Good people doing great things: Marianne, you’re programs really do highlight that there's still some serious good out there—and that we should do everything we can to highlight it. Well done!

Rob Bender wears many hats: film director and producer, conservationist, songwriter, musician, and world-class birder. Rob and I met on a film shoot many years ago, and I recently caught up with him in his LA-based studio to talk about his own non-linear career. You can find his music on all the major streaming providers, as well as on Bandcamp: https://robbendermusic.bandcamp.com.

EP 007 "Keeping the Path Clear," - Joey Weinert

In his new memoir, "Permanent Record," Edward Snowden tells the story of his evolution: A child of civil servants, he fell hard and fast for the internet of the 90s, ascended the intelligence community, and became one of the most famous whistleblowers in U.S. history. He joins ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero for a live taping of At Liberty at the Brooklyn Public Library.

MARIANNE BENDER
Producer/Director/Writer/Podcaster

I’m an Emmy-Nominated TV Producer, DGA Director, Writer, Storyteller &  Podcaster.  For the last 15 years I’ve documented the lives of 1000s of people: from A-list celebrities like Cher; Washington Insiders like Bob Woodward; Hall of Famers like Tony LaRussa - to convicted murderers, porn stars, drug addicts & lifestyle swingers...just to name a few. ;)

Ever since I began my TV career, I’ve been telling REAL stories about REAL people.  This is my love, my passion and my focus.  I’m very grateful and fortunate that people all over the county have opened their homes and shared their deepest, most personal stories with me. 

Now I turn my focus to podcasting.  This "INSPIRATIONS" podcast series grew out of me being INSPIRED by people who are courageous, who don’t take “NO” for an answer; people who make our world just a little bit better of a place.  Each "INSPIRATIONS" episode focuses on the life of one of these remarkable individuals.  

Raised on my family's Christmas tree farm in rural Pennsylvania, I love sharing these REAL stories with YOU.
