Interview with Author Mark Giglio with Host Kiler Davenport

I started my adult life with an honorable discharge from the Air Force followed by a degree in English. Along came a wife and a baby boy. Circumstances lead me to follow my own bent and not the one I studied. I feel I have tasted enough of the bitter and sweet of life to share my notion of life’s essence in my writing. I’ve always been interested in the connections people have with each other and the world around them. History, humanities, art, philosophy, anthropology, world religions, and the natural world have been a fascination for me and a fountainhead for inspiration.

Interview with Bill O' Connor with Host Kiler Davenport

"With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. "They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men." - Bill OConnor (comment by OConnor on Face Book about trade-unions)

Interview with Ellis Amburn with Host Kiler Davenport

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD: The Obsessions, Passions, and Courage of ELIZABETH TAYLOR By Ellis Amburn interview with Host Kiler Davenport. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD is a magnificent biography of the Academy Award®-winning actress and legendary beauty. The book captures the unparalleled Elizabeth Taylor in all her tragedy and splendor -- her tumultuous loves, her doomed affections, her shocking excesses, her courage, and her inimitable style. Filled with stunning revelations about the men in her life (Burton, Clift, Hilton, Dean, Fisher), the book also details Taylor's life in recent years. Amburn shares information about Taylor's health concerns, her unswerving devotion to Michael Jackson and her reaction to his untimely death, her appointment by HRH Queen Elizabeth II as Dame Commander of the British Empire, and Taylor's work to support gay rights.

Interview with Mary Youngblood with Kiler Davenport

A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT MARY YOUNGBLOOD: Native American Mary Youngblood, half Seminole and half Aleut, is the first woman to professionally record the Native American Flute, and the first woman to win not just one, but two Grammy Awards for "Best Native American Music Album". About her second Grammy Award, Silver Wave Records said, "...Mary Youngblood has always had the talent to stand out above the crowd, and with this honor she stakes her claim as the number one star of Native American music." Mary Youngblood takes little credit for the intense emotions people feel when they listen to her music. "I am only a vessel between Creator and this instrument. As a sculptor would tell you, the clay has a spirit of its own and decides what it will become; so it is with the flute. These songs came from those who walked before me."

All about Kiler Davenport by Kiler Davenport

My very harsh and to the fucking point personality comes from all the death, dying, suffering, and pain I have been around since I was 14 years old, I am 65 years old now. I was completely surrounded by blood and guts from a very early age, due to the fact that I started hanging around the fire station at 14 years old. And back then I was going out on calls with the units.  It was nothing to see 3 or 4 dead bodies a day back then because I also worked at the funeral home and hung out at the ME’s office watching them do and many times assisting with the autopsy. Plus, my dad was friends with the top funeral homeowner in the city and I hung out there all the time too, and I learned to embalm and dress and do hair and makeup on the dead. Then we would box them up and make them ready for family viewing.  Now just down the street from the funeral home was the crematorium, and they always needed help lifting these very heavy bodies into the ovens, so I learned to use the retorts an...
