Joining the show is Jay R. Tunney, the son of legendary boxer Gene Tunney who will talk about his book The Prizefighter and the Playwright that chronicles the unlikely friendship between the champion boxer and world-famous playwright, George Bernard Shaw, a book that offers an extraordinary insight into the World Heavyweight Champion -- and uncommon love story. Also with us, the recently retired Light Heavyweight Champion, Glen Johnson, nicknamed The Gentleman and the Road Warrior. Rounding out the hour is Rick Encinosa. Rick is an author and boxing historian, considered one of the top ten boxing historians worldwide. It’s going to be a knockout of a show, we promise. That’s September 5, 3 pm ET.

Coming up on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, August 29, 3 pm ET: Liberty. In these turbulent times in American history, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show will be exploring freedom, the one thing that all Americans believe in and the one thing that binds our often fractious nation together. Be it symbol, be it thought, be it an icon, be it relic, an individual, a cultural phenomenon…freedom is at the very heart of who we are as a people. We’ll be speaking with Professor Jonathan Zimmerman about his book American Small Wonder -- the Little Red Schoolhouse and the impact that American wonder had on our history; with Professor Gary B. Nash about his work, The Liberty Bell; to Professor Edward Berenson author of The Statue of Liberty, A Transatlantic Story, and to Raymond W. Smock, director of the Robert C.

  As the 2012 election season picks up steam, it becomes clear: there's an elephant in this room. No, we're not talking healthcare, the economy, or job creation--on Thursday, July 12 at 9 PM EST, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show is talking Mormonism. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is a Mormon. If elected, he would be our nation’s first Mormon president. But too many are shying away from discussing Romney’s religion, leaving Americans in the dark about the reality of this often heavily sensationalized topic. Are Mormons real-life versions of hapless missionaries on an ill-conceived journey, as written by the creators of South Park in the hugely popular Book of Mormon? Are they polygamists? Cultists? Christians? What does Romney's candidacy mean for the Mormon community, and for the White House's unbroken streak of firmly Christian presidents? And what do American reactions to Mormonism--be they silence or sensationalism--mean for us, and for our country?  Joining us on the show is David Mason, of Rhodes College and author of “My Mormonism: A Primer for Non-Mormons and Mormons, Alike"; by Adam Christing, author and filmmaker behind the in-progress Romney campaign film "A Mormon President"; by Columbia University's Professor Richard Bushman, himself a prominent member of the LDS Church and author of a host of books on Mormonism; and by Richard Packham, a noted scholar and member of the Ex-Mormon Foundation.

For a subject so loosely defined, there’s no arguing the American obsession with it; we are a beauty culture, always seeking the next angle on looking good. But can we be too vain? Or is looking good and having a positive body image, not vanity, but a road to a long, healthy and happy life? It’s a question for us all, whether we’re 27, 37 or 57. And Dr. Nicholas Perricone, the author of three New York Times #1 Best Sellers, “The Perricone Promise,” “The Perricone Prescription” and” The Wrinkle Cure,” the holistic healthcare pioneer, prominent dermatologist and founder of the science-based skin care company Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals will answer it on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show on  June 28 from 9-10 pm EST.  Dr. Perricone, a frequent guest on Oprah and 20/20 has uncovered the secrets to aging gracefully, beautifully and feeling your absolute best with his holistic approach to living well. That’s why we’re bringing you an entire hour with the brilliant man, known as the father of the Inflammation Theory of Aging, who has changed the lives of women and men alike and might just change yours, too.
