In this special discussion, Dr.s Kay & Ray share their highlights from The Real Housewives of New York, season 15, reunion episodes,  after discussing the big breakup in Bachelor Nation of Rachel Kirkconnell and Matt James. Matt, the first Black bachelor, and Rachel, his final rose winner (whom he did not propose to, but instead started dating), have broken up after 4 years together. At the end of their season, photographs emerged of Rachel dressed in costume for a southern plantation-themed party, a type of party that glorifies and embraces a time in history marked by white enslavement of black individuals.  The RHONY Reunion raised numerous painful topics, including those facing Jessel & Pavit, Brynn & Ubah, and Racquel. Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss these painful topics from a trauma-focused perspective, which leads to both support & constructive criticism of each castmate.  For example, in just the backstage scene between Raquel & Brynn, both castmates, while well-intentioned, said implicitly disrespectful things to one another.

Welcome Dr. Linda Thornton to The Mark Howley Show! Tune in today for this inspiring TRUE story! Dr. Thornton is the first female trained black prosthodontist (aka she is an expert in dentures) and a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Dental Corps. She grew up in a poor family in New Jersey as the youngest of five girls. Her father was determined to educate his daughters and support them in becoming doctors. Their story feels oddly similar to the infamous tennis athletes of the Williams sisters.    To raise funds for college, the family started a band The Thornton Sisters which became so successful they sang alongside The Supremes. Her father worked many jobs like ditch digging that led to many of the connections landing them gigs in prestigious universities. Her mother did all the costume creation and managed the entire family while working. All five of the sisters indeed became physicians and their story inspired a book, The Ditchdigger's Daughters later turned into a movie starring Carl Lumbly who was cast as their father. They appeared on the Oprah show as a result of their fame as their story gained more traction. Dr. Thornton is currently on the staff of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) where she is in the process of starting a business DanTass (named after her parents) to help students through the expensive process of becoming a doctor.    Her joy for life, her passion for dentistry and incredible personality captivated us from the beginning. Tune in today for this inspiring TRUE story.

In March 1975, West Germany – the newly crowned world champions – came to London's Wembley Stadium for a friendly against England.Among the German squad was a 28-year-old striker who'd already attracted a lot of attention from the British media: not because he'd been hailed as the new Gerd Müller, Germany's legendary goal scorer, but because of the colour of his skin.Erwin Kostedde was the son of a white German mother and a black US soldier, and he had been on the receiving end of racism for most of his life – even during what he considered to be the best years of his career, at Kickers Offenbach. He talks to Kristine Pommert about how racist taunts from supporters and even fellow players affected his game – and how he feels about being a trailblazer for young black players today.
