    Author Nikki Nash

    Nikki Nash is no ordinary Valley Girl. Growing up in the 1960s, her unconventional musician father and politically radical mother would throw weekend-long and wild parties. The Black Panthers hung out at her home, and the FBI was watching. At age 14, Nikki fixated on Warren Beatty, determined to win his heart. And she did! Nikki went on to pursue a vibrant career as a TV associate director, comic, writer, and actress. Her celebrity-infused journey of sex, drugs, religion, and Hollywood culture is told in her upcoming, laugh-filled memoir, "Collateral Stardust."

    Get Ready for No Kings Day!

    While Trump spends millions on a military parade for himself and directs cruel kidnappings on the streets across Los Angeles and across the country, Americans are getting ready to exercise their civil rights and duty to defend this attack on democracy.  Thousands of peaceful protests are planned across the world on Saturday, June 14, for "No Kings Day," which promises to be a consequential weekend in what is shaping up to be a long, hot summer. Phil and Ted speak with Hunter Dunn, an organizer for the downtown Los Angeles rally, which is on the front lines of the federal government's violent assault on California and the entire nation. Hunter provides details on what promises to be a massive protest gathering and their plans to keep the protest peaceful and safe, despite potential provocations from masked individuals and unidentified federal agents, which applies to all protests this weekend.

    'Drop Dead City' and Music Producer Bob Wayne

    Today's show begins with the filmmakers behind "Drop Dead City," a new documentary about the 1975 New York City fiscal crisis. Eight million people in a crumbling city were brought to the edge of bankruptcy and social chaos by a perfect storm of greed, incompetence, ambitious social policy, and poor governance. The striking parallels with current America are unmistakable; dismantling public institutions in the name of austerity and public outcry.  Then, veteran sound engineer, producer, and Hollywood recording studio owner Bob Wayne talks about his new memoir, "Reel To Real Tales...Notes From Both Sides of the Recording Console." Bob's studio production credits include over three hundred albums, and he won a Grammy in 2002 for his work on George Carlin's "Napalm and Silly Putty." Bob's studio, Sunburst Recording, collaborated with diverse talents as Adam Sandler, Ska bands Fishbone and Hepcat, Richie Havens, Micky Dolenz of The Monkees, Dr. Demento, television pioneer Steve Allen, and many jazz greats. The Firesign Theatre recorded their last three albums with Bob.

    Astral traveler and guardianship abuse victim Shelley Thomson

    Imagine getting a knock on your door, being taken away to a locked facility, then declared incompetent by a judge, and having a stranger allowed to take over your affairs and sell your homes and possessions.  It's a for-profit healthcare scandal known as guardianship abuse, and it's happening to seniors across the country. You'll hear a never-before-heard pre-recorded interview with Shelley Thomson, before she died in captivity. Today's guest is her lawyer, Philip Ross, who tried to save her.   Though a Texas judge declared her "incapacitated," Shelley was not only mentally competent until her death, but also a published scientific scholar and teacher of shamanic arts. She was regarded as one of the world's most able remote viewers, or as she called herself, an astral traveler.  If guardianship abuse can happen to Shelley, it can happen to any of us. Learn how to protect yourself in this fascinating conversation.
