Gina Loudon, Ph.D. is an author, anchor, columnist, show host, and frequent news commentator. Gina Loudon grew up close to the Ozark mountains in Missouri. In school, she enjoyed cheerleading and dance, especially Hula and Tahitian dancing, and she studied in Hawaii. From an early age, her father debated political issues with her and she became quite a skilled debater, which no doubt led to her career as a political talk show host.
Gina studied design, communications, and psychology in college. She eventually earned two master's degrees and a Ph.D. Dr. Loudon wrote her dissertation on her own theory contrasting Sternberg's theory of love with the Maslovian hierarchical needs, and then applied it, hermeneutically, to existing data on relationship. Her original findings in her research are still being used today.
Her first master's degree, from St. Louis University, was withheld from her for what she believed were political reasons, but it was eventually granted to her, years later. This experience opened her eyes to political and social injustice.
She met her husband, John W. Loudon, while pursuing her bachelors degree at William Woods University. They were married at his alma mater, Westminster College, in the 17th century church that stands there on the grounds. Her husband, John, ran for State Representative shortly after they were married and was re-elected the maximum number of terms allowed by law. He then ran for and won a senate seat and was re-elected until he was termed-limit out of office.
Gina started doing a talk show on KJSL and, within a year, was regionally syndicated and moved to Alabama to broadcast from the company's 100,000 watt flagship station, WYDE. She was host of the drive-time, Dr. Gina Show, that was wildly successful and one of the fastest-selling shows on Crawford Broadcasting's family of stations.
Her latest book, titled "What Women REALLY Want", co-authored with Ann-Marie Murrell and Morgan Brittany, was published in 2014.
Her book, "Ladies and Gentlemen", published in 2012, is a historical and psychological non-fiction book about the roles people play in society and how they can change their role.
She and her family moved to California, after her husband was hired for his dream job in San Diego.
