Do you like Dr. Joy Browne?
I was wary of her becuz of radio Drs such as Laura and Phil (on TV). But she is delightful, IMO.

Her advice is pretty good, too!

1. I think she gives excellent advice.
She seems like a nice person too (unlike Dr. Laura.)

4. I remember her as level headed & warm, before she got washed away by LIMBOsevic
Before the wingnuts took over talk radio in the '80s, she, Dr David VISCOTT, and the other (or the real) Michael JACKSON were on the air in my area. Calm, intelligent, comforting, and kind.

Then LIMBOsevic went national. My local talk station was nervous and only carried one hour of him ahead of their noon local news/weather program. In our previously calm airwaves exploded, first that racous grunge music of The Pretenders, then the unmitigated obnoxiousness of LIMBOsevic himself, spelling out his name and telling the audience that it would take six weeks for them to "get" him.

So he took off, and in a few months the local station stopped scaring itself and cancelled their own local show and went live for the whole three hours of LIMBOsevic. And within the year, the old line-up of Joy BROWNE, VISCOTT, and JACKSON were ditched and replaced with an all-wingnut line-up.

I haven't heard of them since.

5. I haven't listened to talk radio in such a long time...
Except for Diane Rehm.

So is Dr Brown on the same stations as Docturd Laura?

6. I used to listen to her when I was a kid when she was on KGO-AM
in San Francisco in the evenings. she was great and for some reason, she had a lot of kids listening to the show.

but in 1984, she went to WABC in New York.
