Inner Views

The goal is to find out who people really are and what makes them tick. Underlying it all is the belief that the more we know about each other, the more we become connected and compassionate. I seek to get underneath the "what" to understand the "why." The show is engaging, informative and fun.

Steve Huskey (8/18/10)
The defining moments in Steve's life were two near death experiences that took place 3 months apart. First he was kidnapped in Caracas, Venezuela, held at gunpoint and driven around the country for hours. He finally got free. The second was when he contracted meningitis, also in Venezuela. After arriving back in the U.S., he was told he had just hours to live. We hear these stories and how they changed him.

Lizzie Velasquez (8/11/10)
Lizzie has a syndrome so rare, it doesn't even have a name, and only 2 others in the world have it. No matter what or how much she eats, Lizzie can not keep weight on. At age 21, she weighs just 60 lbs and has zero body fat. She has written a book that just came out: Lizzie Beautiful.

Sean Quirk is the manager, producer and interpreter for the Tuvan throat singing ensemble, Alash. Raised in Milwaukee, Sean's passion for Tuvan music developed to the point where he got a Fulbright Fellowship to study the music in Tuva, decided to live there permanently, married a Tuvan woman, had some Tuvan babies, and now devotes his life to promoting Tuvan throat singing touring around the world. Listen to a sample of Alash's Tuvan throat singing. Sean can also throat sing—hear a clip of him from our interview. September 1: Stephen MacMillan Moser This show originally aired April 28, 2010. You know him as the Style Avatar of the Austin Chronicle. His bout with cancer is public as was his arrest last year on arson charges for setting his roommate's car on fire (which he did do). But you may not have known about his history of drug use or that his father committed suicide. Stephen holds pretty much nothing back in this honest and compelling interview. September 8: Natala Constantine 32-year-old Natala has struggled with her weight most of her life, reaching 420 pounds by age 21. When she was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes as an adult, her blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol were out of control. She was on 13 medications and had tried every diet, but nothing seemed to help. She developed arthritis, nerve damage, and a series of infections. When she developed a calf infection that her doctor said might require amputation, Natala decided to try "food as medicine" on the recommendation of a friend. She began to eat a whole-foods plant-based diet and, within 3 weeks, was no longer needing to take insulin. Six months later she was off all of her medications. Eighteen months later and she has lost over 150 pounds. Her vital signs are all normal and the arthritis, nerve damage and infections have gone away. September 15: Rob Hodges In 2005, Rob Hodges and his then-girlfriend Kate were in Guatemala, on a chicken bus heading to a lake town for a few days of relaxation. When the bus pulled off the main highway and began navigating winding hairpin-turn roads, they knew something was wrong. It turns out they were in the middle of an insurgency over sacred Mayan land. September 29: Anji Fussell Anji is a private investigator with her own firm, She Spies Private Eye, Inc. She specializes in child custody and infidelity cases. She also handles criminal investigations, missing persons and background investigations. What sets her and her team apart is their creative approach to getting the information they need . . . always within the law, of course. Tune in to hear some amazing stories.
