Promoting
There is never a bad time to promote, but the best time to promote is when you have just finished something great. The audience loves what they just heard. Help them know when they can get more!
Strike while the iron is hot. You just crushed a segment and people are fired up? THAT’S when you tell them what’s coming up tomorrow. That’s when you remind them about the podcast. That’s when you ask them to follow you on social. Momentum is everything. Don’t wait until the energy dies. Capitalize on it immediately. If they loved what they just heard, they want more of you. Give them the roadmap.
Besides the coaching tip of the day my daily prep also includes headlines making the news that day, essential pop culture updates, a topic of the day and a situation to use as phone topics, an impossible question, ten trivia questions, three hot takes, celebrity birthdays, horoscopes, today in history and today in music history. All curated with care and powered by Radio Content Pro.
Here are a few examples from today, May 27, 2026.
What’s Making News
China launches first Hong Kong astronaut to space station
Li Jiaying, a 43-year-old police officer and mother of three from Hong Kong, blasted off aboard China’s Shenzhou-23 spacecraft on Sunday night, marking a historic first for the region. She’s serving as the payload scientist on a three-member crew heading to China’s Tiangong space station. At least one crew member will spend a full year in orbit conducting key experiments, with authorities still deciding who that will be. This mission represents another major milestone in China’s ambitious space program and demonstrates the country’s expanding reach beyond its mainland borders.

Topic of the Day
Topic 1
Everything was fine until I found out ____________. Now, I can’t think of him/her the same way.
Impossible Question
Young people are 4x’s more likely to do this compared to older people: always keep their phone on mute
The Situation
I’m tall. We’re talking tall like a runway model. Not that I’m a runway model, but I am 6’1″. Now, my husband is more on the Danny DeVito side, standing proud at 5’2″. Yeah, he’s nearly a foot shorter than me.
To me, it’s funny. I laugh about it, and people love the odd couple. People watch us everywhere, along with occasional snide comments or jokes. At first, we both laughed about it. I still do. He no longer shrugs it off.
Now he’s trying to create distance between us when we’re out, like he’s embarrassed to be seen with me. So I asked him about it, and he told me I couldn’t understand what it’s like to be short. Come on. I’m freakishly tall for a woman, just like he’s dwarfish for a guy. It’s the same thing. And he suddenly has a complex about his height?
Well, there’s a solution. I heard of a medical procedure that could give him a couple of extra inches. He’d still be smaller, but it would get him up to maybe 5’5″, and maybe he’d feel better about himself—more confident. He did not take it well. He said I wouldn’t wear heels if I cared about his feelings. That’s where I draw the line. My booty looks great when I’m dolled up in heels.
I told him if he isn’t willing to consider a solution, he needs to stop being so insecure. We need to get back to laughing about it. There are just as many jokes about me being a giant as about him being a munchkin. He needs to figure this out because I’m not putting up with a lifetime of this crap. I’m right about this, aren’t I?
Trivia
Question 1
Which spice gives curry its yellow color? Turmeric
Whiner Wednesday
I had to decline the sale of alcohol to a man who reeked of booze and was practically falling asleep at my till. He tried to convince me that he wasn’t drunk; he was just blind. Still refusing to sell him the beer, he started yelling at me, accusing me of “being racist against the ‘blinds’.”

Today In History – May 27
1942
USS John F. Kennedy Launches into Service
Just four years after the president’s assassination, his widow Jacqueline Kennedy (along with their daughter Caroline) christened the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier bearing his name. The USS John F. Kennedy became a floating tribute to JFK’s legacy and a symbol of American naval power during the Cold War. It’s a poignant reminder of how national figures leave their mark on institutions that endure for generations.
Today In Music History – May 27
1994
The Eagles Fly Again After Fourteen Years
Eagles
The Eagles took the stage in Burbank for their first gig since 1980, and those two and a half hours showed they hadn’t lost a step—they even threw in two encores and closed with ‘Desperado.’ Breaking up and getting back together might be rock’s oldest tradition, but when you nail it this hard, who’s complaining?
