PPR Upcoming Schedule

The last episode with Lee Culpepper as a guest was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and courteous, even when Mrs. Pistachio allowed her psychology background to get into the conversation. Thank you, Mr. Culpepper. It was a pleasure having you. Check out that episode HERE.

And I have got quite a schedule coming up for you, my faithful listeners to Political Pistachio Radio:

June 2: Cary Cartter of "It Is Obvious" and 2008 Presidential Candidate will be joining us to discuss politics, the war, and his bid for President of the United States.

June 9: Rob Ballister, Author of the book: God Does Have A Sense Of Humor will be on the show to not only talk about his book, but his incredible story regarding surviving cancer. Due to the recent news of my son being diagnosed with cancer, this definitely hits home.

June 16: Gary W. Moore, the author of Playing With The Enemy, comes back for a second PPR installment, and this time he is bringing along with him his publisher, Ted Savas. Perhaps Gary will have more news regarding the motion picture being filmed regarding his book! And on this episode we will give away two autographed copies of his books to two lucky Political Pistachio Radio listeners. Rules are: E-mail me a question you would like me to ask Gary, and the two best questions will be asked on the show, giving full credit to you (as well as a plug for your site), and you will receive (should you be the winner of one of the two questions that I and Mrs. Pistachio choose) an autographed copy of Gary's book, Playing With The Enemy (free of charge to you - publisher will also pay shipping and handling!) Oh, and until the show with Paul Couturier, the first interview with Gary W. Moore held the record for the most listened to PPR show. This will prove to be a very informative and enjoyable show.

June 23: Jeff Edwards, author of Torpedo, which is reminescent of Clancy, but in my opinion is better than most of what Clancy has ever written, will be our guest. Jeff is a retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer, and an Anti-Submarine Warfare Specialist. He is currently working as an expert civilian advisor to the Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command, and Naval Space Warfare Systems Command. A combat veteran, Jeff is a recipient of the Combat Action Ribbon, the Navy Commendation Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, campaign ribbons for Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, the liberation of Kuwait, and numerous other medals and citations. His naval career spanned more than two decades and half the globe - from chasing Soviet nuclear attack submarines during the Cold War, to launching cruise missiles in the Persian Gulf. Trained extensively in mainframe computers, weapons systems, and naval combat tactics, he brings an experience-based edge of authenticity to his writing. His novel, Torpedo was the winner of the 2005 Admiral Nimitz Award and the 2005 American Author Medal. Torpedo has recently been optioned by film producer Paul Sandberg (The Bourne Supremacy). Jeff is hard at work on his next novel, a naval thriller tentatively titled ‘The Seventh Angel.’ This is one episode of Political Pistachio Radio you don't want to miss!

June 30: Bob Anderson heads a grass roots effort for change - to re-Americanize America. What Are We Fighting For? is based on the tenets that the founding fathers of this great nation believed in their actions, and their actions matched their words. He believes that each citizen is required to earn and fight for his/her continued freedoms and the privilege of living in the United States of America. His organization believes that circumstances on both the global and national levels have conspired to create a set of conditions in which the liberties and freedoms won by our fore fathers and guaranteed by our Constitution are being and will continue to be eroded by special interest groups, rampant and uncontrolled illegal immigration, political agendas and biased news agencies more concerned with creating news than reporting it. His organization wishes to ignite, not inflame, that great “silent majority” of Americans that want to see this country return to its roots, protect its citizens and their rights to free speech, freedom of religion and those "unalienable rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Bob Anderson is a retired military man from the U.S. Air Force Reserve. He retired as a Chief Master Sergeant in 2006 with over 32 years of service. His last mission was a six month tour of duty in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While there, he served as the Chief Enlisted Manager of the 732d Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron. He was responsible for two law enforcement detachments and 32 military working dog teams. His 221 person squadron was scattered among 21 different locations throughout Iraq. While there, he traveled over 6000 miles in country in support of his troops. Bob’s military career has many highlights, including holding various positions, the most recent include the honor of serving as the Command Chief Master Sergeant of the 147th Fighting Wing at Ellington Field, Texas Air National Guard; as well as the Security Force Manager of the 917th Security Forces Squadron, Barksdale AFB, Louisiana. He received numerous awards and citations including the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal/ 3 devices, Air Force Commendation/1 device, Air Force Achievement Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Iraqi Freedom Medal. Bob is the founder of What Are We Fighting For?™, an organization focused on re-Americanizing America. He is also president of Back To Basics International, a professional speaking and training organization focusing on excellence and accountability. Bob is a published author and holds two Ph.D.’s.

Paul received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Criminal Justice at Wichita State University, and is currently completing his PhD. in sociology at Kansas State University.
