#197- Amanda Householder: "Not My Father's Daughter" | Inside Circle of Hope "Troubled Teen" Home
This week we dive back into the world of the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) movement. A church that many call a cult. We speak more specifically this time about their homes for "troubled teens". Some of these teens sent to these homes needed mental health counseling, some were being "ungodly", and others sent away for simple things such as smoking a cigarette. Regardless of the reasons we learn this week that these homes were at best ill equipped to help and at worse an abusive place that brutally punished and terrorized those they were asked to help. I talk with Amanda Householder who was featured in the documentary "Let Us Prey" that exposed IFB for what it is. She grew up in the troubled teens homes that were AGAPE and Circle of Hope not necessarily because she was a troubled teen herself, but because her parents (now charged with over 100 crimes) ran the facilities. This is a powerful chat.

#196- Presley Tennant: What is "California Country"? | From Girl Group to NBC's "The Voice" Singer Dishes
Dubbed a “vocal powerhouse” by Taste of Country, my guest this week Presley Tennant is “quickly proving that she is a wild card in the country music industry (People Magazine.” Rooted in the classics, the Horsetown, USA (aka Norco, CA) native immersed herself in Country Music following her national appearance on NBC's The Voice at just 16 years old.
Determined to make her own way in the industry, Tennant teamed up with some of the industry’s top creatives to produce her own version of California-Country, melding together western lifestyle, her unparalleled powerhouse vocals, traditional roots and a modern energy. Presley has shared the stage with musical heroes such Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Carly Pearce, Blake Shelton and more. Not only is she immensely talented, she has a heart of gold, donating her time to animal organizations through her Riffs & Rescues virtual charity tour, where she performs live and raises awareness and funds for various animal initiatives. This week talk about it all from her girl group beginnings to her budding career now.

#195- Sandy Rosenthal: Ordinary Citizen to Hurricane Katrina Whistleblower | Why the Levees Failed
Sandy was just an ordinary citizen with no special training or resources who uncovered a scandal. This week I speak with Sandy Rosenthal who shares her riveting account of one woman’s battle to expose a massive coverup after the Army Corps of Engineers’ defective floodwalls broke during Hurricane Katrina and created a catastrophe. This is an inspiring David and Goliath story prompting many to refer to Sandy as the "Erin Brockovich" of levees.
Sandy Rosenthal founded the non-profit Levees.org in 2005. The group focuses on educating the public that the flooding of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina was due to federal engineering mistakes, not the wrath of nature.
Her book, Words Whispered in Water, is about how––against all odds––she altered the national narrative about the flooding disaster.
Sandy’s powerful message is bringing to light a mostly unknown yet dangerous situation in many parts of our country and she’s an inspiration on how to truly mobilize citizen participation.

#194- Stan Zimmerman: "The Girls: From Golden to Gilmore" | Life of a Legendary TV Show Writer
This week was an extra special interview as I interview TV writer, Stan Zimmerman, a man who has written for some of the biggest shows of the last 40 years. He wrote for shows like Gilmore Girls and Roseanne, both shows with a huge cult following. My personal favorite and ultimate "cult following" show The Golden Girls a show he was a writer for in the legendary first season of the show. We talk about Stan's upbringing and his love for TV at a young age (funny story there!), working with some of TV's biggest leading ladies (AKA Bea Arthur and BETTY FREAKING WHITE), and his current work with some really impactful plays. This interview was truly amazing and I am excited for you to hear it!
