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".

Famous quotes containing the words talk, show and/or host:
“Since you are my readers, and I have not been much of a traveler, I will not talk about people a thousand miles off, but come as near home as I can. As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Those who show pity and are always ready to help during times of trouble are seldom the same ones who rejoice in our joy: when others are happy they have nothing to do, they become superfluous and lose their feeling of superiority, and so they easily show their displeasure.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A host is like a general: calamities often reveal his genius.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
