HHe’s called “the toughest sheriff in America.” He’s certainly not your run of the mill county sheriff with his “Tent City,” pink underwear for prisoners, and aggressive law enforcement. Many have frequently seen Sheriff Joe Arpaio on camera in the local and national media. He has numerous friends and plenty of enemies as well. Like him or not, he minces no words.

Now, listeners can hear a side of Joe few have as he goes one on one with host Roger Galloway about his childhood, his mother’s death at his birth, his love of sports as a player in high school, his favorite song (think Frank Sinatra and you’ll probably guess right,) his love/hate relationship with the media, the famous star he locked up when he was a cop in Las Vegas, his 53-year marriage, his possible run for governor, and, Roger may truly have uncovered the sheriff’s own personal “Rosebud” (that word was uttered in “Citizen Kane” and a childhood sled was the key to Kane’s life.) What was it for the sheriff? Tune in and see if you agree. Joe Arpaio, an inside personal look this weekend.

Then, Hollywood reporter, Andre Fortin talks about the shaky appearance of Ryan Seacrest on “American Idol” Tuesday night. (The Internet is alive with gossip on this) and is the latest movie about Superheroes too dirty for kids to see? New York’s Jack Russell zeroes in on “Harry Potter’s” Daniel Radcliffe heading for Broadway to star in a re-do of “How to Succeed” and Nashville’s Don Hinson reveals that a movie will be made next year about the “King of the Cowboys,” Roy Rogers.  A country star will play the title role. 

An ordinary man with extraordinary talents -- Paul Potts won the first-ever season of Britain’s Got Talent, allowing him to quit his job as manager of a small mobile phone store in England and going on to sell millions of records around the world.

Britain’s Susan Boyle became an overnight sensation when she unleashed her incredible voice before millions on “Britain’s Got Talent” and then hit You Tube the next day, scoring millions of new fans in the U.S. She’s now made millions with her best selling album and tour. But, before her was her male counterpart ---another chubby, unassuming, British “nobody,” -- Paul Potts. He too performed on “Britain’s Got Talent,” but unlike Susan Boyle, he won the top prize on the show. This weekend, Paul goes one on one with host Roger Galloway as they zero in on how he’s dealt with fame and fortune. If you love a poignant story about someone who deserved the big break and got it, this is it!

Then, Hollywood reporter, Andre Fortin talks about Siobhan getting kicked off of “American Idol” and Lindsay Lohan’s latest bizarre publicity with a gun to her face. (What’s up with that?) New York’s Jack Russell lets us know a little about Conan O’Brien’s Sunday night appearance on “60 Minutes,” and Don Hinson and Roger pick their top 10 female country artists of all time. Who’s number one –Loretta, Tammy, Dolly, Reba, or Carrie? Maybe none of them. 

And, they're off!! Horse racing at Turf Paradise is now in its 56th year.
