Meet The Creators

Gale Parmelee

Radio Host, Producer, and Swiftie

I'm Gale Parmelee, Co-Founder and Programming Lead of Track 13 Radio, where I combine my 30+ years of broadcast experience with my passion for Taylor Swift. As a Radio Host, Broadcasting Strategist, and Producer, I've dedicated my career to creating audio experiences with emotional impact and Track 13 Radio represents the perfect fusion of my professional expertise and my Swiftie heart.

Together with content creator and fellow Swiftie Bekah Carpio, I created Track 13 Radio to build an on-air community where fans can share their love for Taylor. A true Swiftie since the original 1989 release (and a fan since Taylor's self-titled debut), I was fortunate to experience the Eras Tour twice: Night 1 in Foxborough, MA and Night 1 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

My favorite eras are folklore and The Tortured Poets Department, with "august" holding a special place as my song. When I'm not curating programming for Track 13 Radio, you'll find me adding to my extensive Taylor vinyl and merch collection. I believe in spreading positivity, and Track 13 Radio is my way of giving the world something it genuinely needs.

Bekah Carpio

Musician, Content Creator, and Swiftie

I’m Bekah Carpio, Co-Founder and Creative Content Lead of Track 13 Radio, where I bring my love for storytelling, music, and Taylor Swift together to create a space made by fans, for fans. A lifelong musician, I earned my Doctorate in Music in the same year as Dr. Taylor Alison Swift (Class of ’22!) and have been a Swiftie since her debut album. I love every era and album, but I'm definitely a "folkmore" Swiftie. In my last ranking of Taylor Swift's discography, "evermore" was my top song.

As a playlist curator, mashup maker, and themed recipe creator, I love finding creative ways to weave Taylor’s music into everyday life - whether that’s through album-inspired breakfast bowls, sourdough recipes, or monthly Swiftie calendars full of important dates. Beyond Taylor, I also explore the cultural worlds Swifties adore, from The Summer I Turned Pretty to the artists and stories that shape our fandom. I’m also the writer of Dear Reader, a newsletter delivering to all things Taylor straight to your inbox. These emails dive into Easter eggs, share news roundups from the Eras Tour, and of course involve a little bit of clowning as well.

Track 13 Radio is more than a station - it’s a community. Together with Gale, I’m excited to help create a space where fans can celebrate, connect, and keep Taylor’s magic alive 24/7.
