...for this one, Paul Viafranco, we connected at the NAMI walk. Paul told me a bit coming here from San Antonio, but also, he's part of the Kidney Foundation of NWO. THAT is an organ we've never discussed on the show, but the health of it, and yours, tracks back to SO many things we've discussed in the past about improving the health of our community. Paul is also the first ever person to bring up Good Reads on the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  Do you guys remember earthquake drills? I grew up in California… So earthquake drills were just part of my life growing up. It seemed like we did earthquake drills nonstop. And despite that, I can never seem to remember what to do during an earthquake. Like, do I go to a doorway? Do I hide under a desk?  Do I stop, drop, and roll? Oh right, that's for fires. Some earthquakes are so big they have literally changed the size and rotation of the earth. The whole thing terrifies me because I learned that sometimes, an earthquake is just the *beginning* of a disaster.  Earthquakes can trigger *other* events - like tsunamis, fires, and even… human sacrifice. And once upon a time, an earthquake almost caused a nuclear disaster. So let's get into it.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Hi friends, happy Tuesday! Today, we're diving into the strange and twisted story of Michele Linehan, a former exotic dancer whose life took a dark turn straight out of a noir film.

Once inside the house, Ophelia meets a charming demon man named Blackwell (and a cute ghost kitty!) who offers to help her…in exchange for 10 years. Is it worth it?

We're joined one last time by fan favorite Katherine Hill (A Short Move) to talk about Nora Ephron's 1983 novel Heartburn, a thinly veiled account of the author's divorce from Carl Bernstein. Specifically: Why does it seem like everyone is reading this book right now? And is it somehow the godmother of the recent spate of Millenial divorce books? Also discussed: humor as a coping mechanism, voice-driven novels, recipes in fiction, and why are people on Goodreads mad at Nora Ephron?

Chatting with Suzanne Woods Fisher is always a pleasure, and this interview was delightful as well.  Learning all about her new series got me excited to read her latest release, Capture the Moment. Listen in and see what's up with her national parks series! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Photography is something we don't see enough of in Christian fiction. Maybe I've just missed all the books, but I can only name a small handful with that as a key component of the story.  Add to that a bear and a bunch of people wanting photos of it, oh... and this park ranger who might actually help out with the capturing of this photo and... SUSPENSE? What?  EEEP!  I mean, I'm calling it suspense, because like, duh! Someone with not-so-good motives toward a bear and anyone who gets in the way of said bear?  TOTALLY suspenseful in my book. Capture the Moment by Suzanne Woods Fisher She's ready for adventure--isn't she? Kate Cunningham is facing the opportunity of a lifetime. As a zoo photographer, she's spent years photographing animals in carefully controlled environments, but now National Geographic has dangled an irresistible prize: If Kate can snag a unique photo of a legendary bear in Grand Teton National Park, they just might publish it. It's the kind of challenge Kate has been waiting for, and she's eager to prove herself in the wild.  With more enthusiasm than experience, Kate soon realizes that capturing an image of this bear isn't as simple as she hoped. Fortunately, she crosses paths with Grant Cooper, a seasonal park ranger who knows the terrain--and the bears--better than anyone. His tracking skills could be exactly what Kate needs to succeed, and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes. But they're not the only ones with an interest in the park's most famous bear. And his motives are far from innocent. A clean, kisses-only contemporary romance and summer read by Suzanne Woods Fisher for wildlife, travel, and photography enthusiasts set in Grand Teton National Park. You can learn more about Suzanne from her WEBSITE.  Also, follow her on BookBub and GoodReads. Like to listen on the go?

 If you love historical fiction and want books set in places other than North America or England, Lynn U. Watson has a series for you. Listen in to see what you'll find in Frayed Promises. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Set in the late 19th century, Frayed Promises is full of family drama and life lessons we could all use a reminder on.   Frayed Promises by Lynn U. Watson Sequel to The BookFest® Award Winner, Tangled Promises Wurttemberg, Germany, 1881 “I'll keep your secret. But, Clara.” Oma looked her granddaughter in the eye. “Choices carry consequences.” Clara and Daniel--the Baron's daughter and the family carriage driver, followed their hearts and married secretly, circumventing nobility's rules. They conduct their lives separately while sneaking every opportunity to be together. When Clara is forced to reveal her marriage, can she also hide the life growing inside her, and what punishment awaits from her father? If Vati sends her away, Daniel promises to follow. But unexpected family troubles bring them face-to-face with the words of Proverbs 16:9. A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. Her grandmother's last warning spins like a tempest threatening to shipwreck their joy and fray every promise they have made. Will they trust that God gives impossibilities beautiful endings? If you enjoy stories of faith in the face of society's pressures and trusting God in times of struggle, you'll love this closed-door romance that will keep you guessing until the end. For readers of Tracie Peterson and Ann H. Gabhart. NOTE: Inconvenient pregnancy, sanctity of life, and past abortion are a part of this story—handled with gentleness and grace. Learn more about Lynn on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub. Also, don't miss the episode about Tangled Promises HERE. Like to listen on the go?

Yeah, this isn't an official James Bond movie but we had to do it and my co-hosts may hate me now for it. Even as a huge Bond fan, this is only my second time watching this and the last time was about 15 years ago. Maybe it'll be better this time?

Are Second Chances for Everyone? How do you know when you're ready for a second chance? Tina Yeager is joined by bestselling author of over 40 books, Kimberly Woodhouse, for a heartfelt conversation about “Second Chances.” Together, they explore how grace, forgiveness, and God's unwavering love make second (and twentieth!) chances possible—whether in our careers, relationships, or faith journeys. Kimberly shares insights from her latest novel, An Unexpected Grace, reflecting on characters who need renewal and the real-life experiences that shaped her storytelling. Hear stories of perseverance through crisis, the importance of supportive relationships, and honest struggles with grief and wounded hearts. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly eligible for a new beginning or how to hold on when life gets tough, this episode will encourage you to embrace hope, healing, and the abundance of grace waiting for you. Tune in for wisdom, practical encouragement, and stories that prove it's never too late for a second chance—with God, with yourself, and with others. Are second chances available to us all, even if we feel like we've run out of “do-overs”? Kim's response was powerful—she believes there is NO limit on second chances. God's grace is infinite, no matter how many times we fall or feel unworthy. In her words, “He's still there to pick me up out of the mud puddle and say, I love you, my daughter.” Hanging On When Life Gets Tough Kimberley shared heartfelt stories from her own life, including her family's struggles and how thousands have reached out to ask, “How did you get through it?” Her advice? “Tie a knot in the bottom of that rope and just hang on.” Whether it's singing, worshiping, or relying on supportive friends, Kimberley reminds us that clinging to hope and faith—especially in our lowest moments—is essential. Practical Ways to Persevere When navigating trials, Kimberley emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with prayerful friends, spending extra time in God's word, and holding yourself accountable with a supportive faith community. Even when we're trying our best, we may still fail—but God's forgiveness stretches further than we can imagine. Stories that Heal Kimberley's recent novel, An Unexpected Grace, explores the complexities of second chances in relationships. Through characters who face grief, shattered dreams, and wounded hearts, she demonstrates that healing and reconciliation are possible, even after years of pain. Through fiction, Kimberley believes we're able to experience truth and healing in fresh, relatable ways. Encouragement for the Wounded Whether you're grieving, struggling with broken relationships, or feeling distant from your God-given purpose, Kimberley urges us to remember: “God is not going to fail us the same way other people have.” Taking that step of faith, even when trust feels impossible, can lead to unexpected wholeness. Kimberley's Word of Hope Kimberley closed with her life verse: James 1:2-4—“Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.” She reminds us to look for joy even in tough seasons, trusting that God is shaping us along the way.

With her passion for life, history, and story, Liz Tolsma is the author of several novels ranging from World War II to Amish fiction. While she thought she'd write one book and be done, her debut novel was a finalist for two awards. Now she's a full-time author and editor, and she has never looked back. She joins us today to share about topics close to her heart, and to introduce her latest release, When the Sky Burned. A Word of Inspiration Liz Tolzma's writing journey began much like other authors—at a young age with a vivid imagination and an innate knack for storytelling. Dubbed "Sarah Bernhardt" by her parents due to her flair for drama, Liz was encouraged by a supportive fifth-grade teacher who instilled the dream of becoming a published author. Adoption: A Theme Close to the Heart A big passion for Liz centers around the theme of international adoption. She and her husband have welcomed three children into their family from different corners of the world, embedding rich experiences and diverse cultures into their lives. Liz speaks passionately about how adoption mirrors God's unconditional love and adoption of us, reflecting how it has shaped her as both a mother and a writer. Overlooked History Brought to Life "When the Sky Burned," Liz's latest novel, captures the essence of historical fiction by intertwining real events with an inspiring story. Set against the backdrop of the lesser-known Peshtigo Fire of 1871, Liz carefully balances historical accuracy with the fictional journeys of her characters. Mariah Randolph embodies resilience as she transitions from an artist to a survivor of blindness. Inspired by real stories of blind painters, Liz weaves a narrative that highlights resilience, transformation, and justice. What's Next for Liz Tolsma? Continuing with her theme of stories based on real-life events, Liz is excited to be writing a fictionalized version of a reader's family history from World War II. Readers can connect with her through her website, newsletter, GoodReads, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, X, and her own podcast. Enjoy a series of 6 exciting novels featuring historic disasters that transformed landscapes and multiple lives. Whether by nature or by man, these disasters changed history and were a day to be remembered. Promising painter Mariah Randolph longs to have her canvases displayed in the world's best museums, and Hollis Stanford, the heir of a railroad tycoon, is her ticket to success. The railroad's bookkeeper, Jay Franklin, discovers discrepancies and is convinced that Hollis is stealing from the company. But any proof of his dirty dealings go up in smoke when fire utterly destroys the town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, October 8, 1871. The fire leaves Mariah blind, but Jay befriends her and even helps her to start painting again. But a trip to Chicago to return Hollis's daughter to him could put both Mariah and Jay in more danger than even the fire that devastated the town and their lives. Other Historical Bookworm episodes with Liz Tolsma include a Pinch of the Past and a Bookchat about A Picture of Hope Bookworm Review Today's bookworm review is brought to you by author Angela Bell Today's Bookworm Review is bought to you by Angela Bell. “The Bounty Hunter's Surrender solidifies  KyLee Woodley as a veritable sharpshooter of a storyteller! In her second Outlaw Hearts novel, Woodley skillfully corrals the tension of a showdown at high noon, complex characters, fastidious historical research, and a mystery with all the twists of a gnarled tumbleweed into a tale sure to whisk readers away on a wild ride into a hope-filled sunset. If you're drawn to the rugged romance of the old west, consider The Bounty Hunter's Surrender your next most wanted read!” ~ Angela Bell, author of A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventure

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  Do you guys remember that movie “Where the Heart Is?” It's all about this girl who secretly moves into the store without anyone noticing, then she gives birth in the mattress department… and again, no one notices… It stars Natalie Portman, it's great.  When I was a kid and I saw this movie, it was 100% believable to me. I mean when I think of Walmart, I think of this ridiculously *HUGE* store with everything you could possibly need.  I'm talking late night tampon runs, trashbags, nail polish removers, hot Cheetos and cream cheese… if you know you know. I honestly don't even remember a time in my life when Walmart didn't exist.  Millions of Americans depend on their low prices just to get by in this economy. Walmart is a savior to some people.  Others believe it's the reason millions of Americans are in debt. I know… plot twist. Whatever you believe… Walmart is the biggest company in the world and *everyone* has an opinion on it.  So of course I had to get the tea for us. Welcome to the Dark History of WALMART! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Dry Eyes No More: The Revolutionary Drink Saving Your Vision Theeyedrink.com About the Guest(s): Dr. Roger Wu - Dr. Wu is an experienced optometrist who has been in private practice for over 25 years. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Rutgers University and obtained his Doctorate in Optometry from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. Leveraging his extensive experience in eye care and his passion for innovation, Dr. Wu has co-founded 20/20 Incorporated, dealing with eye health beverages. Jorge Olson - Olson is a beverage industry expert with over 20 years of experience. He has launched a plethora of beverages and has been instrumental in taking five companies public, raising over $100 million. He is the author of several business and marketing books, including "Build Your Beverage Empire." Olson serves as the CMO of 20/20 Incorporated, bringing his expertise to the forefront of eye-health functional beverages. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris dives into a fascinating discussion with Dr. Roger Wu and Jorge Olson about the new venture by 20/20 Incorporated. The company has introduced a breakthrough product, the Eye Drink, a functional beverage scientifically formulated to address eye health for digital device users. This episode brings to light the burgeoning issue of digital eye strain affecting millions globally, and how this pioneering beverage proposes a convenient solution. Dr. Wu and Jorge Olson delve into a detailed conversation about the formulation and benefits of the Eye Drink, which targets dry eyes and macular health. The rise in digital device usage has led to an increase in eye-related issues, impacting individuals even at a younger age. The Eye Drink, backed by scientific research and designed to maintain eye health, becomes particularly relevant in this digital age. From insightful case studies to discussing the societal implications of prolonged screen usage, the guests provide listeners with in-depth knowledge and practical solutions to better eye health. Key Takeaways: The Eye Drink by 20/20 Incorporated is the world's first ready-to-drink functional beverage created specifically to aid in eye health for digital device users. Digital device usage has been linked to an increase in eye-related issues such as dry eyes and macular degeneration, affecting even younger populations. The beverage is based on the AREDS2 formulation, incorporating essential nutrients and Omega-3 to combat screen-induced eye problems. Both over-the-counter eye drops and prescription medications have limited efficacy, while the Eye Drink offers a convenient and scientifically-backed solution. Jorge Olson and Dr. Wu stress the importance of reducing screen time and investing in blue light filtering lenses to protect eye health further. Notable Quotes: "We know the cause of digital eye strain and are focused on developing an effective, scientifically-based solution." - Dr. Roger Wu "One bottle a day can help maintain your eye health if you spend two hours or more daily on a screen." - Jorge Olson "It's not just about solving a health problem; it's about addressing a massive social issue created by technology." - Jorge Olson "Our formulation is based on the large international study AREDS2 to ensure efficacy and support macular health." - Dr. Roger Wu "The Eye Drink is made to solve a societal problem, and our go-to-market strategy includes both wholesale distribution and direct from doctors' offices." - Jorge Olson Resources: Visit the Eye Drink website for more details and orders: theidrink.com Explore Jorge Olson's books such as "Build Your Beverage Empire".

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! As a country, America has always had a complicated relationship with dairy. One month we hate it, the next month, some weird cottage cheese recipe goes viral, and we're all over it again. But here's something I thought was a little strange. You never hear about dairy farmers or the dairy industry going bankrupt. It made me wonder why. Turns out… the dairy industry is in bed with the government.  Why? Because the government desperately needs them not to fail. And that's just the tip of the string cheese. We've been brainwashed into thinking we *need* dairy from the time we were kids. And there's a wild reason for that.   It involves Marie Antoinette, cheese caves, and… Dominoes? Guys… this is a wild one. And I'm not going to lie… you might think twice before ordering your next Taco Bell burrito.  Welcome to the Dark History of Big Dairy!  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Hi friends, happy Tuesday! Christine Falling, infamously dubbed “the babysitter from hell,” gained notoriety for her shocking neglect and manipulative behavior while entrusted with the care of children. From the years of 1980-1982 she killed five infants and one elderly man. How did this go on for so long and nobody said anything? Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon xo Bailey Sarian I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in show.
