Meet George Camacho – a real-life Jedi!
Get out your socks and sandals for this relaxing and soulful episode! In this episode of The Giles Files, we talk to George Camacho; a television producer turned Franciscan Friar! Not only is George super relaxing and sweet, he also has a funny sense of humor!

We’re talking about the multi-talented Bobby Rivers who, according to The New York Times, is “a master interviewer with a gift for impromptu banter.” Damn straight! He’s done it all - as a host on shows on VH-1 and Food Network, an ABC News movie critic and entertainment editor, even as a young movie trivia game-show winner! And he’s talked to everyone from Paul McCartney and Kirk Douglas, to Carlos Santana, Meryl Streep and Whoopi Goldberg to name just a few. He’s our all-time favorite movie nerd and regularly throws down some knowledge as a writer for Turner Classic Movies. Bobby knows all, and has the stories to prove it.

Summer 2020 - We've got the hook-up for a good time!
“Look! Up in the sky...it’s thunder! It’s lightning! It’s NBC’s secret weapon, chief meteorologist Janice Huff!” She’s been the weather Wonder Woman for 25+ years -- you’ll hear all about her brilliant beginnings and learn some slick stuff about the world of meteorology. Plus: a journey into Nancy’s nutty subliminal shelter-in-place corona virus diary. She may need to up her meds - you decide. All this and another boffo edition of “Know Your Damn History”.
"Mikey" is a black republican! A horror novelist! An almost-“woke” dad! All sides of the actor Michael Boatman, still fighting “The Good Fight.” on CBS All Access. Man, he's got stories for days! And Malibu may be the most famous beach in southern California, but the Malibu Diner in Hoboken, NJ has its own treasure. Plus: a musical tribute to someone we’ve got issues with. It’s a feast for the ears and another boffo “Giles Files!”
Behind-the-scenes artistry isn’t glamorous, but we want to give the glory to two bad-ass creatives: Cindi Gomes, sound technician for CBS News and Alexander Allen, celebrity stylist. These two pros work their craft - from travels with candidate Barack Obama to Madonna’s recent “Madam X” tour. Oh, snap!
Plus another installment of “Know Your Damn History”
Forget the debates - I can’t watch them anymore. It’s time for a candidate “kumbaya” as we move into 2020. And I have a plan that just might work. Give it a listen...
As Ed Sullivan would say, “We have a really big show!” Grab a cocktail, put your feet up, and get your funny on!
