After 19 years, paranormal researcher Larry Arnold returns to talk with Gene and cohost Tim Swartz about the strange and frightening phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion (SHC). He is regarded by many as the world's expert on SHC, but others regard him  as a “mystery monger” and “world-class fool.” After leaving Lafayette College and a brief career in electrical engineering, Arnold founded PSI: ParaScience International in 1976 to pursue the exploration of Fortean anomalies and consciousness. His controversial article published in August 1978, titled “Meltdown…at TMI-2,” would 8 months later be termed “uncannily accurate” by The Philadelphia Inquirer in presaging the future of that nuclear power plant's “impossible” Class IX meltdown near his home. The tragedy was best known as Three Mile Island. This discussion will cover both the nuclear incident and his 1995 classic title, “Ablaze!” This large book contains hundreds of unbelievable examples of The Fire Within, culled from long-forgotten obscure medical journals and never-before-published interviews with witnesses to the impossible. Arnold has been a guest on hundreds of radio and internet-radio programs and a number of radio and TV shows that include provocative radio host Howard Stern. He has also delivered lectures at a number of colleges and universities. His “unofficial” website is www.ParaScience.com. Caution: This episode has graphic descriptions of episodes of spontaneous human combustion.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

Artie Lange, Gilbert Gottfried, Robert Kelly and Mark Normand 3/8The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.

Howard Stern believes sportscasters should normalize saying "penis" on air. In basketball, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns from criticism as the Pacers surprisingly took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Evan and Tiki debated the Knicks' situation, while the Yankees beat the Royals with a 5-run inning and an Aaron Judge homer. Marcus Stroman made a rehab start, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to two Brandon Nimmo home runs and a complete game from David Peterson, though Pete Alonso getting hit angered Ron Darling. Finally, Mike Tannenbaum predicted Aaron Rodgers would be irrelevant by Thanksgiving, and Rodgers recently got married privately.

Howard Stern wants sportscasters to normalize the penis. He said announcers will never say they got hit in the nuts or the penis. Kyrie Irving has had it with people criticizing Karl-Anthony Towns.

In this episode of Hollywood Stories: Tales From Television, Richard Rushfield takes us back to the heyday of the original “American Idol” in the aughts and early 2010s, when the Fox juggernaut dominated conversation everywhere from “Howard Stern” to the “Today” show and produced megastars like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. But there was one powerful figure behind the scenes whose quiet devotion touched future superstars from Katherine McPhee to Jordin Sparks: Pastor Leesa Bellesi. Through her American Idol Ministry, Bellesi not only prayed for the success of these contestants, but she also helped them and their families navigate the harsh spotlight of sudden fame that glared upon even the ones who didn't make it far. Richard chronicled Bellisi's incredible journey in his 2011 book, “American Idol: The Untold Story,” and now, more than two decades later, they revisit it together as she recalls her spiritual connection with the show and its stars — from the Bible passage that bonded her with McPhee to a fateful prayer circle with judge Paula Abdul. "It was such a God thing," she tells Richard. "The prayers that I prayed in that room are living themselves out still to this day." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

TITLE: Two Emcees Double Down on Event Success (ft. John Di Domenico | Event Emcee | Impersonator | Keynote Speaker)GUEST BIO:Emmy-nominated actor and 5X Best of Las Vegas winner John Di Domenico brings comedy and impressions to corporate events. Featured on Conan, Kimmel, and Howard Stern, he's collaborated with Fortune 500 companies like AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, and American Express as a professional emcee, delivering memorable experiences through custom content.OPENING QUOTE:Because the thing that an emcee does best, you and I do, that people can't see. If we do it right, it's seamless. It's that we keep the meeting moving, we keep the audience engaged, we read the audience. Do they need a serious moment here? Do they need to physically stand up? What do they need to keep that high level of engagement?SUMMARY:Scott Bloom and John Di Domenico, both experienced MCs and performers, reflect on their careers and long friendship. They share how their journeys in stand-up comedy led them into the world of corporate events. Both started their entertainment careers doing stand-up from a young age, but realized the corporate event world allowed them to use their skills in more creative and collaborative ways.John shares the path he took from performing in clubs and working as a copywriter to becoming a sought-after corporate entertainer, impersonator, and MC. He talks about the importance of deep customization—learning about the company, its culture, and the people in the audience—to deliver performances that truly resonate. Scott echoes this, highlighting how being able to read the room and keep audiences engaged is what sets professional MCs apart from internal company hosts.John details his unique process for preparing for events, from extensive research into company backgrounds to speech warmups (a legacy of overcoming childhood speech impediments). He also touches on his journey from doing full-character impersonations (complete with wigs and prosthetics) to performing as himself while using his array of voices and impressions for added flavor. Both hosts note that today's audiences for business events are more sophisticated and expect a "show," not just a meeting.The episode finishes with a fun rapid-fire Q&A where John reveals his favorite character (Austin Powers), his go-to karaoke song, and his hidden talents. The conversation overall is engaging, light-hearted, and packed with wisdom for the new event professional to the seasoned professional.HIRE THEM TO HOST OR SPEAK:Follow John Di Domenico: thejohnnydshow.com/Follow Scott Bloom: eSpeakers BioFollow eSpeakers: eSpeakers MarketplaceABOUT NO MORE BAD EVENTS:Brought to you by eSpeakers and hosted by professional emcee, host, and keynote speaker Scott Bloom, No More Bad Events is where you'll hear from some of the top names in the event and speaking industry about what goes on behind the scenes at the world's most perfectly executed conferences, meetings, and more.

Podcast wars can be incredibly fun but do people tend to take it too far? Or is it all fair game in the world of comedy? I set up a round table with Adam Busch (star of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and co-host of Who Are These Podcasts), Tom Myers (host of Make America Innate Again) and the returning Ekul Pineapple (host of What's Your Handle & Pint Dabble Pint) to debate whether or the jokes about Kevin Brennan's brother dying are crossing a line or if they're just karma, if the obsession of trolling Aaron Imholte from Steel Toe Morning Show has gone too far and of course, Tom Myers long running feud with Who Are These Podcasts... along with much, MUCH more.FOLLOW THE GUESTS==================Tom Myers https://www.instagram.com/the.tom.myers/Adam Busch https://x.com/EkulPineappleEkul Pineapple https://x.com/adambuschBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/it-s-hughezy-hello--3476000/support.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to the “All-In Podcast's” Jason Calacanis about the origins of podcasting and how it evolved from blogging; his obsession with mastering every part of media production for independence; the early days of podcasting before mainstream adoption; the influence of figures like Howard Stern, Adam Curry, and Tom Green on new media; the emotional impact and asymmetrical intimacy of daily podcasting; how fame in podcasting differs from traditional celebrity; his extroverted nature and unique connection with fans; investing in startups like Uber and Robinhood with high risk but massive returns; his “mutant” ability to spot winners in angel investing early, like Uber's Travis Kalanick; how he looks for founder traits like intensity, awkwardness, and deep conviction; why his childhood poverty in Brooklyn fueled his drive for wealth and control; the emotional moment when he became financially secure; the dangers of post-exit depression for entrepreneurs; how true freedom comes from building without needing permission or investors; the importance of skills over vague dream-chasing; how Founder University helps teach practical startup essentials; how Silicon Valley figures like Elon Musk were initially dismissed in LA's entertainment circles; how the tech industry evolved from being admired to viewed with skepticism after the rise of Facebook and social media toxicity; how Elon nearly lost Tesla and SpaceX during the 2008 crisis; how Jason offered to personally loan Elon money and pre-ordered two Model S cars to support him; how that Model S became a historic prototype worth over $1 million; and much more.

YOUR PERSONA & PRESENCE MAKE YOU UNFORGETTABLE As a podcaster, you spend countless hours perfecting your content. But are you making your show truly unforgettable? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I reveal why your unique persona and presence are the most important assets you have. These are assets that artificial intelligence or your competition can never copy. When you infuse your content with your personal story and authentic self, you stand out from the endless sea of sameness. It's this magnetism that attracts loyal listeners and turns casual followers into raving fans for your brand. WHY YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPERPOWER Let's be real: being slightly better or just another "shade of gray" won't set you apart in today's crowded landscape. It's not about being cheaper, having a slicker course, or even a more refined mic setup. What makes people choose you, over and over again, is your story—your origin, your journey, your perspective. Your competition might try to imitate your process, but they'll never replicate your lived experience and genuine voice. In this episode, I break down how icons like Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, and Zig Ziglar rose to fame by unapologetically sharing who they are and weaving personal stories into every lesson. STOP TEACHING—START ENTERTAINING Too many podcasters get caught up in cramming more information into each episode. Here's the truth: listeners crave entertainment. Even when they're tuning in to learn, it's the stories and emotions you invoke that keep them coming back. Just think about your favorite teacher—the one who brought lessons to life, not the monotone professor who put the class to sleep. In this episode, I show you how to wrap your valuable content in relatable, audience-focused stories. When you stir emotion and invite your audience into your world, you don't just give them information—you give them an unforgettable experience. DEFINE YOUR BRAND WITH INTENTION Your brand isn't an accident—it's a choice. I walk you through how to identify four to six adjectives that define your podcast persona and ensure every episode supports those characteristics. Are you insightful, quirky, bold, or caring? Structure your content and stories to reinforce these brand traits with consistency and confidence. When you intentionally choose the characteristics your show stands for, you foster trust and recognition in your niche. Just like Gary Vaynerchuk and Mel Robbins attract their tribes with distinct personas, you can create a magnetic brand by sharing your story your way. TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO GREATNESS If you ever wonder why your audience isn't growing, your engagement is flat, or you're not making money with your podcast, the answer is likely simple: you haven't leaned into your story and presence enough. Now is the time to stand out by being more authentic, more entertaining, and more YOU. If you want hands-on help developing your podcast persona or building stronger, more profitable relationships with your audience, apply for a free coaching call at https://podcasttalentcoach.com/strategy-call/. Let's craft your story and turn your podcast into the influential, client-attracting platform you deserve.

Are you tired of feeling like your podcast blends in with the crowd? On this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I'm diving deep into the one thing that will truly set your show apart. We talk about overcoming your speaking fear so you can step into your unique perspective and authentic story. EMBRACE YOUR PERSPECTIVE You've got something to say. You've walked through fire, learned the lessons, and earned your perspective. Unfortunately, your communication of that message has little to do with your content and more to do with your presence. If your message is muddled or your story is missing, your authority won't land with your ideal client. Your influence has less to do with your platform and more to do with your presence. To become someone worth listening to, you need to deliver more than great content. You need to share yourself. That can come along with some fear. Magnetic leaders don't just share what they do, they share who they are. They tell the story that makes others believe. I learned this the hard way by trial and error when I started in radio 35 years ago. My program director asked me when I was going to start being myself. It took a lot of hours on the air to discover what makes me different. It's not what I'm saying. It's whom I'm being. I had to overcome my fear and step into myself. It starts with one thing: Your Origin Story. ORIGIN STORY MASTERCLASS If you're ready to strategically use podcasting, video, keynotes, and interviews to grow your influence and become someone worth listening to, join me for my Origin Story Masterclass. Get details at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/workshop. This one-hour masterclass will help align your influence with your story and the right audiences for maximum impact. Write your story and overcome your fear. This is for you if you're a entrepreneur, creator, or leader with a message, but your story feels scattered. You need to join us if you want to speak, teach, or lead — but you're unsure how to position yourself. Be part of this masterclass if you're ready to defeat your fear to stand out as a trusted andrespected voice. Get registered for the Origin Story Masterclass online at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/workshop. HOW YOU SAY IT Your origin story is critical, because it is the foundation of whom you're being. Once you know your origin story and principles, you can overcome your fear and find the confidence to lean into that persona. Most communication is nonverbal. Not what you say, but how you say it. There was a study done by Dr. Albert Mehrabian. Many refer to the study out of context by saying 7% of communication comes from the words you say. 38% of communication is your tone of voice. And 55% is your body language. Dr. Mehrabian didn't exactly say that. But, it was close. He did talk about those numbers and he did say a majority of communication is nonverbal. Even if the numbers are off a bit, the principle is still true. It's not what you say that is the most important. Powerful communication comes from whom you're being while you say it. Unfortunately, fear often holds that back. Lean into your personality. Your communication will be so much more powerful allowing you to attract raving fans. RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH STORY Too many podcasters focus only on delivering information, but what really creates influence and profitable relationships with your audience is who you are while delivering your message. On this episode, I share why your communication style and presence are more powerful than the content alone and how you can step fully into your own spotlight without fear. Let's talk about what separates the most influential voices in any niche. Think Oprah, Howard Stern, or Gary Vee. It's not just their expertise; it's their story and how they deliver it with authenticity. Discover how adding your own perspective and sharing pieces of your origin story each week can magnetize listeners. It can also create true fans, and make your podcast stand out in the sea of sameness. I'll also explain the four core elements every podcaster must master. These include attention-grabbing artwork, a compelling show name, a laser-focused description, and captivating episode titles that hook your ideal listener.

Scores: How I Opened the Hottest Strip Club in New York City, Was Extorted out of Millions by the Gambino Family, and Became One of the Most Successful Mafia Informants in FBI History A gay man who created New York's most notorious den of heterosexuality . . . an anxious, anything-but-hardboiled lawyer who became one of the most successful undercover mob informants in history. . . .In this hilarious and fascinating account, Michael Blutrich takes you inside star-studded 1990s New York, mafia sit-downs, and the witness protection program.Meet Michael D. Blutrich, founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York history. A resourceful lawyer at one of the city's most respected firms, Blutrich fell into the skin trade almost by accident, but it was his legal savvy that made Scores the first club in Manhattan to feature lap dances and enabled him to neatly sidestep a law requiring dancers to wear pasties by instead covering their nipples with latex paint. Soon Scores, the club Howard Stern called “like being in a candy shop,” was a home away from home for everyone from sports superstars and Oscar-winning actors to pop singers and political notables alike.The catch? The club was smack dab in John Gotti's territory, and the mafia wanted a piece of the action. The Gambino family doesn't take no for an answer . . . and neither, as it turns out, does the FBI. In his memoir, Blutrich recounts in detail how his beloved club became a hub for the mafia, and how he found himself caught up in an FBI investigation, sorely struggling to juggle roles of business owner and undercover spy.As his life spiraled out of control, Blutrich would face the loss of almost everything dear to him. But whether marching a line of topless strippers as human exhibits into a trial to save the club's liquor license or wearing wires to meetings with armed gangsters, he never lost his sense of humor or his nerve. In Scores, Blutrich finally tells all—from triumph to betrayal—in his own funny, self-deprecating voice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
