    Baldwin shooting footage... The town of Plaquemines Parishground zero in the damage from 2010s oil spill in the Gulf.

    June 2010 EDITORS:Stephen BaldwinKevin McCullough

    THIS ISSUE:The Will to DrillXPAC 2010, San DiegoWhat Youre SayingQ & A for StevieB/KMCMeet the Crew

    WHO WE ARE...Seeking in earnest the recruitment of Binge Thinkers with every piece of content that is made.

    Since the beginning of a new mediacompany that began humbly as a littleweekend radio show between friends,Stephen Baldwin and Kevin McCullough havehad one driving passion.

    We wanted to create content that wouldcause a stir, said Baldwin, the youngest of the four internationally renowned actingBaldwin brothers. And sometimes causingthat stir creates waves in many places and atreally unpredictable times.

    Yet the odd combination of an actor whohas had a hand in over 60 major motion

    pictures in 20 years in the film business, anda pundit, writer, author, blogger who alsohappens to own the title most read Fox Newsopinion writer in history has strangely been agoofy but fun expedition for the two manteam.

    If you could have told me that after wepredicted, prayed and hoped that wedvebeen on 50 stations in 18 months, that wedactually have been blessed with partnerships

    with 213 (soon to be 215) stations, Id never have believed you, said Kevin McCullough.But our passion to make content is nowmore insatiable than ever.

    What we specialize in is the making of content that touches people, and changeslives. We know we can. We believe that GodHimself has given us this ability and by Hisgrace we feel compelled to press forward,added McCullough.

    And we like to have fun too, quicklyadded Baldwin. Hes the brains, Im thebrawn, but the show is all about common

    sense in everything about life, and it lets usbe our goofy selves.

    For the fall of 2010, XtreMEDIA hasmultiple major motion picture projects in theworks including a major studio animatedfeature, and the current documentary TheWill to Drill.

    Baldwin showing his Will! Stephen Baldwin arrived in New Orleans onMonday, May 3rd to take meetings regarding apotential feature film project based on an originalscreenplay he had written. After two days of discussions, he found the majority of hisconversations with the people he came to meetand people in the town were about the oil spill inthe Gulf of Mexico and its potential impact onNew Orleans and the State of Louisiana. Hismind immediately transitioned to working onwhat has now become an even greater priority.Baldwin, his media company XtreMEDIA , andhis crew quickly embarked upon the productionof a documentary entitled THE WILL TO DRILL .

    The film is to be a non-partisan explorationof the events that transpired after the explosionof the off shore oil rig Deepwater Horizon and allthat has transpired since. Many are consideringthis to be an event that could be the worstenvironmental disaster to ever impact TheAmerican coast line. Baldwin quickly launchedinto action bringing in a team of cameraoperators and headed straight to the groundzero of the situation in Plaquemines Parrish,New Orleans. Upon his arrival, Baldwinconnected with Parrish President BillyNungesser to start the process of understandingwhat the people of New Orleans were goingthrough. Much to his surprise he learned thatthe magnitude of the spill was far greater than hehad heard. Baldwin states, In learning what thelocals were going through, I immediately feltcompelled to want to help and get involved increating more awareness.

    During this process Baldwin filmed all thewhile interviewing local shrimpers, oysterman

    and fisherman. Word quickly got out aboutBaldwins presence in the area and his project.Soon after that Baldwin was invited to joinLouisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal , aboard aBlack Hawk Military helicopter with acontingency of other invited guests for a viewingof the marsh lands that had already beendamaged. He was overwhelmed by the amountof oil spanning out for miles over the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.

    Simultaneously, Actor Kevin Costner wasvisiting the area as he was presenting his

    technology that has the ability to separate oilfrom water in an event such as this. Baldwinwas able to capture this with his camerasshowing a successful test of Costnerstechnology. Consulting on the documentary isveteran independent motion picture distributor Paul Cohen , Director of the Torchlight Programat The Florida State Universitys College of Motion Picture Arts. The College has agreed tolend its full support to Baldwins efforts as well.Baldwin and Cohen currently are in enroute tothe Cannes International Film Festival to meetwith various film makers and distributors for THWILL TO DRILL .

    Cohen will also be representing the FilmSchool to celebrate its graduates whose filmThe Myth of the American Sleep Over that has

    been selected for Critics Week. Cohen wasrecently involved with the marketing of multipleindependent motion pictures and most recentlythe Oscar winning documentary The Cove.

    MY FAVORITE IS:What I love about your radio work is that it is proclaiming the Good News with an edge! Anthony, North Dakota

    My favorite aspect of Baldwin/McCullough w ou ld be t he Chr i s t i an message communicated without being to preachy. I would also say I like the upbeat atmosphere.I think you guys exhibit good Moral principles that will draw people towards healing. Too many times we tell people in order to love God we must give up things

    that might not necessarily be bad. I mean we do not do enough of Loving the sinner,and condemning the sin. We tend to condemn both because of a person's choice of music or their demeanor. By using the format you guys are using we can still be cutting edge but teach Christian Principles. Tim, Iowa

    I love everything about it! You guys areencouraging, enlightening, fun, brilliant and so much more! I LOVE the chat room and being able to interact and see you whilelistening. The friendships I've made from

    there will be lifelong and precious. I love themembership area, the music downloads,and I love the xtreme bites (hint, hint-need more!) We need a blooper video, or aKevin's expressions video! lol I love that you make current events come tolife with such clarity! Just love everything about you guys! Teri, Oregon

    Favorite aspect of your show is the camaraderie/B.S. between the 2 of you. It makes it all fun, attention getting and most interesting! Your topics are always relevant & needed! Monroe, Louisiana

    Favorite parts of the show: The challenge tothink with clarity, and talk about it.. freely discussing God and challenging listeners torise above the culture. Random dancing...Parts I dislike: Eating while being skyped? or whatever that feed is.. you can't see us, but yes, we can see you dump that can of

    pringles crumbs down your gullet and wipeyour hands on your shirt. Kerri, Florida

    REACTING TO THE SHOW(S):Hi Kevin - I have been listening to your show on SIRIUS since January and I lovey o u r s h o w. I a l s o h a v e r e a l l y enjoyed watching Stephen Baldwin on thevarious reality shows he has participated in....(especially when he baptized that guy -don't remember his name). In 2009 I became a born again Christian. I was raised

    Episcopalian, however had a dysfunctional family and "youth." Anyway, while I spent my first 20 years in New York - Long Island,

    Albany, graduated from Columbia University - I have been in Washington DC since college. I registered as a Conservativewhen I was 18....have always beenconservat ive and came to DC for

    politics...Worked in the Reagan/Bush, Bush/ Quayle, and Bush/Cheney campaigns and administrations... I know Washington politicslike the back of my hand (I currently work for a government agency) -my field is public affairs (aka PR), government affairs, media,communications, events (I put together a tripfor Mrs. Barbara Bush at the Vatican - yes, I met the Pope - a real highlight!!!) ...I would like to serve The Lord using my capacity for communications and my knowledge of Washington. I know you guys came toWashington for the CPAC conferencerecently... I sure would like to do something more to spread The Good News and support my fellow Christian brothers and sisters.Please let me know what you think. In themeantime, I will keep listening to your show! Cheers, Mildred, Washington DC

    Thanks Mildred, we would like to do more tohelp you spread the news as well. Keeplistening, tell your friends, and stay alert!

    Stephen and Kevin, I don't agree that what we eat should be monitored but we do havean obesity problem. The strain on healthcare within the next few years will beenormous. My thought is why not mandatecertain criteria the food processors have tofollow. It seems that anything can be put onthe shelf and many times the stuff has nonutrition but lots of fat. It seems these big companies that are putting out questionablefood and making big profits are not held accountable. Just my thoughts. It all comesdown to a previous topic which is personal responsibility. Shanel, New Brunswick,

    Canda

    Thanks Shanel, doesnt it ALWAYS comedown to the personal responsibility issue? There is hardly an issue in life that doesnt touch on the fundamental truth, that we areto be responsible for our actions!

    XtreMEDIAs Q & As:Kevin & Stephen,

    Ive heard you guys for a brief while now talk about why individuals should put part of their retirement into precious metals, but specifically youve been talking up gold. Canyou give me some genuine feedback on why you believe it to be so important?

    Tina, Michigan

    Tina thanks for your note. It was a couple of years ago for me that I first had my eyesopened to why gold does for you financially. I didnt understand for myself what thedistinctive specifics of what gold offers my family by way of financial protection. But inrecent years Ive come to understand something else very clearly. The dollar bill islosing value by the minute and if my retirement is tied up in things that arebacked only by dollars then that means my savings runs the risk of being wiped out by the flux of the markets. Consider this in 1880 if you went into downtown New York to tfinest mens store and ordered a custommade suit of the finest materials, and tailored to fit like a glove. You could

    purchase that with $20 in American cash, or a one ounce $20 gold coin. In 2010 the gold coin and the mens suit have held their value. But if you were to pay for the suit incash it would cost you about $1200. So what was it that actually changed in value? Theworth of the dollar bill. By converting my

    personal retirement funds into an IRAbacked by gold I will not run the risk of losing what Ive spent my life building. Our friendsat Rosland Capital can give you much moreinformation but you should at least log onthrough our website and request the freeinformation packet. There is no obligation:

    Faith AmmenHow do you adequately put into words the

    efforts of the person who is literally the glue tothe operation? In many respects Faith Ammengoes way beyond even that description in her role with XtreMEDIA. Keeping everyone onschedule, but especially her boss KevinMcCullough, is just the tip of the iceberg that thisfirey twenty-something is bringing to the table.

    From the very first radio broadcast to themost recent XPAC live event Faith Ammen

    traces her roots with XtreMEDIA from her relationship with Kevin. She should... she startedout by bringing him sandwiches.

    The very first day Faith walked into theroom of interns that were about to be assigned atFRC, (Family Research Council) I knew that shewas more of a go-getter than the rest of the roomcombined!

    Faith remembers that day too.He was making Andy Bernard

    jokes and was even dressed likehim. I wasnt quite sure what thefuture had in store but Im prettysure if you asked me then itwouldnt be what its come tobe.

    Faiths official role atX t r e M E D I A i s execu t i veassistant an d handles all thingsrelated to KMCs schedule. Butshe has also handled details relatedto XPAC programming, and evenscreened calls in studio.

    She is the fastest learning associate Iveever been honored to work with, says KMC.

    Ivan QuinonesIvan Quinones is a breath of fresh air to

    everything he attaches himself to. An aspiring

    actor, comic, and musician Ivan isalready making his footprint felt in the

    universe of XtreMEDIA fans. His original

    composition of the Tiger Woods parody from lastChristmas became a YouTube viral hit. And hisnew rants on the Baldwin/McCullough websitetake you behind the scenes with the radio showsin ways you do not expect.

    But beyond his raw talent, and it isabundant, Ivans real gift is his ability to adapt,learn, and continue to push himself to growacross a wide variety of disciplines. His learningcurve on everything from the production of motion pictures to the latest online technology inediting and production round out an impressivedisplay of skills.

    For XPAC 2010, with no advance training or layout he conducted the entire audio visualoperations for the conference. He also loves Godwith all his heart!

    Saturday nights, you will hear him piping in,and he will screen your calls... so be nice...

    Who knows he might rant you!

    DO YOU KNOW THEM?Getting to know the faces at XtreMEDIA, for without them we would not last...
