Stop Drop and Rawle

My “Cool Runnings” costar Doug E Doug and I play catch-up as we discuss a myriad of topics. Nothing is off the table as we traverse through subjects like Fatherhood, Fame and Beyoncé. We even get around to talking about the movie “Cool Runnings” and the effect it had on our young lives. Doug is a great conversationalist who maneuvers through sensitive and complexed subject matters with humor and ease. His insights are very noteworthy and I often leave these conversations feeling enlightened and

To call Radhika Vekaria an artist, pianist, or songwriter singer would be grossly understating the magnitude of her multidimensional abilities. Yes, she happens to be all those things mentioned but those gifts are just her pathways towards expressing her deep endless love for humanity. In fact, her loving compassionate nature is in her name, RADHIKA. It is a Sanskrit derived name given to her by her father. Her name essentially means never-ending-love and she most definitely exudes such qualities

81 year old Claudia Tado is a tour de force. She dances through life marching to the beat of her own drum. Claudia has though me a lot about expressiveness and openness. She is a hurricane of emotions. She is the first to tell you how much she loves you and appreciates your very being but also the first to bark the words, “Get out of the way” when she’s in a hurry. Claudia is refreshingly transparent. This creates a low atmospheric pressure to any environment she enters. Plus it’s quite freeing to

LOVE AND POLITRICKS Sean and Terie happen to be two of my oldest friends. I was interested in them doing this podcast because they are a married couple who both voted for and support different political parties. This was very intriguing to me due to the political polarization of the country right now. That country happens to be the “United States”. At the moment this seems to be a very oxymoronic title for our nation. Despite our country’s political quibbles, Sean Elliott and Terie Gallo seem to be

My guest Tats Nkonzo is an international comedian who’s star is steadily rising. I see him as part of the “Leaders of the New School”. These are a new brand of comedians who are representing a global perspective. Tats is repin’ his hood but his hood is also the world. Like the USA, South Africa is a collage of cultures, cooking in a stew. This created the perfect cultural meals for Tats Nkonzo to have digested a microcosm of the world. He is armed with an arsenal of world wide, pop culture

Los Angeles Police Officers Julie Nony and Kristina Montoya are attempting to make a difference in their communities by repairing the trust between citizens and the LAPD. They were more than happy to join me in a conversation, in which they proudly talked about the Los Angeles Police Department’s many reform programs. My candid dialogue with these two Community Relations officers varied from the George Floyd incident to cop themed stripper grams. They seem to have a Zen approach to policing, which

Who are we really? I mean, who are we beyond our labels of Black, White, Fat, Thin, Young, Old, Rich, Poor? What is our story beyond that? I believe everyone has got a bit of wisdom in them. In this podcast, I will have fun and fascinating conversations with citizens from around the world, who travel in various paths of life. We will listen to their stories, learn, laugh and love. My hope is that their stories will feel a lot like our stories, as our worlds begin to merge. --- Send in a voice
