Five years ago… we hit “go” on something we hoped would matter. We didn’t know what it would become. We didn’t know how many of you would show up. We just knew we wanted to create a place where conversations meant something… where laughter felt real… and where people could belong. And then—you came. Every listener who tuned in when you didn’t have to. Every guest who trusted us with their story. Every friend who shared a moment, a memory, a piece of their heart. You turned a show… into a family. There have been long nights, early mornings, unexpected turns, and moments we’ll never forget. But through it all, you’ve been there—faithful, kind, present. And that’s what makes this so emotional. Because Radio Night LIVE was never just ours. It’s yours. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for 5 years of belief, of joy, of showing up. We don’t take a single second of it for granted. Here’s to the memories we’ve made… and the ones we haven’t even dreamed of yet. ❤️🎙️ @timessquarenyc @nicholaslence @am970theanswer @abfnsw @statuecruises @stevecuozzo @tracynieporent @zacharystewart._ @petermadonia @arthuravenue @grandcentralbid @huntandfish @ellensstardust @firemanhospitality @tiffanytownsend @juliecorker @museumofbroadway @fdilella @inside_broadway @joanpelzernyc @arthuraidalaesq @imranansariesq @cestsibonorg @mon_aimee @scottbarbarino @vocalalitee @teacollectivebykmc @thatkevinshow @brooklyndinerus @broadwayassociation

CULINARY CONFIDENTIAL — Sunday, May 17 at 9 PM (Eastern) on AM 970: The Answer When a brewery stops acting like a brewery and starts thinking like a culinary institution, the entire industry shifts. This week, we’re spotlighting Moody Tongue Brewing Company — the Chicago original rewriting the rules of flavor, technique, and hospitality. Founded by Jared Rouben, the brewery’s “culinary brewmaster,” Moody Tongue stands alone as the only Michelin‑starred brewery on Earth. That star isn’t a novelty. It’s the result of Rouben’s belief that beer can carry the same precision, depth, and narrative power as a chef’s signature dish. Culinary Confidential dives into how Moody Tongue built a new lane in fine dining — one where brewing becomes a disciplined, expressive culinary craft. From their acclaimed tasting menus to their meticulous approach to ingredients, the brand continues to expand what beer can be and how guests experience it. And the Moody Tongue universe keeps growing. We explore Moody Tongue Sushi and the New York pizza concept tied to Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST) — each one an extension of Rouben’s commitment to elevated dining, thoughtful hospitality, and bold imagination. Hosted by Christina Cates — a hospitality veteran with more than two decades in New York City’s restaurant world — Culinary Confidential brings you the innovators shaping the future of food, beverage, and guest experience. Tune in Sunday, May 17 at 9 PM (Eastern) on AM 970: The Answer and the AM970 mobile app. Episodes available on Amazon, Apple, iHeart, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms.

THIS SUNDAY NIGHT — THE TRUTH COMES OUT! Episode 97 of Shake It Off with Mert & Lucas detonates two hours of revelations that cut across national security, creator commerce, and the psychology of identity itself. Hour 1 opens with a shockwave: the Pentagon has released 162 “never before seen” UFO files, ending decades of official denial and forcing a national reckoning over what our government has really known. With nearly half the country already convinced we’ve been visited, the question is no longer if the public believes — it’s why Washington finally blinked. From there, the hour turns to Lt. Commander Jack Ratliff, a career intelligence officer whose new book, Riding the White Bull, rips the curtain off the moral strain, psychological toll, and human cost of life inside the national‑security shadows. Ratliff doesn’t sanitize it. He lived it. And he’s ready to talk. Hour 2 shifts to the front lines of modern media. Candi Carter, CEO and Founder of Cistus Media, breaks down how creator commerce is being rebuilt from the ground up — and why networks, brands, and audiences are entering a new era of connection and monetization. A multi‑Emmy Award‑winning executive producer with three decades in television, she also brings a deeply personal mission as founder of We’ve Got Friends, the New Jersey nonprofit creating inclusive social spaces for teens with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The night closes with Prof. J. Eric Oliver, whose work exposes the hidden intuitions and unconscious habits that shape how we think, react, and define who we are. His book How to Know Your Self offers a science‑driven guide to understanding identity — and why so much of our behavior is steered by forces we barely notice. Two hours. Three voices. One live broadcast built for anyone who wants to understand the world behind the headlines — and the world inside themselves.

CULINARY CONFIDENTIAL — MOTHER’S DAY SPOTLIGHT Sunday, May 10 • 9 PM EDT • AM 970 Radio This Mother’s Day, Culinary Confidential steps inside a story built on warmth, grit, and the kind of family chemistry you can taste. Christina Cates welcomes Jody Kreush and her son, Richard Kreush — the duo behind Columbia, South Carolina’s beloved Cinnamon Roll Deli — for a conversation about how a simple homemade comfort became a destination, a ritual, and a national obsession. Their cinnamon rolls may be the headline, but the heart of their success is the partnership behind them: a mother with instinct and patience, a son with drive and vision, and a shared belief that hospitality begins long before the doors open. What started as a family tradition grew into a bakery known for consistency, generosity, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps guests returning for more than the food. This episode digs into the real work behind a “cult favorite”: early mornings, creative friction, the courage to scale, and the discipline to protect the soul of a brand as it grows. Jody and Richard speak candidly about trust, risk, and the rare dynamic that allows family and business to not only coexist — but thrive. Hosted by Christina Cates, whose two decades in New York City’s hospitality world bring sharp insight and grounded perspective, Culinary Confidential continues its mission to spotlight the people shaping today’s food and beverage landscape. This week’s conversation is equal parts heartfelt, revealing, and deeply human. Tune in Sunday, May 10 at 9 PM ET on AM 970 Radio or the AM970 mobile app. More at: culinaryconfidentialchristina.com or @am970theanswer (link in bio). Episodes available on Amazon, Apple, iHeart, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms. Warm roots. Real partnership.
