This was really interesting. I had never heard of him, and I would think I would have. He must have killed and crippled hundreds of people. Although he apparently got it right occasionally, as he was so well liked. It's amazing he had time to start all these radio stations.

From doctor to radio host, two very different occupations and it sounds like he was a hit with his listeners here as he gave advice on the radio. A fun post and I enjoyed this unusual post Brett, love Dolly x

Growing up all we had for entertainment was Radio. I remember "The Hit Parade and many Soap Opéra's, like "Ma Perkins," "Stella Dallas" and "Our Gal Sunday." In the evening "The Shadow" soooo scary. LOL Dad listening to the Cardinal Baseball Games was often my lullaby at night. This DR. you wrote about should have been locked up! Good Heavens what were they thinking? Interesting! Well done. Nancy:)

My biggest question is how you've come to know so much about all these radio stations. I have this strange feeling that there is so much more to your story that I've ever picked up on before. It's always a pleasure to read anything you write. I hope all is going as well as can be expected! Thanks for sharing.

    Hanging in there. Due to circumstances on and off FanStory have not been on site much this month. But, as you know, your reviews are always much appreciated.

This was a very interesting story in the way that you told it. I appreciated listening to it. I can't imagine what it was like back in those days for people to have been taken in by such a fraud. I wish you the very best in all of your writing. I also know that you have some health problems and I wish you the best in gaining back your health. Patricia.

Wow! There are some strange folks out there. This was a real eye-opener for me, as a Brit, hearing about all these odd radio shows and goat testicles. Thank you, I think, for sharing!

Brinkley sounds like quite a trickster. But he made a real career of it, making sure that he spread his definition of 'life' far and wide, and now of course he famous, I wonder what went on their collective minds that compelled them to do these things. Beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy

Wow. I know this was about the radio industry in its infancy, but I latched on the "doctor" and his story. I'm definitely going to look him up. Your posts are varied and interesting. I never know what I'm going to read or learn. I love it. Gretchen

    All I can say is can not please everybody. So, if one star is what you truly believe this post was worth, so be it even though your difficult to read review, full of typographical errors though it may be, has absolutely nothing to do with what this posting was about. Spend the Funny Money wisely and never review anything I may post again. You do, I will mute you. Such a review as this does not benefit anyone at all.

Your story here is fascinating with so much detail research and passion at its core. In particular you provide quite a bio about Brinkley who, though with an incredible CV as a doctor, went on to start a radio station Kansas First Kansas Best dispensing medical advice and other interesting information. His link with radio broadcasting completes this 2nd stage on your impressive trawl through broadcasting history. Thanks for sharing Debbie
