Bill Gardner

Below, I did the interviewing.  This time, I'm the interviewee!  Joey Reynolds,  legendary New York DJ, hilarious nice guy, and long time good friend of mine invited me to join him for one of his "Joey Reynolds Hangouts."  Great fun!  And at the end, Joey added my KOOL 94.5 Phoenix interview with another legend, Little Richard!  Watch and listen, if you've got the time, with this link:

Both former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano and NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith were regular guests of Bill Gardner, so we've included a handful of these frequent on air visits below.. 

 Having a recording of interviews we did was the responsibility of my producers.   I only wish they had given me all the interviews with many other stars that don't appear here like Philadelphia TV anchorman and John Lennon book author Larry Kane, long time Miracles singer Bobby Rogers and many others,  Hope we shared the morning and you heard our visits "live" on that day. 

Just click on the name below of the interview you'd like to hear for the MP3 audio.
