Radio talk shows desperately need people to be interviewed. Producers who cannot find interesting guests for interviews will soon lose their jobs. If you can entertain people and inform people, the producers of radio talk shows desperately need you.If you are the author of a non-technical book, you need to be on radio talk shows. You have to promote your own book; you can't count on your publisher to. You have to let people know about your book. You have to make them desire to buy it. You have to make them excited about it. It's too expensive for you to go on a nationwide book tour and talk to a few people here and there at bookstore meet-the-authors and book signings. That's expensive and exhausting and it won't reach that many people.You can reach a huge number of people by placing ads on radio stations, but you can't afford that either. You can, however, be invited to be a guest on radio talk shows. You'll get maybe half an hour talking to thousands of people, telling them stories, giving them surprising information, and at the end, you get to tell them how to buy your book. You can't afford ... [more..]

In the Lentera Merah movie (Indonesian), a scene shows the side profile of a book being pushed off the shelf seen from the left side of the movie camera. It is not really scary up to until a hand comes out of a book shelf. Surprise! The director similarly uses the left side of the movie camera for another scene where the lamp suddenly lights up. Placing the lamp off is insignificant & not shown or probably even edited out of the movie before the release. The ghost lady with the lamp haunts the university & kills people. The killings of the Lentera Merah journalists are not without its clues. The ghost is also not as scary as it should be in the Lentera Merah movie. You may notice that the Lentera Merah movie is banking hard on a suspenseful storyline, clich? electronics going on & off, the characters haunting cries, & abstruse facial expressions for its horror content.It is strange how Risa (Laudya Cynthia Bella) knows a lot about the hidden clues of the new member's annual ritual night. Obviously, as you may suspect in the middle of the movie, she could even have had something to do with ... [more..]

"Images can either imprison or liberate us." -Roberto AssagioliTonight I saw a panel of White House correspondents talking about what it was like to cover the White House. They ask questions of administration officials because there are always questions to ask, then write their story and go on camera (if they're a TV reporter) and report what that official said. The last question an audience member asked the panel was, "Sure you ask questions, but what else are you doing to see if there's more to the story than you're being told? It's your job to inform us, your viewers, if there is."After years of covering county, city, and state government in Texas (and those were the days we asked elected officials tough questions and we didn't let them off the hook -- the questions were only the beginning of the research we did to tell our viewers what their government was doing with their tax dollars), I began a 9 year career with a TV station that allowed me to do over 2,000 feature stories about unique people, off-the-beaten path places, and it is the feature story which I came to love doing so much that I want to ... [more..]

Lynda Carter is gearing up for another Billboard blockbuster in "Crazy Little Things."Her first album, "At Last," rang up at #8 on Billboard shortly after its release last season. A potpourri of a dozen memorable hits from the Great American Songbook, it tantalizes and reverberates with lush melodies and imaginative arrangements. She will follow it shortly with a second album incorporating some of the numbers featured in her latest cabaret show, "Crazy Little Things.""The title comes from my sense of humor," she said, as we chatted before her recent concert at the Kennedy Center. "I love variation so I chose music from different genres. 'Locomotion' is one of my favorites in the program. It's not done the old way, but in a slow groove with a back beat. I have a very different take on Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together,' as well as on 'Up On The Roof,' and I add a country touch with Patsy Cline's 'Walkin' After Midnight.'"Carter is quick to explain that these songs are not covers but are re-imagined and framed in different contexts. A hands-on artist, she writes many of her arrangements. When she begins planning a program, she sits down with the entire band ... [more..]
