This week: Take Shelter; Dirty Girl; PDA; PI’s and a little Disaster Preparedness

This week we we kick off the show with a review of the forthcoming film “Take Shelter” starring Acadamy Award nominee Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. This film takes planning for the worst to new extremes! Rob Dudgeon of the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management will join us too, for the facts on how you can prepare for disaster, for real.

We’ll also talk with Abe Sylvia, Writer/Director of the new Weinstein Company production “Dirty Girl,” starring Juno Temple, Mary Steenbergen and William H. Macy. You read that right!

And, are we really innocent until proven guilty or is the other way around? We’ll talk with Brandon Garrett, author of “Convicting the Innocent,” about why eyewitnesses get so much credibility, yet are actually so unreliable.

We can’t let a Leisha Hailey’s PDA in the news escape us–we’ll debate how much is too much–AND Robin Martinelli tells us some secrets of  private investigators!

Plus, we talk with FM from our sponsor Bank of Commerce Mortgage, about how much money you need in the bank to buy a new home (and what to do if you don’t have enough), in an all new “That’s So Money” segment. Find FM at fmz@bankofcommercemortgage.com.

CHANNEL 92.3 (KSJO) PREMIERES LIVE CANDID ADVICE SHOW

Premiering June 27th@9pm!

Bay Area adults can now get live advice weekly on relationships, sex and more from forthright female hosts

San Francisco, CA –Lady Brain (www.askladybrain.com), known as ‘the most candid advice show on the air,’ announced today that they are moving their show to a live call-in format on Channel 92.3 (KSJO). The show will air on Sunday nights 9-9:30pm, beginning June 27, 2010.

Lady Brain is hosted by expert advice-givers Lauren Schiller and Stephanie Dominguez Walton, who offer intelligent, straightforward opinions laced with down-to-earth humor on the personal issues women face every day in relationships, sex, and family (think sexy dreams, unhelpful husbands, vasectomies, scary co-workers). The show has been called “Oprah for the ears” and “Car Talk meets Cosmo Magazine.”

“We’re taking the stuff girlfriends usually whisper to each other in the ladies room, and talking about it out in the open—it’s often astounding what we reveal to one another,” said Lauren Schiller.

“Guys are going to want to hear this. There’s no filter. It’s real fly-on-the-wall stuff,” said Stephanie Dominguez Walton.

Michael Solari, Program Director for KSJO said, “We’re excited to take on a show that knows how to shake things up. Sunday night is going to be the new girls’ night out—and this time, the guys can overhear it.”

Listeners will be able to hear honest answers to their questions, every week. Phone lines will be open Sundays 9-9:30p at 877-WE-ASK-LADYBRAIN (877-932-7552), and questions can be emailed to theladies@askladybrain.com.

Lady Brain began as a ‘no holds barred’ podcast, and soon gained their own show on 90.3, KUSF, as well as a premier position on Green960 podcasts. Their launch onto Channel 92.3 (KSJO) will enable an even larger audience to have real-time interaction on personal issues.

Get excited, watch the videos!

Today on “The View From The Bay” Keeping the peace with Mom on mother’s day

more about “Lady Brain | Keeping the peace with M…“, posted with vodpod

Spencer introduces us as “Just as wild and wonderful as Joan Rivers”!

Four simple ways to celebrate mom “beyond brunch” and show her how much she means to you!

Make mom feel good on Mother’s Day:

  1. Promote inner peace: Do something you know she would never do for herself, indulge her with a massage appt or take her on a hike to a beautiful waterfall. (Maybe she’ll leave you alone about your career choice for a little while too.)
  2. Make peace/show your love: Make sure she knows how much you love her with words–write a poem, or a sweet note. Be nice to her the whole day-long. (You get to focus on the good times, instead of any recent disagreements)
  3. Have a peaceful day: Do something for her — plant a bunch of new spring flowers, get her car detailed and then take her out to dinner and let her choose where to go. Let her choose the movie or make her lunch at your house. (She’ll know how much you appreciate her with your actions)
  4. Thoughtful gifts: Get her something you know she’s been wanting–load up a kindle with her favorite authors, find a long-lost edition of a book, get her the jewelry she’s been wanting, get her an ipod and fill it with her favorite music (and show her how to use it in a non-condescending tone!)

The history of Mother’s Day in America:

The first North American Mother’s Day was conceptualized with Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation in 1870. Despite having penned The Battle Hymn of the Republic 12 years earlier, Howe had become so distraught by the death and carnage of the Civil War that, she called on Mother’s to come together and protest what she saw as the futility of their Sons killing the Sons of other Mothers.

In 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed it into national observance, declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Fun Facts:

  • The National Retail Foundation predicts Mother’s Day is a $14 Billion industry
  • Florists see their highest sales in May
  • U.S. restaurants claim that it is the busiest day of the year
  • Long distance telephone calls also peak on this day
  • The U.S. Postal Service experiences increased volume during the surrounding days
  • According to Hallmark, 96% of American consumers take part in shopping on Mother’s Day, while retailers report it as the second highest gift giving day of the year behind Christmas
