, on WNJC 1360 AM it was a rock and roll Tuesday night show then we branched to a second show that which was a total 180 . It was life after death issues people that have NDE , near death experiences . People that died from accidents , or operations or drugs or something like that , and musicians , other artists that came back to life , and what they had to tell about the hereafter , and what they had to say about it . It was very interesting and wonderful , but , I am kinda on hiatus for the moment .
