  • First NFL Game at Arrowhead and Jim Caveziel
    Nov 12 2021

    Episode 44 of Season 2 is another 'personal hero' episode and one we think you'll really enjoy! One of Kelly's personal heroes is actor Jim Caveziel, not just for his wonderful acting in films like FREQUENCY and THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, but also for his principled stand against abortion and his work in promoting the horror of child sex trafficking in his upcoming movie, SOUND OF FREEDOM, opening in January 2022. 

    In our first jam, we have a lighthearted talk about Susan's weekend in Kansas City, to see her first live NFL game (Packers vs. the Chiefs) and tour Arrowhead Stadium. Learn backstage stuff you never knew about what's going on at Arrowhead!!

    Here's the link to the video Kelly mentions about Jack Hibbs, California pastor who comes to the border and discusses what's happening with drug trafficking--by kids!--and how they're being victimized: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9JsUz12qIE&ab_channel=CornerstoneChapel-Leesburg%2CVA

  • ALEC BALDWIN, NANOWRIMO & THE CHARACTER YOU LOVE TO HATE
    Nov 5 2021

    Today's episode is a reflection on the tragic Alec Baldwin shooting, with some ironic commentary from Susan about a novel she read years ago that could have been ripped from the headlines! Life imitates art, who knew?

    Our second jam is a discussion about Nanowrimo, the insane November marathon to write 50,000 words of an original novel in a single 30-day month. This is one of the best ways to kick-start your own creativity, so if you've ever wanted to write a novel, this is a great time to start! Sign up for free at www.nanowrimo.org and get started! You'll truly be glad you did!

    We also discuss character development and the value of creating a character you really can't stand, but whose energy propels the story forward. We have a couple of great examples in this jam (when actually the characters aren't really evil, just annoying or mean), but they're well worth hearing about. Enjoy!

    We also talk about great writing software, and for my money, one of the best is Dabble! Try it during Nanowrimo (sign up and get a discount on a full year of it--and it comes with an app, too!) Or just try it! It's terrific, and I've used it for several years. Sign up for a free trial at www.dabblewriter.com

    Oct 22 2021

    Episode 41 of Season 2 is a full-length interview with audiobook narrator Craig McCarthy, who just finished his first audiobook project--narrating none other than KYLE & COREY AND THE GAME-STORE MYSTERY, one of our regular show sponsors!

    In this far-ranging interview, Craig, a Texas elementary-school librarian, talks about the decision to narrate audiobooks, why he chose to audition for KYLE & COREY and tells the surprising story of finding the book that turned him into a life-long reader! You won't want to miss it!

    Episode 41, since it's one BIG commercial for KYLE & COREY (the audiobook), will run WITHOUT a commercial!

  • POLITICAL TALK & SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS IN OUR LIVES
    Oct 15 2021


    What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and an accepted fact?

    Answer: About six months. And these days, it sure is the truth!!


    In this 40th episode of Season 2 of TALK JAM, we have a PACKED Political Talk segment to open:

    It's true that things are moving fast, so today, instead of defining a specific word or phrase, we spent our Political Talk time discussing three major developments NO ONE is talking about--we feel lucky that we found them on the Internet at all!


    1. First, a bit about South Africa, which has just filed suit in the country's highest court AGAINST ITS OWN PRESIDENT AND PARLIAMENT... here's why:

         https://www.trevorwinchell.com/AmericanPatriotsForum/viewtopic.phpf=110&sid=b371b375eef0870422491b8a5f3ddb54&t=5211&utm_content=13013042&utm_medium=Email&utm_name=Id&utm_source=Actionetics&utm_term=Email

    2. Next, here are the results of a new study in Nigeria that Ivermectin, TAKEN ALONE, treats Covid-19 BETTER than Ivermectin with HCQ and a Z-pack!
    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/nigerian-study-shows-use-ivermectin-alone-treat-covid-19-effective-using-hydroxychloroquine-azithromycin-ivermectin-combined/

    3. Finally, we have interesting news from India--which reports that its largest province (230 million people) is now COVID-FREE. (They have virtually no new cases, and no deaths to report.) How did they do it--and for only $2.65 per household?? And why is NO ONE talking about it?

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/dr-campbell-reveals-reason-behind-indias-ivermectin-blackout/

    Kelly adds a bit about a prophetic word she thinks we all need to hear:

    https://rumble.com/vnbivf-barry-wunsch-djt-draw-your-sword.html

    In our second jam, we turn to the lighter side--a reflection on some of the great sports stories of our lifetime, and how we personally reacted to them and what they meant to us--including the 1972 Olympics, the 1980 Miracle on Ice at Lake Placid, NY, the 2016 Cubs and the 2020 Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Listen and enjoy!

    Today's episode is sponsored by the time-travel thriller novel FORWARD TO CAMELOT, by Susan Sloate & Kevin Finn:

    https://www.amazon.com/Forward-Camelot-Anniversary-Susan-Sloate-ebook/dp/B00EVWYDG0/

    If you're interested in buying Ivermectin online without a prescription, try www.medicinevilla.com for great service and great prices! (And no, we get no remuneration for recommending them!)

  • WIKIPEDIA AND ANOTHER PERSONAL HERO: AMELIA EARHART
    Oct 8 2021

    WIKIPEDIA AND ANOTHER PERSONAL HERO: AMELIA EARHART

    Today's episode of TALK JAM features two jams, one on current events, the other another personal hero of Susan's, aviator Amelia Earhart.

    In Jam 1 we talk about Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, which is not always accurate, but which recently sent Susan an email soliciting funds. Listen to her defiant response!

    In Jam 2 we talk about another personal hero of Susan's (and about whom she wrote a book long ago!)--Amelia Earhart, the 20th-century aviatrix who set records and had daring adventures until her luck ran out on a round-the-world flight in 1937. She has never been found, and there is no satisfactory explanation for what happened to her.  But it's great fun to speculate...

    Today's TALK JAM is sponsored by the study guide for OVER MY DEAD BODY, the brilliant Biblical thriller by Kelly Fitzgerald Fowler. If you want to use the novel to create a Bible study, Kelly has created the perfect guide for you! Check it out here:

  • TOP TEN '80's LISTS and CREEPY FACEBOOK ALGORITHMS
    Oct 1 2021

    TOP TEN '80's LISTS and FACEBOOK ALGORITHM

    Today's episode of TALK JAM is both fun and a little creepy!

    In Jam 1 we run through our Top 10 lists of favorite '80's things, though I'm not sure we really hit ten each... but they sure are fun to talk about! We may have updated lists later, but for now, it was fun remembering STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION and Luke & Laura on GENERAL HOSPITAL!

    In Jam 2 we talk about the all-powerful Facebook algorithms, which in 2018 were upgraded because Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder, wanted more 'engagement' on the platform and thought that hostile or angry comments led to more engagement. That's not even talking about the Instagram algorithm that caused suicidal thoughts in fragile young girls who were concerned about body image issues...

    Today's TALK JAM is sponsored by the audiobook of STEALING FIRE by Susan Sloate, a deeply romantic story about Broadway and passion, set in 1980's New York. Check it out here:
