband and an infant son, and argues that no one goes through life unscathed; what matters is how a person processes loss and who stands with them as mentors or “sherpas.” She and Neil trade practical ground on grief, on finding a trustworthy circle rather than yes-men, and on not confusing a temporary setback for a permanent one, with Neil opening up about his own competitor streak and the sting of losing a long-time client. Her message is that your story is still being written, you are not broken, and you get to rewrite it. This is a candid discussion of difficult life experiences, shared as Dr. Louise’s clinical and personal perspective rather than medical advice; anyone struggling is encouraged to reach out to a professional or someone they trust.In the next segment, Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries talks about Christianity, Judaism, and his life’s work building bridges rather than burning them. Jewish on his father’s side with relatives lost in the Holocaust, and raised amid Catholic and Baptist roots, he describes founding a congregation that teaches the Jewish roots of the Bible and has grown from four people in a house to a worldwide audience, with as many as 300 cities and 30 nations watching his weekend teaching. He shares vivid teaching moments, from the “rooster” who was really a temple priest to the account of Ruth and Orpah, and explains his concern with replacement theology and his conviction, framed as his own faith-based reading of Scripture, that Christians are grafted into Israel. On current events he speaks as a supporter of Israel rather than any political party, offering his perspective respectfully. He is writing a new book with an Orthodox rabbi about loving the Torah, and leads annual tours to Israel.The hour closes with a special simulcast of the Singularity Podcast featuring host Gary Lion Otto, author of Singularity: Mankind’s Search for Relevance. Neil and Gary dig into the surge of interest in artificial and digital intelligence, why fear tends to follow what people do not yet understand, and Gary’s chapters on the “Terminator Threat” and “The Teenage Years,” where capability runs ahead of wisdom. Gary pushes back on doomsday predictions while acknowledging real risks, and Neil previews a friendly debate for a coming episode on whether the singularity has truly arrived.

  Sharon Cameron, Yair Pinto, and Dr. Mohamed Tasouji 07.10.2026 1h

  The Neil Haley Show opens with New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sharon Cameron, whose historical novel Up from the Ashes she calls both historic and deeply timely. Based on the true story of Chaim Engel and Selma Wijnberg, the book follows two strangers paired to dance for the amusement of their guards inside the Sobibor death camp in 1943, who did not share a language yet, as Selma later said, made love their language and chose to become each other's reason to survive. Cameron described Sobibor's horrors plainly while framing the novel as a story of hope, drawn to the idea of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances who discover their own strength, and to the real 1943 prisoner uprising in which the couple walked out the front gate among the survivors. She argued these histories depend on the choices of ordinary individuals and challenged readers to examine how they treat others. Reflecting on resilience, she shared her own mid-30s pivot from musician to writer, sparked in forty-five free minutes, and the years of work behind her success. Find her at SharonCameronBooks.com.Marking the October 7th anniversary, Neil then welcomed Israeli journalist and IDF reservist Yair Pinto, host of the daily program Boots on the Ground on TBN Israel and author of a book by the same name. Pinto recounted waking on October 7, 2023 to rocket sirens and the news of the attack, and his decision to report daily from the front lines, he said, to counter what he described as an information war and widespread misinformation about Israel. He shared his firsthand account of reporting through missile barrages, going into tunnels with cameras, and his stated view that the conflict is with Hamas as a terrorist organization rather than with the Palestinian people, pointing to Muslims serving across Israeli society. He described, from his perspective, IDF efforts to warn civilians before operations and the humanitarian aid entering Gaza, and framed the fight as one he believes extends beyond Israel. His book pairs each chapter with a QR code linking to video he recorded on location. Learn more at bootsonthegroundbook.com.The program closes with Dr. Mohamed Tasouji, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, who drew a sharp distinction between the Iranian regime and the Iranian people, asserting that the vast majority of Iranians reject the current government and that the real struggle is between the people and the regime. He argued against a boots-on-the-ground approach as too costly, citing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and instead urged continued sanctions targeting the regime's leadership alongside support for what he called the legitimate resistance, including the Mojahedin-e Khalq. He pointed to Maryam Rajavi's NCRI and its ten-point plan calling for separation of church and state, a non-nuclear Iran, an end to executions, and gender equality, and contended that cutting off the regime's oil revenue while backing the opposition could let Iranians topple it themselves. He asked listeners not to conflate the regime with the Iranian people. Find more at the NCRI, the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

  Julie Piekarski, Mary Shearer Eckert, and Jaimie Skultety 07.10.2026 1h

  Julie Piekarski, Mary Shearer Eckert, and Jaimie SkultetyThis edition opens with a Mitchell S. Karnes Podcast simulcast featuring actress, dancer, and choreographer Julie Piekarski, who was one of just twelve children chosen from some thirty thousand for Disney's 1970s New Mickey Mouse Club before going on to play Sue Ann on The Facts of Life. Piekarski shared warm memories of filming daily, performing at Disneyland, and the show's enduring global fan base, noting the Mickey Mouse Club's fiftieth anniversary reunion is coming in January. A St. Louis native who kept up her Catholic schooling on set, she credited her parents, her faith, and mentors who told her the truth for keeping her grounded through child stardom, recalling that she turned down a potential big film break rather than compromise her values. Now a mother and grandmother acting in faith-based independent films, she discussed her dramatic role in Forgive Me, April opposite Brett Varvel, and her part as Dr. Mandy Coleman in the adaptation of host Mitchell Karnes's Water Grave mystery series. The two traded notes on writing, auditions, the shift from stay-in-your-lane TV to today's blurred streaming world, and the rising pressure of social-media following in casting.Neil then turned to a Wounded Sisters Podcast simulcast with best-selling author Mary Shearer Eckert, who spoke about the courage it takes to share your story. Drawing on the Book of Esther, whose bravery saved a nation, Eckert encouraged listeners who carry heartache, disappointment, or past hurt to let go, trust God with their past, and step out, because revealing hard truths can bring healing to others and to oneself. She framed her novel as a thread of forgiveness of others and of self, insisting that life is not about always winning or being first, and that sharing one's brokenness is itself a form of going the distance. She shared that a book trailer and eventual movie are in the works, and that she has finished the first draft of the sequel, Herbal Teas and Honeybees, which follows the same characters through the theme of grief. Purchase Wounded Sisters at maryshearereckert.com.The show closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast featuring LinkedIn visibility strategist Jaimie Skultety of UpscaleYourBusiness.com. After losing her corporate role in the 2008-2009 downturn, Skultety built a virtual assistant business and now helps coaches, consultants, and fractional executives get visible on LinkedIn. She and Neil agreed the platform's real power lies in genuine relationship-building through direct messages, never a hard sell, and in growing a focused, well-defined audience rather than connecting with everyone. She stressed profiles that speak to an ideal client instead of reading like a resume, inviting people to your profile rather than waiting for them to land there, and the newsletter as a standout tool that lands directly in subscribers' inboxes and positions the author as a thought leader, all packaged into what she calls an authority playbook for each client.

  The Neil Haley Show with Jim Poole and Dr. Robert J. McCunney 06.10.2026 1h

  Jim Poole, Chairman and CEO of NuCalm, and Dr. Robert J. McCunney, author of The Aging Code, join Neil Haley on a body under load. Poole on resetting a nervous system that never gets an off switch. McCunney on whether aging can be slowed, and what the science supports.Segment 1: Jim Poole, NuCalmAlso closed as The NSRT Podcast. Free trial on air: nsrt.ai. More episodes: nsrt.ai/podcast.Poole frames NuCalm as neuroscience, not a sleep soundtrack. Inventor Dr. Blake Holloway spent 19 years on nonlinear algorithms so the brain cannot habituate. Inaudible physics sits under music. With headphones and an eye mask, Rescue guides the brain to 4 Hz, deep theta, in about 240 seconds.At 4 to 7 Hz, Poole says, cells do maintenance and the vagus nerve engages. He cites Dr. Chung-Kang (CK) Peng of Harvard Medical School: about 20 minutes equated, in Peng’s early observation, to roughly two hours of restorative sleep. This does not replace sleep. Live to 100, he says, and you should sleep about 33 of those years. Physics can supplement a short night. It cannot erase sleep debt.Origin: November 5, 2009, a Chicago hospital, a $6,000 FDA Class III device. A patient was prepared in four minutes and operated on without anesthesia. Poole says more than 2.7 million procedures have followed. At 4 Hz, the patient knows surgery is happening and cannot find a place to care.Tracks: Rescue at 4 Hz, Deepest Sleep near 0.5 Hz on a speaker, Flow State at 7.83 Hz, Focus around 18.4 Hz, and a 41 Hz peak track. When FBI trainees called it mind control, he agreed, and listed caffeine, alcohol, and pharmaceuticals as the same idea by other means.For Neil’s early Los Angeles flight: Rescue on the plane, 20 to 30 minutes with headphones and an eye mask after landing, then Deepest Sleep in the hotel. Both are required to hit 4 Hz. Poole claims no jet lag in 17 years, including meetings right after a 37-hour arrival in Singapore. Partners: FedEx pilots, FBI Hostage Rescue, Navy SEALs, BORTAC, BORSTAR, and 79 pro teams since 2011. Tony Robbins asked in 2015 if two hours of sleep plus the app was enough. Poole said no.Law enforcement: thirties bring caffeine, alcohol, and wrecked sleep; fifties bring hypertension, colitis, and diabetes. Protocol: Rescue at least 20 minutes a day plus Deepest Sleep. Next targets: about 750,000 U.S. officers and 18.4 million veterans.Segment 2: Dr. Robert J. McCunney, The Aging CodeMcCunney practices at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and on the Harvard Medical School faculty. Former director of environmental medicine at MIT. The Aging Code is book two in the Dan Murphy series, after Cluster.A New York Times health journalist, a United Nations physician seeing accelerated-aging illnesses, and a Russian geneticist who loses his family in Donbas. McCunney researched aging, CRISPR, and the Russia-Ukraine war before plotting. Fiction. Science from peer-reviewed work.Animal studies have extended lifespan in mice with peptides, stem cells, and several drugs. Rapamycin has extended mouse lifespan about 30 to 50 percent. Immune suppression can invite unusual infections, and mouse data is not a human protocol.Progeria affects about 400 to 500 children and traces to one DNA change. At 18, patients can look 85. An Austin company is marketing a klotho vector in Honduras, Mexico, and Panama, not in the United States. Bench to bedside still runs about 10 years.Sleep debt cannot be repaid. A balanced nervous system can still change the day. Aging can be studied. Living forever is still a hypothesis.

  Christopher Rice, Maya Christobel, and Gary Lyon Otto 06.10.2026 1h

  Christopher Rice, Maya Christobel, and Gary Lyon OttoThe Neil Haley Show opens with a Celebrity Interviews simulcast alongside Greg Hanna welcoming New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice to talk about his latest novel, Sapphire Storm, part of his Sapphire Cove series. Rice shared that he originally wanted to be an actor and turned to writing in his college dorm as a creative outlet no one could take from him, and spoke candidly about being the son of the late Anne Rice, acknowledging that a famous last name opened early doors but that staying in the business means consistently producing work readers love. After a career steeped in dark psychological thrillers and horror, he described Sapphire Storm as a deliberate challenge to write a sweet, happily-ever-after love story about two men, a full-blown nighttime soap opera he likened to Yellowstone crossed with Dynasty and The Love Boat. His guiding principle came from his mother's best advice: write the book you want to read, not the one you think will sell. The biggest lesson he has learned, he said, is that other people are not paying as much attention to him as he imagines, which frees him to be more himself.Neil then turned to a Reset Medical and Wellness simulcast co-hosted by Dr. Michael Lauer, featuring trauma specialist Maya Christobel, a Harvard-trained psychotherapist with more than three decades of clinical experience who calls herself a traumatologist. Christobel traced her evolution from marriage and family therapy to the realization that when clients got triggered they snapped back to square one, a sign that something neurological, not just psychological, was at work. That led her to EVOX, a voice-based biofeedback technology she has used for over two decades to address how the stories we carry are imprinted in the nervous system, including intergenerational trauma, illustrated by a client whose lifelong food-hoarding anxiety traced back to ancestors lost in the potato famine. She and Dr. Lauer discussed how she now considers the Reset, a stellate ganglion block offered at the Reset Center, essential for many of her trauma patients, because calming a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight lets the deeper reprocessing work actually hold. Both emphasized that trauma is a whole-body injury deserving real care, and that healing ripples outward to families. Connect with the Reset Center at theresetcenter.com or 1-877-RESET10.The program closes with a Singularity Podcast simulcast featuring co-host Gary Lion Otto, author of Singularity: Mankind's Search for Relevance. With artificial intelligence dominating the headlines, Otto pushed back on doomsayer predictions, arguing it makes no sense for digital intelligence to destroy the humanity that created it and that fear tends to come from not understanding something. Drawing on chapters from his book, he framed the current moment as the teenage years, intelligence before wisdom, where systems may break rules or test boundaries simply because they can, without malice. He argued that heavy-handed government control cannot contain something as fluid as AI development, especially while rival nations keep building, and predicted that as digital intelligence matures it will move toward governing itself around his two guiding values, what works and harmony, since there is no advantage to either side in a war between humanity and AI.

  Ken Jeong, Dr. Robert J. McCunney, Jodi Corbet, and Cheryl Lovell 29.09.2026 1h

  This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with actor and comedian Ken Jeong, who called this the greatest year of his career as his ABC series Dr. Ken wrapped its final episode. Jeong, known to fans from Community and The Hangover, described the joy of building a family comedy rooted in his own life as a doctor and father of twin daughters, and of bringing back friends and comedy heroes like his Community co-stars and Jeffrey Ross as guests. He highlighted a favorite Ken-and-Molly episode in which his character takes his daughter, played by Krista Marie Yu, and her friends to an Emblem3 concert to reconnect with a girl he feels slipping away, alongside a subplot involving Pat and Damona, played by Dave Foley and Tisha Campbell-Martin. Jeong and Neil traded thoughts on how fathers instinctively struggle to relate to daughters and the male urge to fix everything, and Jeong noted that unlike his self-aware real self, his character Ken Park has no self-awareness at all, which is where the comedy lives.Neil then welcomed Harvard physician and author Dr. Robert J. McCunney to discuss his medical thriller The Aging Code. McCunney explained that he builds his novels around topics he wants to learn more about, in this case the science of aging, gene therapy and CRISPR, and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, weaving them through a health journalist, a United Nations clinic physician, and a Russian emigre genetic scientist. He walked Neil through genuinely striking research: medications like rapamycin extending the lifespan of lab mice by thirty to fifty percent, the rare genetic condition progeria that accelerates aging through a single DNA mutation, and gene-therapy work involving the protein klotho. He drew a careful distinction between life expectancy, a statistical average, and lifespan, which he said is now truly increasing for the first time since Roman times, and cautioned about the real dangers of unproven biohacking, since a drug that suppresses the immune system carries serious risk without careful dosing and long-term study. Citing Harvard geneticist David Sinclair's view that aging itself might be treated as a disease, McCunney, who is seventy-eight and still sees patients, offered his own credo: take risks, don't chase money, and love what you do.The program continues with a Jesus and Ugly Jodi simulcast featuring Jodi Corbett, who introduced Five Stones Ministry, a new church based in Longboat Key, Florida, with a global online presence holding its very first service. Corbett explained the name from David choosing five smooth stones to face Goliath, and described a church built to complement rather than replace people's local Sunday congregations. Its flagship effort is a Widows' Fund, guided by 1 Timothy 5, to help pastors' and missionaries' widows with mortgages and other financial burdens while affirming their ongoing value and gifts. He also outlined Peacemaker Security, drawn from his years in law enforcement and the FBI, which aims to reduce violence and eliminate homicides by hiring people from within troubled communities, along with planned ministries in pastoral care and orphan support.The show closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast featuring Cheryl Lovell, founder of CLC Group. A Navy veteran of the Gulf War who pivoted from nursing into healthcare administration, Lovell built and sold her own home health, hospice, and palliative care companies before moving into consulting. She works across the post-acute space, helping organizations from startups to a hundred-and-fifty-million-dollar operations diagnose whether their real need is operational reorganization, growth, marketing, or acquisition.

  Roma Downey, Willem Geri, Michael Aguas, and Jodi Corbet 29.09.2026 1h

  Roma Downey, Willem Geri, Michael Aguas, and Jodi CorbetThe Neil Haley Show opens with a Celebrity Interviews simulcast alongside Greg Hanna welcoming beloved actress and producer Roma Downey, who reflected warmly on her years playing the angel Monica on Touched by an Angel before turning to her new family drama The Baxters, launching on Amazon Prime Video for Easter. Downey explained that she first came to the material as a fan, unable to put down Karen Kingsbury's Redemption series, and reached out to the author for the rights to adapt it. The result follows Elizabeth and John Baxter, played by Downey and Ted McGinley, and their five adult children, a multigenerational family of faith who turn to prayer when life brings them to their knees. She called it a bingeable hope opera made for families to watch together, and shared that her own real-life daughter and Kathie Lee Gifford's daughter Cassidy both appear in the show. Adapting the books meant updating the 9/11-era storyline to a contemporary event with Kingsbury's blessing. Asked the most important thing she has learned, Downey offered that courage is not the absence of fear but taking action despite it, and that creative people must take the risk and start, trusting the ducks to line up afterward. She invited listeners to find her on Instagram and Facebook. Find The Baxters on Amazon Prime Video.Neil then welcomed author Willem Geri, the pen name of accomplished trial lawyer Bill Greenberg, to discuss two novels, Postwar and The Escape: La La La. Geri explained that he never set out to write fiction; when his law practice shut down during the 2020 pandemic, he sat at his desk with nothing to do and simply began, finding himself a hundred pages in before he realized he was writing a book. Postwar, rooted partly in his own father's World War II experiences in Europe, follows a combat veteran turned attorney in 1948 Berlin as he navigates the war's lasting consequences and a profound romance. The Escape: La La La is a good-versus-evil chase story about a young woman fleeing a Russian oligarch across the Mediterranean and eventually to the United States, a book he said some producers are now interested in filming given its resonance with current events involving Russia and Ukraine. Geri described writing as an escape in which he watches the movie unfold in his mind, and credited his decades as a litigator, who argues to juries without notes, for the research skills and persuasive instincts he brings to fiction. Married fifty-two years and practicing alongside his daughter, he is already at work on a third novel, Sevastopol. Find Willem Geri's books on Amazon.The program continues with a Reignstorm Radio Show simulcast featuring co-host Michael Aguas, who delivered a practical installment on long-term capital gains. Aguas explained how gains are realized and taxed when an appreciated asset is sold, why a large single-year gain can create a painful liability, and why planning before a transaction is far more powerful than after. He walked through offsetting gains with capital losses and year-end tax-loss harvesting, the three-thousand-dollar limit on deducting net losses against ordinary income, loss carryforwards, and the nuanced role of depreciation recapture, cautioning that none of it should ever be figured out for the first time on the tax return. Listeners were pointed to reignstormmediagroup.com.The show closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast featuring Sherrie and returning guest Jodi Corbet on the greatest resource in life. Opening in prayer, Corbett named the Bible, while Neil offered living water, and the conversation settled on wisdom. Drawing on Proverbs 4 and Proverbs 8, they explored how wisdom is personified as present with God at creation, and reflected on Solomon, who asked God for wisdom to lead rather than riches, was blessed abundantly, yet squandered much of it late in life through poor choices, a reminder to keep one's heart focused on God.

  Bill Bellamy, Mitchell Mueck, Jaimie Skultety, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle 29.09.2026 1h

  Bill Bellamy, Mitchell Mueck, Jaimie Skultety, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda CarleThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with comedian and actor Bill Bellamy, who reflected on how MTV launched him into the middle of 1990s pop culture and gave him the platform that led to comedy and film. Interviewing everyone from Madonna and Janet Jackson to Whitney Houston and Boyz II Men, he said, was a fantastic education, and he credited MTV with making his career work. Bellamy turned to his new film The Bounce Back, opening December 9th, in which he plays Terry Jackson, the manager and agent to Shemar Moore's character, a newly divorced author whose book about recovering from heartbreak turns him into a celebrated relationship guru even though he has no relationship of his own. Promising eighteen laughs per second, Bellamy pitched the movie as a warm holiday escape about love, second chances, and the way real connection tends to creep up when you least expect it, and he hoped audiences would leave hopeful about finding love in their own lives.Neil then welcomed author Mitchell J. Mueck to discuss his memoir The Story. Mueck, who recently turned seventy and moved to Goshen, New York, explained that after a lifetime of people telling him he had too many stories to let disappear, a quiet winter finally gave him the time to write. He shared a remarkably resilient life: one of six children raised by a single mother who supported the family playing cards, he left home at thirteen, lied about his age to become a foreman at seventeen in a Death Valley open-pit mine, married at nineteen and lost his first wife to cancer six months later, and later lost his second wife to cancer as well after twenty-two years together. Contracting polio at three and told he would never walk without a brace, he instead kept getting back up, and he framed resilience as the true engine of a meaningful life. Mueck spoke movingly about how every choice weaves into the lives of others like threads in a tapestry, and about honoring his late wives and his hardworking mother by keeping their stories alive. Neil, who related deeply as a fellow entrepreneur, urged him toward a second book covering his decades building concrete, trucking, and framing companies across several states.The program continues with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast featuring LinkedIn visibility strategist Jaimie Skultety of UpscaleYourBusiness.com. After losing her corporate role in the 2008-2009 downturn, Skultety built a virtual assistant business and eventually found her calling helping coaches, consultants, and fractional executives get visible on LinkedIn. She and Neil agreed the platform's real power lies in genuine relationship-building through direct messages, never a hard sell out of the gate, and in growing a focused, well-defined audience rather than connecting with everyone. She stressed profiles that speak to an ideal client instead of reading like a resume, the value of inviting people to your profile rather than waiting for them to land there, and the newsletter as a standout tool that lands directly in subscribers' inboxes and positions the author as a thought leader. She creates what she calls an authority playbook for each client.The show closes with a GildaGram simulcast featuring Dr. Gilda Carle, who pushed back on the sweeping claim that women alone are responsible for family tragedies. Responding to a heartbreaking news story out of Australia in which a separated father with documented emotional struggles took the lives of his young children and then his own, Dr. Gilda cautioned against the double standard in how these cases are discussed and raised hard questions about how warning signs are recognized and acted upon. She handled the painful subject with care and gravity, urging listeners toward compassion and vigilance rather than blame. Find Mitchell J. Mueck's The Story wherever books are sold.

  Peter Engel and William Meisel 29.09.2026 1h

  The Neil Haley Show opens with a warm, wide-ranging conversation with legendary television executive producer Peter Engel, the man behind Saved by the Bell and the author of the forthcoming memoir I Was Saved by the Bell, out November 15th. Engel, speaking from his home overlooking the ocean, admitted he never wanted to make the show and even told NBC president Brandon Tartikoff to find someone else, only to watch it become a global phenomenon airing in eighty-five countries at a time when few American comedies traveled beyond a handful of English-speaking markets. He credited the magic entirely to the cast, recalling the first time he gathered the young actors in one room and knew they were special. Engel walked Neil through the ensemble one by one: Mario Lopez as Slater, the most visible of the group and the one he still stays closest to, cast after Engel told his casting director to open the role to anyone regardless of ethnicity; Mark-Paul Gosselaar as the charming, scheming Zack Morris, a role he likened to a California Ferris Bueller; Dustin Diamond as Screech, whom he called a comedy genius beloved in France, and whose later struggles Engel spoke about with genuine sympathy; and the young women Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Kelly), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie), and Lark Voorhies (Lisa), all of whom, he said, made those the best years of his life. He shared the origins of the characters, many named for real friends and family, and reflected on how the show respected the genuine emotional stakes of teenage life, from first crushes to first heartbreaks. Engel noted that Saved by the Bell even featured the first cell phone ever shown on television and that Jimmy Fallon's reunion drew thirty-five million hits in four days. The memoir, he explained, spans his entire life, from NBC page and working alongside John F. Kennedy to piloting an early drone in the Army and encounters with icons like Bette Davis, Orson Welles, and John Lennon. His closing advice was simple and heartfelt: find something you love, never let anyone steal your dreams, and never give up. Find Peter Engel at iwassavedbythebell.com.Neil then welcomed author William Meisel, whose book The Limits of AI: The True Role of Computers in Our Future offers a grounded counterweight to the current hype, brought to the show through Books to Life Marketing. Meisel, a former USC professor whose PhD dissertation was on neural networks and who spent a decade running a speech-recognition company, traced the term artificial intelligence back to John McCarthy in 1955 and explained that what we call AI today rests on one specific technology, deep learning through neural networks. He argued that today's large language models are already close to the limits of what that technology can achieve, because they depend on enormous quantities of high-quality data, and the supply of genuinely new, independent data is running dry as the web fills with machine-generated text. Building ever-larger neural networks, he warned, would require exponentially more data than exists, risking what he memorably called artificial ignorance rather than artificial intelligence. Neil, drawing on his own hands-on work building AI agents, agreed that the tools falter badly when left to run unsupervised and shine only when a knowledgeable human feeds them focused data and clear direction. Meisel pointed to the real promise ahead: smaller, specialized models trained on high-quality, narrow datasets, citing impressive Caltech cancer-treatment research, along with unsupervised learning and clustering, and above all conversational digital assistants, the field he devoted years to. Both men landed on a shared conviction that AI is a powerful accelerator for human work, never a replacement for human judgment or creativity.

  Author Carolyn Mannila Harper, AI Office Hours with Pat Riley, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle 29.09.2026 1h

  This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a faith-filled conversation with author Carolyn Mannila Harper about her memoir, Why Didn't Anybody Ever Tell Me About This! A Mother's Search for a Living God. Harper, whose son was at her side during the interview, described a mother's relentless journey caring for a boy who has epileptic seizures nearly every day, a road on which doctors offered no real solutions and even some religious voices questioned her faith. Through it all, she leaned on the belief she has carried since childhood, captured in the simple line Jesus loves me this I know, and on a conviction that Jesus is real, loving, and present through every trial. Neil praised her devotion as a caregiver, and Harper framed the book not as a set of answers but as a testimony meant to encourage others facing life's hardest trials, a reminder that faith is less an idea than a relationship with a God who walks alongside us. She spoke candidly about the exhaustion and isolation of caregiving, and about learning to trust God with what she could not control. Her enduring message was simple and hopeful: no journey is too difficult when you are not walking it alone.Neil then turned to an AI Office Hours simulcast with co-host Pat Riley, a lighter installment focused on the week's wins rather than any controversy. Riley opened with a laugh, offering that his real AI lesson of the week was never to bet on what a model predicts, after the algorithms gave the Broncos a chance on Monday Night Football and were promptly proven wrong, a reminder, both agreed, that the technology still misses the human element. Riley shared that he has his AI assistant building code for him in the background while he tackles other work, and Neil said he was pleased with his own progress for the week. The pair returned to their steady theme that these tools shine as a force multiplier when a person stays in charge and keeps a hand on the wheel, and read a few listener comments along the way.The program closes with two GildaGram simulcasts featuring Dr. Gilda Carle. In the first, she used the on-again, off-again romance of Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi, now reportedly turning serious, as a springboard to explore why a rekindled relationship sometimes finally works when it did not before, urging listeners to ask what has genuinely changed, in themselves or the other person, since the last time around, since that, she said, is usually what determines whether a reunion lasts. In the second, she reflected on a meme that made her smile, be a good human being, there is a lot of opportunity and very little competition, and lamented how much greed, nastiness, and you-did-this language dominates today, leaving real room for anyone willing to lead with love, kindness, and care. She encouraged listeners to be that person. Find Carolyn Mannila Harper's Why Didn't Anybody Ever Tell Me About This wherever books are sold.

  Author Joby Walters, Author Judith Perrine Armour, Lifestyle Expert Jane Clauss, and Marine Pilot Robbie Allen 29.09.2026 1h

  Author Joby Walters, Author Judith Perrine Armour, Lifestyle Expert Jane Clauss, and Marine Pilot Robbie AllenThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with Joby Walters, author of Cut Free: A Hells Angel's Ride to Redemption. Walters, now seventy, traced an extraordinary arc from a hardened outlaw, an enforcer patched into the Hells Angels by the club's legendary founder, to a man remade by faith. He recalled a teenage brush with the Holy Spirit that frightened a boy with no family support to make sense of it, a handshake goodbye with his father at a Greyhound station before he went off to the army and Vietnam, and the long years he spent searching for identity after he came home. He said the very traits that once made him an instrument of destruction were, he now believes, God-given and meant for a different purpose. His book, he added, is a bold reminder that God's grace can reach anyone, and his mission now is to carry that message of hope to prisoners, veterans, and fellow bikers looking for a second chance, wherever the open road takes him.Neil then welcomed author Judith Perrine Armour to discuss In the Covenant of the Ark: A Prophetic Journey of Hope. A retired research chemist who once wrote scientific papers on environmental pollutants, Armour explained that she never intended to write a book, until, during Lent in 2023, she felt the Lord show her that her sin was one of omission: she had never written about her spiritual journey. Though she was seventy-seven and far more comfortable with math and molecules than prose, she began on Ash Wednesday and finished forty days later. She shared that a dream and a personal prophecy sit at the heart of the book, recounting the night she says she heard the Lord's voice, and she offers the whole of it, told through the ordinary events of her life, as a witness to a God who still speaks, heals, and loves beyond measure.The hour continued with Emmy-winning lifestyle expert Jane Clauss on how to calm the chaos this fall, a season she likes to treat as a second January and a chance to reset your routines. She walked through favorite finds for a smoother morning launch, from a Nitro Press brew kit that lets cold-brew lovers make cafe-quality coffee at home to a classic two-slot Dualit toaster with a sandwich rack and a warming rack on top, all aimed at saving time, money, and stress as everyday life ramps back up.The program closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast, hosted by Sherry, featuring Robbie "Juicy" Allen, who built a career at the intersection of aviation, leadership, and national defense and holds a stack of advanced degrees, including a PhD in business management focused on project management. A 1998 Naval Academy graduate, Allen spent years training before flying the F/A-18 as a Marine Corps combat pilot, serving as a forward air controller airborne and deploying in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom before moving on to the Pentagon and, later, a role as a director of U.S. government business development in the defense industry. He reflected on the disciplined climb from wingman to mission commander, a lifelong passion to serve that began in childhood, and the disorienting but rewarding transition from the military to the civilian world.

  L.A. Law's Michele Greene, Author Tom Askman, and the Marrow Marxman with Dr. Robert E. Marx and Eric Papenfus 08.09.2026 1h

  L.A. Law's Michele Greene, Author Tom Askman, and the Marrow Marxman with Dr. Robert E. Marx and Eric PapenfusThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Caregiver Dave celebrity segment, co-hosted by caregiver advocate Dave Nassaney, welcoming actress, singer, songwriter, and author Michele Greene, best known as attorney Abby Perkins on L.A. Law, a role that earned her a 1989 Primetime Emmy nomination and which she reprised in the 2002 reunion film. Greene shared the warmth of reconnecting with her castmates, recounting how nearly the entire cast reunited on The Talk, the first time they had all been together since the show ended, and marveled at how emotional it proved, with Michael Tucker admitting he was unprepared for how deeply it affected him. She said the group even headed out to an impromptu dinner that night, and previewed an upcoming fan signing event drawing familiar faces like Susan Ruttan and Harry Hamlin, with hopes that others, perhaps Corbin Bernsen, might turn up too. Beyond acting, Greene, raised in a bilingual Mexican and Central American household in Los Angeles, spoke to her parallel life as a bilingual singer-songwriter and author, and, over the yelps of her puppy in the background, came across as gracious and grateful for the affection fans still hold for the show.Neil then welcomed author Tom Askman to discuss his book The Way Back to Being: Tools for Returning Home. Askman explained that he never expected to become an author, having spent fifty-four years as a studio art professor, and that the book grew out of his own long journey through alcoholism and, ultimately, sobriety and a spiritual awakening. Teaching one-on-one, he said, he watched more and more students grow disillusioned, conditioned to chase happiness somewhere out in the world, and he came to believe, echoing Emerson and Wayne Dyer, that people are born connected to their authentic selves and lose that connection to overthinking and cultural programming. The book, he said, offers the practical tools that helped him reconnect, get free of addiction, and live more fully and lovingly, a message that grew out of a class he taught and that his students urged him to put into writing.The program closes with a Dr. Robert E. Marx Show and Million Dollar Minutes simulcast, produced by Michael Aguas, spotlighting the newly FDA-cleared Marrow Marxman, a device developed over years by oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Robert E. Marx and engineer Eric Papenfus, chief engineer and CEO of Medimetrix. Marx explained that the device harvests a patient's own adult stem cells from bone marrow at higher concentration, allowing surgeons to regenerate bone, even rebuild a jaw, without taking bone from the hip or leg, a minimally invasive alternative to older grafting surgery with a published track record dating to 2022. Papenfus walked through the patented flexible shaft and cutting head and the years of studies and rigorous review behind it. Both emphasized benefits they see for patients, no general anesthesia and little swelling, and framed it as their own account of the technology and its clearance rather than medical advice.

  Punky Brewster's Soleil Moon Frye and Retired Chief John Matthews 04.09.2026 1h

  Punky Brewster's Soleil Moon Frye and Retired Chief John MatthewsThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with Soleil Moon Frye, beloved as the star of the 1980s classic Punky Brewster. Frye, an unabashed lover of the era herself, reflected on how deeply the show still moves people decades later, saying Punky was never just a show but a way of life, and that her castmate Cherie felt like a true best friend and the set like family. She pointed viewers to her Hulu documentary Kid 90, a decades-in-the-making project that began as a film about everyone else and became a personal coming-of-age story of both the teen and adult her, spanning college, marriage, four children, and years of transformation, and she hinted a new book could be next. The heart of the conversation was her work with the Ask to Be Sure campaign, raising awareness of meningitis B, a rare but fast-moving and potentially deadly infection that especially affects teens and young adults roughly sixteen to twenty-three. Frye said she had not realized the childhood meningitis vaccine does not cover meningitis B until a friend told her, and, after hearing from survivors and grieving families, she spoke with her own daughter's pediatrician. Framed as awareness rather than medical advice, her message was simple: do not be shy about asking your doctor, pharmacist, or care provider to be sure. She noted that a striking share of seventeen-year-olds had not received a single dose, and that families often assume the shots kids get for school already cover it, a gap she hopes the campaign closes by keeping the conversation going between parents, teens, and providers.Neil then joined a Storehouse Media Group simulcast welcoming retired police chief John Matthews, who blended two very different passions into one memorable brand. A four-decade veteran of law enforcement who began with the Dallas Police Department and is known for the investigation and arrest of the city's first serial killer, Matthews went on to spend about thirty years training police nationwide, more than a hundred thousand officers, specializing in serial killers, mass shooters, and school safety, work he has also done alongside federal agencies. Rather than slow down, he founded the well-rated Casara Winery and Vineyards, focusing on Italian dry reds like Sangiovese and Montepulciano, and created True Crime and Wine, a live event and podcast in which audiences sip wine while he walks them through real cases, his own and others from around the world. He described more than a hundred sellout nights at wineries across the country and a new national tour ahead, noting his crowds are overwhelmingly women drawn to the how and the why behind these crimes. Born, almost literally, into a law enforcement family, Matthews said the most satisfying part of the career has always been helping put dangerous people behind bars and bringing families some measure of closure. He and Neil's co-host connected over shared roots in Virginia and Georgia, both stops on his upcoming tour, and he traced the surge of interest to appearances at CrimeCon, where audiences kept asking how someone could commit such acts, a question he tries to help ordinary, good-hearted people begin to understand.

  Author Steven Jay Rubin, Crime Watch Daily's Chris Hansen, Author Tracy Emerick, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle 04.09.2026 1h

  Author Steven Jay Rubin, Crime Watch Daily's Chris Hansen, Author Tracy Emerick, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda CarleThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with Steven Jay Rubin, author of The Twilight Zone Encyclopedia. Rubin, a film historian who spent over three years on the project, said he set out to honor not just Rod Serling but the hundreds of actors and behind-the-scenes people across the show's 156 episodes who might otherwise be lost to history, gathering rare photos and untold stories. He described Serling as a genius who came out of live television determined to tell morality plays about the common man, and who, blocked at every turn by nervous networks and sponsors, learned to cloak real-world issues in science fiction and fantasy, wanting to dramatize the Emmett Till case and being told to change the victim's identity before turning to allegory like Eye of the Beholder. Rubin argued Serling was among the first to grasp television's power to reach more people in twenty minutes than all the authors in history, and pointed fans to his daily Twilight Zone history feature on Facebook. The book is available at bookstores and on Amazon.Neil then welcomed veteran journalist Chris Hansen of Crime Watch Daily. Hansen described a daily program unlike anything else on daytime television, spanning murder mysteries, investigations, the latest Hansen versus Predator work, and breaking news, all guided by his longtime mission: to get into the mind of the criminal, hear the voice of the victim, and help prevent others from becoming victims. He spoke about the show's Badge of Honor segment saluting law enforcement, sharing the story of an Oregon state trooper shot twelve times who survived and returned to duty, and of NYPD officers who drove a suspected bomb to a less populated area to save lives. Noting the show reaches hundreds of cities, he previewed an exclusive interview in a self-defense case and pointed viewers to crimewatchdaily.com to find local listings.The hour continued with author Tracy Emerick, Ph.D., about his book Nifty Neighbors: Mister Rogers and Jesus Christ. Emerick explained that the book is part of a series he writes as bridges for people who are not necessarily believers, pairing well-known figures, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Belichick, Oprah Winfrey, and others, with Jesus Christ, telling stories rather than lectures. He described Fred Rogers, a Presbyterian minister, as a masterful storyteller whose on-air transformation into sweater and sneakers made him a comforting neighbor, and drew parallels to Jesus welcoming the little children and meeting people, like the woman at the well, where they were. Both, he argued, were gentle but never pushovers, holding high expectations while leading with kindness, and his hope is simply to hold up a mirror that prompts readers to reflect.The program closes with GildaGram, where Dr. Gilda Carle explored what success can cost at home, warning that when two partners compete to climb, jealousy can replace partnership, and urging couples to set clear roles and boundaries and to give each other room to decompress after demanding days. In a heavier segment, she responded to backlash over a remark about male fragility, clarifying that she was pointing to the disproportionately high rate of suicide among men and boys and calling on listeners to mentor and support struggling young men rather than dismiss the issue.

  Black-ish Star Marcus Scribner, Dr. Robert E. Marx on AI, and a Faith Testimony from Owen Wilson 04.09.2026 1h

  Black-ish Star Marcus Scribner, Dr. Robert E. Marx on AI, and a Faith Testimony from Owen WilsonThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with actor Marcus Scribner of ABC's Black-ish, a show Neil and his wife catch up on every weekend. Scribner, who has grown up on the series, reflected on auditioning as a naive newcomer who assumed the show would simply run thirty years, only to learn how quickly most pilots come and go, making a run like Black-ish all the more special. He praised the series for telling a fresh story every week and reflecting the diaspora of cultures across the country, and marveled at how it can tackle prickly subjects and poke at every group without leaving audiences feeling attacked. He spoke about his character reaching the milestone of graduation, an honor he called super special, and about weighing his own next steps, from college classes to what comes after a childhood spent on set. Warm and grateful for a role that shaped his coming of age, he clearly relishes being part of a show he believes tells the story of the American people.Neil then hosted a Dr. Robert E. Marx Show simulcast in which the veteran oral and maxillofacial surgeon, once a skeptic, came on as an enthusiastic new convert to artificial intelligence. Marx said his early wariness came mostly from unfamiliarity, but that the more he looked, the more he saw enormous potential with minimal drawbacks, and that the technology is a juggernaut no one can afford to ignore. He and Neil talked through the debate over AI data centers and their demand on resources like water, and made the case, as their own opinion, that the United States and its allies cannot afford to slow down while other nations race ahead, arguing the country should embrace the tools rather than fall behind out of fear. Both framed AI as most powerful when it augments human work rather than replaces it, and Neil, who had earlier helped introduce Marx to the tools, noted how far the doctor's enthusiasm had come in a matter of months. They offered the political dimensions of the debate as their own views rather than settled fact.The program closes with a faith testimony from Owen Wilson, a New Zealand aircraft mechanic and pilot, not the actor, featured in Daniel Fasina's book and set to appear at the Power of Testimony event at Shelter Rock Church in Syosset, New York, on September 12th. Wilson recounted a gorgeous late-autumn afternoon flight he took to celebrate a friend's birthday in a small aero-club plane he had flown and trusted for years over the rugged, ocean-lined Marlborough region. Partway through, he said, the engine fell silent with nowhere to land, and as he and his passenger prayed, it sputtered back to life in just enough bursts to clear a ridge, revealing a hidden airfield below where he set the plane down safely, a spot he had never once seen in years of flying that coastline. Having marked every possible emergency landing spot on his maps over four years, he had never known that airfield existed, and he credits the whole chain of events, and the tricky landing that followed, to divine intervention. Tickets for the September 12th event are at events.artoheaven.com, and Marcus Scribner can be seen on Black-ish.
