BOB PARGAMENT
Certified Hypnotist and the Founder of the Westchester Hypnosis Center
BOB PARGAMENT has helped many people to tap into their internal powers
to achieve greater satisfaction and happiness in their personal lives,
by using hypnosis to challenge issues such as smoking cessation, weight
loss, fear melting, sports performance, intimacy enhancement, overcoming
worry and guilt, deep relaxation and memory improvement among others.
In this hour
Bob sits down with Angela to help clear up the misunderstanding that sometimes
surrounds hypnosis; he discusses the medical industry's growing recognition
of hypnosis as a legitimate course of treatment to enhance people's mental
and physical well-being and he also encourages listeners to seek out more
natural approaches to remedy their ailments, in lieu of the quick-fix
pharmaceutical approach.

BOB HOLMAN (encore broadcast)
POET
From Slam to Hip-Hop, from performance poetry to spoken word, Bob Holman
has been a central figure in the reemergence of poetry in American culture.
The series he produced for PBS, the United States of Poetry, features
over sixty poets including Derek Walcott, Rita Dove, Czeslaw Milosz, Lou
Reed and former President Jimmy Carter, as well as rappers, cowboy poets,
American Sign Language poets, and Slammers. In the 1990's he co-founded
the record label Mouth Almighty/Mercury Records, to bring poetry and spoken
word to a much broader audience and as a consequence of all his hard work
and passion he has appeared on TV: "Nightline," "Good Morning
America," "ABC News Magazine," MTV's "Spoken Word
Unplugged," and "The Charlie Rose Show," among others.
Today he sits down with Angela McKenzie on Initiative Radio for the first
time to talk about the first poem he ever penned, his move to New York
City which was inspired by the Beat Generation and poets like Allan Ginsberg
and Amiri Baraka; his own influence on the New York City poetry scene
for the past three decades and his current projects including his founding
The Bowery Poetry Club in 2002 and his goal to make it a home for emerging
poets and a cultural icon in New York City's lower east side.
