Talk Show Host
In the mid-1980s, Caidin hosted a series of one-hour confrontational talk shows titled Face to Face. The raw subject matter challenged many of the extreme right wing and hate groups in the United States. The shows were co-written and produced by Bob Judson and were produced at the Nautilus Television Studios outside of Orlando, Florida. On the air Caidin challenged Matthew F. Hale (head of the American Nazi Party, who followed George Lincoln Rockwell), Rabbi Meir Kahane head of the Jewish Defense League (assassinated a year later in a hotel lobby in New York), Dick Butler from Aryan Nations, journalist Charlie Reese, John McMann from the John Birch Society, and many others. Caidin was a friend of 1960s talk show host Joe Pyne and utilized the same "gloves off" interview style coupled with in-depth research and intelligence gathering.
Caidin also taught a progressive journalism course at the University of Florida in Gainesville titled "Caidin's law".

“I don’t want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Have we no culture, no refinement,—but skill only to live coarsely and serve the Devil?—to acquire a little worldly wealth, or fame, or liberty, and make a false show with it, as if we were all husk and shell, with no tender and living kernel to us? Shall our institutions be like those chestnut burs which contain abortive nuts, perfect only to prick the fingers?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Those of us who are in this world to educate—to care for—young children have a special calling: a calling that has very little to do with the collection of expensive possessions but has a lot to do with the worth inside of heads and hearts. In fact, that’s our domain: the heads and hearts of the next generation, the thoughts and feelings of the future.”
—Fred M. Rogers, U.S. writer and host of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. “That Which is Essential Is Invisible to the Eye,” Young Children (July 1994)
