LA Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt means business. He's pissed and wants to turn the city he grew up in to a city that functions without debilitating crime, drugs, homelessness, in addition to helping thousands of Angelenos cut through red tape so they can rebuild after losing their homes in the LA fires of 2025. It's a tall order, and he says he's fired up and wants the job. And he's working the streets every day to earn the trust of voters to be their next mayor. Spencer, a USC grad, is passionate, well-spoken, and killed it in the recent LA Mayoral debates against incumbent Mayor Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman. He claims their progressive policies have turned Los Angeles into a walking criminal and drug addicted city that was once the envy of the country, a place where kids could play outside, walk to the local ice cream store and feel safe. No more, and I can attest to that. Today, he joins us to tell us his plan and vision to turn LA around. For anyone who claims a former reality TV star can't do the job, I welcome you to listen to our interview. Spencer is a father, husband, son, and he loves his city. He's a college grad who is outspoken and has sensible and practice ideas on how to get this city back on track. And for anyone who wants the same old politics, I hope you'll listen to our interview and hear what Spencer has to say. He just might be what LA needs, because we certainly don't need more of the same. Please join my full interview with Spencer on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

California and Los Angeles are at a crossroads, and it's up to each of us to determine the future of both our state and beloved city. Please welcome #JohnKobylt, host of the award-winning #JohnKobyltShow on #iheart radio and #kfiam640 powerhouse station, who joins us to talk about the gubernatorial and mayoral races here. Last week, candidates duked it out during scheduled debates, and everyone seems to have their take on the winners. But there's one thing clear - our state and city are in trouble, and we need change. Fast. Crime, homelessness and drug addition is up, along with gas and housing prices. What's down? Jobs in the entertainment industry, and all the jobs created around it from food service to props. We're in trouble. Much the same way the auto industry left Detroit, same with Hollywood. And once it closes, it's hard to bring it back. But there's hope, and we'll talk about that. Please join me LIVE on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #Debo

Please welcome acclaimed actress Monica Guerritore to our show, who joins us to
talk about her magnificent film, "Anna - The Untold Story" - about the life of legendary
actress Anna Magnini, specifically set on the night of 1956 when Anna won the
Academy Award for Best Actress for "The Rose Tattoo."
She was the first Italian actress to win an Oscar. The film portrays Anna as a woman
of immense strength and passion, navigating her private struggles and memories
while wandering the streets of Rome.
Monica wrote, directed, and also stars in the film, offering a rich portrayal of Anna the
person as opposed to the cinema icon. It's an incredible story, told from the heart,
and so beautifully acted by Monica, I was left speechless. I wanted to understand
Monica's process in capturing the story of Anna, as well as her keen interest. The film,
which debuted in Los Angeles for International Women's Day, also stars Tommaso
Ragno, Beatrice Granno, and Lucia Mascino.
I love a story about strong women, particularly Italian women. Today, I not only
interview one - Monica - we talk about one as well - Anna.
Please join me on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE,
#LittleItalyPodcast, and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt,
and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. Please share with your friends and family

Please welcome one of the funniest guys in comedy today, Mike Marino, who hails
from New Jersey, next to the town where I was born. Mike manages to turn
circumstances from everyday life as a proud Italian-American into something we can
all relate to - funny, relatable, ridiculous.

He went on a campaign to "Make America Italian Again" which attracted a cult
following. He hosts the popular podcast, "Live From My Mother's Basement," which is
literally recorded in the basement of the home where he grew up. In fact, with the
recent death of his parents, he bought the house, and starts each morning taking us
on a LIVE walk around the neighborhood, sharing his thoughts of the day. And these
days, there's a lot to share.

While performing on a cruise ship last year, he became ill. Doctors found a tumor in
his brain which they removed. Now he's on another campaign - to get healthy with the
help of his beautiful fiancée, Heather. He's currently also working on a new TV special
with the working title, "Mike Marino: Back 2 School," and he's back performing LIVE
this week, so check his social for deets.

Mike has performed at the Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, Carnegie Hall, and he's
entertained veterans for which he earned the USO Bob Hope Comedy Award. He's
also a successful actor, having appeared on Frazier and so many other shows and
commercials. He's got a lot to share, not only about comedy, but about loss, family,
being Italian, and his recent health scare that literally knocked him off his feet.

Please find my full conversation with #MikeMarino on all video and audio platforms of
#DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host,
#DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

And congrats, Mike, for being inducted into the N.J. Comedy Hall of Fame.

Grief can be crippling both mentally and physically. It is one of the most complicated of human conditions, and often difficult to recover from. Today, we speak with someone who has been through it and writes to help others process their grief and get to the other side of living again. Please welcome Larry Freeborg, author of "Always At Choice," which helps people to realize they have the choice to move forward even from the most crippling grief. The book is rooted in Larry's personal experience when he simultaneously lost his wife to leukemia and his 18-year career due to an economic downturn. He was left to raise four children on his own and find work, too, all while grieving. It took some time, but Larry found his way back. In this book, Larry talks about how to reinvent yourself at any age, even if you feel stuck, and he offers practical strategies on how to do it. Please join our show today, and share with a friend, because we all experience grief at some time, and it's good to know we're not alone and important to share how to get through it. Please join my full conversation with Larry Freeborg on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

There was a time when there were very few female comics, but that's changed due in large part to the brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their mind on stage. One of those women was Judy Tenuta, considered one of the most unique and trailblazing comedians of a generation, cutting through the male-dominated profession with her sharp wit and style. And because of her, many women were subsequently able to break into comedy. Judy gained national recognition in 1987 after starring in the HBO special, Women of the Night, opposite Ellen DeGeneres and Rita Rudner. After that, she never looked back.

Judy passed away in 2022 from ovarian cancer, but she left behind a legacy and rich story to tell. Her life and career are the subject of an award-winning short titled, "It Happened: The Judy Tenuta Story," starring Taylor Blackwell, who wore many of Judy's costumes in the film. This is a story about breaking through barriers and not giving up, and believing in yourself even with others don't. Today, we welcome to our show Brent Mata, director and producer of "It Happened," who
speaks about the importance of telling Judy's life story with purpose and authenticity.

Please enjoy my full conversation with award-winning filmmaker Brent Mata on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to our show.
