Ken: Over the years I've had the privilege of interviewing many interesting and infamous people. Pem Farnsworth, the mother of television. Groundsbreaking radio and TV journalists Mal Goode, and Bob Teague. Civil rights pioneers Fred Gray and Jesse Jackson. Convicted assassin James Earl Ray. TV personalities Jerry Springer, and Geraldo Rivera. Authors Naomi Wolfe, and Whitley Streiber. Actors Danny Glover, Jeff Daniels, Ann Julian, and Helen Hayes. Singer/entertainer Glen Campbell. Director/actor and diabetes activist Stephen Furst. Baseball greats Lou Brock, Phil Neikro, and Bob Feller. Astronaut and former senator John Glenn. Financial guru Suze Orman. Panic expert Lucinda Bassett. Native-American activist Jerome Warcloud. General Motors CEO Roger Smith. Herbal healing authority Earl Mindell. Government information maven Matthew Lesko, and more politicians than I can ever remember, just to name but a few. I say it was my privilege because I enjoy listening to the views and experiences of knowledgeable people.
