What’s this show about: For the past eight years, Swersky has been turning the White Plains Public Access studio into a stage for emerging singers and songwriters. Clive frequents New York City music clubs and invites musicians he meets to come perform on his show.
“The show was originally called ‘Turning Your Passion Into Profit.’," said Swersky. "Now I call it ‘The TV Show That Inspires You to Multiply Your Magnificence.’”

According to Swersky, he has interviewed over 300 guests.
Along with his show, Swersky maintains many other projects that all tie into “Alive with Clive.” Members of his recently created “The Alive with Clive Global Community” are able to see his show’s most recent episode each week in its entirety.
“The plan I have is constantly evolving,” said Swersky. “I am in the midst of incorporating all my new thoughts and ideas into one integrated upgraded web site.”
He also has a YouTube Channel where he uploads performances from his show. At the channel, the public is invited to vote on their favorite musicians, with the top-20 vote-getters being included on an “Alive with Clive” CD.
“We now sell subscriptions to membership in The Alive with Clive Global Community to raise money for people affected by HIV and AIDS in South Africa and give away the CD as a bonus,” said Swersky. “I have a grand vision to raise millions of dollars in this way."
In addition to the CD, members can also receive access to all “Alive with Clive” shows recorded in 2011; a t-shirt; a digital book about the CD; and another digital book he released titled “Quotes to Multiply Your Magnificence.”
New episodes of “Alive with Clive” air every on channel 45 for Verizon subscribers and 76 for Cablevision subscribers every Monday at 8:30 p.m. and every Wednesday at 7 p.m.
