The Blumenthals are one of millions of Eastern European Jewish families who immigrated to the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. Settling in Providence, Rhode Island, they grow and prosper. During Prohibition, the Blumenthals become bootleggers—starting their fraught history with alcohol and crime. Once Prohibition is repealed, Barney Blumenthal opens a liquor store in Boston. Life is good—until fate intervenes.In May 1935, a drunk driver took the lives of six Blumenthals, including three children. Horrific photos run in newspapers across the country. Six months later, Ronnie Blumenthal is born: a phoenix rising from the ashes of devastation, a golden child upon whose blond head the family's hopes and dreams are placed. He grows into a handsome and spoiled teenager, driving a fast convertible and surrounded by beautiful girls. The Blumenthal legacy is resurrected—until one July night in 1954, when he is arrested for murder.The victim is his mother's seamstress, who was allegedly having an affair with his father. Newspaper and TV coverage is relentless. Ronnie pleads guilty, yet dark questions remain unanswered. Upon Ronnie's release from prison, his drunken behavior causes the family—who faithfully visited him behind bars—to finally wash their hands of him. At the end of his life, not one family member will contribute to his funeral. The once golden child is buried in a pauper's grave, etching the Blumenthal curse in stone.A decade later, New York Times bestselling author Phyllis Karas, a Blumenthal cousin, uses her well-honed instincts as a journalist to peel back layers of long-hidden family secrets. Karas sensitively chronicles the generational trauma affecting Phillip and Rose Blumenthal's six children and their children—the fifteen Blumenthal cousins—who were left to build their lives in the fallout. The Blumenthals' story proves that, by learning from the past with care and love, curses can be broken.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Disagreements happen everywhere to everyone – in workplaces, in families, and with our countrymates. And these days, the levels of anger and vitriol seem to be skyrocketing. As a result, many of us are either in a constant state of conflict or assiduously avoiding voicing any opinion that might spark debate. Yet, according to Julia Minson, PhD, a psychologist and professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, disagreeing is both inevitable and essential for everything from navigating decisions at home to running innovative and agile companies to governing democratic societies. Through the years, social scientists have often offered well-meaning but unproven (and not very useful) advice on handling conflict, according to Minson. In HOW TO DISAGREE BETTER (Avery; March 24, 2026), she offers evidence-based insights, based on decades of scientific research to help readers understand why we disagree, and how we can do it constructively and without rancor.Minson defines constructive disagreement as any disagreement that increases the parties' willingness to talk again. Her bedrock concept is "receptiveness to opposing views" - a trait she has studied for years, and that can be measured using a simple survey. However, Minson argues that even more important than cultivating a mental habit of receptiveness, is working on showing the other party that we are receptive to their point of view. Unfortunately, most of us are not naturally gifted at this task (indeed, evidence shows we are quite bad at it).Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Bullies, by longtime Flyers beat writer Sam Carchidi alongside writer and director Jeff Hare, explores this incredible group of hockey legends and why this band of beloved misfits resonated so strongly among the entire city of Philadelphia. Fifty years have passed since the Broad Street Bullies became the first expansion team to win both the Stanley Cup and the hearts of generations of new Flyers fans, and the men who fought those fights and won those battles are forever engrained into the psyche of Philly sports lore.Carchidi and Hare bring these beloved folk heroes back into the spotlight, shedding light on not just what they did on the ice, but what they meant to the city that embraced them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

David is not only a novelist. He is a former global macro strategist, described by Bloomberg as “one of the most outspoken voices on Wall Street,” with a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia and a career that spanned the IMF, London, and New York. What makes this book unusual and interesting for this moment in time is that it translates decades of economic transformation into human stories we can all recognize. The novel tells the story of globalization through nine interlinked lives that converge during a hostage crisis at the Bull & Bear Bar in New York on the eve of the 2008 financial crisis. From a Chinese factory director to a Wall Street bond salesman, a Japanese media celebrity to a Mexican undocumented worker, the novel shows how decisions made in one part of the world ripple outward in ways no one fully controls. As the former Bank of America Head of Global Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange, Emerging Markets Fixed Income Strategy & Economics Research (2010 – 2020), David's perspective is unique - he helped interpret and forecast the forces that reshaped trade, finance, geopolitics, and capital flows. Now, through fiction, he opens a window into what those forces did to ordinary lives, how they formed the world we inhabit today, and why so many people feel both enriched and dislocated by it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Written during a period of escalating global conflict, environmental strain, and existential uncertainty, the book approaches peace as a spiritual and evolutionary imperative. Callison argues that humanity's reliance on violence arises from fear, separation, and a misunderstanding of our shared nature—and that peace emerges naturally when individuals reconnect with compassion, responsibility, and inner awareness.Blending spiritual reflection with decades of research, Callison explores how fear becomes embedded in collective belief systems and how societies externalize that fear through conflict, dominance, and control. He challenges the assumption that violence is an inevitable part of the human condition, proposing instead that it is a temporary phase in humanity's spiritual development—one that can be transcended through conscious choice.Across 27 reflective chapters, The Way to World Peace invites readers to examine the inner origins of war: the ego, the illusion of separation, and the belief in scarcity and threat. Drawing on universal spiritual principles shared across religions and traditions - interconnection, compassion, forgiveness, and responsibility - the book frames peace not as idealism, but as alignment with humanity's deeper nature.Although Callison is widely known as the founder of Allied Beauty Experts, his life's work has long centered on humanity's spiritual future. In the 1980s and 1990s, he conducted a nationally published survey on nuclear war cited by Carl Sagan, deepening his conviction that humanity's greatest threat is not external forces, but unresolved fear within the collective soul.The book also serves as the philosophical foundation for A Time for Humanity™, a nonprofit organization devoted to advancing global peace and demilitarization through education, inner awareness, and collective action.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The song is all about sharing whatever you have with the most special person in the world.”Galea started songwriting when he was 13 after winning a UK National Songwriting Contest with his track “I Am Not An Angel.” Following that win he started writing for artists such as Lao Ra (Jesus Made Me Bad), Thea Garrett (Frontline) & Gianluca Bezzina (Come Float Away) and more!  Around this time his track “Trendsetter” was synced on US TV. Galea has also toured the UK supporting the likes of McFly and Boyzlife, as well as performing on the main stage for London Pride, Birmingham Pride, Northern Pride, Norwich Pride, as well as the main stage on festivals like The Sundown Festival and more. Stay tuned to Galea's social pages below for more updates on future releases as he gets ready to release his next project.# # #Connect with John Galea: WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | SPOTIFY | TIKTOK Press Contacts:Brad Taylor    ​Big Machine Agency  brad@bigmachineagency.com  ​​​​​Maya BlakemoreBig Machine Agency​​​​​            maya@bigmachineagency.com Meijin BruttomessoBig Machine Agency  meijinb@bigmachinemedia.comView email in browserBig Machine Agency · 22 E 36th St Ste 8A · New York, NY 10016-3419 · USAupdate your preferences or unsubscribeCan you do March 13th ?   Lets say NOON EST ?  Will you send a zoom link? Show quoted textShow quoted textAbsolutely!  So grateful!!!!Hide quoted textOn Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:08 PM Brad Taylor wrote:Can you do March 13th ?   Lets say NOON EST ?  Will you send a zoom link?     Brad Taylor | Co-Founder and CEOBig Machine AgencyNYC • LONDONe: brad@bigmachineagency.comw: www.bigmachineagency.comp: +1 646.427.5476  On Wed, Mar 4, 2026 at 10:42 AM arroe M'e wrote:Zoom is fantastic.  I'm in Charlotte.  I can bend around your schedule.  How about the 13th of March?On Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 10:40 AM Brad Taylor wrote:do you set up a zoom?  what are timings can you do?  Where are you based?  Obviously John is in London so the earlier in the day EST is better.  Brad     Brad Taylor | Co-Founder and CEOBig Machine AgencyNYC • LONDONe: brad@bigmachineagency.comw: www.bigmachineagency.comp: +1 646.427.5476  On Wed, Mar 4, 2026 at 10:38 AM arroe M'e wrote:That would be an amazing experience for listeners.  Grateful!On Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 10:23 AM Brad Taylor wrote:ok do you want an interview with John?     Brad Taylor | Co-Founder and CEOBig Machine AgencyNYC • LONDONe: brad@bigmachineagency.comw: www.bigmachineagency.comp: +1 646.427.5476  On Sun, Mar 1, 2026 at 9:07 AM arroe M'e wrote:iHeart Radios Unplugged and Totally Uncut View from the Writing Instrument and Like It's Live.  You've blessed my life with many conversations in the past due to my connection to helping all up and coming performers have a pleasant place to spread their wings as creative souls.

A heartfelt, one-of-a-kind memoir chronicling the hilarious, absurd, and thought-provoking experiences of an American pursuing comedy in China, learning first-hand how humor does and doesn't translate-and whether laughter transcends borders."I marched onstage in a long robe beside my Shifu, under the curious eyes of a thousand Chinese comedy fans, armed only with a microphone and the goal to kill onstage or die trying. Over the speakers, the host shouted: "Welcome to the stage: Master Ding Guangquan and his American disciple, Ai Jie Xi!"When self-proclaimed American class clown Jesse Appell signed up to study Mandarin in high school, he never imagined that one day his name would be written into the traditional family tree of Chinese comedy. But when he first moves to Beijing to apprentice to the legendary Master Ding, a single show is all it takes for Jesse and his fellow comedy misfits to understand that book learning means bombing jokes.To truly get the big laughs, he realizes he needs to know everything, like how long the fuse is on a thirty-cent firework, what card games coal miners play over Chinese New Year, and why comedy writers in Shanghai sometimes sleep in heart-shaped beds.The result? Asking questions that might seem simple-if they weren't being asked by an American caught in the breakneck whirlwind of a rising China.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In Weight Class: A Fighter's Life-or-Death Battle with an Eating Disorder (Bite Like A Man; February 17, 2026), former Olympic boxer and professional champion Danny O'Connor delivers a searing, deeply personal memoir that confronts one of sport's most overlooked crises: eating disorders in male athletes. From high school wrestling to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team and a decade-long professional career, O'Connor lived in a world where extreme weight-cutting—starvation, dehydration, purging and physical collapse—was common practice. What began as discipline slowly became self-destruction, culminating in a public failure to make weight for a world title fight and a private medical emergency that nearly cost him his life. Told with unflinching honesty, Weight Class traces O'Connor's 20-year battle with an eating disorder fought largely in silence—hidden from coaches, fans and even family. His story challenges the misconception that eating disorders are a “female issue” and exposes how weight-regulated sports can reinforce dangerous behaviors when education and early intervention are absent. More than a sports memoir, Weight Class is a powerful account of survival and recovery. O'Connor examines the physical, mental and emotional toll of life on the scale, while also documenting the long, difficult work of reclaiming health, identity and purpose beyond competition. For parents, coaches and athletes entering weight-class sports, Weight Class serves as a necessary warning. For the millions of men and women struggling with eating disorders in silence, it offers something rarer: recognition, understanding and hope.Since retiring from professional boxing, Danny has become a leading advocate for awareness of eating disorders among men and athletes worldwide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

A retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander, Ratliff served aboard destroyers and with Underwater Demolition Team 11, the elite Cold War–era unit that directly preceded today's Navy SEAL teams. Jack writes a historical record of how the U.S. Navy prepared young officers and enlisted men for combat in the 1950s and early 1960s. Riding the White Bull documents the training, culture, and mindset that defined American military readiness in the post–World War II period. Ratliff offers detailed, insider descriptions of destroyer service in the “tin can Navy,” the evolution of frogman units, and the brutal physical and psychological conditioning used to identify who could operate under fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty. Training was not abstract or theoretical; it was deliberately uncomfortable, risky, and unsparing, designed to reveal judgment and character before men were ever sent into harm's way.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The world of professional wrestling is paradoxical. Storylines are intricately plotted by creative writers, refined by the agents and the wrestlers the day of the match, and performed live in front of worldwide audiences to evoke drama and emotion. It's scripted: it's "fake." Yet, more often than not, it is the real-life backstage machinations, the behind-the-scenes tales of drama and deceit, of pettiness between allies and adversaries, that feel as though they were actually penned by Hollywood's finest scriptwriters.David Sahadi's Backstage Pass is a firsthand account of what occurs beyond the squared circle - stories that are often more compelling and dramatic than anything that occurs on TV or inside a ring. These never-before-told stories are glorious, nefarious, and at times truly unbelievable: five-star mega-bouts between the powers that rule, the leaders and decision-makers who are often in agreement (but mostly at odds), and the superstars themselves.This book is a tale of defiance, decadence, and denial - and you do not have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Generation Radio return with “Take Two”, the eagerly awaited follow-up to their acclaimed debut, delivering another masterclass in AOR/West Coast rock infused with just the right touch of the Nashville sound. Produced by founding members Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts) and Jason Scheff (former Chicago), the band features an all-star lineup: Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Average White Band) joins on drums, replacing the formidable Deen Castronovo (who returned to Journey as full-time member), while Tom Yankton (guitar, vocals) and Chris Rodriguez (guitar, vocals) round out the powerhouse ensemble. DeMarcus said: “It was so much fun getting to make another record! We've been working on this one for a while and we can't wait for everyone to hear what we've been up to. Once again, we have contributions from all band members. These guys are amazing and it's a honor to make music with them, I believe this record is our best work yet.” Jason Scheff added: “Here we go! Take Two, round two. We had such a great reception on our first record we've been chomping at the bit to get this one finished and released. I'm extremely proud to show that we have a band that is still at the top of our game”. “In what other industry can you deliver as kids and be able to go back in and create the quality of what you've been recognized for? I truly believe this work stands up to any of the records we've ever made creating some of pop and country's biggest hits. I can't wait to see how the public reacts to this one!”, he continued. “Take Two” is rich with pristine harmonies, unforgettable hooks, and timeless songwriting -hallmarks of the genre delivered with class and authenticity. Tracks like the cinematic, harmony-laden “Montana Sky”, the hook-filled “The Melody”, and the emotionally charged ballad “Hate This Heart” showcase the band's signature blend of melodic precision and heartfelt performance. Adding depth to the album's appeal, Generation Radio also offers reimagined versions of timeless classics that shine in their live sets: Whitesnake's “Here I Go Again”, Chicago's “You're The Inspiration”, Kenny Loggins' “I'm Alright”, and a rock version of Rascal Flatts' classic “These Days”. With “Take Two”, Generation Radio not only honours the legacy of AOR and West Coast rock -they elevate it, combining elite musicianship and genre-crossing influences into a record that's as fresh as it is nostalgic.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
