We’re excited to have Brooke White as our special guest this week on the Furious World!  Brooke is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter, and we’ve been enjoying her latest album- “High Hopes and Heartbreak”- here at the studio.

You might recognize Brooke’s talent from “American Idol”; she was one of the finalists in season 7 of the show in 2008.  She quickly won over viewers with “her passionate swirl of willowing soul and ‘70s flavored gold.”

A native of Phoenix, Arizona, she now lives in Los Angeles and is constantly working on new music.  Recently, she’s toured with Michael Johns, and was a judge for the 2010 Miss America Pageant.  You can hear some of her recent music at her myspace page.

Our guest this week will be the actor Michael Bentt!  You’ve seen him in films such as “Ali”, “Million Dollar Baby”, and the current release “Public Enemies”.  He’s also been in a number of popular crime/drama TV shows, such as “Robbery Homicide Division” and “JAG”.

Before his success as an actor, he was an outstanding boxer- a “former WBO Heavyweight Boxing Champion, four New York City Golden Glove titles, five U.S. Amateur titles and former captain of the US National Boxing Team”!

We’re looking forward to having him on the Furious World this Tuesday night!  In the meantime, head over to http://www.michaelbentt.com to learn more about him.  If you have any questions for Michael, send them to connect@peterhimmelman.com!

This week we’re welcoming Trevor Hall to our studio!  Trevor Hall is a talented musician who signed his first record deal with Geffen Records during his senior year of high school. He has toured with many artists including: Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Matisyahu, Stevie Nicks, Ben Harper, Colbie Callait, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley, Rusted Root, and many others.

Trevor has a great accoustic rock sound that fans of Peter Himmelman will be sure to enjoy.  He’ll be stopping by the Furious World as part of a tour around LA this week.  For more info and some great music, check out his myspace page!

We’re excited to bring you Robert Scoble on the Furious World tomorrow night!  He’s a huge name in the internet/tech community; he’s often called a “technical evangelist”, but is also a well-known blogger and author.  He’ll be talking about how recent events in Iran are being shaped by internet tools such as Twitter and Facebook.

Also tomorrow night- Peter sits next to some interesting people on an airplane in “Phantoms of the 405″; we’ve also got Bruce Warren bringin’ another great band to listen to.  Don’t forget to stay tuned for some wise words from King Ferdinand, and we’ve also got a great cigar commerecial that is about 40 years old.  And don’t forget some killer tunes from Peter Himmelman and the band!
