    Bobby Bostic. 241 Years to Freedom

    *Note: the audio can get pretty rough in this episode. Really sorry about that.* Bobby Bostic was just 16 years old in 1995 when he committed two robberies where thankfully no serious injuries occurred. Still, Bobby Bostic was sentenced to 241 years in prison by Judge Eveyln Baker with no opportunity for parole until Bobby turns 112 years old."If I knew then what I know now... I wouldn't have given him 241 years. But I didn't know then what I know now. When I sentenced Bobby, we had no knowledge of brain development... He was still a child. His brain had another 10 or more years to go before it was fully developed. I treated a 16 year old child like a 36 year old man and I say that is wrong." - Judge Evelyn Baker almost 25 years after sentencing Bobby Bostic. Miraculously, Bobby continued to work and hope until the world heard his story. Today he is free after 27 years of incarceration to tell his story to the audience of West Coast Radio. A story of resilience, hard work, discipline, and above all hope. Bobby is the author of many books which you can find on Amazon. Titles include, "Life Goes on Inside Prison", "Dear Mama: The Life and Struggles of a Single Mother" & "Time: Endless Moments in Prison".

    Jordan Hanssen: The Man Who Rows

    West Coast Radio welcomes a true waterman, Jordan Hanssen to the program. Jordan has rowed across the ocean a number of times, but for the purposes of this interview we’ll focus on two of those ocean crossing odysseys. The first, when Jordan along with his 3 other teammates, broke a Guinness world record rowing from New York to England while literally starving. The second, an almost completed row from Africa to Miami, where Jordan and his team ended up on Dateline NBC. Many of the stories in this interview can be examined in detail by reading Jordan’s Book; 'Rowing Into the Son: Four Young Men Crossing the North Atlantic' and also by watching Dateline NBC's special on Jordan's attempted row from Africa to Miami called, "Capsized".

    Seth David Radwell. Author. American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation

    Without argument, The United States is a divided nation. But have we always been that way? How did we get that way? How do we heal moving forward? Broadcasting from Seattle, Washington This is West Coast Radio. On the program today is Seth David Radwell, author of the new, No.1 Amazon best selling book: American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation. “The Political dialogue in America has collapsed. Raw and bitter emotions such as anger and resentment have crowded out any logical debate.” American Schism Reveals 1) The roots of the divisive rift in America since its founding and what is really dividing the left and right. 2) The core issues that underlie all of today’s bickering. 3) A detailed, effective plan to move forward, commencing what will be a long process of repair and reconciliation. Seth David Radwell is a business executive with a bachelor's degree from Columbia University and a master’s degree in Public Policy from Harvard University. To name a few of his many business accomplishments, Seth served as President of e-Scholastic, CEO of The Proactiv Company, and as President & Chief Revenue Officer of Guthy-Renker. Seth has reached the pinnacle of what it means to be an ultra successful business person in the United States, yet dropped everything and took a leave of absence from that world to solely focus on writing this book, aiding in the effort to heal this injured nation at perhaps its most vulnerable point.
