She’s all that. She’s no joke. She is a powerhouse!  “The Giles Files”loves us some Sheila Johnson!  Take a listen and you’ll know why.  Her business savvy made her the first black female billionaire in America. And her moving autobiography “Walk Through Fire: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Triumph” reads like a dramatic screenplay.  It was a fun and inspiring conversation with one of the most creative minds we’ve ever met.

SHEILA JOHNSON: THE ART OF EXCELLENCE

The Giles Files kicks off our summer fun attending a DEATH OF CLASSICAL concert in the Catacombs of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn New York. Come along as we hang out, down in the dirt with the dead!

They write! They love! They drink! They write about what they love to drink! Meet Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, journalists and wine connoisseurs, whose much-loved "Tastings" column in the Wall Street Journal was a jumping off point for best selling books and tv appearances on Martha Stewart and CBS Sunday Morning, among others.  It all started with a bolt of lightening first meeting at the Miami Herald.. and blossomed into a shared love of words, train rides, travel.. topped off with wine!   So pour yourself some vino and let's get started.

DOROTHY GAITER AND JOHN BRECHER: LOVE BY THE GLASS

Imagine being a college student, entering your first film in a contest, and coming in third place behind George Lucas and Martin Scorsese! That actually happened to Linda Yellen, and it was an auspicious beginning of a career in Hollywood moviemaking, working with stars like Dennis Hopper, Vanessa Redgrave, Jane Alexander and Jacqueline Bisset.  From her groundbreaking film "CHANTILLY LACE" to "THE LAST FILM FESTIVAL" and the controversial "PLAYING FOR TIME," Yellen walks us through her brilliant career, as Director, Writer and Producer. Adventures in filmmaking from a master.

LINDA YELLEN: WORKING WITHOUT A SCRIPT

Mozart, Haydn and Rachmaninoff - not you jam? Well they will be after you check out our guest, WQXR radio host Terrance McKnight. Terrance drops some knowledge on us about how the Moors in 16th century Spain were the original hit makers of what we now call classical music. We also learn of Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint Georges: a mulatto, Marie Antoinette's best boo, the rock star of his day in 18th century France and Mozart's idol - he was crazy jealous of the brother! So boogie on down to Baroque town and pizzicato your way to the surprisingly colorful origins in classical music.  To get 10% off your first month at Better Help, ➡️ www.betterhelp.com/gilesfiles Or use discount code, “GILESFILES” at checkout.
