FROM HER BIO: "I was born in Torrance, CA but my family soon relocated to Corona, CA where I spent most of my youth. I have always enjoyed being creative and keeping myself busy. Growing up, my life usually revolved around art, music, writing songs and poems, as well as designing clothes, and painting pictures. When I got to grade school, I went in another direction as I started playing basketball. I continued playing throughout school and eventually received a scholarship at a division two college where I played and graduated. Once I finished college, I decided I wanted to get back to my first love, art. So I relocated to Austin, the live music capital of the world to refine my live show and pursue my music career, as Moody Bank$. Now Moody Bank$ is one of Austin’s most promising upcoming artists, and my debut EP is out now on all streaming platforms." www.instagram.com/M00dybanks/ https://www.moodybanks.com

 LIZBETH MERIDETH, an author, domestic abuse survivor, speaker and podcaster from Alaska, joined us to discuss her latest release, "Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters". FROM HER WEBSITE "I’m an author, speaker, podcaster, and online teacher. I serve mid-life women recalibrating after crises, and/or women who are (finally) ready to stop falling to the bottom of their own priority list. Limited individual coaching available now, with group coaching to come. What experience do I have? Nearly three decades working as an advocate, investigator, and probation officer means I’ve helped thousands create change. More importantly, I’ve bucked intergenerational patterns of poverty, family violence, and secret-keeping to create the life I live now. I hold a graduate degree in psychology, traveled six of the seven continents (and counting), and am fortunate to have a vibrant community of support. And I did none of this alone." lameredith.com  SHARON BAZANT, a retired teacher and now author living in Vancouver, Births Columbia, visited us to discuss her two books, "Geckos and Guns", about her time in Pakistan; and "Nine Years in Bangkok, a book that discusses her time in Thailand.

At the same time, I have grown a true podcast junkie, bingeing on hours and hours of lectures and debates, with my mind spinning at full steam, racing from religious studies to physics, from politics to anthropology. Synaptic fireworks. I have been constantly triggered by new ideas. One day, after yet another interesting conversation with a colleague, I thought: if only I could share this! If only I could record this conversation and let more people know about this amazing person's story.

INTERVIEW LINK: pod.co/impact-radio-usa/charles-collins-author-5-31-21 From His Website: "A long standing practice observed for centuries in workshops of every type across the world, is the use of the craftsman’s journal by individual craftspeople, and the workshop journal used as a collaborative communication tool for the workshop as a whole, and serving as a reference point or ‘benchmark’ for all craftspeople in the workshop to compare their work, pose questions, share insights, experiences, tool tips and techniques with other practitioners. Following these same traditions and practical structure, Life Masterpiece Journal serves both purposes. It is the Master’s Journal of a single craftsman’s record of life-as-a-craft, and it is a Workshop Journal; a ‘how-to’ reference guide for all who would practice ‘life-as-a-craft’, to make a masterpiece of their life". lifemasterpiecejournal.com  PAUL BLAKE SMITH, an author from Missouri, joined us to tell us about his most recent release, "President Eisenhower's Close Encounters", in which the author explored "A persistent historical question is whether President Dwight Eisenhower in the mid 1950's secretly met with representatives of Alien species and even entered into a formal treaty with them".
