What I most remember about Briem was his in-studio sidekick, who'd pipe in now and again........."Major Minah", a minah bird.
What I remember most about Briem were some of his regular callers, especially those on the left—Lefty Louie, Lefty Louise, the Documentation Person, aka Doc, and, of course, Moscow Mary, who seemed to get her talking points straight from the Kremlin. She, along with Doc and Louie would sometimes call in to George Putnam’s daytime talk show.
