Unscripted Politics or UP for short is a unique political show hosted by Dr. David D. Schein, Kevin McDonald and Dr. Shelley Jones-Holt, who’s varied and extensive life experiences allows for a fascinating and informative discussion about life, politics, business and current events. While these two may disagree on the subject at hand and often do , they work to present their positions with respect and hopefully understanding. Our overall mission is to make you think and perhaps consider a new point of view which will help bring us together as a people. This is the most consequential historical time in recent memory and as such we need to come together to understand and work with each other with respect and kindness. We hope you will join us!

Kevin McDonald from Positive Talk, a seasoned host of radio and podcast shows since 2003, who has captivated audiences with his engaging and heartfelt approach. With a passion for storytelling and connecting with listeners, Kevin has built a loyal following over the years.

On Saving America, we take a close look at the intersection between business and politics. Our host, Dr. David D.

What did people think before the concept of "science discovery" existed?

Ron Tester is back for our end-of-year History Pop-Up where we discuss fascinating books about science, society + some truly dark moments in history.

Ron has been reading about how science as we know it didn't exist until the 1570s + why Newton spent more time studying the Bible than thinking about gravity.

I discuss the less cheery matter of mass suicides in 1945 Germany + what happened in Budapest's final days under Nazi occupation.

Look for more History Pop-Ups where we abandon business books entirely + indulge our other book nerd tendencies.

Books discussed in this episode:

The Invention of Science - David Wooten

Promise Me You'll Shoot Yourself - Florian Huber

Aftermath - Harald Jähner

The Clockwork Universe - Edward Dolnick

The Last Days of Budapest - Adam Lebor
