Ed is joined by Arran Sheets aka Rob Shef, to discuss the mystery surrounding the crash of TWA 800 outside New York. At the time it was taken to be another crash, albeit any crash is tragic for all concerned.
Pretty soon word was put about by witnesses and people claiming to be insiders that it wasn’t a fault with the plane or pilot error; the bitter truth, they claim, is that TWA800 came down as the result of a missile hitting the plane.
Despite Government denials, these rumours have persisted, and the evidence for the claims has gathered in both credibility and weight. No one knows and no organisation has claimed responsibility for the missile, should it be a factual portrayal of events. This has spawned rumours in the same way 9/11 has grown into an entire movement.
Arran Sheets talks of his work, his research and his belief that the entire event is an orchestrated work of deception by shadowy figures as yet to be identified. But why?

Clive Howard Kelly - Music legend
If there is someone who knows them all, from the Beatles to the Police to the Pistols to almost everyone in music and entertainment, it’s Clive Howard Kelly.
Captain Kelly, as he is known because of his travels on his boat, has been there at key moments in music history. He’s seen its’ dark side, and the side we see. He’s mixed with geniuses and perverts and almost everything in between.
In a short interview it is difficult to encompass everything The Captain has done. Ed Opperman attempts to extract some juicy nuggets from the man who literally knew them all.
Background : The Clive Kelly Story Clive Howard Kelly Facebook
Just a word to say the interview contains quite a bit of potty mouth.

Ed Opperman is joined by Roben Farzad, whose comprehensive research into organised crime in Miami in the 70s' has been published in a book which will, even with Miami's reputation, shock you.
In the seventies, coke hit Miami with the full force of a hurricane, and no place attracted dealers and dopers like Coconut Grove’s Mutiny at Sailboat Bay. Hollywood royalty, rock stars, and models flocked to the hotel’s club to order bottle after bottle of Dom and to snort lines alongside narcos, hit men, and gunrunners, all while marathon orgies burned upstairs in elaborate fantasy suites.
Amid the boatloads of powder and cash reigned the new kings of Miami: three waves of Cuban immigrants vying to dominate the trafficking of one of the most lucrative commodities ever known to man. But as the kilos—and bodies—began to pile up, the Mutiny became target number one for law enforcement.
Based on exclusive interviews and never-before-seen documents, Hotel Scarface is a portrait of a city high on excess and greed, an extraordinary work of investigative journalism offering an unprecedented view of the rise and fall of cocaine—and the Mutiny—in Miami.
It's a rollercoaster of information and names, some of which you will know, some of which you won't, all of which were usually bad news to meet.

Billy Hayes : Midnight Express
FIRST he wrote the best-selling book.
THEN came the Oscar ® winning movie.
NOW, following its critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run at the Barrow Street Theatre, and sold out engagements in Edinburgh and London, Billy Hayes is taking his riveting one-man show on tour. In this “engrossing,” “spellbinding” performance, Billy recounts the true story of his time in Turkish prisons and his brazen, harrowing escape. It’s an epic journey of self-discovery, a cautionary, yet uplifting tale of desperation, determination and personal transformation.
Hayes was arrested at the Istanbul airport in 1970 with two kilos of hashish taped to his body. The Turkish High Court sentenced him to life in prison. Five years later, Billy escaped from Imrali Island prison in the dead of night – rowing 17 miles across the Sea of Marmara in a raging storm.
On his return to the US, Hayes wrote Midnight Express.
Published in 18 languages, the book was an instant best-seller.
When the iconic film was released in 1978, Billy Hayes became a mythical figure – a modern-day Billy The Kid. 36 years later,
he remains a cultural anti-hero known throughout the world.
If you’ve seen the movie, you might think you know Billy’s story. But you probably don’t. Midnight Express didn’t win any
Oscars® for factual accuracy. While the film was about prison – a chilling exploration of the depths of incarceration in a
foreign land – Riding the Midnight Express with Billy Hayes is about the prisoner. It’s an intimate, gripping memoir that can only be told by the man who lived it.

The literary sequel to The Falcon and the Snowman that answers the question: What happened to Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee after they were sent to prison?"A compelling narrative of survival and redemption." —Robert Lindsey, author of The Falcon and the Snowman
Forty years before the names Snowden and Manning entered the world’s cultural lexicon, Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee became America’s youngest convicted spies—condemned to federal prison in 1977 for their roles in one of the most highly publicized espionage cases in Cold War history.
Yet the story of their crime, as told in the book and movie The Falcon and the Snowman, was only the beginning.
Locked away in some of the country’s most violent and inhospitable prisons, Boyce and Lee survived repeated attempts on their lives and years of solitary confinement before a young and idealistic paralegal, Cait Mills, attempted to put them on the path to freedom. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, Mills’ determination to continue her work while battling the illness ultimately changed all three of their lives.
American Sons: The Untold Story of the Falcon and the Snowman is an incredible true story told by the people who lived it—a narrative of survival against impossible odds, a case study on the indomitability of the human spirit, and a testament to the transformative power of forgiveness.
The 40th anniversary edition of American Sons includes new and expanded content, including numerous articles written by Christopher Boyce for the Minneapolis Star Tribune during the late '80s and early '90s that shed stark light on life behind prison walls.Winner of the 2017 International Publisher Award for best biography.

Bart Kamp - Prayer Man
September 27
Bart Kamp is a photographer and researcher who has spent much of his time engaged in his passion - reading. This lead him into the whole JFK and RFK stories, with obvious particular reference to the assassinations.
As a trained professional photographer, he has 'read' the pictures taken at the time of the JFK shooting, and has an informed and interesting hypothesis.
The publication of Prayer Man: More Than a Fuzzy Picture represents an unprecedented decade-long investigation of Lee Harvey Oswald’s last 48 hours.
Bart Kamp has produced a comprehensive work which delves into Lee Harvey Oswald and the other Texas School Book Depository employees inside the building during and shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd 1963.
Kamp’s detailed research also examines the period of Oswald’s incarceration and interrogations. It presents an entirely new and deep perspective of how the law enforcement agencies gathered their evidence that weekend. It reveals a dramatic new context in relation to understanding Lee Harvey Oswald's innocence.
Within these pages are many new and never before published revelations that contrast the altered accounts that were represented before the Warren Commission and challenges many commonly accepted assumptions and interpretations.
Prayer Man: More Than a Fuzzy Picture is Kamp’s debut on the JFK Assassination.

Monique - Radio Gunk : Howard Stern
October 11
Monique is a radio addict, with particular emphasis on Howard Stern. She has developed an audience which is both loyal and interactive; they talk about anything from what Stern is up to and pop culture in general. The forum is one of the most diverse on the subject of radio and pop culture venturing into Politics, social issues and other items of interest.
As the giant freight train that is Howard Stern continues, and with his accruing yet more outrageous amounts of wealth, his show has not only carried some notable guests, it's had it's share of performative cruelty; one only has to remember the treatment of the late Dana Plato, a vulnerable woman who got the sharp end of Howards' tongue, who left the studio and promptly killed herself.
Although the show wasn't probably the direct causes of Plato's final actions, she had many problems, but it certainly didn't help and with the knowledge of what happened subsequently, extremely uncomfortable listening
But Stern is still there, with a considerable following. Is it all fake? Or is Stern as he sounds on the radio? These are questions which fascinate people, even outside radio 'geeks'.
Monique has an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of those involved with the Stern phenomenon. She talks to Ed Opperman about how the sidekicks have not prospered, despite being part of the team which got paid $90m. No one seems to have come out of their association with Stern unblemished.
