This week on the show…we rewind. Hey you know you don’t listen every week (but you wish you could) so here’s your chance to catch something you might have missed. Enjoy our show.
Casey and Dan talk with a delightful woman named Judith Stark Frost. Judith was a second grade school teacher for 30 years.

And author and sex addiction therapist George N. Collins is with us. What we think we know about sex addiction is …well…not particularly helpful or accurate. Mr. Collins has written a book, Breaking the Cycle, Free Yourself from Sex Addiction, Porn Obsession, and Shame and developed some techniques to help turn the energy of negative compulsions into positive life changes.
Nurses provided a spark with the Main Street Contract campaign to tax Wall Street that is now catching on fire across the nation. Now, we are thrilled to see thousands more in the streets, with the heroic Occupy Wall Street campaign encamped in New York […]
