Bruno Serato, owner of the Anaheim White House Restaurant and founder of
Caterina's Club, feeds literally thousands of children and families every day, and he's
raising money so his Caterina's foundation can continue feeding literally thousands
every day who would otherwise go hungry. And he joins us today to talk about it.
Just last week, SoCal powerhouse radio station #KFIam640 (where my husband hosts
the #JohnKobyltShow), teamed up with Bruno, Smart & Final, Wendy's, and De Cecco
pasta to raise money and bunches of pasta and sauce so Bruno could continue doing
what he does best - feeding hungry people. And the mission has been affectionately
called #Pastathon.

Already, they've raised close to $1-million dollars, and the campaign is still going, and
he'll talk about how you can help. Now that's A LOT of Pasta!
Bruno has become a friend over the years, and many of us call him a saint. His
generosity was inspired by his mom, Caterina, who gave him the inspiration to feed
hungry children in nearby Anaheim. He took the challenge, and so many years later,
he's been recognized by Time Magazine, CNN Heros, the Pope, and others around the
globe.

We will talk with Bruno about his humble beginnings before moving to the United
States, where his restaurant quickly became a fixture in Southern California. But he's
faced plenty of tough times, too, like when his restaurant burned to the ground a few
years ago, and his first thought was, "how will I feed the children." He rebuilt, and came
back stronger than ever.

Please join me in welcoming Bruno Serato on all audio and video platforms of
#DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and our #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your
host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and I thank you for joining me.

There's a lot of talk about the changes in Hollywood, a city that has been at the center
of moviemaking and TV production for nearly a century. So we invited producer and
writer Alexia Melocchi, who co-authored the book, "The Heart of Show Business," to
talk about what's really happening in this city of dreams. Alexia will discuss in detail a
road map to navigating how work is getting done in this new era.
"The Heart of Show Business" speaks with industry professionals from writers,
directors, actors, athletes, and more, discussing how to stay ahead and win at every
level. Each chapter offers career insights and professional advice from with a variety
of successful individuals, including Blair Underwood, Keith Mitchell, Rev. Michael
Beckwith, Jean-Michel Cousteau and many others. I found it deeply interesting to dive
into the mindset of industry pros, a terrific tool for any profession.
But in the ever-changing entertainment industry, it's critical to stay one step ahead.
Whether it's Ai, digital, the business of acting, where the industry is headed,
or how to learn the ABC's of filmmaking, Alexia offers an interesting perspective on
what's next.

Got high cholesterol? There's ways to manage it, and I'll be speaking with nutrition
expert Amy Riolo & Dr. Simon Poole about their latest book, "Managing Cholesterol
for Dummies." This is a comprehensive look into how we can manage cholesterol,
inflammation, and oxidation levels in our bodies, in addition to addressing who might
be at cardiovascular risk and how to safely manage it.

The duo will show us easy lifestyle changes and healthy recipes to incorporate into
our every day lives. We will also discuss how to understand "good" and "bad"
cholesterol, because a lot has changed in recent years.

Also, we could be at risk for cardiovascular disease and not even know it, and we will
discuss those early warning signs. In addition, Amy and Simon will guide to us on
what to ask our doctors, because let's face it, we often go to the doctor's office and
leave with our questions unanswered. As for medicines, they will discuss treatment
options, medicines, and holistic approaches to cholesterol management. So there's a
lot to go over.

Amy Riolo and Dr. Simon Poole have written a variety of "Dummies" books guiding us
to better health and nutrition. I'm honored to welcome them back to our show to
discuss managing cholesterol, something we eventually all need.

Please find my full conversation with Amy Riolo and Dr. Simon Poole 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 our show internationally-acclaimed photographer, artist, and
author Claudio Santini, whose thought-provoking work has inspired much reflection.
When I visited Claudio in his Los Angeles studio recently, I felt I was in the presence
of a true genius. His work spoke to me, including his latest collection, focused on
capturing a quiet mental state to inspire a better humanity. Today, we'll speak to
Claudio about his life and work, including an exhibit in Naples, Italy, currently running
through December.

Claudio was born and raised in Rome, Italy, and developed an early passion for
photography. He started his career as an architectural photographer, later exploring
the intersection of photography and painting through mixed media. Upon moving to
Los Angeles, his work was featured in the New York Times, LA Times, and Domus.
You've likely seen his work featured in major magazines, too.

And in a world focused on Ai, I wanted to showcase the work of someone inspired by
everyday events, people, and nature. Claudio captures the humanity of life just that
way, pure and innocent, with texture.

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

When famed tenor and songwriter Pasquale Esposito was growing up in Naples, Italy,
the music of Enrico Caruso would play throughout his house, inspiring him to sing at
the local church in town. His dream was to come to America, to study and eventually
perform. And that's exactly what he did.

Fast forward twenty-five years, and Pasquale is now performing internationally to
critical acclaim, and on Dec. 10, he'll perform along side world-renowned conductor
Maestro Carlo Ponti on the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California, presenting a
magical Holiday concert of American and Italian traditions through spirited carols and
emotional Neapolitan melodies. And I'm honored to speak with both gentlemen today
on my show.

I've known Carlo for some time now, and not only am I a huge fan of his work, but I
admire his incredible talent and creative style. I'm also honored to call him a friend.
Most people know he's the eldest son of the beautiful and talented Ms. Sophia Loren
and filmmaker Carlo Ponti, and one can only imagine life growing up among such
talent. But not only did Carlo inherit his parents gift of performance, he's lived his life
in service of the arts, having founded the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra, which raises
awareness and funds for music education in the Los Angeles area.

He shares his gift of philanthropy with Pasquale, who founded Notable Music and
Arts, a non-profit focused on promoting cultural exchange through music, dance,
theater, film, visual arts, and literature. We'll talk with both of them about this, in
addition to their work, life, and upcoming performance at the Broad on 12/10.

Please find my full conversation with Maestro Carlo Ponti and Tenor Pasquale
Esposito on all video and audio podcast platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE,
#LittleItalyPodcast, and the #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast.

welcome to our show an extraordinary woman, filmmaker, and human rights activist, Jihan K, whose documentary, "My Father and Qaddafi," unravels the disappearance of her dad, Mansur Rashid Kikhia, a peaceful opposition leader to Muammar Qaddafi who vanished when she was just six-years-old. The film seeks to piece together her mother's 19-year search to find her husband. Without any memory of her father, Jihan tries to reconnect with him and reconcile with her Libyan identity, taking on a reflective journey as she tries to piece together the memory of a man she barely remembers. Mansur Rashid Kikhia served as Libya's foreign minister, ambassador to the United Nations, and was a human rights lawyer. For many, he was a rising star who could have been the next leader of Libya. After serving under Qaddafi, he defected from the government and became an opposition leader. In 1993, he disappeared from his hotel in Egypt, never to be seen again. Jihan's mother, Baha Al Omary, a strong-willed Syrian-American artist, began searching for him, launching the family into an international political maze. Nineteen hears later, his body was found in a freezer near Qaddafi's palace. Through encounters with family, her father's colleagues, and historical archives, Jihan's search for truth evolves into a deeper curiosity, and we'll talk about that. Please find my full interview with Jihan on all video and audio podcast platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

If you've got issues with your gut, including chronic bloating and pain, it could signify an overgrowth of candida. What's that? Tune into our show with immunologist specialist and author Dr. Dean Mitchell, who wrote, "Conquering CANDIDA, The 30-DAY PROTOCOL for Restoring Your Microbiome and Health." This is a comprehensive look into what might be going on in your gut, more specifically, the overgrowth of candida.

What is candida, what are the symptoms, how is it diagnosed, and how to get relief? Dr. Mitchell will cover all the bases, discuss the four stages of candida, and offer a 30-day nutritional plan to alleviate issues associated with candida, which can often go undiagnosed. In a nutshell, candida overgrowth is an imbalance in the normal levels of candida in the body, caused by a variety of things including antibiotics.

Symptoms include a weakened immune system, bloating, abdominal pain, fatigue, and more. During our interview, we'll get to the bottom of it so people can get answers and ultimately relief. Dr. Mitchell is a board-certified immunologist and a pioneer in holistic immunology. He is the founder of Mitchell Medical Group, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of candida overgrowth, mast cell activation syndrome, in addition to toxic mold exposure. Please join my conversation with Dr. Dean Mitchell on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

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.
