Interview with author Michael Stern (www.thelucyfan.com)
Mike Pingel sits down with author Michael Stern and chats about his 10th anniversary of his book
"I Had a Ball: My Friendship with Lucille Ball"and his friendship with the queen of comedy.
The book is now out now on Amazon.com
I Had a Ball: In 1971, ten-year-old Michael Stern thought he had died and gone to heaven as he
watched a filming of Heres Lucy. He was enthralled with a redhead gifted with beauty,
stage presence, and the ability to make others laugh. Over the next few years, he would
attend several more filming, meet Lucy, and eventually become (in Lucys own words)
her number one fan.
In his memoir, Michael Stern offers a refreshing glimpse into the life of a natural comedienne
and actress as he provides a fascinating narrative on what it was like to become first a fan
and then a friend with one of the biggest television personalities of all time. Known to fans
simply as Lucy, she entertained millions of people across the world with shows like I Love
Lucy, The Lucy Show, and Heres Lucy. But to Michael, who was eventually allowed access into
her private world, she was a fascinating woman with whom he would share many unforgettable adventures.
I Had a Ball is a unique tribute to Lucys legacy, her spirit, her talent,
and her enthusiasm for life sure to entertain Lucy fans, television aficionados,
and comedy lovers around the world.

Interview with author Cody Renegar (https://www.codyrenegar.com/)
Mike Pingel sits down with Hollywood author Cody Renegar and chats about his brand new book,
"Changing the Stars: A Memoir." The book is now out now on Amazon.com
Changing the Stars is a powerful true story about how a boy survived and then overcame his family’s multigenerational
cycle of violence, neglect, and sexual abuse: Despite the odds against him, Cody Renegar grew up and became a loving father
and husband, successful hairstylist, and respected artist.Raised by a substance-abusing single mother, at four and a half
Cody and his four siblings were placed into the foster care system in Arkansas, leading to a series of placements in homes
where he endured unspeakable abuse and neglect. Cody found solace in his bonds with his brothers and sisters and occasional
kindnesses from caring adults, such as a neighbor who taught him to paint. When at seven he was adopted by an affluent
couple, he hoped at last to receive the love and support of a nurturing mother and father. But his dreams and expectations
were betrayed when his new father proved to be a violent disciplinarian. It would be eight years before his rescue
by an attentive school nurse, and years more to heal the trauma. The silver lining for Cody was his own resilience
and positive outlook. He never stopped reaching for a better life, and his optimistic, gregarious spirit was
never silenced or stifled.
Cody sees life as an adventure. He believes that we, not fate,
are in charge of our destiny. If needed, we can change the stars in the sky
