All The Way Live with Beverly Medley

Divine Order, a Lost Pocketbook, and the Practice of Presence and Non-Judgment

Beverly Medley hosts a solo hour of All The Way Live, reflecting on divine order, karma, and the belief that everyone is exactly where they are meant to be, and shares a personal story about a lost pocketbook returned by a stranger at a thrift store.

A Show That Opens With Gratitude
Beverly Medley opens the broadcast still glowing from a conversation she just had with two of the station's owners. She tells listeners she has never met them in person but feels their warmth and calm every time they speak, and she marvels that people who have lived through hardship can still radiate so much love. That feeling launches her into the hour's central idea: everything on this planet is organized, and every person is always exactly where they are supposed to be, whether or not they like the outcome. She tells the audience that nothing happens by accident or bad luck, that people are simply the common denominator in their own lives, and that asking sincerely for guidance brings answers when a person is ready to receive them. The tone is warm and unhurried, setting up a solo hour built entirely around her own reflections rather than scripted topics or a booked guest.

Divine Order and the Weight of Judgment
Beverly develops the idea that every person carries a story, and that recognizing this makes blame nearly impossible. Parents, exes, teachers, and strangers are all people someone was destined to encounter, she says, however painful the relationship turned out to be. She tells listeners not to be quick to judge a father who left or a partner who hurt them, because that person's own past life and choices shaped who they became. She urges going within to what she calls the all-seeing eye rather than trusting only the physical eyes, so that a person can pause before reacting instead of speaking from raw emotion. She adds that everyone eventually receives exactly what they deserve, so listeners do not need to worry about seeing others punished or rewarded. She compares this order to the reliability of sunrise, sunset, and the changing seasons, arguing that human life follows the same precise, unshakable design even when it feels unfair.

Shedding Meat, Sugar, and Old Habits
Beverly turns to her own history, recalling how she gave up meat, sugar, cigarettes, and alcohol despite knowing almost no one who lived that way at the time. She says she needed to get rid of all the dead animals in her body and clear the sugar from her veins before she could truly see clearly, and once she did, everything in her life shifted. None of her four siblings or her parents shared any interest in that path, yet she frames the difference as simply the situation she was born into rather than a mystery to solve. She describes feeling grateful rather than curious about why she alone changed direction, saying the transformation flushed away years of what she calls yucky filth. The story becomes another example of her larger theme: her body's cleanse was preparation for a deeper mental and spiritual cleanse that continues to shape how she carries herself today.

The Thrift Store and the Returned Pocketbook
Beverly tells a long, detailed story about a recent trip to a thrift store, a favorite habit from childhood when her father used to bring home secondhand clothes. While deep in conversation with a family member, she leaves her cart, and with it her pocketbook holding a large sum of cash and every card she owns, unattended among fifty or sixty shoppers. Panicked, she checks her car, finds nothing, then asks a young clerk if anyone turned in a bag. A woman had handed it in minutes earlier without asking for a reward or having it announced over the loudspeaker, and left before Beverly could thank her. Beverly reads the moment as proof that everything is synchronized and mathematical, crediting what she calls an Underground Soul Network for placing the right stranger at the right place at the right time. She says the episode is one of several similar experiences she has had after asking, in her words, to always be protected.

Marriage, Support, and Building a Restaurant
Beverly reflects on her thirty-year marriage, explaining that she and her husband ate and lived identically until she changed her diet seven years in. He never adopted the new lifestyle himself but never criticized her either, and she continued cooking his meals while raising their two children on her own eating principles. She calls his quiet support unusual for their circle at the time and credits it as part of her larger karmic story. The couple watched their children thrive, which eased any doubts he had. From that foundation she describes starting a restaurant with her daughter in 2008 with no prior experience in the business, a venture she says continues successfully today. She frames the restaurant, also called All The Way Live, as an extension of the same lifelong cleanse and transformation she has been describing, something she feels she is meant to do in this lifetime regardless of how demanding the work can be.

Closing Lessons on Judgment and Gratitude
Nearing the end of the hour, Beverly recalls a moment when her children, then roughly eight and twelve, watched a news report about two young women who died fleeing police after a theft and declared that the victims deserved it. She corrected them gently, admitting she had stolen things herself when younger, and urged her children not to judge quickly because everyone carries a story, including people society condemns. She warns listeners that much of what feels like clear moral judgment is really inherited indoctrination rather than a person's own examined belief, and encourages going within to test what one actually thinks. She closes the broadcast expressing gratitude for the hour and for her listeners, describing love not as sentimentality but as a quiet inner peace toward life and other people. Beverly mentions needing to return to the restaurant, which opens the next day, and signs off until next week's show plays the program's closing musical performance.

The Sports Doctor with Dr Robert Weil

Menopause Research, Nutrition, and Decades of Volleyball Excellence with Andrea Donsky and Troy Gilb

Dr. Bob Weil hosts a doubleheader, talking new menopause research and nutrition with author Andrea Donsky, then digging into decades of championship youth volleyball and injury prevention with Great Lakes Volleyball's Troy Gilb.

A Doubleheader Opens The Show
Dr. Bob Weil opens live from Chicago with his usual sponsor rundown, thanking Global Schoolwear, Lower Extremity Review magazine, Bryan Therapeutics, and UK Health Radio, before promising listeners a doubleheader. He introduces Andrea Donsky as a women's health researcher, nutritionist, author, and menopause expert, and previews his second guest, Troy Gilb, owner and director of Great Lakes Volleyball's Sports Performance program, recalling that his own history with the club goes back decades to its earliest days. Weil frames the hour around his long-running interest in the mental side of sports and wellness, noting that a colleague once asked him why the word "men" appears inside "menopause," a question he says he plans to put to Donsky. Welcoming her to the show, Weil asks for background on her nutrition career and her personal path toward specializing in menopause, setting up the conversation that follows.

Donsky's Own Menopause Awakening
Andrea Donsky tells Weil she has worked in health and wellness for twenty-six years, and that about seventeen years into her career she experienced her first hot flash at age forty-seven, only recently connecting years of unexplained postpartum symptoms after her third child to perimenopause. She says the surprise stunned her, since she had spent her career educating others about nutrition and the body. Weil draws a parallel to how long nutrition and obesity went underexamined in sports medicine. Donsky describes research she has had published in the journal Menopause, including a 2024 abstract identifying more than 103 distinct menopause symptoms, far beyond the thirty-four commonly cited. She notes that nine of the ten most frequently reported symptoms are mental health and brain related, a finding Weil calls a validation of what he has called "the mental game" for decades. Both agree cognitive and emotional symptoms remain underdiscussed compared with hot flashes and night sweats.

Nutrition, Nourishing Menopause, And Balance
Donsky explains that her new book, Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best, published by Simon & Schuster, devotes its eleventh chapter to nutrition and introduces what she calls the BALANCE Blueprint, an acronym guiding women to balance blood sugar, add fiber, load up on protein, add quality fats like omega-3s, nurture digestion, choose more plants, and ensure hydration. She lists the five most common menopause symptoms from her research: fatigue and exhaustion, reported by more than seventy-two percent of women, followed by brain fog, sleep issues, memory issues, and anxiety. Weil connects nutrition, rest, and visualization to his own decades of coaching athletes, recalling figure skaters who practiced visualization when the technique was dismissed as "voodoo." Donsky agrees, describing how she now uses visualization with her own daughter, a basketball player. She closes by directing listeners to wearemorphus.com and nourishingmenopausebook.com and to her TikTok account for more information.

Troy Gilb And Volleyball's Deep Roots
After a break for his own book, #HeySportsParents, and sponsor messages, Weil welcomes Troy Gilb, owner and director of Great Lakes Volleyball's Sports Performance program. Gilb recalls arriving in 2007 after years bringing setters from Nebraska to train, eventually buying the company in 2022 from founders Rick Butler and Cheryl. Weil reminisces about the club's origins around 1980 with the late strength coach Bob Gaida, whose instability and balance training and attention to feet and ankles shaped the program's philosophy, and about athletic trainer Jimmy Spinazzola's recent return after years with professional soccer. Weil, a sports podiatrist, notes that forty to fifty percent of the volleyball players he has treated over the years have had knee trouble, tying foot mechanics to jumping performance. He recalls building orthotics for a young Danny O'Shea, now an Olympic pairs figure-skating gold medalist, as an example of how proper foot support can carry an athlete's career for decades.

Inside Today's Sports Performance Program
Gilb describes the scale of the operation today: about five hundred athletes in the competitive Sports Performance program, another five hundred in youth academy and seasonal programs, and roughly seventeen hundred kids nationwide in summer camps last year. He says the program now runs from pre-kindergarten through high school seniors, with a near-total rate of graduates continuing on to college volleyball, and credits staff including strength coach John Hugunin and director Seth Salmon. Discussing overuse injuries, Gilb explains that the club structures its three weekly practices to limit jumping early in the week and scales back further after tournaments played on hard courts. Weil praises the approach as consistent with decades-old safety principles from Gaida and Rick Butler, while noting the broader epidemic of early sports specialization. Gilb adds that the club still bars nail polish, encourages athletes to also play for their high schools, and has watched the girls' side of the sport grow noticeably more explosive and athletic in recent years.

Diabetes Awareness And Closing Notes
With time running short, Weil moves into his regular "Sports Doctor Is In" segment, previewing coming guests including sports pharmacist Jessica Bielstal, Everest climber Sean Swarner, former major-league player Ryan Roberts, and speaker Rebecca Whitman. He highlights his consulting work with LEAP, Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention, founded by his former medical-school professor Dr. Larry Rubin, describing rising rates of juvenile type 2 diabetes tied to diet and inactivity. Weil then discusses US Open tennis champion Alexander Zverev, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age four, and recalls former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler's own type 1 diagnosis, framing both as proof that an early diagnosis need not limit an athlete's future. He answers a listener email asking about orthotics in skating, telling "Mary" that proper alignment matters across figure skating, hockey, and speed skating alike. Weil closes by directing listeners to the show's archive and thanking BBS Radio before signing off.

Brother Jim Shaw Ministries

Get Behind Me, Satan: Resisting False Idols and the Cares of This World

Brother Jim Shaw preaches on Jesus's wilderness temptation in Luke 4, warning that comforts, riches, and everyday cares of family and money can quietly become idols that choke out the Word of God, and he urges listeners to take the narrow road to Christ.

Deception, Comfort, and the Only Way to God
Brother Jim Shaw opens the broadcast by turning to Jesus's repeated warning in Matthew 24 not to be deceived, noting that if Christ warns believers so many times, deception must pose a real danger. He says people are often deceived through comforts, which can quietly become gods in their own right. Brother Jim states plainly that there is only one way to the Father, through the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ, who suffered, died on a cross, and rose again as the Lamb of God, the extreme sacrifice. Outside of that, he says, the world is run by devils who tempt people into sin and prey on the soul and the spirit. He lists hatred, misused sexuality, bitterness, unforgiveness, revenge, and idol worship as struggles common to all people, insisting that Christ alone offers freedom from them, not any other religion or belief system.

The Wilderness Temptation in Luke 4
Brother Jim Shaw turns to Luke 4 and the second stage of Jesus's wilderness temptation, when Satan meets him directly after the Holy Spirit has led him into the desert. He describes how the devil takes Jesus to a high mountain and shows him all the kingdoms of the world in a single moment of time, each kingdom carrying its own riches, women, parties, and reputation. Brother Jim quotes the devil's offer: all authority and glory over these kingdoms would be given to Jesus if only he would worship Satan, since that authority had been delivered to the devil to give to whomever he chooses. He reminds listeners that Jesus was fully man, conceived by the Holy Ghost yet born of a woman under the law, and so was tempted exactly as any person is tempted. Unlike his listeners, though, Brother Jim notes, Jesus also carried the unique power to forgive sins.

Idols Hidden in Everyday Blessings
Brother Jim Shaw applies the temptation account to daily life, warning that people can turn almost anything into an idol: reputation, education, the medical community, women, partying, cars, houses, or a paycheck. Because Satan claims authority to hand these things to whomever he wishes, Brother Jim urges listeners to make sure that any blessing in their life truly comes from the Lord Jesus Christ rather than assuming a comfort or an addition to their life is automatically a blessing. He says the only real blessing is the revelation that Jesus died on the cross for sin and that believers have been reborn as new creations, with old things passed away and all things made new. Brother Jim describes the human body as a rental unit and a temple in which the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost dwell, urging listeners to accept that they will die and to hold onto that simple truth of Christ.

Get Behind Me, Satan
Brother Jim Shaw reads Jesus's answer to the devil: 'Get behind me, Satan, for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.' He frames this as Jesus confronting Satan directly, refusing to worship a defeated king over kingdoms destined to turn to dust. Brother Jim then turns the lesson toward his listeners, confessing how easily people set goals and visions in front of themselves, quietly reasoning that enough money would bring them what they want. He prays aloud for mercy on this tendency and warns that Satan often works by blurring vision with things rather than outright rebellion. He introduces Mark chapter 4 as the next warning, describing how the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things can enter a person's life and choke out the word of God that lives within them.

Cares of This World, Family, and Money
Brother Jim Shaw explains that the cares of this world named in Mark 4:19 can include ordinary things such as concern for children, parents, or a spouse, and he stresses that caring for family is right unless that care begins to rule a person's life above Christ. He argues that the best gift for a family is a parent or spouse who is fully sold out to Jesus, someone who recognizes every breath as a gift from God and has been born from above rather than shaped only by upbringing, education, or church attendance. Turning to money, Brother Jim calls it the closest worldly substitute for the Holy Spirit, capable of imitating peace, joy, comfort, and contentment until death forces a reckoning with eternity. He reminds listeners that life is a vapor and a blade of grass that will pass away, urging them to renew their minds with that truth, raise the shield of faith, and resist slowly conforming to the world's values.

Bearing Fruit on the Narrow Road
Brother Jim Shaw warns that when the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word of God, the result is an unfruitful life, one that fails to produce the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control. Without that fruit, he says, bitterness, revenge, envy, and lust take its place instead. He describes the Christian life as a war and a continual trial, comparing it to how the Lord tested his people in the Old Testament and insisting that no believer can escape being tested. Brother Jim pictures this testing as a fork in the road, one path wide and easy, the other narrow, and urges listeners repeatedly to take the narrow road toward Jesus rather than the world's wide path. He closes the broadcast by calling listeners to accept Jesus Christ, live through him, and let him fight their battles, ending with a blessing and amen.

Tony Alamo

How To Have God's Life Living In You Part 161: 144,000 Sealed Jews and Revelation's Trumpet Judgments

Tony Alamo devotes program 263, part 161 of his teaching series, to Revelation chapters seven through nine, describing a multi-city newspaper campaign aimed at reaching 144,000 Jews before what he says are the earth's coming plagues.

Opening Prayer and Program Introduction
Tony Alamo opens the broadcast directly, identifying himself as world pastor and naming the program number two hundred sixty-three, part one hundred sixty-one of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You. He tells listeners a free copy on tape or CD is available, postage included, and that the day's message comes from the seventh chapter of Revelation, which he says the Lord has given him a strong new revelation about. Alamo leads an opening prayer asking for the Holy Spirit's fire and power to fall on the broadcast, thanking God for a vision of winning 144,000 Jews before the earth's great plagues begin, and asking that listeners' ears, hearts, minds and souls be opened to receive the message and be saved. He asks for the church to be given more power, wisdom and zeal, closes in Jesus' name, and an unidentified woman in the studio answers with an audible amen.

A Recorded Hymn and a Call to Educate
With the prayer finished, Tony Alamo introduces a recording of his own performance of Exodus, arranged by Joe Leahy with his orchestra and choir, words written by Pat Boone, explaining that the song's promise was never given to anyone but the Jews and still stands because God's word never changes. After the music plays, he tells listeners he feels sad for people who never read the Bible or who read it without receiving it into their hearts, criticizing television preachers who claim God's blessing means cars and material things rather than the call to be soul winners for the bride of Christ. He says the broadcast is for education, not entertainment, that listeners who cannot go into the world themselves should support those who do, and that he has never cared about being liked, only about doing what the Lord tells him, adding that longtime associates who doubt he is of the Lord know better and are, in his words, devils.

Letters From Chile, India, and Nicaragua
Tony Alamo turns to a co-host he addresses first as Libby and later as Sharon, a discrepancy left unresolved in the recording, asking her to read listener mail before the day's teaching begins. She reads a letter from Rodolfo in Concepción, Chile, thanking the ministry for literature that has produced sincere testimonies of transformed lives across Latin America and asking that the mailings continue. A second letter comes from Benajari in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, India, describing his home as a distribution point for the ministry's newsletters and requesting CDs, Bibles, tapes and t-shirts in large and extra-large sizes. A third letter, from Pastor Silvio in Managua, Nicaragua, says he received Alamo's audio messages and now distributes them among personnel in the Nicaraguan army and government, and asks for a taped copy of Alamo's personal testimony to broadcast on his own radio program. Alamo thanks the letter writers, reminding listeners the ministry belongs to the Lord rather than to him personally.

A Newspaper Crusade To Reach 144,000 Jews
Alamo describes a strategy he says the Lord gave him: using ministry funds to buy full-page gospel advertisements, built from his own literature such as his personal testimony, Difficult Mountains, Mass Suicide, and his late wife Susie's writing, in major newspapers including the Tulsa World, the Oklahoman, the Arkansas Democrat, the New York Daily News, the San Diego Union, the Texarkana Gazette, the Long Island Press, and papers across Montana. He focuses on the New York Daily News, noting the city's large Jewish population and claiming a single full page has cost thirty-six or thirty-seven thousand dollars, with more than one hundred thousand dollars spent over three weeks, and that phone lines at the ministry's Fort Smith and Los Angeles offices have been ringing constantly. He says he altered some content to get past editors he believes fear angering the Vatican, and instructs street witnesses to carry tear sheets from the papers to show Jewish readers the ministry has been published nationally, hoping to move them to request his booklet The Messiah.

Reading Revelation Chapters Seven and Eight
Turning to scripture, Alamo has the unidentified woman reading for him work through Revelation chapter seven, four angels holding back the four winds until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads, followed by the sealing of twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes and a vision of a great multitude in white robes before the throne who have come out of great tribulation. Alamo insists there is no rapture before that tribulation, warning that lukewarm churchgoers expecting only blessings, not trials, will be disappointed. Moving to chapter eight, the reading covers the seventh seal's half hour of silence, which Alamo compares to the stillness before a tornado, followed by the first four trumpet judgments: hail and fire burning a third of the trees and all green grass, a burning mountain turning a third of the sea to blood and killing sea creatures and ships, the star Wormwood poisoning a third of earth's fresh waters, and a third of the sun, moon and stars darkened, all of which Alamo insists must wait until the 144,000 are saved.

Chapter Nine's Locusts and a Salvation Prayer
The reading continues into chapter nine, the fifth angel loosing locusts from the bottomless pit with power like scorpions to torment, but not kill, those without God's seal for five months, ruled by the angel Abaddon, also called Apollyon, and the sixth angel releasing four angels bound at the river Euphrates to kill a third of mankind. Alamo connects the torment to judges, prosecutors and abusive spouses he believes will reap what they sowed, and points to earthquakes, tsunamis and the destruction he describes in New Orleans as earlier warnings of the disasters ahead. Noting he has now covered five of Revelation's twenty-two chapters, Alamo leads listeners in a spoken salvation prayer confessing belief in Jesus as the Son of God who died, rose, and can wash away sin, assuring anyone who prayed along that they are saved. Sharon closes with the ministry's website, Texarkana, Texas post office box, and phone and fax numbers for a free copy of program 263, and Alamo signs off performing Israel's national anthem, Hatikvah.

Sasha Talks with Sasha Laghonh

Around the World in More Than 80 Days: Faith, Freedom, and Global Perspective with Larry Alex Taunton

Author and cultural commentator Larry Alex Taunton joins Sasha Laghonh to talk about his book Around the World in More Than 80 Days, sharing stories from Nigeria to China and warning about growing threats to free speech in America.

A Book Sparked By Colin Kaepernick
Sasha Laghonh opens the show by introducing Larry Alex Taunton, the American author, columnist and cultural commentator known for appearances on CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera America and the BBC, and for previous books including The Grace Effect and The Faith of Christopher Hitchens. She welcomes him to talk about his newest work, Around the World in More Than 80 Days, and asks how long the project took to complete. Taunton explains that three years of research and travel preceded roughly eight months of actual writing. Asked what prompted him to test whether America still deserves its reputation for greatness, he points to Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback whose kneeling protests and alliance with Nike struck Taunton as symptomatic of a generation ignorant of both its own opportunities and the realities of life elsewhere. He set out, he tells Sasha, to demonstrate both points at once.

Mapping A Global Itinerary
Sasha asks whether Taunton planned his route or improvised as he assessed each country's climate. He describes a carefully constructed itinerary built around a short list of nations that could plausibly compete for the title of world's greatest country, alongside former Marxist states and African nations grappling with the spread of Islam, chosen to give readers a fuller picture of how most of the world actually lives under some form of authoritarian rule. The project, he says, visited 35 countries in all, though eight were left out of the final book to keep it readable, with 26 countries making the cut. He credits Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days as inspiration for the adventure format, noting that his team used the same variety of transportation Phileas Fogg once did. The result, he says, is meant to entertain while quietly educating readers about the wider world beyond America's borders.

Surprises, Middle Class, And Traveling Sons
Despite having already visited roughly 40 countries before this trip, Taunton tells Sasha he still encountered surprises, discovering that Donald Trump carries real popularity in non-Islamic parts of Africa and that Americans are unexpectedly well liked in Vietnam. He insists the book is not a blanket celebration of the United States, since the journey also revealed things worth admiring elsewhere. Sasha asks about the American middle class compared with its counterparts abroad, and Taunton argues it remains better off, though he warns that could erode under different tax and economic policy. Two of his three sons, Christopher and Zachary, joined him for portions of the trip, though he kept them away from the most dangerous stops. Zachary documented the journey in video blogs for his own generation, and Taunton says both sons, already well traveled and loving of their country, came home with a deepened appreciation for the United States.

Danger In Nigeria And A Denied Visa
The conversation turns to risk, and Taunton recounts traveling to Nigeria at the invitation of a bishop to document Christian persecution, citing a figure of roughly 100,000 Christians killed globally each year, mostly by Muslims. He describes being driven six hours through territory patrolled by Fulani herdsmen militia, hidden in a darkened Toyota Sequoia, and visiting villages where families had been murdered or enslaved. He declined an offer of armed security, reasoning it would make him a bigger target, and instead relied on blending in and following local advice, noting that even a concealed handgun would be useless against the AK-47s common in such regions. Sasha asks about visa troubles tied to his profession, and Taunton reveals China denied him entry after he refused to sign a pledge not to write anything negative about the country, though he had already visited Hong Kong seven times during the trip.

Warnings About Censorship And The First Amendment
Asked whether the First Amendment is being abused, Taunton says he sees Chinese-style censorship taking hold in America, pointing to social media platforms shutting down accounts belonging to the sitting president, his press secretary, and The New York Post. He argues Americans have historically been trusted to weigh distasteful or sensational speech for themselves, and that ceding that judgment to tech companies is dangerous. Pressed on where the First Amendment stands in five years, he predicts the United States is drifting toward the restricted speech norms of Britain, France and Germany, and warns the Second Amendment could face similar erosion if Joe Biden is elected. He places responsibility on a culture that abandoned real dialogue in favor of silencing disagreement, cautioning listeners who cheer today's censorship that the same tools will eventually be turned on them. He also laments widespread ignorance among young Americans about the history and human cost of Marxism.

Debates, Future Books, And Where To Find Him
Sasha asks about Taunton's history of public debate through his nonprofit, Fixed Point Foundation, which pitted him and colleagues like John Lennox and Dinesh D'Souza against atheists including Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Michael Shermer. He says he now hopes to challenge media figures pushing Marxist ideas, questioning whether they are ignorant of history or simply indifferent to it. Looking ahead, he mentions a novel in progress and early notes toward a dual biography of Karl Marx and the London preacher Charles Spurgeon, contemporaries who never met but competed for the same souls. He advises aspiring writers to skip journalism school, and shares that his adopted daughter's Ukrainian passport once got her turned away in Paris despite his own American passport working fine. Sasha closes by asking listeners to find him at larryalextaunton.com and to seek out Around the World in More Than 80 Days at major retailers.
