    Hello, I'm Gail Nobles. You're listening to the NACK Podcast, a digital Journal magazine. Back in 1989, an exciting telefilm came on television titled A Mother's Courage: The Mary Thomas Story. It was a two part episode. The movie was about the mother of basketball star Isiah Thomas.

    Alfred Woodard played as Mary Thomas. The right actress was picked to play as Mary Thomas. Alfred Woodard was able to act out just how strong Mary Thomas was in raising her children. She fought to keep her family together and her sons out of trouble though they lived around poverty, drugs, and crime.

    Mary stood up to a gang leader played by Harry Lenox at a school dance. I could feel Alfre Woodard’s acting. Getting lost in the film, it seemed like Alfre was actually Mary Thomas. She made you forget that she was not Mary Thomas as you got lost in the story of the film. Mary Thomas used a shotgun to keep gang members away from her family. In the movie, she pointed a gun at the gang leader and said: Ain’t but one gang in this family and that’s the Thomas Gang.

    Michael Thomas was played by Leon from the Five Hearbearts. Garland Spenser played Isiah Thomas in middle school. Larry O. Williams Jr. played Isiah Thomas in high school. It was an awesome story and film. Films based on true stories, if made right, are the best. And if it’s a telefilm, it makes me watch television even more.

    Hello, I’m Gail Nobles and I want to talk to you today about a podcast that was discontinued at Swellcast called The Knack. Swellcast.com has shutdown. It was a unique place for the podcast because I received audio comments about my stories there that I am not able to share. However, I am able to share the podcast itself. One of my episodes from the podcast is Jamal Woodard. I hope you enjoy it.....

    Hey there, music lovers! Let me tell you about a real radio station in the airwaves: Mega 104.3 FM in Camp Verde, Arizona. This isn’t just any station; it’s a rhythmic oldies paradise!

    When I first tuned in, the sweet sounds of The Fugees' “Killing Me Softly” filled my ears, followed by the catchy vibes of “Mandolay” by Lā Flavour. What a great mix! And let’s not forget Montell Jordan’s classic, “This Is How We Do It.” Talk about a blast from the past – Mega 104.3 is definitely bringing the rhythm to Arizona!

    Right now, they’re spinning a Prince classic “1999.” Can you feel that beat? You can listen live at Mega1043.com, where the music never stops.

    And guess what? They’ve got some fantastic concerts lined up! On February 14, 2026, it’s the Valentines Super Love Jam featuring GQ, Peaches and Herb, Rose Royce, Blackstreet, and more. Then on May 2, 2026, get ready for The R&B Lovers Tour with Keith Sweat, Dru Hill, Joe, and Ginuwine. Just now, I caught The Jets’ “Crush On You” and I can't stop grooving!

    So if you love that rhythmic oldies sound, make sure to tune in to Mega 104.3 – your station for all the hits that make you want to dance! That’s Mega1043.com. Keep the rhythm alive!
