All About South Coast Repertory

This week our OC SPOTLIGHT is shining brightly on our next door neighbor, the incredible South Coast Repertory Theatre, one of the few places promoting, developing and producing original plays here in Southern California.  Our Public Affairs Director Claudia Shambaugh talks with SCR's Public Relations Director Tania Thompson about the theatre's 50 year odyssey from "beachfront to Broadway" and their Tony award winning history. Plus their upcoming Playwright's Festival and new productions and all their other wide ranging community outreach programs.  Hear the whole story  of where they've been, what they're doing and where they're heading as SCR continues to grow in stature and success here in our community (and across the country).

The Power of Podcasting for Marketers Today

Matt Heinz from Heinz Marketing talks about the success of his podcast SALES PIPELINE RADIO and how he went from being a skeptic to a fanatic about the power of podcasting to brand yourself, build an audience and create meaningful engagement with prospects and customers alike.  As he says, "what's it worth to get 30 minutes of someone's time to tell your story?"

How to Bullet Proof Your Marriage

On this week's OC SPOTLIGHT we talk to a long time forensic accountant, John Stirling Kinross, who has collected and chronicled his most amazing divorce cases in a new book specifically for women entitled HOW YOUR HUSBAND SCREWS YOU IN DIVORCE (and how you can protect yourself by BULLET PROOFING YOUR MARRIAGE). In it he gives fascinating case studies ("horror stories" as he calls them) of affluent, intelligent women who in the name of love did NOT treat their marriage as a real contract nor insist on the same level of clarity, transparancy and legal protection that they would in any other form of partnership.

"We prepare for all types of disasters," says author John Stirling Kinross. "So why not divorce?"  Learn from the mistakes of others in this series of real life examples (none of which you'll ever believe could possibly happen to you) and take the simple, precautionary steps John recommends to truly protect yourself from the "doomsday scenario" that you hope and pray will never happen.  Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.  And thereby BULLET PROOF YOUR MARRIAGE from the disaster of divorce.

United to End Homelessness

There is a united way here in the OC to tackle homelessness and it's being led by the actual UNITED WAY of Orange County.  With a wide assortment of public and private partners in business, churches, cities and community groups, their goal is to solve this persistent problem once and for all (or at least make a meaningful dent in the size and suffering of this persistent population). 

We recently invited United Way-OC's new President and CEO Susan Parks into our studios to talk about their ambitious initiative (one of the few we can think of that unites people from all across the different political and economic spectrums of this county) as part of our OC SPOTLIGHT series of weekly public affairs programming, hosted by Claudia Shambaugh...longtime KUCI host and our newest Public Affairs Director here at OC Talk Radio (Orange County's only community radio station).
