Ward Larsen: From fighter pilot to writing for Jack Ryan
<p><strong>Ward Larsen</strong> flew combat missions and commercial jets—now he’s writing in one of the most iconic thriller universes ever created. In this episode, the New York Times bestselling author joins Jon Evans to talk about his first Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan novel, <strong>Rules of Engagement</strong>—and how his aviation background helped him bring something new to the series.</p> <p>Larsen shares the behind-the-scenes process of writing for the Clancy estate, the pressure of meeting a devoted fanbase’s expectations, and how he balances realism with readability when he puts readers in the cockpit. We also dive into his path from a first solo flight in a Cessna to flying <strong>22 missions in Operation Desert Storm</strong>, then spending <strong>more than 30 years as a Southwest Airlines captain</strong> before retiring in 2026—plus where his thriller ideas come from, and why his writing style is more “seat-of-the-pants” than checklist-driven.</p>

Ralph Johnson: ‘Shining Star’, ‘September’ and the energy of Earth, Wind & Fire
<p>In this episode of <strong>1on1 with Jon Evans</strong>, Jon sits down with <strong>Ralph Johnson</strong>—original member, vocalist, songwriter, and percussionist for the legendary <strong>Earth, Wind & Fire</strong>—ahead of the band’s stop in <strong>Wilmington</strong> at <strong>Live Oak Bank Pavilion</strong>.</p> <p>Johnson shares why EWF is “not just a band,” but an <strong>energy</strong> rooted in <strong>Maurice White’s</strong> vision—built on movement, musicianship, and a nightly pre-show circle of prayer to “bring that energy in” and send it out to the crowd. He reflects on the surreal reach of the catalog (including the claim that an EWF song plays somewhere in the world every <strong>98 seconds</strong>) and what it means when fans call the music the <strong>soundtrack to their lives</strong>.</p> <p>Ralph also opens up about the band’s abrupt 1982 pause, the years he spent doing whatever it took to provide for his family—including construction work and selling stereos in Hollywood—and the call that brought him back to help carry the torch with <strong>Verdine White</strong> and <strong>Philip Bailey</strong>. Plus: why <strong>“September”</strong> still closes the show—and what it means if you walk in and hear it.</p> <p><strong>Listen now</strong> for a conbversation about timeless hits, big energy, and the rhythm that never quits!</p>
