Be Bold America!
“Just wanted to follow up to say thank you for inviting me onto your program, and to share with you what a pleasure it was. I’ve done a lot of radio, and I don’t know that I’ve had a more substantive and interesting conversation. You are great at what you do; you made it easy to be a guest.”
– Mike Stark, Investigative Reporter
“Your interview/podcast is the best one I have done, and I want a lot of people to hear it.”
– Dr. Warren Hern, author, Homo Ecophagus: A Deep Diagnosis to Save the Earth
We have a crisis in politics that can’t be ignored. But! We have a crisis in acceptable character and principle-centered living that can’t be ignored either. Living a bold, principle-centered life? “Be Bold America!” Is a live talk show that imagines an America with ethical principles and functional systems. We can be a country with engaged citizens whose lives are politically active and personally meaningful. A bold democratic America first requires informed, principle-centered citizens. On “Be Bold America!” cohosts will set up topics, interview guests, and conclude with reviewing the Keep/Stop/Starts: practical principles and tools to enhance the listeners personal and political life. Every other Sunday at 5:00pm!

“Be Bold America!” is a live, talk show, on KSQD 90.7FM, for those who are motivated to step out with the actions necessary to begin reuniting this country and saving our democracy.
Given the challenges ahead, we’ll need to be our own superheroes, individually and collectively, becoming super-citizens who are fearless, daring, and bold. Our future depends on it.
We were proud to be that “beacon on the hill”, now, like climate change, Democracy has become a partisan issue. When and why did that happen?
On “Be Bold America!” we’ll not only talk about issues, we’ll identify actions, and solutions. Experts will tell us what we must Keep doing, Stop doing, and Start doing to recapture our democracy.
Join me, my community guests and topic experts to explore issues and to identify constructive and compelling actions on “Be Bold America!” Sundays at 5 PM, biweekly, on KSQD 90.7 FM.
We have big things to do.
