David Goldblum's short film, "Big Rock Burning," is creating a lot of good heat for the
pointed questions it's raising since the devastating fires that charred thousands of
properties in Malibu and the Palisades (not to mention Altadena), and he joins our
program LIVE to talk about his film and the harrowing experiences so many have had
since leaving their homes on January 7th, returning to the ashes of a life that so many
are struggling to put back together.

The film depicts the stories of 49 Malibu residents impacted by the fires, and
chronicles the resilient spirit of the residents of Big Rock, and their intent to rebuild.
But little has happened in the months that have followed, and while people are still
grieving, they want action and accountability. David says residents have been left to
fend for themselves to sort through government red-tape and insurance nightmares,
and they're growing weary. Their stories have attracted some celeb residents as well,
such as Mark Hamill and Ricki Lake, who talks about losing her home and the
emotional impact it's had on her and her friends and neighbors.

Malibu is a multi-generational community and so many have lived in their homes since
childhood. And while it's a peaceful community, it's not without its challenges, too, and
the fire dangers are one of them. People know the risks, but many say they don't
expect the lack of help and resources from local government, and the film addresses
that.

Please join our full interview with David Goldblum on all video and audio platforms of
#DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please encourage your friends to join, too. I'm your host,
#DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. The film is currently
in the middle of its Oscar-qualifying theatrical run through 9/18 at the Laemmle in
Santa Monica, so if you're close by, here's your opportunity to see it.

Please welcome to our show James Tumminia, award-winning actor, producer, and lover of all things Italian, beloved for his role as Angelo in the TV series, "Melissa & Joey" and much more. And we'll be talking with James about his work and how he gets his fix of Italian food and culture in this great city of LA.

As a kid growing up in an Italian-American neighborhood in Brooklyn, James Tumminia knew two things: he loved all things Italian, and he wanted to be an actor. And he's living both.

I first met James at an event at the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles, and noticed he seemed to be at every Italian gathering throughout the city - and there's many. So I thought it appropriate to invite him to talk about all things Italian, in addition to his life and career, as part of Italian-American Heritage Month.

James studied Italian at Georgetown, which led him to living, studying, and working in Florence. He played Mario in "Two Scoops of Italy" a Hallmark film, and has been involved on the producer side of many projects, including, "Love, Guilda," "1st Strike," and many more.

James said he feels the guidance of his ancestral grandparents, all four born in Italy, and he became an Italian citizen in 2009. He's currently working on a project he's super excited about, "PER CHI," a short doc he's producing. We'll be talking about that.

And while James hails from NY and moved to LA to pursue a career in entertainment, he says Italy always feels like home, which is why he frequents so many Italian events in this great city.

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

Please welcome to my show Dr. Sherry Ross, an expert on menopause from her years
in practice as a beloved obstetrician and gynecologist practicing in Santa Monica. Dr.
Ross is also a two-time author, "she-ology: The Definitive Guide To Women's Intimate
Health. Period" and "she-ology, the she-quel," both tackling just about any question one
might have about women's bodies. And there's a lot.

For starters. Menopause. It used to be that word people whispered in the corner. No
more. Because ladies, we all go through it, and gents, your significant others, mom,
sister, daughters will go through it too. So let's understand it better, shall we?

During our conversation, I'll be speaking with Dr. Ross about hormones and hormone
replacement therapy. Is it safe (yes), when to start, and how to know what dosage is
right for you. Of course there's estrogen and progesterone replacement, and
testosterone, too. But for many women, hormones still remains a mystery, and we'll
dive deep to clear up any myths about what's safe, recommended, and the benefits,
too.

Dr. Ross will soon be launching a podcast the first of the year, "Paradox" with
renounced sex therapist Tammy Nelson. She's also in the wellness space,
recommending products that she thinks have been tested to help women at various
stages in their womanhood. We'll discuss. And men, this conversation is for you, too.
Let's all get on the same page about women's health for better clarity and
understanding.

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