Robi, Max, and Pam

Authors Robi Kellerman and Pamela Fink are in the studio to talk about their first book, "Avocado Highway" a collection of 30 recipes that showcase the simplicity and versatility of avocados on toast. The cookbook was inspired by the authors' love of health and wellness and their knack for creative toast combinations. The recipes range from vegan to dessert.

He has been in publishing since 1970, involved with academic and scientific books as well as scientific journals and trade books.
In addition, Jeremy is a writer as well, and we also talk about his latest book, "Second Chances," about a soldier and his military working dog who are both suffering from PTSD.

Amy (Bowles) and Aaron Bellamy of the band The A-Beez are a part of the monthly RISE music series on March 22 at the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum, which pairs newcomers to the music world with those that have been around for awhile. The A-Beez are the latter, having been around since 2003 and before on other projects.
They've also got a new album coming out, "Second Chances," and RISE will also be an album release show. The album features 10 original tracks with an amazing cast of 20 world class musicians.

Hip-hop artist Natural Pharaoh doesn't let a lack of transportation prevent him from being on the show, and calls in to talk about his music career. He cites his father with being a strong influence, pushing him to perfect his style. He's also a producer, and has some new music in the works.
