  • Randy McGinnis EP65 The Jay Michael Show
    Feb 13 2026

    Native American Music Award winner, Randy McGinnis is a passionate advocate of Native American flute music. Randy is of Cherokee decent. He grew up in Southern Ohio where he learned the values, traditions, and language of his native culture. His ancestors left North Carolina prior to the Trail of Tears and settled in Kentucky before eventually moving into Southern Ohio. The songs he plays on his Native American flute are from the old songs he grew up listening to as a small boy. Randy's style of playing has been described as “playing from the heart.”

    Randy recorded in his own studio, Deer Star Productions, which he founded in 2008. In addition to solo performances, he has performed with other flutists, violinists, cellists, guitarists, and many other instruments.

    Randy is passionate about passing on the traditional skills of playing the Native American Flute. He has taught thousands of adults and children the joy of this beautiful instrument. Along with the Smokey Mountain Flute Circle in Townsend, Tennessee, Randy founded a school program called Ancient Voices. This program taught underprivileged children, both Native American and non-native, to play the flute. Each child was given a flute of their own to take home.

  • Kelli Maroney EP64 Jay Michael Show
    Nov 21 2025

    Kelli Maroney is an American actress whose career spans several decades, with 72 production credits, including 31+ films and over 540 hours of television.

    She first came to recognition as the bad seed teen Lolita “Kimberly Harris” in the ABC Daytime drama RYAN's HOPE, winning the plum role only two weeks after arriving in NYC to attend classes at The National Shakespeare Company Conservatory. She soon found herself

    acting opposite the likes of Joan Fontaine and Christopher Reeve as they made guest appearances on the show. She went on to take over the role of sex-kitten manipulator “Tina Lord” on ABC's ONE LIFE to LIVE.

    Kelli also gained notice for her portrayal of the exasperated cheerleader “Cindy Carr/Spirit Bunny” in FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, a film that for many came to simply personify the 80s. Today Kelli's cheerleader costume is on display in the Universal Studios Museum. Strong female leading roles, notably MAC-10-toting cheerleader “Samantha Belmont” in the zombie apocalypse classic NIGHT OF THE COMET, the sweet Killbot-slaying “Alison Parks” in CHOPPING MALL, “Jamie” in the underground slasher THE ZERO BOYS, teen psychotic-killer “Jolene” in SLAYGROUND, and several other well-received films quickly earned Kelli her seat at the table as a final girl in the family of the horror genre. She also guest-starred in a variety of prime-time ABC, NBC, and CBS shows, including the ever-popular MURDER, SHE WROTE. Kelli has said that her most fulfilling role to date is the schizophrenic femme fatale “Merrie/Meredith” in Showtime's noir thriller FACE DOWN (written and directed by NIGHT OF THE COMET's Thom Eberhardt), playing opposite Joe

    Mantegna, J.K. Simmons, and Adam Ant. Other streaming highlights include Kelli's channeling Tammy Faye Baker on HBO's TRUE BLOOD and playing herself in ADULT SWIM's TIM and ERIC'S AWESOME SHOW-GREAT JOB! alongside Patrick Duffy.

    Christopher Jordan is the Founder & CEO of Curious Research. He and I have attended and been featured speakers at many UFO and paranormal events as well as Chris handling the electronics and videography at such events. Chris is very knowlagble of paranormal and UFO / UAP topics and is sought after for his scientific approach to such subjects.

    Curious Research is an independent research organization dedicated to the serious investigation of paranormal phenomena, cryptozoological encounters, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). Founded by researcher, broadcaster, and field investigator Christopher Jordan, Curious Research serves as a central hub for data collection, research collaboration, and public education in the realm of the unexplained.

    At the heart of Curious Research is the belief that open-minded inquiry and methodical observation are essential to understanding the hidden truths of our world.
