Once again, members of the Omaha Roller Girls join me in the studio to talk about how their season has come along as well as how the Omaha Junior Roller Girls are shaping up! About the ORG The Omaha Rollergirls are Omaha’s premier all-female flat-track roller derby league. Roller derby is the fastest growing sport in the world and the Omaha Rollergirls are proud to represent Omaha. Its mission is to promote the strength, athleticism, and independence of women through the sport of flat-track roller derby and to provide the skills and training necessary for participation at regional, national, and international level. Consisting of a diverse group of athletes, the ORG is comprised of two teams – the All-Stars, a seasoned travel team that represents our league in national and regional circuits, and the AAA, our home team that competes within the Midwest. The Omaha Rollergirls operate as a LLC and are skater owned. The organization is entirely run through volunteers – no one receives monetary compensation – this includes the skaters themselves, those who train/coach the girls, the officials who enforce the rules and the board of directors that run the organization. When the ORG is not on the track, they are assisting in various ways through their community involvement and volunteer work with organizations such as Youth Emergency Services, Heartland Pride, the American Cancer Society and the Special Olympics. |

In this episode I welcome Flashbulb Fires from Denver CO. They stopped over for a gig with Arrah and the Ferns at the Barley St. Tavern here in Omaha and took some time to freshen up and be guests on the show. They were a truly great interview fun people, and even brought beer. I chat with the band and play a few songs off the new album. We had a great time and as you will see, it gets a little weird. |

Local Omaha Joe Broghammer joins me in the studio to talk about his art. Thing is, we never get to the art talk. I was 2 martinis in working on a 3rd with Joe casually sipping on a couple beers. We start talking about aliens, spirits, bigfoot, and other paranormal stuff and the entire podcast is basically us debating everything. Joe claims not to believe in any of it, and I of course believe in it all. So it makes for an interesting listen. Regardless, check out one of my favorite Omaha artists here: Joe Broghammer online Joe Broghammer obtained a B.F.A. from the University of South Dakota, Vermillion. He also completed graduate work at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He has exhibited his work in more than forty group shows and has had solo exhibitions throughout the Midwest and beyond. His work is a part of museums, public and private collections. Joe recently won the Best of Show at the OEA Visual Awards Ceremony in December 2006 at the Bemis Underground. |

In this episode I am joined by Dean Bernardini, the bass player for Chevelle. We talk about the new record Hats Off To The Bull and how the current tour is doing. We also talk about how he got into the band, how they have been recording, and what it's like transitioning from being a drummer to a bass player. Bio: Chevelle is an American alternative metal trio that formed in 1995 in Grayslake, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The band was originally composed of two brothers and a local friend: Pete Loeffler (lead vocals/guitar), Sam Loeffler (drums/percussion), and Matt Scott (bass/backing vocals). Matt was later replaced by brother Joe Loeffler. When Joe left the band in 2005, Geno Lenardo subbed-in as the bassist until he was replaced by Pete and Sam's brother-in-law, Dean Bernardini.

This is the second part of my interview with Kelli Miller. At this part of the interview, Kelli gives me a reading using her abilities and tarot cards. I've had tarot readings before and Laurie used to do a tarot reading at the beginning of the each year when we were looking to make goals for the future. I've rarely had a reading given to be by a true psychic with abilities like Kelli and was a bit reserved about it at first. After talking with her as long as I did, it felt quite natural and exciting. I came away with a sense of inspiration, happiness, and peace of mind. This interview took place a while back, so it was nice to be able to follow up with the audience about what happened in the weeks following the reading. |

In this 2-part episode I am joined by Psychic Medium Kelli Miller. Kelli shares with us her story on how she discovered and subsequently repressed her abilties. Then how she later as an adult tapped into them again and now helps others with their life path and puts them in touch with passed loved ones. Kelli talks about her experiences with the afterlife, lets me know of a couple of spirits that stopped by, and then in episode 2, does a reading on me. About Kelli: As a psychic, Kelli can provide you with guidance and direction in areas where you feel lost and confused. As a medium, she can receive messages from your deceased loved ones in spirit and your spirit guides. Therefore, using her abilities as a psychic medium, Kelli can help you connect with guidance from both energy and spirit to help you heal your life, your grief, your relationships, your career, your financial issues, your body and even your soul. As a spiritual advisor she can share insight into your own talents and strengths. Along with being a Psychic and Medium, I then became a Reverend, a Usui Reiki Master, and a paranormal researcher. I still practice all those things today, along with giving intuitive readings with the guidance of tarot cards. I've also been taking a special interest in life coaching with a specialty in business. I'm beginning to understand what I'm here to do -- to help people and give them guidance and direction in their life. |
