What's Your Story? Radio show encourages listeners to 'dream bigger'
Central Wisconsin woman shares inspirational stories
By Madison Heid • For Central Wisconsin Sunday • August 22, 2010
Hilary Bilbrey, 37, of Stevens Point wears a lot of hats. She is a wife and mother of three, author, teen leadership trainer, founder and CEO of the Inspired by Family organization, and, most recently, a radio host.
Her show, titled "What's Your Story?," is broadcast through TogiNet Radio (www.toginet.com), an Internet radio station based in Texas, from 9 a.m. to
10 a.m. Fridays. The purpose of the show, Bilbrey said, is to inspire and motivate listeners.
"I seek out people who are actively living their lives with integrity," she said.
Bilbrey uses Skype to interview her sources, and does the entire show from her home.
"As a mom of three little kids, this is just perfect for me," Bilbrey said. "I'm a mom first; I'm not looking to be the next Oprah."
Bilbrey was discovered by Stacey Kannenberg, with whom she had been in correspondence about independent publishing. Kannenberg had asked Bilbrey to appear on her radio show, and after a chance encounter during a book signing in Stevens Point, Kannenberg offered Bilbrey her own radio show.
"I loved her platform, and I thought she had a lot to say," Kannenberg said.
Bilbrey's hour-long radio show typically focuses on one individual and shares that person's story. An interview with Lisa Calderone-Stewart, director and founder of Tomorrow's Present, a youth leadership program in Milwaukee, who has out-lived her cancer prognosis, is a perfect example of the message Bilbrey's show aims to promote.
"She should be gone already," Bilbrey said, "but she is living every single day trying to promote the importance of teen leadership and how we need to mentor teens now because they are our future."
An interview with 18-year-old Stefani Kurutz, also made an impact on Bilbrey. The teen suffers from a debilitating spinal disorder, and planned a benefit concert, Music with a Backbone, to raise funds for an organization that aims to find a cure for her condition.
"I think these stories really help us dream bigger," Bilbrey said. "This show is about finding what you are passionate about and learning to live that passion every day.
"The feedback from listeners has been really humbling and inspiring."
In fact, the show is featured in the Top 100 podcasts for Kids & Family on iTunes, and currently ranks at No. 81.
Bilbrey said she also is seeking stories from local individuals to share on her radio show. She encourages central Wisconsin residents to e-mail her with ideas at hilary.bilbrey@inspired byfamily.com.
"(This) has been the most amazing, wild ride ever," Bilbrey said. "It has been such a blessing to do the show."

Comedian Keith Wann Brings Talk Radio to ASL Community
Comedic Timing is Everything When Addressing Cultural Diversity
Clearwater, FL-ASL comedian Keith Wann, adds the title of premiere ASL talk radio host to his list of ongoing endeavors within the ASL community. Over the past twenty years in entertainment, Wann has become a leading figure in his industry as an entrepreneur and bilingual ASL comedian of international acclaim. Wann's show, titled That Keith Wann Show-Cultural Bridges, launches on August 4th from 8:00-9:00 pm EST, on the Toginet talk radio network. Wann will host guests; Windell "Wink" Smith Jr., Director of Outreach & Video Communications of Sign Language Resource Services, Inc., Inspirational, bi-lingual and bi-cultural Speaker, Lisa Callsen, and Stand-up Comedian Lianna Carrera.
Addressing the launch of his unique show, Wann states, "My goal is to offer the deaf community insight and connection to the hearing world in all media forms, and vice versa. Talk radio is an extension of my continued efforts to connect to the hearing, ASL and Coda communities in shared experiences and entertainment." Wann views his upcoming show as a potential study tool for ASL teachers and students. "It is imperative that ASL students, new and veteran interpreters, and professors in diverse fields of the ASL industry, understand this show as a valuable resource to reference. Talk radio is yet another outlet that will help put a voice on their profession. Guests requiring an interpreter will be featured periodically, and will offer further context to the personal and professional headway, that the deaf and Coda communities have made in connecting with the hearing world." Each of Wann's guest interviews will be interpreted in sign language for access on YouTube the following day.
Reflecting an important need for the community, Wann views his show as a pivotal tool in opening up further connective opportunities among his counterparts and following base. Cultural Bridges will offer an educational platform for listeners to share life experiences, inspirational stories, and industry expertise among each other. Guests will include a wide range of talent from Wann's non-profit organization coda365.org (children of deaf adults) and ASL community. Interviews will focus on issues appealing to listeners, from the perspective of ASL and CODA entertainers, teachers, interpreters and industry professionals.
Recognized as the producer of the ASL Comedy Tour with wife Emilia, ASL Across America and manager of interpreter video service company callVRS.org, Wann is acclaimed as the funniest and most diverse ASL comedian on the circuit. He has become a leading force in allowing the deaf community to experience entertainment and programming from a hearing point of view. Wann's notoriety among the ASL audience, has led to TV features on Law and Order, Pepsi Super Bowl commercials, and a constantly growing following on Facebook and YouTube.
Growing up in the Bay area of Northern California as the hearing son of two deaf parents, Wann brings a previously undiscovered genre to the talk radio scene. "I feel like a deaf person who has a handicap for hearing. ASL is my first language. It's in my heart," says Wann of his dual citizenship in the hearing and deaf communities. Wann's passion, ease and highly developed ASL skill, combined with an instinctive ability to connect with both his deaf and hearing environments, make him one of the most sought after and highly credentialed interpreters on the ASL speaking circuit. Comedic appearances and speaking engagements on cruises, college campuses, ASL conventions, educational conferences and entertainment venues, have caused the media to take a more in depth interest of the coda365.org founder-a pattern Wann hopes to continue as the industry's first ASL focused talk radio host. Captivating his audience with a fresh spin on cultural diversity, Wann will engage his listeners in meaningful, serious and comedic discussions as he bridges the gap between his two native worlds.

Times Picayune
Monday, June 28, 2010 By Brendan McCarthy Staff writer
The attorney for the former New Orleans police officer charged with killing Henry Glover in the days after Hurricane Katrina says his client isn't responsible for the death and suggests that other officers fatally shot Glover in the head.
Joseph Albe, the attorney for former officer David Warren, asserts that Warren played no role in a police cover-up and that other officers, at one point shortly after the hurricane, showed Warren a photo of Glover and asked him whether that was the man he shot at. Warren couldn't identify him, according to his attorney.
Albe said he thinks Warren's former police colleagues have hung him out to dry, leaving him to take the bulk of the blame.
Albe gave his first extensive explanation of Warren's alleged actions Thursday night in an hourlong interview on "Politically Correct," an obscure, Christian radio show broadcast on the website TogiNet.com.
The interview provides a window into Warren's likely defense in the high-profile civil rights case and also raises new allegations against other officers.
Warren was indicted two weeks ago in federal court and is facing a life sentence in prison if convicted, along with the possibility of a death sentence.
Four other current or former officers were also charged in the case, though their charges allege different roles, from burning Glover's body to helping fabricate reports and cover up the matter. They are Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann, officer Greg McRae, former Lt. Robert Italiano and Lt. Travis McCabe.
Warren is being held in federal custody without bond. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten, whose office is assisting the Justice Department's prosecutors, said the investigation into the Glover case is ongoing.
In the radio interview, Albe portrays Warren as a successful businessman with five children who joined the NOPD in 2004 while in his 40s, hoping to serve the public. After the hurricane, amid disorder in the city and disarray in the police ranks, Warren was posted with a partner outside a satellite police bureau in an Algiers strip mall.
Federal prosecutors claim Warren shot Glover as he approached the strip mall. Albe claims the man Warren shot at was "charging" toward the businesses to loot items with a companion.
Glover was shot in the chest at precisely that location on that day, according to a stranger, William Tanner, who said he and two companions drove Glover to a nearby police compound for assistance. There, they were beaten, and a pair of police officers eventually drove off with a vehicle containing Glover's body, prosecutors allege. That vehicle was torched, nearly incinerated, on the batture of the levee, behind the NOPD's 4th District Station.
It is unclear when exactly Glover died. The car, and Glover's charred remains, stayed on the levee for several weeks. At one point, a pair of hurricane recovery workers filmed the vehicle, which held a skull with two small holes in it.
When Glover's remains were later recovered, the skull was missing.
Blaming other officers
Albe suggested last week that other officers shot Glover in the head. In the radio interview, he pointed to the NOPD's own internal investigation, conducted four years after the incident, which cited a Border Patrol agent who said he heard gunshots near the levee that day and saw a plume of smoke rise shortly later.
"For whatever reason, the people that did it apparently felt that it was something that was necessary to be done to cover up a crime," Albe said.
"This is the main part of our defense. Assuming that Dave's shot hit Glover and he (Glover) was one of the people that charged the building, Glover didn't die from that gunshot wound. There is no forensic or physical evidence that we are aware of that proves when Glover died, how Glover died or why Glover died."
Scheuermann and McRae are the two officers who allegedly seized the vehicle and burned Glover's body on the levee.
Scheuermann's attorney, Roger Kitchens, called Albe's allegations "outlandish."
"We have no comment but to say we will be able to prove our case in court, and when that comes, Dwayne Scheuermann will be vindicated," Kitchens said Friday.
McRae's attorney did not return a request for comment.
Reported missing
On Nov. 16, 2005, Glover's mother reported her son missing at the NOPD's 4th District station. She mentioned the location and date of the shooting, an alleged beating at the makeshift police compound, followed by officers driving off in a car with Glover's body, according to the police report.
In his radio interview, Albe suggests that police pieced the different events together weeks after the incident.
"The police at the time had an idea that Glover may be the one that Dave encountered. They brought a photograph of Glover to Dave and asked if he could identify him and Dave said: 'No, I can't, I couldn't identify the guy even if I saw him again. It was just too quick.'"
Albe said investigators from the NOPD's internal affairs unit were involved.
"When there was possibly a connection made, what the police did is they made two reports. One a missing-person (report) with Glover; and two, a discharging of a firearm with Dave."
The shooting report, written up as a "miscellaneous incident," was written two weeks after Edna Glover reported her son missing. That same day, police higher-ups transferred David Warren into the NOPD's 4th District from the 7th District.
"The people who were responsible for the death of Glover have made Dave the patsy ... saying, 'We are covering your back,' when actually they are holding him out like a sacrificial lamb," Albe said. "Just like Jesus. And Jesus was crucified for something he didn't do. Dave is being crucified for something he didn't do."
The hourlong radio interview ended with the host, John Martin, imploring his listeners: "Pray for Dave Warren, pray for Joe Albe, they've got a lot of work ahead of them."
