Author Irene Levy (rhymes with our sponsor Bryner Chevy :)) Baker takes us on a tour of Philadelphia with the newly-updated 100 Things To Do In Philadelphia Before You Die. Originally written in 2016, this update--while not titled particularly 2020/COVID-friendly--covers a wide variety of Philadelphia & surrounding area spots to enjoy. Major sections include Food & Drink, Music & Entertainment, Sports & Recreation, Culture & History, and Shopping & Fashion.

With addresses, phone numbers and websites, as well as tips to consider, this book is designed to serve as a guide folks can "check through" whether in conjunction with a "stay-cation," group outings, and more, including those looking for ideas how to support the local economy.

Irene Levy Baker spent many years working at the Convention & Visitors Bureau and started a PR firm specializing in restaurants & hospitality. Much of the knowledge in her book comes from those years. She is glad to autograph any copies WFIL listeners pick up through her website (www.100ThingsToDoInPhiladelphia.com). Baker joined the TDS a couple years ago when she released another book entitled Unique Eats & Eateries. You can find her on Twitter at @SpotlightPR and @100Philly.

For the Memorial Day Weekend, we feature a number of conversations from the TDS Archive, beginning with a chat over coffee Tim had with his 98-year old neighbor & WW II veteran Nick Pileggi a few years ago.

Montel Williams (former TV talk show host and Marine & Navy veteran) shares about his book The Sailing of the Intrepid: The Incredible Wartime Voyage of the Navy's Iconic Aircraft Carrier. Williams currently hosts "Military Makeover with Montel" on Lifetime.

Karin Tanabe & Victoria Kelly (journalists & authors) team up to share about their documentary "Atomic Echoes: Untold Stories of World War II." Tanabe is a first-generation Japanese-American whose uncle was the first president of Hiroshima University, while Kelly's grandfather is a WWII atomic veteran--one of the first Americans to enter Nagasaki after the atomic bomb.

We close out the show with Meathead, one of several dozen living Barbecue Hall of Famers and publisher of the most popular grilling & BBQ website in the world (www.AmazingRibs.com) regarding his book The Meathead Method: A BBQ Hall of Famer's Secrets and Science on BBQ, Grilling, and Outdoor Cooking with 114 Recipes.

Fortesa Latifi (journalist and author) shares about her new book Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids & the Cost of a Childhood Online. Latifi's work focuses on the largely-unregulated child influencer industry, including helping shed light on the costs of internet fame and ethics of online content. Her work has been featured in Rolling Stone, the New York Times & the Washington Post.

Scott Davis (historian & journalist) also joins the show regarding his new book The Last of the Old Breed: An Oral History of the Final Marines from World War II. Davis runs "The Vietnam Experience" channel on YouTube and has interviewed over 500 veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam over the past 10 years.

(Should you be interested in a copy, it's worth noting Davis writes in the beginning of the book: "I have decided, for the sake of transparency, to report the stories exactly as they were told. Topics such as killing or war crimes have not been censored, nor have I altered any derogatory racial language. While I do not condone some of the views expressed, each veteran was encouraged to speak openly, lest we romanticize or glorify the past.")

Tim closes out the show reading Daniel chapter 3 including noting the amazing power of God to the point that Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego--thrown into the fiery furnace--not only came out unharmed and unsinged, but also "there was no smell of fire on them." Whoa Nellie, talk about complete protection and rescue :).
