Welcome to THE GRIEF GIRL

Friday Feb 26, 2016
Check out our newest show, THE GRIEF GIRL, hosted by Kristi Hugsted which tries to pull back the curtain and remove the stigma attached to one of our final taboo topics, grief and the grieving process. Having been there herself after her husband's dramatic suicide, Kristi transformed herself into a survivor and grief counselor to help others understand and learn how to deal with grief and keep it from overwhelming us. So join us twice a month as she brings in real people with real grief stories and how they handled them from dramatic losses like those suffered by parents of teenage suicides to the day-to-day losses we all suffer and try to bury like job loss and marital breakups in the hope that we'll all learn to handle them better and live through the natural grieving processes attached to each. Only on Orange County's only community radio station, www.OCTalkRadio.net.

See if you can match our resident "boy genius" who got all five questions right today in our regular IS IT A LAW segment on our weekly public policy show (THE CITY SQUARE, Wednesdays at 9am) including such queries as "Is it against the law in Hawaii to insert pennies in your ears" and "in Conyers, Georgia, is is against the law to shout 'two fried eggs and a fritter for 25 cents' " (HINT: they're both RIGHT!) Can you correctly guess the others? Only on Orange County's only community radio station, www.OCTalkRadio.net.

Understanding Turkey's Role in the Middle East
Tuesday Feb 09, 2016
Tuesday Feb 09, 2016
Listen as Kerim Balci, Editor of the Turkish Review, and a leading dissident in that country discusses Turkey's important role in the Middle East and the various historical, ethnic and religious forces that often pull them in conflicting directions. Take for example, President Erdogan's sudden turn towards becoming a "demo-crator" (or democratically elected dictator) like his former friend and now outspoken foe, Vladimir Putin. Are these two strongmen the last of a dying breed or two halves of the same coin? And how will both react to the growing chaos in Syria? Will Russia continue to bomb the Turkmen (and other rebel foes of the Assad regime...a regime that both Turkey and the US are committed to see removed)? And will Turkey be forced to protect this Turkish minority in Syria and enter into an armed conflict or confrontation with Russia, similar to the wars they've historically fought over the past two centuries? Or will the new economic realities (where Russia supplies most of Turkey's natural gas) trump this ethnic tie? It all depends, says Mr. Balci, on the personalities of the Middle East's two last "democrators" (Putin and Erdogan) and how they balance the competing ethnic, religious and geopolitical forces that keep them in power, including their own desire to correct history and restore their respective countries' "lost greatness" (with eerie similarities to our own Mr. Trump). Hear Mr. Balci's views on this "post imperial trauma" and how Turkey will continue to follow it's own path by continuing to fight the Kurds whom we see as the best ground forces in our fight against ISIS but whom the Turks see as an even bigger threat to their national integrity, as they've fought for decades to break away and turn a big part of eastern Turkey (along with northern Syria, Iraq and Iran) into the homeland they were promised but never received after the Allies redrew the map of the Middle East after World War II. Spend an hour and get a crash course in Middle Eastern history, ethnic tensions and religious fissures that continue to confound our efforts for peace throughout the region and learn how Turkey may be the key to it all with its one foot in Europe (as a trusted NATO ally and proposed European Union member) and its other foot in the Islamic world (including its model role as an Islamic secular state, now threatened by Mr. Erdogan's rise as a classic MIddle Eastern strongman backed by his increasingly conservative Islamic political party). All brought to us by the Orange County Chapter of the Pacifica Institute as part of their commitment to "interfaith dialog" and a greater understanding of Turkey here in America.

Listen as we talk with Wall Street Journal cartoonist Stu Heinecke about his new book HOW TO GET A MEETING WITH ANYONE and how he uses his cartoons to break thru to people of great importance. He also talks about this whole new world of "contact marketing" (a term he created and popularized) as a way of meeting anyone you want to meet with creative marketing tools, tips, tricks and techniques like creating an oversized, custom cartoon and delivering it to them or (yes) even hosting your own radio show. All this and more from the host of CONTACT MARKETING RADIO, every Thursday at 10am PST here on www.OCTalkRadio.net

Cal Cap Partners have covered a wide variety of investment topics in their weekly show here on our station (The Private Investing and Business Finance Hour, Wednesdays at 2pm PST) from investments in the emerging "vape space" and suddenly legal medical marijuana industries to more technical discussions of the government's EB-5 "millionaire visa program" and new equity crowdfunding regulations. But here's one that still shocked me: the opportunity to invest in Horror based films and new media projects thru the new HORROR EQUITY FUND. According to our guests, 15 of the top 20 films with real ROI were horror based projects, and with the arrival of virtual reality and other new mediums, this market may only get bigger. So hear how they are trying to find, develop, fund and "accelerate to market" a wide variety of horror films and other projects.
