You’ve heard of BJ’s Epigrams: short, sometimes witty, nuggets of thought provoking prose displayed on the walls of the PSC…. but have you heard of “Watergrams?”
Okay…. I confess: That’s what I wanted to call them.
Our own Todd Waters (ChiroPicker/BJ Character/Jingle Singer) actually refers to them as “Chiropractic Pictograms,” and he’s sharing his creation right here on SpinalColumnRadio.com.
We’ve created a special page that showcases his favorites. Just click on the image below (or the one just like it in the left column) and jump right to it.

SHOW NOTES
Title: Dr. Joseph Strauss, Dr. Eric Plasker, and Station WHO
Episode Number: 168
Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar
Show Date: 10/10/13
Run Time: 220:16
Description: Dr. Thomas Lamar is talking about Old Time Radio again! Join him as he steps back in time to tune in chiropractic-radio-past to talk about the “other” radio station BJ Palmer is known for: Station WHO. Plus he empties the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Interview Vault to share two great interviews. In the number one slot: Dr. Eric Plasker, author of the international best-selling 100 Year Lifestyle returns to share the keys to revolutionizing our patient education. Then, in the number two slot: Blue Books auTHOR, educaTOR, and long time chiropracTOR, Dr. Joe Strauss sits down to talk about drawing lines — demarcating between not only chiropractic and medicine, but chiropractic philosophy and Christianity. At the half way point, Dr. Lamar gives an overview of his “Mission Possible” ChiroFEST 2013 experience and shares an interviewette he did with the well-known GMO Health-Risk Expert, Jeffery Smith. Plus, take a virtual “tour of the mind” through BJ’s first radio station: WOC; marvel at the POP; learn all about parachuting cats, and enjoy the radio stories of former President of the United States, Ronald “Dutch” Reagan — Palmer’s most remembered station employee.
(Interviews with Drs. Eric Plasker and Joseph Strauss recorded at the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend in Long Branch, New Jersey).

My latest pick is a treasure trove of information about the early days of W-H-O Radio, Des Moines, Iowa.
W-H-O was the second radio station purchased by the Developer of Chiropractic, BJ Palmer. It is also where Dutch Reagan got his start in show business as a radio sports announcer. After some motion pictures and a governorship, Ronald Reagan landed the gig as the 40th president of the United States.
I found a compilation of newsletters bound in a book entitled “Our Home Office.” The newsletters originated from Bankers Life Insurance company, the original owners of Station W-H-O. The book contained the very first issue of Our Home Office, published April 1, 1927, and then continued biweekly, through November 15, 1930.
Bankers Life president, Gerard Nollen, stated that the purpose of the newsletter was to “promote loyalty and enthusiasm” among his employees. I got the sense while reading through these newsletters that Nollen would have been a good person to work for and that he encouraged his team to use their talents. Continue reading

“The problems we face today are often the solutions of yesterday.”
The Law of Unintended Consequences — we see it unfold everyday in the decisions our government and other mega companies make. But, if we’re honest, when it comes to our health, we as individuals are guilty of it as well.
The story of the Parachuting Cats illustrates this point beautifully, and it’s one we should not forget. We’ll give it some air play on SCR 168.

In the 1950’s the islanders of Borneo, specifically the Dayak people, were stricken with a major malaria problem. Borneo is the third largest island in the world and is mostly part of Indonesia. In their efforts to help, the World Health Organization came up with a solution that was simple, straightforward, and, in hindsight, stupid:

“You Never Know How Far Reaching….”
I never EVER imagined that BECAUSE of this podcast, I’d meet “BJ Palmer.” …Then again, I bet Todd Waters thought the same.
(By the way, this is Dr. Lamar stealing Todd’s corner of the website again… only because it’s the best place to share this).
Several some-odd-years-ago, when antique collector Todd Waters set his hands on the rare, 1931, recordings of the Developer broadcasting on the radio,
