Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn’t about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn’t about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectation.  This tool was laid to rest inside a forest floor.  To experience the elements of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.  But whose writing it?  Welcome to The Resurrection… Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, a Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them TogetherInterviews Available February 2-7, and Upon Requesthttps://jancressdondi.com/ Beginning early on August 1, 1943, Operation Tidal Wave was a risky mission aimed at destroying high-octane fuel production vital to Nazi Germany.  It involved the first-ever zero-altitude air raid just 150 feet above the ground – but chances of success were ranged between 50% and suicide.  In missions to destroy fuel-rich Ploesti, Romania, 2,432 US bomber crewmen went missing, became POW’s or were killed in action.   Jan Cress Dondi shares the inside story surrounding this historic mission in the new book, THE NAVIGATOR’S LETTER: The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, a Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them Together (Union Square & Co., February 10, 2026).  The connected war stories of her uncle, John B. White, and her father, Bob Cress, are captured in the letters they both wrote to the same woman, Polley, who became Jan’s mother.  Both John B. and Bob became navigators on B-24 Bombers, both flew multiple combat missions in Europe, and both were forced down over the hotly targeted oilfields of Ploesti, Romania.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.

William Morrow is thrilled to publish RETRIBUTION: A US Marine's Fight for Justice, from the Russian Gulag to Ukraine's Front Lines by Trevor Reed on January 27, 2026. As the war in Ukraine remains complicated, Reed shares his firsthand perspective on the conflict, along with an unprecedented, first person account of life in the Russian gulag.In August 2019, Trevor Reed, a former US Marine and Presidential Guard, was arrested in Russia on false, trumped-up charges. For three years, he was imprisoned in the infamous Russian gulag, where the inhumane treatment threatened his health so severely his parents and the U.S. government feared for his life. After losing roughly fifty pounds from his already trim body, he was released in a 2022 prisoner swap that dominated headlines. Most people would go home, try to move on with their lives, and forget the horrors they endured. But not Trevor Reed.Reed trained relentlessly to regain his health and strength, aiming to volunteer in Ukraine to fight the Russians and seek revenge. Having faced Russian cruelty up close, he knew what the Ukrainians were experiencing, and he knew he could help them. Just six months after being released from prison, Reed smuggled himself into Ukraine. He fought in one of the hottest fronts of the war . . . until one dark night a comrade stepped on a land mine. Reed almost lost his leg and his life, barely making it home to Texas alive. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

An expansive new documentary chronicling the extraordinary life, influence, and global legacy of world-renowned Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass aka "the real life Indiana Jones" will be released worldwide on January 20, 2026. Tthe film offers unprecedented access to the man who transformed how the modern world understands ancient Egypt.Directed by acclaimed documentarian Jeffrey Roth (The Wonder of It All, HBO's 41, CNN Films' President in Waiting), the film blends epic history, intimate character study, and real-time geopolitical tension into one cinematic journey-captured across Egypt's most sacred and rarely filmed archaeological sites.With his iconic fedora and commanding presence, Dr. Hawass became the real-life inspiration for Hollywood's original Indiana Jones and the most recognizable face of Egyptology for generations. The Man with the Hat takes audiences inside 4,000-year-old tombs, newly opened excavations, and historic locations never before seen on camera, many filmed for the first time with full access granted by Egyptian authorities.At its core, the film traces the extraordinary journey of a boy from a small village in Egypt's Nile Delta who rose to become one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People, Egypt's former Minister of Antiquities, a global cultural ambassador, and fierce protector of heritage, and ultimately the world's foremost interpreter of ancient Egypt. Director Jeffrey Roth brings cinematic scope and a deeply personal perspective to the project, filming on location throughout Egypt under extraordinary circumstances, including active regional conflict during production.No single individual has done more to protect Egypt's antiquities or bring ancient history to= global audiences. Dr. Hawass' groundbreaking work - including investigations into Cleopatra's burial site, the death of King Tutankhamun, and major new discoveries throughout Egypt - reshaped both scholarship and popular culture. As cultural heritage faces renewed threats amid geopolitical instability, The Man with the Hat captures a living legend in the twilight of his most ambitious undertakings, offering rare insight into the personal cost, global responsibility, and enduring impact of safeguarding humanity's shared past. Nearly every major studio and international network has relied on Dr. Hawass as their gateway to ancient Egypt, underscoring his unparalleled role in shaping what the world sees and understands about antiquity."The Man with the Hat grew from my lifelong fascination with ancient Egypt - from watching programs where Dr. Hawass was always the one who transported you back in time. I knew this had to be a human story set against the grandeur of Egypt itself. We shot for weeks across the country's most stunning archaeological landscapes. During our final days of filming, conflict erupted just 170 miles from our base. Some crew members left. Others stayed. The volatility, the uncertainty - it all became part of the story. Filming with Dr. Hawass is its own phenomenon. Crowds appear instantly. You see how deeply Egypt loves him and how recognized he is around the world. My goal was to explore the man behind the legend - the tireless, complex figure who has shaped how the world understands ancient Egypt."

ABOUT NAT SEGALOFF'S BOOK HURRICANE BILLYOriginally published in 1990, Hurricane Billy: The Stormy Life and Films of William Friedkin is at last available again with a new foreword and extensive afterword written in assessment of William Friedkin's career following his 2023 death. Biographer Nat Segaloff draws upon his fifty-year friendship with the controversial director of The French Connection, The Exorcist, To Live and Die in L.A., Cruising, and his greatest achievement, Sorcerer.. This was the first book to offer an intimate portrait of the director. BearManor Media is proud to bring this work back into print. Nat Segaloff's Hurricane Billy: The Stormy Life and Films of William Friedkin is an in-depth look at this mercurial filmmaker of "The French Connection," "The Exorcist," Sorcerer" and other dynamic classics. Billy (his friends called him that) was as explosive as his movies. He was known to hit actors, shoot off a handgun to get an effect, and tell people off to their faces regardless of the consequences. Nat knew him for 50 years and wrote "The Exorcist Legacy" (2023) as well as more than 30 other books, mostly about movies. "Hurricane Billy" was written with Friedkin's participation in 1990 and is being republished after disappearing on its publication 35 years ago.ABOUT THOMAS CLAGETT'S WILLIAM FRIEDKIN: FILMS OF ABERRATION, OBSESSIIN & REALITYWilliam Friedkin: Films of Aberration, Obsession, and Reality was first published in 1990 and has been massively revised and expanded it for this new 2026 edition. It covers all of Friedkin's films in detail, and explores the connections between the man and his movies, as well as their cinematic legacy. It is incredibly provocative in showing how Friedkin's films reflect not only the man who made them but also the world he lives in. Tom went to USC and worked on "The Two Jakes" and "St. Elsewhere" as an assistant editor and since then has won awards for his books in the genre of historical fiction.
