Public service is the most rewarding job there is. I feel I have been able to make a difference: I have made some people’s lives better, I have been able to protect people from wrongdoing, and I have been able to turn some people around so they became positive influences in our community,” says Judge Kintner. Buy, or order, this book wherever books are sold and we are proud to be announcing worldwide that the good judge will be rejoining us again soon with a brand-new show but, in the meantime, please take the time to listen to her rewind episode of the very first appearance she made on our show, as Episode 284, on May 13, 2026.

    JUDGE JANET KINTNER (Ret.) - "A Judge's Tale: A Trailblazer Fights for Her Place on the Bench" - Appearance #2 Recorded 7-14-26 - Episode 296

    This week we are celebrating the return of a magnificent human being as well as guest on the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast show JUDGE JANET KINTNER (Ret.). Janet Kintner could have ended up just another victim of the system. After a traumatic childhood, and being sexually assaulted as a young woman, the odds were not in her favor—but instead of letting these experiences destroy her, she used them as fuel in pursuit of her dreams. By twenty-four, she was a newly minted lawyer determined to secure justice for everyone, regardless of their gender, race, religion, or income. In 1968, the District Attorney’s office told Kintner, “We will not hire a woman lawyer.” Men dominated the legal system. Undaunted, she established herself as a lawyer who represented low-income people and, eventually, as a high-profile prosecutor specializing in consumer fraud. San Diego lawyers elected her the third woman ever to the County Bar Association Board of Directors. In her private practice, she continued to help everyone she could, often pro bono. In 1976, when Kintner was thirty-one and pregnant, Governor Jerry Brown appointed her the third female judge in history in San Diego—a move that didn’t sit well with some men in her field. Two years later, two men challenged Kintner, a mother pregnant with her second baby, in the nastiest judicial election of the year. In the coming months, Kintner struggled to balance her time between her children, working full-time in a stressful job, and campaigning. She didn’t want to let other women, present and future, down. But was San Diego ready to vote for a female judge for the first time? Published by She Writes Press and distributed by Simon and Schuster this book is available wherever books are sold or ordered.

    This week on the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast is a fascinating book by a fascinating author and college educator. The book is a debut novel for our guest author Mark Farrington and is now available wherever books are sold including Amazon. Entitled "Loss of Life" this is a fascinating read for everybody. The book is published by Legacy Book Press. In a Virginia hospital, forty-one-year-old Matthew Winton awakens from a car accident with no memory of his life after the age of thirteen.Over time, he learns that he is a college professor who lives alone and has no family. He is also a writer, and he turns first to his writing, hoping it will show him his past. But he has written primarily fiction, and he struggles to separate the blurred lines between fiction and fact. He is helped by a policewoman who investigated his accident, and a relationship develops. Then he comes upon something he'd written shortly before the crash. This writing disturbs him greatly and leads to a series of events that end with him traveling to Massachusetts, where he spent the first thirty years of his life, in search of ghosts from his past. Throughout, he's been troubled by questions raised by the car accident. What was he doing out on a deserted country road at two o'clock on a Sunday morning? He had no luggage in the car, nor anything that might have given a clue to his intentions. Even the policewoman who investigated seems to have questions about whether the crash was really an accident. As Matthew learns more about his past, he fears that his search might end back on that deserted country road at two a.m."A compelling drama that explores the impacts of trauma in insightful and poignant ways ... At times funny, at other times devastating, Loss of Life explores the trauma of facing your past with great humility and humanity." ~ JESSICA STILLING, author of Betwixt and Between and The Beekeeper's Daughter"A novel of pain and loss, of forgiveness, but also of love found and love remembered ... the story of a man learning to release the unreasonable blame of self he's carried for decades ... you are not likely to forget him." ~ DAVID GIANNINI, author of Stones Are the First to Rise Contact: www.MarkFarrington.net

    GLENN E. WICHINSKY - "Things Left Unsaid: My Dad, the Mob, and Growing Up in the Nevada Gaming Industry" - Author, Gaming & Business Attorney , College Teacher - Episode 291

    This week on Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast: Episode 291 In this true story, an unexpected revelation upends a son’s understanding of everything he thought he knew about his father—setting him on a journey of discovery as he attempts to piece together the truth.After Glenn Wichinsky’s parents divorced, his mother took him and his siblings away from their father’s questionable life choices. Glenn grew up in a sheltered South Florida neighborhood, dreaming of becoming a meteorologist. It wasn’t until he was thirteen, on a visit to Las Vegas to see the father he barely knew, that Glenn’s eyes opened to a wider world. A far cry from his life in Florida, the trips he made to the Sands Hotel and Casino over the years to see his father felt like living in a movie. Michael “Mickey” Wichinsky, a respected and noted pioneer in the slot machine and gaming industry, led a life of intrigue—where showgirls, glitz, and glamour sparkled around every corner and backroom deals with mobsters were simply part of doing business.It was only after his father’s death that Glenn discovered how deep the ties had been between Mickey and the Mob, forcing him to reconcile his father’s early life and work in Las Vegas with his understanding of the kind and generous man he knew. Told with honesty, heart, and deep self-reflection, Things Left Unsaid is both a personal odyssey and a fascinating dive into the history of the Nevada gaming industry by a man trying to reframe the story of his father’s past—and his own.
