I was a D.J. in a small Southern town when Nixon resigned. That night my show became a talk show. Callers were extremely angry that Nixon had been “run from office”. Most of the callers said “He didn’t anything they all don’t do.” The talk show ran for a few more months until I left the station. Always wish I’d have kept going.

You must have been one of the pioneers of the call-in talk show format. Out here in California at the time, we had Michael Jackson, a liberal, in the morning, and Ray Briem, a conservative, working the graveyard shift, so I never heard him. The format really caught fire when Rush Limbaugh came along in the late 1980's.

I think there was one station in Memphis at the time who had on guests who would talk about the microwave oven and things like that.

Years later when Talk Radio hit big I always thought, “Man, why didn’t I take my show on the road.” Oh, well, it happens the way it’s supposed to happen.

Ray Briem, a conservative, working the graveyard shift

What I most remember about Briem was his in-studio sidekick, who'd pipe in now and again........."Major Minah", a minah bird.

Ah, yes, Michael Jackson! I’ll never forget the show when Michael had as his guest the Swimmer, Edward Kennedy. After prattling on over some subject, Michael turned to callers. The first caller, having been introduced, ask some pointless question for Kennedy to answer. When Kennedy began to speak, there came from the caller’s end the unmistakable sound of a toilet flushing. A stunned and silent pause followed. It was a beautiful thing. It is a warm and happy memory of those days when California was still a good place to live.
