Gilardin is a different stripe of patriot - unaware of many of the issues dealt with in The Idaho Observer, for example. But she's wide awake about globalization. In looking through her list of past guests, we found many that we've had on our shows and we also find her topics and concerns compelling.
Gilardin learned radio in the KPFA news department in 1980 and was one of the founders of the women's department there. She co-wrote the GATT Guide for the Earth Summit in Rio, was founding producer of the national weekly public-affairs show “Making Contact,” and is a member of the International Forum on Globalization. Since 1993, Gilardin has written and produced radio on global trade and great ideas of local resistance to globalization.
1951 when two young students at Vanderbilt job function email list University in Nashville wanted to get into the then budding record industry. Neither was a talented singer, so they decided to sing in the old style of the 1920's, actually using an old recording for backup music. Further they surmised that if they could get it on radio, so many requests would pour in that no record company could possibly turn them down.
Result: Ken Berryhill and Tom Landess launched a radio program entitled The Old Record Shop, into which they planned to insert their recording of “Do You Ever Think Of Me.” However, after hearing their own recording, they declined to inflict it upon the public. By this time the show was on two radio stations (WTJS - Jackson, TN and WMAK - Nashville, TN) and becoming very popular on its own, especially in Nashville where numerous songwriters and performers were avid listeners.
