9.17.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Booker Blasts College Sports Act. Roger Fortson Killing Heads To Trial. Black Beauty Funding Crashes. Senator Cory Booker pushes back on the Protect College Sports Act that was advanced by the Senate. Booker says y'all are wrong this actually doesn't help college athletes. We'll also talk about Senator Mitch McConnell's suspicious absence and reappearance, after a video surfaced of him being instructed on how to vote at a Senate committee meeting. U.S. Virgin Islands Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett led a panel during Congressional Black Caucus Week. She spoke regarding e-commerce and how this can benefit the black entrepreneurial and creative community. She will join us to talk about her discussion. A Florida judge rejected a motion to dismiss a manslaughter case against a former sheriff's deputy who shot and killed a Black Senior Airman, forcing that deputy to go to trial. The Black Beauty Industry is a progressive multi-billion dollar global movement across the world but recent stats show that financial support of black founders is decreasing. Tonight we will have a very special panel of Black female entrepreneurs who founded their own companies to talk about the future of the beauty industry.

Kennesaw State Owls at Arkansas State Red Wolves by Tony T.Kennesaw State lost 42-9 at Tennessee. Collins completed 22 of 34 passes for 189 yards, Booker caught 10 passes for 78 yards and Daniel Kinney made three field goals. The Owls opened with a 13-play scoring drive but did not reach the end zone, while Tennessee ran for 268 yards and gained 446 overall. Kennesaw State moved the ball in segments, yet finishing drives remains a major concern.

Blue Note Cherry Wood Cask Review: This week I'm tasting the brand-new Blue Note Cherry Wood Cask Volume 1, a cask-strength bourbon finished in wild cherry wood from France — but first, the whiskey world somehow gets even weirder. Beam has two major releases on the way. The second-ever Booker's rye takes things in a completely unexpected direction with apple brandy cask finishing and cinnamon infusion, while Little Book The Infinite Edition III continues Freddie Noe's infinity experiment with whiskey including a 23-year-old Knob Creek component originally distilled under Booker Noe. Chicken Cock is also celebrating its 170th anniversary with an 8-year, 115-proof bourbon and a seriously cool vintage-inspired ceramic rooster decanter. Then we get to one of the strangest whiskey stories I've covered all year: Tamworth Distilling's Deerslayer Whiskey, a venison-flavored whiskey made with red deer meat. Yes. Actual venison. On the other end of the spectrum, the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired partnered with Northside Distilling on a limited Braille Bourbon featuring a tactile Braille label and raising money to support people adapting to vision loss. Blue Note also announced wider distribution for its Honey Bourbon Cask and Honey Rye Cask releases, which leads perfectly into this week's Byte-Sized Review. Blue Note Cherry Wood Cask Volume 1 is a 119.4-proof, unfiltered bourbon finished for four months in wild cherry wood casks sourced from the Jura region of eastern France. And an important distinction: these barrels didn't contain cherries. The flavor is coming from the cherry wood itself. The result genuinely surprised me. Expect bright red fruit, cherry and red apple skin, fresh oak, vanilla, caramel, sweetness, spice, and a finish strong enough that it almost gives me Manhattan vibes without actually tasting artificially flavored. At about $65, this ended up being one of my favorite finished bourbons I've had in quite a while.   On the gaming side, I also break down Microsoft's latest Xbox restructuring, Activision taking a larger role with Halo, and Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT moving from PlayStation publishing to Xbox.

Today's show is full of examples of how messed up our government is. More and more, it's becoming clear that people in government have sold out to the "plan ": how to "get" President Trump.You'll hear a caustic conversation between New Jersey Senator Corey Booker and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in which Booker demands that the U.S. fund research on potential diseases in foreign countries instead of funding more important issues. Booker rejects Rubio's explanation that Congress, not the White House, determined the funding changes.Glenn Beck tackles one of the most critical issues of this election season. He draws a comparison to how conservatives in different life paths are NOT actively pursuing get-out-the-vote programs. He blames the current polls in Texas, saying the Senate race there is being lost to Democrat Talarico, and details why.

Hour 1 (09.21) The new Hollywood Burbank Airport terminal finally has an opening date, bringing major upgrades to one of Southern California's favorite airports. Plus, Chris Booker drops stories about Drew Carey, Sam Simon, and a rumor he's been trying to shake for years. 6:05 — Chris Booker from ALT 98.7's Booker & Stryker joins Tim in studio. Booker tells the story of getting cleaned out at the poker table by Drew Carey and responds to a longtime rumor, fueled by Mark Thompson, involving money from late television legend Sam Simon. 6:20 — Tim is losing patience with drivers at the iHeart parking structure who keep squeezing into spots inches from his car. The conversation shifts to Bellio's car troubles and Tim's attempt to lend his aging vehicle to her while hers is in the shop. 6:35 — Tim looks ahead to the opening of the new Hollywood Burbank Airport terminal. He breaks down the upgraded passenger experience, expanded amenities, and why the airport's long-awaited modernization has him excited. 6:50 — Tim shares stories from Las Vegas, including friends determined to visit the famous Chicken Ranch while he stayed busy at the casino. The detour leads to a collection of classic Vegas stories and observations. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

Hour 4 (09.22) 9:05 — Chris Booker from Booker & Stryker on ALT 98.7 joins Tim in the studio. He tells Tim about the time Drew Carey cleaned him out in poker, and he clears his name over rumors (spread by Mark Thompson) surrounding money he took from Simpson's creator Sam Simon. 9:20 — A brand new airport terminal is opening at the Burbank airport – on Tim's birthday! Tim is excited.

Gates pushes his agenda to get serious about crime and clean up the streets. 9:50 — Todd Black, producer of DTF St. Louis and the upcoming Madden movie, joins Tim to talk about his latest projects and successful movies like the Pursuit of Happiness. Black gives his thoughts on the Paramount-Warner Bros merger. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

Hour 4 (09.21) Mark hobbles in with a mystery ankle and a Chargers-sized dent in his bankroll, Petros Papadakis of “Petros and Money” piles on with that foghorn voice, and Timmy finds a “We Buy Junk Cars” card on his 2020 luxury ride — ding-dong, it’s not a junker. The losing streak includes $14,000 at the track and a penance Arby’s in Long Beach with no drink. Mark remembers poker with late “Simpsons” creator Sam Simon getting clipped for $600 by ALT 98.7’s Booker, and an L.A.-born radio ranking has Conway at No. 46. F them. Bellio’s a sweetheart (Kenny Kingston would agree), Mark’s telethon psychic promised $3,394 (nope), and a Walk for Autism doctor ran Timmy through the seven screening questions (also nope). Then cat chaos: The Conway house once had 22 of them, they gave most away at Gelson’s including Mom’s favorite, a store wouldn’t let her take an indoor-only cat, so Timmy pretended he wasn’t her son to adopt it. The pile-on was immense. 9:05 — Mark Thompson’s limping into the Conway castle with a mystery ankle and a lighter wallet — the Chargers are tanking and taking his bets with them. Petros Papadakis of “Petros and Money” drops in with that foghorn voice to pile-on. Then Timmy finds a “We Buy Junk Cars” card on his 2020 ride and takes it personally. It’s a luxury car, ding-dong, not a junker. 9:20 — Timmy dropped $14,000 at the track this weekend — and the humiliation tour continued at an Arby’s in Long Beach, where he purposefully did not buy himself a drink, as an exercise in self punishment. Mark flashes back to a poker table with the late “Simpsons” creator Sam Simon, who got taken for $600 by ALT 98.7’s Booker. Then the insult: Some all-time LA-born radio ranking puts Conway at No. 46. F them. 9:35 — Bellio’s a sweet spirit — even Marilyn Monroe’s old psychic Kenny Kingston (the guy who never paid for parking) would back that up. Mark once got a telethon psychic who swore he’d come into $3,394. He did not. Timmy remembers a Walk for Autism where a doctor quietly ran him through those seven screening questions. Also not a match. Two spoilers, zero jackpots. 9:50 — Mark is a cat lover, as was the Conway household when Timmy was a lad. At one point, the Conways had 22 cats meowing around the house! So much so, they gave most of them away at the local Gelson’s, and unfortunately that included Mrs. Conway’s beloved cat. She tried to adopt another purrer, but the pet store wouldn’t allow it because the cat in question was an indoor cat only, so Timmy had to go in and pretend he was unrelated to his mom so he could adopt it for her. The pile-on was immense! Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

Hour 1 (09.21) Mark’s limping into the Conway castle with a mystery ankle, a Chargers-shaped hole in his wallet, and Petros Papadakis of “Petros and Money” booming in for backup — while Timmy takes a “We Buy Junk Cars” card on his 2020 luxury ride as a personal insult. The losing streak continues: $14,000 at the track, then a dead Arby’s gift card in Long Beach (hold the cheese). Mark remembers poker with late “Simpsons” creator Sam Simon, who got clipped for $600 by ALT 98.7’s Booker, and some ranking of L.A.-born radio legends has Conway at No. 46. F them. Tomorrow’s the first day of fall; September 26 is LA’s equal-day-and-night equinox. Paramount and Warner Bros. settle the multi-state antitrust fight: Rob Bonta says they stay put instead of fleeing to Nashville or Atlanta, the merger can proceed on those terms, and the Writers Guild gets $7.5 million. Bellio’s a sweetheart — Marilyn’s old psychic Kenny Kingston would say so — Mark’s telethon psychic promised him $3,394 (didn’t happen), and a doctor at a Walk for Autism quietly ran Timmy through the seven screening questions (also didn’t happen). 6:05 —Hobbling Mark is in the house with Timmy Conway Jr. and special cameo guest, the bellowing-voiced Petros Papadakis from the “Petros and Money” show! They’re chitchatting about Marky Mark’s mysterious broken ankle and the LA Chargers, who are apparently in big trouble this season and therefore, Mark is losing moolah. Timmy is rather offended about the “We Buy Junk Cars” business card that was placed on his luxury vehicle, which is a 2020 model. 6:20 — Timmy lost $14,000 gambling at the track this weekend. To console himself, he went to Arby’s in Long Beach and because he was cleaned out, he had to use a gift card — that didn’t end up working, even without the cheese. Mark recalls the time he played in a poker game with late creator of “The Simpsons,” Sam Simon, who got ripped off by Booker of ALT 98.7’s “Booker & Stryker” fame to the tune of $600. We also find out that of the all-time most popular radio personalities born and raised in LA, Timmy is rated No. 46. F them. 6:35 — Tomorrow is the first day of fall! On September 26 we have equinox day in LA — that’s the only day of the year when we have daylight and nighttime equally. And now to the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger: The two companies were sued by multiple states for violating antitrust law, but California AG Rob Bonta has just announced that the entertainment giants have reached a deal that means they will not move headquarters to Nashville or Atlanta, and the merger is able to go ahead, provided they adhere to the terms of the agreement. The Writers Guild receives $7.5 million as part of the deal. 6:50 — Is Conway producer Bellio a sweet spirit? She sure is! Marilyn Monroe’s favorite and only psychic Kenny Kingston, who never paid for parking, would agree with that sentiment. Speaking of which, Mark had a peculiar interaction with a psychic at a telethon, who predicted he would come into $3,394. Spoiler: He did not. Also, Timmy recalls the time he was at a Walk for Autism event and a doctor slyly asked him the seven questions doctors ask to see if someone has autism. Spoiler: He did not. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

What if the people we love continue to send us signs after death? Portia shares extraordinary stories of grief, near-death experiences, synchronicity, signs from loved ones, and the miraculous transformation that followed her mother's death.What If Grief Is Not the End of the Story?What if losing someone you love could somehow become the beginning of a profound transformation?In this deeply moving episode, Portia the Producer, a grief awareness advocate, media professional, storyteller, and mental health advocate, shares extraordinary stories about grief, death, signs from loved ones, synchronicity, near-death experiences, family, and spiritual transformation.And then there is the story of what happened when her mother died.Portia was sitting beside her mother during her final moments, witnessing something that few of us ever get the opportunity to see so closely: the transition from life to death. She recorded their final conversation because something inside her told her she would want to remember it.Her mother's final message?“Go for it.”Portia's Extraordinary Story of Her Mother's DeathOne of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Portia's description of being present when her mother took her final breath.She describes watching the room change in the instant her mother's heart stopped and experiencing what she understood as her mother's spirit waving goodbye and blowing her a kiss.Rather than dismissing the experience, Portia allowed herself to remain curious about what it might mean.She had asked her mother for a sign that she was okay.Three days later, a monarch butterfly began circling in Portia's yard.For Portia, it felt like an unmistakable message.And that experience became part of a much larger journey through grief, spirituality, synchronicity, signs from the deceased, and personal transformation.A Near-Death Experience on an Oklahoma HighwayPortia also shares the terrifying story of a near-death experience while driving in Oklahoma.Traveling at approximately 70 miles per hour, the back tire of her rental car suddenly blew out and the back bumper flew off.She managed to get the vehicle safely off the highway.Then, while sitting there shaken and overwhelmed, she looked up.A blue heron was circling above her.Portia experienced the bird as a powerful reassurance: I see you. I got you.A police officer who witnessed what happened told her how much worse the accident could have been.But the story didn't end there. And guess what? You'll just have to listen to hear the rest of the story!What Strong Women Taught Portia About Life!Portia also takes us into the remarkable household in which she was raised.She grew up surrounded by generations of strong women, including her great-grandmother, who was born in 1915.Her great-grandmother didn't have a conventional education by today's standards, but she understood something Portia considers far more important:She understood people.Through watching her great-grandmother interact with others, Portia learned about hospitality, storytelling, business, relationships, and bringing people together.Those lessons ultimately helped shape her entrepreneurial life and her understanding of the power of human connection.But being raised around strong, independent women also came with another lesson: Portia learned that she was supposed to be strong all the time.Eventually, she had to learn something very different.It's okay to ask for help.It's okay to be vulnerable.It's okay to let someone love you and help you. And this, too, is a lesson I have had to learn. It is a hard one, but oh so necessary!Meet Portia the ProducerPortia brings together media, storytelling, grief awareness, mental health advocacy, entrepreneurship, and personal transformation in a career that has taken her through many different chapters.She is also the executive producer and host of Groove with Portia, where she continues to explore stories, people, culture, and the experiences that connect us.But perhaps the most powerful thing Portia brings to this conversation isn't a particular job title.It's her conviction that our experiences can become gifts when we are willing to share them with other people.Her stories remind us to notice the synchronicities.To pay attention to the unexpected.To allow ourselves to receive help.To remain open to mystery.And, perhaps most importantly, to keep going.Because sometimes what looks like the end of one life chapter is actually the beginning of another.And thank goodness for that!Listen to the Full Episode My Friends!If you've ever experienced a strange coincidence after someone died, wondered whether a loved one was sending you a sign, struggled to find meaning after loss, or simply felt that there might be more mystery in this world than we can explain, this conversation with Portia is one you'll want to hear.Listen to Portia's extraordinary stories of grief, synchronicity, near-death experience, signs from loved ones, family, healing, and transformation—and see what happens when you remain open to the possibility that the world is communicating with you.

Eric Newman speaks with Marlon James about his latest novel, The Disappearers. Returning to Jamaica as an historical setting for the first time since his Booker-prize winning A Brief History of Seven Killings, James's latest tells a haunting story of violence and recovery against the backdrop of anti-gay violence in the 1980s. The novel follows seven gay men working together on a provocative play about homosexuality in the Jamaican prison system, only to be torn apart when they are brutally attacked by a group of vigilantes. Told from multiple perspectives across the 1990s and 2000s, The Disappearers follows the attack's survivors as they search for justice and try to rebuild themselves in the wake of the violence. James discusses the novel's exploration of homophobia, masculinity, race, belonging, and survival—as well as the complicated question of what it means not simply to survive atrocity, but to sustain and rebuild a life in its wake.

Marlon James is the author of the Booker Prize-winning A Brief History of Seven Killings; the National Book Award finalist Black Leopard, Red Wolf; the New York Times-bestselling Moon Witch, Spider King; The Book of Night Women; and John Crow's Devil. In addition to the Booker Prize, his novels have won the American Book Award, the Los Angeles Times' Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. On this episode of Little Atoms Marlon talks to Neil Denny about his Booker prize long listed novel The Disappearers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the end of summer, so Kate and Laura are looking back over their holiday reading, the books they loved, the ones that disappointed them, and the unexpected discoveries that made their reading lists longer rather than shorter.We talk about Alex E. Harrow's huge fantasy novel The Everlasting, and why it turned out to be a surprisingly divisive read. Kate reports back on her pick from the Booker longlist, The Palm House by Gwendolyn Riley. She's also recently completed The Power Broker, Robert Caro's iconic book on New York master-builder Robert Moses, but was it worth the read? She's also discussing The Silver Book, Olivia Laing's most recent work of fiction. In Pankaj Mishra's The Romantics, Laura found an interesting book club choice, while Kate's flagging up Vladimir by Julia May Jonas, and while on the campus novel theme she also read Joanna Miller's The Eights, set in 1920s Oxford. Laura wraps things up with the wonderfully atmospheric The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo.But there's more as pod-regular Phil Chaffee joins us with two of his favourite summer reads, Sue Prideaux's Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gauguin and Bret Easton Ellis's The Shards.As summer comes to an end, we're also looking ahead to Booker season, with the shortlist just around the corner and plenty more reading on the horizon.PatreonCome and find the pod on Patreon at patreon.com/thebookclubreviewKeep up with the pod between shows on Instagram @bookclubreviewpodcastFor all other information and our episode archive find The Book Club Review online at thebookclubreview.co.ukComplete booklistThe Power Broker by Robert CaroGideon the Ninth by Tamsyn MuirThe Everlasting by Alex E.
