On AM970 Radio, Sunday, January 11, from 7–9 PM (Eastern), join hosts Mert Roberts and Lucas A. Ferrara for two hours of sharp analysis, spirited debate, and compelling interviews on the next episode of SHAKE IT OFF WITH MERT & LUCAS, LIVE!
Hour 1: Free Speech, Accountability & the Digital Age | Dr. Joanna Dodd Massey
The first hour features a timely and incisive conversation with Dr. Joanna Dodd Massey, author of Free Speech Is Not a Free Pass to Spew Hate. In this concise and provocative work, Massey examines one of the most urgent cultural and constitutional tensions of our era: the widening gap between the right to speak and the responsibility to do so without causing harm.
Drawing on constitutional principles, psychology, and decades advising Fortune 500 leaders, she explores how speech in the digital age is amplified, monetized, and weaponized — and why society must confront the real‑world consequences of outrage‑driven platforms. This hour offers a clear‑eyed, deeply relevant discussion for anyone concerned about democracy, digital culture, and the future of public discourse.
Hour 2: Leading Through the AI Revolution |Fred Voccola
The second hour welcomes Fred Voccola, technology entrepreneur, CEO of Simpro Group, and author of The Coming Disruption. Voccola argues that artificial intelligence is not a trend but a transformational force that will upend traditional organizational structures, redefine leadership, and separate adaptive companies from those destined to fall behind.
Drawing on decades leading global technology firms, he outlines how AI‑First organizations will outpace legacy models, why entrepreneurial leadership is now essential, and what companies must do immediately to survive and thrive. This conversation offers a candid, urgent, and highly practical roadmap for anyone navigating the future of work, innovation, and competitive advantage.
