      <title>Radio Geek Round Table (Donavan Tildesley and Dave Welch Episode 49)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[I'm joined on the podcast by Radio enthusiast/former station Co-owner Donovan Tildesley and long time broadcast veteran Dave Welch for what I like to call a radio geek round table discussion. We'll talk about some of our radio experiences from our beginnings in the business, where it is today and where we see it going in the future. Of course we will wrap up the podcast with a really bad pun. I will also drop a small hint about some exciting news that is coming soon.

      <title>Standing Courageous (Paula Walters Episode 41)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Join me as I speak with Paula Walters.
Paula is a Certified Master Life Coach, a paramedic of 19 years, and a former firefighter.  She is also a survivor of child abuse, domestic violence, strangulation, traumatic brain injury, and sexual assault.  Since 2015 as president of her non-profit organization Standing Courageous, she and her educational staff have led the charge to educate first responders, EMS providers, social workers, and other healthcare professionals on the dangers of her past experiences.  Paula is passionate about advocating for those that are abused and raising awareness about the psychology and the invisible impacts from traumatic abuse.

Drawing upon her thirteen-year journey of several incorrect medical diagnoses, Paula has swiftly becomea nationally recognized motivational speaker and educator.  After a three-year journey, she is now medicine-free and lives only with a single medical diagnosis - traumatic brain injury.  A proponent for total body wellness, functional health, and the concept of “rewiring“ after trauma, Paula seeks to inspire others to triumph over personal trauma and tragedy.  She can be reached at

      <title>Turn The Tables (Fred LeFebvre Episode 40)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In this 40th episode, we turn the tables. Recently I had the pleasure of being a guest of long time Toledo radio veteran Fred LeFebvre who can be heard weekday mornings from 6:00 until 9:00 a.m. on News Radio 1370 WSPD. Fred talks with me about how I overcame the challenges and obstacles to get my start in radio. You might even get a chance to hear my wife Sarah as she gets in on some of the fun. Don't forget, there will be a really bad pun at the end of the podcast.

      <description><![CDATA[The Right Attitude 

On episode 34 I sit down and chat with Canadian paralympic athlete, radio enthusiast and all-around nice guy Donovan Tildesley. Donovan, who is totally blind was the flag bearer for the Canadian paralympic team at the 2008 Beijing paralympic games. We'll talk about Donovan's Journey as a paralympic swimmer and his love for radio, along with some other things. I will also have a really bad pun and ask the question. What is that sound?
