• Kathie Lee Gifford — Co Host of NBC’s Today Show, Author, Drew’s Longsuffering Friend

  She’s BAAAAACK! Drew’s most favourite guest in the whole wide world is back to tell us about her brand new children’s book, Messy M'Cheany! When it comes to a mess, this kid is the best! However, as soon as Messy meets his new baby sister, Missy, he realizes that she does not share the same fondness for messes, but instead loves to be clean! How will he learn to get along with a sister who is so different? Kathie Lee's new rhyming picture book teaches children that though being messy is fun, changing bad habits for baby sisters and brothers is the best thing any sibling can do!

• Tarek Fatah — Author, Broadcaster, Founder of The Muslim Canadian Congress

  Tarek Fatah is the author of The Jew is Not My Enemy, a widely acclaimed book that investigates the roots of Muslim anti-Semitism. His earlier book Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State, in which he argues that the Prophet never meant for an Islamic State but rather a spiritual state of Islam, was short-listed for the prestigious Donner Prize. He is a frequent contributor to the National Post. Born in Pakistan where he was a leftwing student leader and was imprisoned twice for his part in opposing successive military dictatorships, he lived for a decade in the Middle East before moving to Canada in 1987 where he has been involved as a political activist and writer on the liberal-left spectrum of Canadian public life. Tarek is one of this year’s presenters at the prestigious ideacity11 conference here in Toronto, which begins Wednesday June 15th.

  When Drew sat in on one of Ken Whiteley's “Gospel Brunch” performances at Hugh's Room in Toronto, he was blown away by one of Ken’s guest performers. A cheeky young girl whose whisky soaked voice almost stole the show! Samantha Martin’s heroines — Lucinda Williams, Mary Gauthier, Ruth Brown, Etta James and Mavis Staples — have helped shape her unique tough and tender sound.

• The Counsel Of Many!

  Need Help or Advice On An Issue In Your Life?
  Tell us your situation and Drew will ask the listeners of TDMS!
  
  This week on the Counsel of Many:a husband wants advice on how to help his wife who claims to have seen Jesus and angels. He wants to believe her but is having a tough time.
  
  "My wife and I are both saved and we believe in God. Now in the past my wife has claimed to have gone to Heaven. This was a few years back. Her accounts line up very closely to the book "Heaven Is For Real" as to what she saw. Fast forward until now...the last few days she’s been sick and in bed with a bad cold and/or flu. She has been having a rough week and missed her appointment today with her Christian therapist whom she has been seeing for a few years now. My wife has said to me several times this week that she has seen Jesus again and He told her that everything will be alright and to hold on. She is also claiming to see guardian angels, four of them. Three are on watch or guard and one, whom she described as a female, is present with her. I do not doubt her, so that is not my issue. However I do not see the angels nor hear them, so I must take her word for it. My question is this. What do I do as her husband to support her and care for her? She has been sad and crying plus feeling very sick. We have an appointment with the family doctor to get her cold looked at. What do I do about her seeing Jesus and guardian angels? How do I support her or maybe even talk with them?"
  
  

• If you knew that the condition of your body or mind would soon become unbearable, would you consider taking your own life, possibly through doctor assisted suicide?

  Dr. Death – Jack Kevorkian, died last week at the age of 83. He became a notorious physician assisted suicide advocate and was responsible for helping more than 100 people end their lives. According to a recent poll, 48% believe it to be immoral, while 45% consider it to be moral. WWYD?
  
  

• TDMS Banter

  The beginning and the end of the show is like any good sandwich. The stuff in the middle is what it's all about - The rest is just crust! Sometimes it's worth listening to. Sometimes - not so much.
