Bestselling Author Barbara Gordon to join host Joan Jacobs on “The Light Within Show”


Barbara Gordon, international bestselling author of the memoir I’m Dancing As Fast As I Can, to appear on The Light Within Show with Joan Jacobs on VoiceAmerica’s Radio Network.
 Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that international bestselling author Barbara Gordon will join Joan Jacobs, host of The Light Within radio program on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel ( www.voiceamericavariety.com) Monday, February 20th, at 10 AM Pacific Time.

Barbara Gordon battled with addiction caused by what she thought was a harmless medicine. She tried to gain back control, only to be misdirected by doctors and lose it all: career, money, boyfriend, and friends. But through her convictions and remarkable strength, she recovered. Hundreds have been inspired by her story, and she hopes to continue to share her knowledge with those who are challenged by the stresses of work, family, and friends; a doctor who has given a questionable diagnosis; or their own or a loved one’s struggle with addiction.


In a relevant, timeless, and inspirational interview Gordon will discuss:
• How her experience challenged the all too common belief that doctors are Gods and we must follow their advice without question
• Insights on listening and valuing the self instead of social norms
• The power of stigma
• The tenuous path from hitting rock-bottom to recovery
• Creating a new model for the doctor-patient relationship

Gordon’s memoir is not an addiction story, but the story of someone overcoming adversity after reaching their darkest point. Gordon had to start over after losing herself completely. She had made a career of questioning people in power, yet when it came to her own personal health, she failed to ask any questions and played the part of the good patient. What we need to learn is that the quick fixes don’t work, and we all must be empowered to take control of our own health and lives. While starting over is challenging, support can be found from all kinds of places.

Barbara Gordon is an international bestselling author. Her memoir, I’m Dancing As Fast As I Can, has become an iconic phrase in the world of addiction and recovery. Selling over 2 million copies, her book has helped and continues to inspire people of all ages, gender and sexual preference. Gordon has appeared numerous times on Oprah, TODAY Show, Good Morning America and many other affiliate talk shows. She has been on the cover of Parade Magazine and featured in the Chicago Tribune, New York Times and Los Angeles Times.

Barbara Gordon is an Emmy-award winning documentary producer who has interviewed and questioned members of the CIA, Kaddafi and other powerful figures. A legendary author, producer and inspirational speaker—Gordon has much to share about empowering people of every generation to ask the tough questions.

Gregg Braden joins host Kathy Kirk on “A New View of Life Show” to discuss new book, Deep Truth


NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING author GREGG BRADEN, internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality to appear on A New View of Life Radio Show with 

 Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that nationally acclaimed author and pioneer bridging science and spirituality, Gregg Braden will join Kath Kirk, host of A New View of Life radio program and creator of Applied Spirituality™ on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel (www.voiceamericavariety.com) Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 3:00. Pacific Time.

Gregg Braden will discuss his new book, Deep Truth, revealing 5 scientific myths that are still being taught in our schools today and on which we continue to base much of current decision making today. These scientifically debunked myths are:
• Civilization is between 5000-5500 years old.
• Nature is based on “survival of the fittest".


• Random events of evolution explain human origins.
• Consciousness is separate from our physical world.
• The space between things is empty.

Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970's energy crisis, he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer with Martin Marietta Defense Systems during the last years of the Cold War. In 1991 he became the first Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems where he led the development of the global support team that ensures the reliability of today's internet.

For more than 25 years Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. His work is now featured on the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, The Sci Fi Channel and NBC.

To date, Gregg's discoveries have led to such paradigm-shattering books as: The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, and Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age, which debuted at #5 on the New York Times bestseller list two weeks after its release. Deep Truth is the newest book by Gregg Braden.
