Rick Flynn Presents, the official podcast soon to publish our milestone 200th episode proudly welcomes back author Larry Jorgensen in promotion of his book "Shipwrecked and Rescued: The City of Bangor."

Larry Jorgensen first became fascinated with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and its unique history while writing and reporting for television news in Green Bay. However, his journey into that world of news had begun much earlier in northern Wisconsin where he worked during high school for the weekly newspaper in Eagle River. Later he was employed by a newspaper publisher in Milwaukee, and then on to radio and television news in Texas and Louisiana, along with wire service and freelance assignments. During all those years he looked forward to return visits to the Keweenaw Peninsula. During one of those visits, Larry discovered the tale of the wreck of the City of Bangor. Learning of that little-known event resulted in his decision to create this written account, which he hopes would share the story of one of Lake Superior’s most unusual shipwrecks.

Rick Flynn Presents, the official podcast, is proud to welcome, from Houston, Texas, Dr. Layla Salek the author of

Chaos in Color: A Memoir of Childhood Trauma and Forgiveness

Chaos in Color is the captivating story of Layla’s journey from childhood to adulthood with a mother who suffered from untreated bipolar disorder. Each chapter paints a vivid, heartbreaking picture of the abuse, neglect, and trauma that she experienced as she grew up at the mercy of her mother’s bipolar swings, an incompetent mental health system, and the strangers with whom she was often left. But dissipating those times of darkness were moments of love, joy, and happiness that she felt while being cared for by others in her life. These moments inspired her to start her own family, complete a doctorate in psychology, and work with children with mental illness and severe behavior disorders.

Layla’s story traces how personal and familial trauma is carried into adulthood and how it can be released through forgiveness. This honest, provocative memoir offers a relatable account for others who have experienced similar trauma, as well as hope for healing and a future full of light. Please take the time to listen to this outstanding podcast. You will not be sorry you did. Contact the author at:

Coming into our show this week all the way from Canada is our guest JOAN POSIVY who is an Amazon best-selling author of her book "The Way Success Works". We are delighted to have her on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast and certainly wish to thank Joan for a job very well done!

At the age of 19, Joan was introduced to a set of teachings which altered the course of her life. Through applying those lessons, she bought her first house later that year, became a successful bank manager by the age of 22 (at the time, the youngest person in Canada to ever have done so), and travel the world.

Through study and a lot of practical application Joan learned powerful tools that are changing the lives of youth around the world.

She has lived, fine-tuned, tested, and tweaked the principles of The Way Success Works to make them accessible to anyone who has a deep desire to live their best life, and has shared these ideas in countries around the globe in her seminars and keynote speeches.

One of her very favorite speaking engagements over that time -- for the last 19 years, in fact -- has been at the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) camp for young adults. She sees an incredible amount of talent and potential in each one of them, and more importantly, she wants to be sure they see this in themselves.

Imagine if every young adult around the globe could see within him or herself an abundance of positive possibility? Imagine if each one had the motivation and confidence to express that possibility? This has become her personal mission and it's what led to the development of the Global Youth Project, with its mission to inspire, enliven, educate, and empower as many young people as possible to become courageous, confident, goal achievers. To book Joan for a speaking engagement, contact her through www.globalyouthproject.org. Joan can also be reached at her podcast site: www.SideHustleHero.com.

The Medical Revolution of Messenger RNA

By Fabrice Delaye

Foreword by Nobel Prize Winner Thomas Cech

This week on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast: Can you say "Astonishing?"

When mRNA-based vaccines came to the rescue during the pandemic in seemingly record time, our guest Fabrice Delaye realized that their development could not have been as simple and quick as people wanted to believe. But when he tracked down the origins of mRNA technologies, he uncovered a dramatic story that had never been told. Building on decades of research, tacts and his unique grasp of the science and the stakes involved, Delaye interviewed more than fifty mRNA scientists and entrepreneurs worldwide. His book documents the long, harrowing, unlikely but ultimately triumphant road to a discovery with the potential to revolutionize medicine far beyond the pandemic.

Fabrice Delaye is a science and technology journalist based in Switzerland. He was U.S. correspondent at the daily Swiss newspaper L’Agefi, science and technology editor at magazine Bilan, and is now a reporter-at-large for Heidi.news in Geneva. He is a graduate of the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris and has a master’s degree from the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne, EPFL.

Pamela Hopkins was invited to appear on Rick Flynn's podcast "Rick Flynn Presents: Confessions of a Show Biz Kid" when, by accident, after being pitched some other artist's material to promote and consider for guest appearances, her material was recommended and somehow found its way into the pile of guest artists we were considering for appearances on the show. Her already recorded song, "Somebody Here is Walkin" especially drew all eyes to it as it was an excellent Country single as was "Givin A Damn (Don't Go With My Outfit) I'm OK With Me" which will also be featured in this show.

In 2022, Pamela was an Official Nominee for 3 Arkansas Country Music awards; Country Artist of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Album of theYear.  In 2023, Pamela is an official nominee for several other awards this year including Country Song of the Year for “I Love You Most,”  and Americana Song of the Year for “Squirrel Train” with the Josie Awards. 

Her song, "Givin' a Damn (Don't Go With My Outfit),"  is also the title of her new 8-song album which became available for sale on December 21, 2021.   She has some great custom logo merch to go with this song/album release. Check it out on her merch page and be sure to order before she runs out!   She has more music being released throughout 2023 and she can't wait for her fans to hear her new co-written music, she said, "I am so excited to put out new music that will hopefully make people connect with me and with their inner-selves.  I have worked hard to put my whole heart into my writing and vocal performances on each song."

Rick Flynn Presents is pleased to welcome to our show author and real-estate expert/attorney at law DANIEL DAIN to our program. What makes a city great and successful? The answer is innovation. Although the title of his new #1 Amazon book is "The History of Boston" don't let the title fool you. This book is for anyone who wishes to be, not only entertained, but educated by the amazing tales of tales of such great cities such as Boston, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dubai. Boston is today one of the world’s greatest cities, first in higher education, hospitals, life science companies, and sports teams. It was the home of the Great Puritan Migration, the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the first civil rights movement, the abolition movement, and the women’s rights movement. But the city that gave us the first use of ether as anesthesia, the telephone, technicolor film, and the mutual fund―the city where Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott founded their world-changing partnership―was also the hub of the anti-immigration movement, the divisive busing era, and decades of self-inflicted decay. Boston has the most important history of any American city. Yet its history has never been given a comprehensive treatment until now. Join Dan Dain as he acts as your tour guide from the arrival of First Peoples up to the election of Boston’s first woman and person of color as mayor. Dain’s masterful work explores the policies and practices that took Boston from its highest heights to its lowest lows and back again, and examines the central role that density, diversity, and good urban design play in the success of cities like Boston. Here is an 832-page book for you in both hardcover and Kindle format and is available wherever books are sold including Amazon.

This week on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast: A fascinating true story about a true genius that will forever be intertwined as a remarkable human being in the entire world's eyes.

It's the true story of what would turn out to be Walt Disney's final passion project: A Disney-themed ski resort on top of a Southern California mountain, complete with a ski lift, sleigh rides, dogsledding, ice-skating, and tobogganing--not to mention a band of Disney Imagineer-created Audio-Animatronic bears. It sounds utterly harmless but it became totally controversial. 

Local residents tried to stop it from being built out of concern for the land and the (real) animals that inhabited it. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court and basically birthed the environmental movement in America. Health failing, Walt Disney soldiered on with his dream. But it was one that would never be realized--not before or after his death. 

Join us as our husband-and-wife author team describe a fascinating tale that took years of research and study to write. You may purchase this book wherever books are sold and you may contact its authors at:

What was initially meant to be a brief interview at his Florida acting school for a documentary about film financing, became a rare in-depth look back at Reynolds passions and purpose, his plans for the future and a wide range of topics. Many of his closest friends consider the exchanges which are captured in this movie actually gave the public a very rare look at the real essence of the prolific actor, director and producer. It is an honor to present Rick Pamplin to you in this two-part series on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast.

Today, I no longer feel the need to use alcohol as a band-aid to distract me from reality. I now have the ability to accept and adjust to any changes or challenges that would have caused me to stress out before I learned to live mindfully and make meditation a daily gift I give to myself.

I'm not going to lie, it wasn't an easy journey. I had to do some serious work on myself, and it took a lot of time and dedication. But the payoff has been incredible. I feel more connected to my life, and I'm able to handle stress in a much healthier way.

Mental health is no joke. It's just as important as physical health, and it's time we start treating it that way. I hope that by sharing my story, I can inspire others to seek the help they need and find the tools that work for them. After all, we're all in this crazy journey of life together!

Appearing this week on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast is British writer/author/ journalist/as well as editor and Archivist of the Estate of the late photographer Bud Lee, CHRIS CAMPION. Published by Ze Books, the new book is entitled "The War is Here: Newark 1967" and features the spectacular photographs of Bud Lee.

With a foreword by the Honorable Ras J. Baraka, 40th Mayor of Newark, NJ, The War Is Here is Life magazine photographer Bud Lee’s dramatic, empathetic, and still shocking record of the Newark uprising of 1967―a pivotal moment in a summer of protest and rage across the country, whose reverberations we still feel today. 

July 1967. After the arrest, beating, and imprisonment of cab driver John Smith by local police, the city of Newark―already a tinderbox―became a hotbed of protest and retaliation. Over five long days, 26 people were killed by police gunfire and hundreds more were injured, thousands arrested, and millions of dollars in property damage caused. The scars on the city remained for decades. 

The most shocking thing about the photos in the book is that, over the last few years, exactly the same scenes have been playing out before us in cities across the US. In Portland, in Charlottesville, Ferguson, Memphis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and many other places; anywhere people have come out on the streets to have their voices heard, to protest police brutality, police killings, and gun violence, and been met with disproportionate militarized force and state power. Looking at the images Bud Lee shot of Newark in 1967, seeing the parallels with today, we should ask ourselves, how is this still happening fifty years on?

"BOLD" - hits Amazon on June 13, 2023 !!!

If you’re looking for a job in television, Julie O’Neill’s book is a Godsend. But better than that, if you want a quick read that is filled with hilarious and horrifying twists by a Southern girl born in New York City, the book Bold is for you. Julie bares her soul as she bounces from a small Louisiana television station to Florida’s biggest TV market. Then there is her invitation to visit the biggest prize of all, a top-rated station in New York City only three years after her television career began. But this isn’t a Cinderella story. Her boldness gets her into the scare of her life. Sitting down alone with a man who days earlier had beaten a woman to death with a baseball bat. "And nobody knew where I was at the time,” she writes. “There’s a difference between bold and stupid,” she learned. Her longest television stay was Cincinnati, and they were some of the best professional days of her life. Until. You’ve got to read it to believe it. Bold. --George Caldwell Sells Former Correspondent ABC News NY, Anchor- Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, Detroit, Baton Rouge
