That was a super Podcast! You really put a lot into this one and your love of radio really shines through. I believe you should do more themed podcasts like this one where you can produce a fun chiropractic history lesson that preserves and documents all this great stuff. This was a story only you could tell best!

Thank you Todd — I really DO love producing this type of podcast and look forward to doing more like it in the future. Of course… having your Chiro-Picking talent by my side sure give me an edge. 😉

I must say I too really enjoyed this particular podcast. Especially, Leola that was just absolutely amazing hearing her perspective of the introduction of radio into her home just absolutely mind boggling to think of no iPhones, iPads, DVDs, TV just a box with sound and how astonishing that was to her and her family; just crazy. I have to say I when she was sharing her perspective I felt myself being there it was absolutely phenomenal! I am so glad you were able to record her story! Thanks again Dr. Lamar another great job!
