From Howard Margolin:

This week, Destinies is live to speak with an author whose background in philosophy and computer science gives him the drive to not write what he's seen done before, making each of his books a completely different experience.

Tune in on Friday night at 11:15, as Marc Vun Kannon makes his sixth in-studio appearance to discuss and read from his latest novel The Flame in the Bowl: Into the Breech.

Learn about Korrien Thar, a Double, who shares her form with a male self. Find out how Thar finds herself in service to Death, and why Death needs her to find the lost, unbodied soul of Demlas Tarkas, the original hero of the series, a man she has never met, on the strength of a story.

How does this novel continue the saga that Marc began over twenty years ago, and where will it go from here?

Find out on Friday, October 18th, at 11:15 PM, when host Howard Margolin speaks with author Marc Vun Kannon on a special, live Fall Radiothon edition of Destinies-The Voice of Science Fiction.

Tune in Wednesday, October 23rd at 8pm as “Davie Jones Locker” host Steve Kreitzer interviews Rob Fleming and James Sledge of KillerStar, in advance of their Saturday, November 2nd show at The Cutting Room, NYC.

KillerStar’s self-titled debut album weaves modern and classic rock into a distinct sound that features sophisticated harmonies, catchy hooks and elements of art rock. The album comprises memorable songs that blend crunchy guitars with textured synths, hook-laden vocals and ethereal harmonies.

The band have joined forces with a team of musicians and trusted collaborators from David Bowie’s band: Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick and Mark Plati on guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey and Tim Lefebvre on bass, Emm Gryner on backing vocals, and Donny McCaslin on saxophone. Collectively, the KillerStar album’s guest musicians have contributed to almost every era of Bowie’s vast discography, from the landmark ‘Aladdin Sane’ to the final goodbye of ‘Blackstar’.
