Talking to the animals – Animal Communicator Tim Link
Haven’t you always wondered what your cat is thinking when he gives you the stink eye? Or what’s on your dog’s mind when he keeps whining at a certain corner of the house? Wouldn’t you just like to sit down for a little chat?
Many people have a special bond with animals, but few have the ability to understand the innermost thoughts, feelings and desires of different creatures. Tim Link is that guy… a man blessed with the ability communicate with animals telepathically.
Start making a list of your questions, because the phone lines will be open to talk about your animals this week on the show as we welcome animal communicator Tim Link on A Closer Look with Pam Atherton.
A Closer Look has been on radio for over 10 years.
Hosted by award-winning journalist Pam Atherton, this multi-faceted
interview program has welcomed guests ranging from Willie Nelson
and Cher to Senator Ted Kennedy and former Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright. Other guests have included Emmy award-winning
actors and writers, quantum physicists, doctors, lawyers and the occasional
Indian Chief. (well, Alexie Sherman might not be considered a chief…)
With an eye toward solutions and empowerment…
and with warmth, wit and a comfortable style… Pam brings out the
best in her guests. Whether it’s Gerry Spence talking about how
he almost became the lead attorney for OJ Simpson, or Willie Nelson
on how he quit the radio business, Pam gets the backstory on her guests
and the front story that most interviewers miss.

PBS Barbecue America host Rick Browne cooks with us!
Many years ago when I was a morning show host in the Pacific Northwest, I was sent some information on a guy who wrote a beautiful book about barbecuing. Now many people say there’s no point in doing a show on food over the radio. After all… who can see it? I beg to differ. Over the years we have featured, among others, Stuart Anderson grilling a steak on the show and Len Vohs cooking burgers and veggies on a Wolfgang Puck Grill.
And then there was Rick Browne… giving us the lowdown on barbecue and teaching us a thing or two about grilling… at the launch of his first book at the Barnes and Noble in Vancouver, Washington.
Fast-forward a decade or so, and Rick Browne is now the host of a popular PBS program and the author of several beautiful books on BBQ (and why not? He was a photographer early in his career) and I have the opportunity to interview Rick again for the show. You BET I’m going to jump on it!
I hope you’ll join us – just in time for the Independence Day Holiday - for some great recipes, stories and tips with Rick Browne…this week on A Closer Look with Pam Atherton.

I just got an email from the General Manager of our local mall. She wrote about how her company had gone into Chapter 11, and took 158 other mall properties with it. They are restructuring… but it’s still a tense time. Even though business will continue as usual, she knows that people will be calling, rumors will be started, and her life will get much more stressful.
When the economy is down, stress and worry can cause physical and mental exhaustion. Maintaining your energy in times of stress is crucial because when your energy level goes down, your mood goes with it. Dr. Patricia Gerbarg joins us next week to discuss low-cost, effective methods to improve energy, mood, productivity, and stress-resilience. She will share the best ways to combine herbs, nutrients, and Breath-Body-Mind practices to support yourself, your family, and your friends through challenging times.
An Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychiatry at New York Medical College, Dr. Gerbarg is also the co-author of How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care. A graduate of Harvard Medical School, she has practiced psychiatry in Kingston, NY since 1983.
If you’re finding yourself in the doldrums, worried about the economy or your health, or what to do about a break-up… then we have the RX for you! It’s Elizabeth Powers and Loukoumi the little lamb!
We talk to Nick Katsoris, the author of the Loukoumi children’s book series, about his latest book Loukoumi’s Good Deeds. The book talks about how children can help others and feel good about themselves. ( By the way, the audio book is narrated by Jennifer Aniston, and features the voices of Olympia Dukakis, Guiding Light’s Frank Dicopoulos and American Idol’s Constantine Maroulis. Maybe we’ll play some of it!)
Then Elizabeth Power joins us with her down-home wisdom about getting happier. We can all use a dose of that… and I promise, you’ll get your grin on with this gal!
So join us this Thursday at 1pm PT/4pm ET for A Closer Look and find ways to get happier!

Grief Recovery Expert Russell Friedman talks about overcoming loss in our lives.
Did you know that there are more than 40 events that can create the range of human emotions called grief? For example, death of a loved one [or less than loved one], divorce, estrangements, financial changes and health issues. Those are the big ones that head the list. Whether the loss was recent or long ago, it may still be limiting your ability to participate fully in life.
Russell Friedman, the author of The Grief Recovery Handbook, gives us insight into why it is so important to grieve… why nothing is too insignificant to grieve over… and how grief is a normal and natural emotional reaction to loss. If you, or someone you know, is dealing with a loss of some kind, and wants to retake a productive place in the mainstream of their lives, then this is the interview you cannot miss.
I hope you’ll join us for the discussion. Tune in Thursday at 1pm PT/4pm ET for A Closer Look with Russell Friedman.

SOverSuccess – Why is America so obsessed
with wealth, fame, power & perfection? Jim Rubens guests!
OverSuccess – Why is America so obsessed with wealth, fame, power & perfection?
Why are one in four of us addicted to at least one substance or behavior? Why are 80 percent of women unhappy with their bodies? Why is America drowning in record personal and public debt?
Jim Rubens says it’s an epidemic of status defeat and he says we’re locked into an unwinnable race for success. His book, OverSuccess, draws from emerging science and insights about our transformed social lives and tells us why our genes, commercial culture and global hypercompetition have made us depressed and feeling unfulfilled. It’s our obsession with success and public visibility.
You can bet it will be a lively discussion when we chat next week with this serial entrepreneur and former New Hampshire state senator. I hope you’ll join in. Tune in next Thursday at 1pm PT/4pm ET for A Closer Look with Jim Rubens. Are you OverSuccess?

Selling to Zebras - Good Ideas for ANY Economy! Chad Koser Guests
Just when you think we are starting to turn the corner when it comes to the economy, we find out that AIG has been paying out millions of our tax dollars in bonuses to employees who just took the money and ran.
It would be nice to just rant and rave about it. We're angry, doggone it, and we want things to change!
But to be honest, being angry and stomping our feet won't really do anything for us... or our businesses. We need someone to help us target who our clients are and the best way to capture them. Chad Koser is going to giving us some good, solid info on how to do just that. The co-author of Selling to Zebras, Chad will share ideas with us on how to identify clients who will buy and how to create a philosophy in our work that will change the way we do business.

How Intelligent Choices Will Make You More Successful! – Jim McCormick talks Risk
With the economy being the way it is today, learning to risk is more important than ever. We don’t have the luxury of just waiting things out and hoping for the best. We have to dig down, realize our fears, and work through them.
Yeah. You’re talking to the original Risk-Aversion Queen. Risk? I don’t think so. But Jim McCormick says there’s great power in risking, and great rewards. “The way it is today does not have to be the way it is going to always be for you. Things change.” That’s what Jim says, and I would like to believe him.
So we’re going to grill this 5-time sky-diving world champ about things such as actual risk versus perceived risk, identifying the opportunity, discovering your passions and determining whether your fears and valid or invalid.
This is a show that can make a big difference in your life… whether you’re dealing with love or money, business or pleasure… Jim McCormick will help us move through the fear!
Mark your calendar for Thursday at 1pm PT/4pm ET for a closer look at The Power of Risks with Jim McCormick on A Closer Look with Pam Atherton.

The International Year of Astronomy – Quantum Physicist Mani Bhaumik talks God, the Cosmos and the Excimer Laser
Do you love star-gazing? No, I don’t mean watching the red carpet shows and reading TMZ online. 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy! And our favorite quantum physicist, Dr. Mani Bhaumik, is the Patron of the project. His book, The Cosmic Detective, has been chosen as the official book by the IYA for their year long celebration.
Now lest you think that astronomy and physics are but one step away from Ambien, let me assure you that Dr. Bhaumik is anything BUT boring! Growing up in abject poverty during the independence movement in India, Bhaumik barely survived. As a young man, he served Gandhi. He found his way to America and co-created the Excimer Laser, which has given hundreds of thousands of people new eyesight. He lived the high life and was featured on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. He dated Eva Gabor.
And then one day he woke up and decided there was something more to life. He went on a search for God, through the eyes of a scientist. His book Code Name God became a hit. He went on to become the creator and Executive Producer of a children's animation
series, Cosmic Quantum Ray, which airs on Dish Network's Anamania HD, and teaches and entertains children about science.
And then there’s the Mani Bhaumik Award, for advancing the understanding of the brain and conscious mind in healing, which will be presented at UCLA on March 18th to an esteemed recipient.
Yes, Mani Bhaumik is one-of-a-kind. And you'll fall in love with him, too! Mark your calendar for Thursday at 1pm PT/4pm ET for a closer look at Quantum Physics and Dr. Mani Bhaumik on A Closer Look with Pam Atherton.

Did you ever want to be a writer? How about a video game designer?
Eric Nylund is a New York Times bestselling and World Fantasy Award nominated author of several novels (including HALO: GHOSTS OF ONYX and DRY WATER). MORTAL COILS is his ninth novel, which he will discuss in detail on this week's show.
In addition to being a science fiction and fantasy author, Nylund is also a writer and story consultant for Microsoft Game Studios where he helps develop and maintain blockbuster billion-dollar game franchises such as GEARS OF WAR and HALO.
On the show, we'll talk to Eric about family dynamics, science fiction and fantasy writing and breaking into the video game industry. He'll lay out exactly what you can do to get into the gaming industry - you won't want to miss it!
People say “It’s all in your mind.” Mary T. Browne says… “You're RIGHT!”
You choose your life by choosing your thoughts
What a concept! Mary T. Browne says that people don’t think about their thoughts – where they come from or how they’re created. She says we sometimes don’t understand that our lives, health, finances, love, work, and happiness are completely dependent upon our thoughts and the actions that result from them.
That’s where The 5 Rules of Thought come in. It's Mary's new book about the power of the mind. This week on the show, we’ll talk with Mary about redirecting emotions, about thought vibrations and colors, and toxic words and thoughts and how they affect us. Plus, why chaotic thinking lacks energy and produces thought forms that are not clearly defined.
If you want your life to go in a different direction, if you want more fulfillment, if you want love, better relationships, less chaos in your life, then don’t miss this show with Mary T. Browne! Mark your calendar for this Thursday at 1pm PT/4pm ET for a closer look at The 5 Rules of Thought with Mary T. Browne on A Closer Look with Pam Atherton

All we are saying… is Give Peace a Deadline! Nathan Otto tells us how.
There is a yearning in most of us to have peace in this world. When our sons and daughters are dying in military action… when we hear of the deaths of civilians in countries at war… when children are turned into soldiers and women are raped and killed in the name of revolution…our hearts cry out for peace.
In the sixties, we marched. Hundreds of thousands of us marched on campuses, at the capitol, in the hot sun and in the rain. Remember this line from the Buffalo Springfield song For What It’s Worth… “What a field day for the heat… a thousand people in the street… singing songs and carrying signs”… (watch a great YouTube video of the song here) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fufkDpR40g4
We tried. But despite our best efforts, the world wasn’t willing to Give Peace a Chance. (see video of the Montreal Bed-In with John Lennon and friends) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-NRriHlLUk
Nathan Otto says that enough is enough. If we really want peace, we need to treat that goal as we would a business goal. There has to be a plan and results that can be measured. That’s why he and co-author Amber Lupton started a movement: P5Y. Peace in 5 years. Check out the website: www.P5Y.org The kick-off for the peace deadline movement was February 14th of this year. This week we’ll talk with Nathan and find out why he decided to create this deadline, what plans he has to move it forward, and what we can do to help make peace a reality.
Please join us for this important show. Mark your calendar for this Thursday at 1pm PT/4pm ET for a closer look at Giving Peace a Deadline with Nathan Otto on A Closer Look with Pam Atherton.

Abraham Lincoln's 200th Birthday!
It seems there’s a celebration just about everywhere for the 200th birthday of our 16th President. So we’re going to celebrate, too, on A Closer Look! We’ve gathered two of the foremost scholars on Lincoln and on the Civil War to be our guests on the show.
Dr. Don Elder has written three books about the civil war and is often brought in to analyze and critique books written about that time period. A professor of history at Eastern New Mexico University, Doc will explain why we really got into the Civil War, what kind of a president Lincoln was, and how we don’t seem to learn from history.
James L. Swanson shares Lincoln’s birthday and became obsessed with the President at the age of 10. He has one of the largest collections of Lincoln memorabilia and is the author of the New York Times bestseller, “Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer.” Swanson will share with us the inside story to Lincoln’s assassination. Did you know it was a conspiracy? And that originally Lincoln was only supposed to be kidnapped? Swanson is full of fascinating tidbits of history and introduces us to some of the most colorful characters in American history.

Ken Price of The Palmer House Hotel
I’ve always called February the “Love Month” because Valentine’s Day is smack in the middle, and the whole month is recognized as American Heart Month. And what better thing to do than have a show on which you talk about something, and someone, you love.
Chicago is one of my greatest loves. It is a city of art and culture and history and fabulous events and people. And the home of the historic and breathtaking Palmer House Hotel. There are many fine hotels in Chicago, but I believe that the Palmer House is the finest. I make that distinction because of the people who work there. They are courteous, attentive, upbeat and genuinely helpful. Hospitality at its finest.
One of my favorite people in the whole world is Ken Price. He is the Director of Public Relations at the Palmer House and quite a dashing and debonair fellow. With a great love of cabaret music, a keen knowledge of history, and a gallant manner that charms everyone he meets, Ken is a fascinating storyteller and a generous host.
We spent some time at the Palmer House recently and chatted with Ken about the $170 million restoration/renovation of the hotel, and about Bertha Palmer, the intriguing wife of hotel builder Potter Palmer. Bertha was a pioneer in women’s rights, and the arts patron who brought the works of Monet, Degas and other impressionist artists to America.

Natural Ways to Handle Emotional and Mental Challenges
Sometimes it’s frustrating when you, or someone you know, are dealing with stress or trauma and the doctor says you can either take a pill or just find a way to live with it. Dr. Richard Brown believes there are other alternatives… and he should know! An Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University, Dr. Brown consults and designs research and advises PhD candidates on projects involving mind-body-spirit practices for stress, trauma, military service, mass disasters, cancer, HIV, and other illnesses.
An expert in herbal medicine and one of the first to come out and suggest SAM-e for depression, Dr. Brown also went 8000 feet up a mountain in Russia to sample the wild Rhodiola plant, the basis of his book The Rhodiola Revolution. A fan of CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine,) Dr. Brown has over 200 speaking engagements on the subject every year and provides free courses for Ground Zero workers and survivors of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. He’ll be on the show next week to give us insight into natural ways of dealing with mental and emotional problems.
If you want preview of Dr. Brown and some of the subjects we’ll cover, check out these websites: www.STWS.org and www.HaveHealthyMind.com. You’ll also find information about his newest book: How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care. In it he covers integrative approaches for the treatment of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, cognitive and memory impairments, Attention Deficit Disorder, sexual dysfunction, medical illnesses, schizophrenia, and substance abuse. There’s no way we will be able to cover all that ground… but you know we’re gonna try! Hope you’ll join us next week on A Closer Look when we talk with Psychiatrist Dr. Richard Brown. Please consider being part of the conversation. With such a great resource at our fingertips, why not let Dr. Brown answer some questions for YOU?

For a lot of people it’s the second scenario, which accounts for much of the stress during the holiday season. But how can the holidays be less stressful and even downright fun? Manners and patience. That's why we've invited Barbara Ross, founder of a publishing company dedicated to educating the world in manners.
On the second half of the show, with advice on how to deal with churlish children and rude relatives, Dr. Susan will help us prepare for what should be the happiest time of the year.

Georgia Durante
You know how it is… sometimes you meet someone and you just know they are special. That’s how I felt about Georgia Durante. She had just finished writing her book, The Company She Keeps, about ten years ago and I snagged her for an interview. We immediately connected and the interview has remained one of my favorites.
Throughout the years I have interviewed Georgia many more times. She even came to this part of New Mexico to talk about domestic violence. She talked to women in shelters, kids at alternative schools, men and women at the Air Force Base. She connected to so many with her story. And her story is a dramatic one to tell: One of rape, violence, fear… and finally success and joy.
I hope you’ll make time on Thursday to tune in and hear Georgia’s story. Her book has just been brought back out in paperback and it’s a roller coaster of a read. The best part of interviewing Georgia, I think, is the fact that women will email and write after the show, talking about how the story connected with them and how inspirational Georgia is.

Walter T. Shaw
Considered the world's most notorious jewel thief
Walter T. Shaw is considered the world’s most notorious (former) jewel thief. His long-awaited memoir, A License To Stealm, chronicles the saga of his father, probably one of the most important inventors of our time, who was ripped off by corporate America and the mafia, and how this drove Walter himself to become one of the country’s most famous jewel thieves, having taken an estimated $70 million from the rich and famous from Long Island to Florida. In the forward by Frank Vincent (Phil Leotardo in The Sopranos) writes, “Full of love, fear, violence, hate and the quest for redemption, this book is an unbelievable journey through life.”
A License To Steal, Shaw Jr. maintains that it should have been his father who became famous. Although Shaw Sr. died penniless, he invented and patented several telephonic breakthroughs including the speakerphone, conference calling, call-forwarding and even the “Red Phone” used by the Eisenhower White House to contact the Kremlin. However, as a systems engineer for Bell, the most powerful monopoly of that time, he was stopped from marketing his inventions.
Walter’s revenge on the rich and famous soon began
