Fear of what was happening to me. Fear of what I had become. Fear of what was going to happen to my marriage, and the fear of losing my family – all to my addiction of the street drug, crystal meth.”
In this episode, Kristy Mickelsen shares the inspiration behind her memoir and the personal journey that shaped her path as an advocate, author, and podcast host. From overcoming challenges to finding her voice, Kristy offers a powerful and uplifting story that’s sure to resonate with listeners.

Bill Thompson – Bridging Classic Radio and Modern Tech
Then we had radio veteran and TikTok influencer Bill Thompson on the program to talk about his new venture creating content for people over the age of 40 about how to use AI.
Bill Thompson
If you’re a fan of old-school radio, you’ll find Bill Thompson’s story especially compelling. A true veteran of the airwaves, Bill spent over 30 years behind the mic, interviewing some of the most fascinating figures of our time—leaders, inventors, entertainers, athletes, astronauts, and more. By the time he retired from radio in 2018, he’d recorded an astonishing archive of over 10,000 interviews.
Today, Bill brings those unforgettable moments back to life through his podcast, Now I’ve Heard Everything—a treasure trove of wit, wisdom, humor, and history.
But that’s not all.
Bill is also embracing the future by diving into the world of artificial intelligence. Through a new YouTube series, he’s helping adults over 40—especially those less tech-savvy—learn how to use AI in everyday, practical ways. He’s gathering real stories and questions from his audience to guide the series: What have you tried? What confused you? What do you want to learn?
Whether you’re reminiscing about radio’s golden era or curious about AI’s modern magic, Bill Thompson is here to share, teach, and inspire.

And finally, we take a hard look at NPR—once a trusted voice for public service journalism, now seen by many as another outlet for partisan commentary. What changed?

In this episode, we sit down with Stacy Rogers — a lifelong Kansan, small business owner, advocate for constitutional freedoms, and Republican candidate for Governor of Kansas. If elected, Rogers would make history as the first female Republican Governor in the state’s history.
Stacy Rogers
Rogers shares her vision for Kansas, rooted in strong leadership, unity, and a commitment to addressing the pressing challenges facing the state. With deep ties to her community and firsthand experience as a mother of three and former homeschool parent, she brings a unique and personal perspective to the issues of education, local business support, and individual rights.
“I am running for Governor because I believe in the power of the people,” Rogers says. “As a lifelong Kansan, a mother, and a business owner, I’ve seen the challenges our state faces. We need leadership that not only listens, but takes action — to protect our rights, improve our schools, support local businesses, and restore the values that make Kansas great.”
A passionate advocate for education, especially for children with learning challenges, Rogers has long fought to ensure all students receive the resources and support they need to thrive.
Throughout our conversation, Rogers discusses her campaign platform, her dedication to civic engagement, and her belief that every Kansan has a role to play in shaping the state’s future. She has pledged to use the next two years to inform and empower voters across the state.
