Tuned In
The Show!
So I have this radio show. And you're probably saying who are you. First let me say, it's really weird to blog. I talk and write for a living, so this writing in the void of cyberspace it's weird, kinda of like reading a bed time story to just the pillow.
Anyway, my name is Jayne Rogovin and I've lived in Nashville for almost twenty years. I ended up here like a lot of people did. Kind of thought this was going to pit a pit stop on life's road, but somehow ended up in the black hole, that time warp continuum thing and I'm still here. Well I did leave briefly in the 90's to work for NBC News in Dallas Ft Worth, but I saw the light and moved back. That's a whole "nother story.
Any how, I'm an ex-journalist (well not quite ex) who loves Middle Tennessee. And I am honored to be hosting a program for one of the best radio stations in the country.
The purpose of Tuned-In is to spotlight the policy makers and taste makers, news makers and issues of our community. Some topics don't have sexy titles, but it doesn't mean they aren't important. There are a lot of everyday people in this town that do amazing things. And there are a lot of everyday issues that are very very important.
So comments and guests suggestions are welcome. I hope you stay Tuned In with Me, every Sunday at 6:00 a.m. Yes it's early but that's why they invented podcasts!!!!!!!

Executive Director of the Harpeth River Watershed Association
I knew right away who I wanted for my first guest, and what I wanted to talk about.
Dorie Bolze is this force of nature. She's the Executive Director of the Harpeth River Watershed Association. The organization helps protects and restore the Harpeth River and its surrounding Watershed (land area). She just didn't jump on the green band wagon. Dorie has literally, lobbied, begged, borrowed and done just about everything that is legally possible to raise awareness about this treasure and the importance to our area.
People don't think about the Harpeth, and it's tiny streams and tributaries, (it feeds into the The Cumberland and eventually the mighty Mississippi) until it's almost too late and we have problems like we did last year...i.e. water restrictions, low levels, dying fish etc. Dorie isn't some high profile celeb on a mission to save the world, but it's the Dorie's of the world that work tirelessly for not a lot of money to make our piece of the world a better place to live.

John Guide
I can't draw a straight line with a ruler, and I am lucky if the flash goes off in my camera. But I appreciate beautiful things and I appreciate people who make beautiful things. I also have utmost respect for people who go beyond their comfort level for whatever reason, whether it's to teach others, or just experience for themselves.
John Guider is one of those. And award winning renown photographer (commercial and artistic) he could have sat on his laurels and his air conditioned studio and continued to crank out beautiful images of people and places. Instead into his fifth decade of life, he got into his canoe on the Spence Creek, behind his historic farm house in Williamson County. With his first paddle he set off on a three month journey that ended up on the banks of the Mississippi in New Orleans.
Now you have to realize John was by himself, and HAD NEVER CANOED. This was not for the faint of heart. His remarkable images not only capture humanity but capture a way of life, that is in danger of dying. "The River" will debut in October at the Tennessee State Museum.
I wanted to find out what motivated John. I found him to be one of the most delightful, unassuming and charming people I have ever met. A true artist, adventurer and renaissance man.
