The Holidays are approaching and at 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries Podcast our shows themes every Sunday will be  turning to FAMILY and HONOR -SINCE MANY OF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT   BRINGING FAMILY TOGETHER, RECONNECTING , SEEKING CLOSURE ON ACCOUNT OF LOST ONES, seeking justice,  KEEPING THE PEACE. HONORING OUR FIRST RESPONDERS DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND BUILDING NEW RELATIONSHIPS.  
A FEW EXAMPLES: AT 1001 HEROES WE BRING NEW EPISODS EVERY Sunday at noon eastern and a 'best of "listener favorite every Thursday night at 9PM ET- MOST OF THESE Best ofs after Halloween will also carry similar themes that unite with these topics. I'll tag them as Fall Family and Honor Themed 
Beginning this last week of October and lasting through the holidays, we are offering a number of interview-base shows dealing with subjectS that go straight to the heart starting with "LIVE, LAUGH, AND FIND TRUE LOVE: A STEP BYSTEP GUIDE TO BUILDING   NEW RELATIONSHIPS- OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR AND LONG TIME L.A. DIVORCE ATTORNEY SARAH INTELLIGATOR- She is empowering, inspirational and packed with powerful tools to help you, male or female, to a healthy, fun and fulfilling relationship- whether youre on the brink of a marriage or just starting out or hoping to find a lasting love- don't miss this interview and book!

The following week Sunday NOV 2: Holidays are tough on the families of murder victims and missing relatives: A son's12 year long search for the killer of his father as we interview   California Congressman ,author, and law firm partner Mike Gatto- who is still actively searching for clues  to his fathers murder– And asking each of you to offer your theories and ideas as to new ways to look at the evidence which he lays out in his book Noir by Necessity And in this interview.  This book is a True Crime page turner with a powerful Family theme…
On Sunday Nov 9th  Retired Police Sgt Bert "Maverick" Gonzalez reminds us why families of those who are constantly working in service to others in police, military, and rescue throughout the holidays are sacrificing so much to keep the peace-- in his new book The Real Greatest Show on Earth- all lessons learned and stories told  gathered from his 40 years of service in Florida's Miami Dade county- it's a well told story that bridges the gap between crime scenes and calm and in a family sense, because it shows the important link between mental health and community engagement is just as important as tactics

Thesae are just three examples of our FALL FAMILY ORIENTED SHOWS AT 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries-now thru December is solid family, holiday-themes, honoring the men and women in uniform whose prence will be missed at many dinner tables this coming holiday,, and heart-felt stories and advice.

One more thing- the holidays are a time for giving- and we really appreciate those who give monthly to cover our basic expenses here at 1001 Stories network.
