Maybe we’ll see the day when there’s a medical backlash like the one that drove quacks like the goat gland guy out of the country and then out of business 🐐
After his lucrative time broadcasting on million watt radio stations he set up just across the Mexican border ⚡️

@AccordionBruce @autolycos @ai6yr I think the link is this?
@knowprose @AccordionBruce @ai6yr yeah I should have put in "melts in your mouth, not in your hand" to avoid that train wreck of American history

Can’t recommend enough Gene Fowler and Bill Crawford’s book:
Border Radio:
Quacks, Yodelers, Pitchmen, Psychics, and Other Amazing Broadcasters of the American Airwaves
Lots of wacky stories. The Carter Family, the Goat Gland guy, Crazy Water 💦, Nazis in Mexico during WWII?

@autolycos @knowprose @AccordionBruce @coolcalmcollected I am pretty sure I have run into some of those people (quacks, pitchmen, plus conspiracy theorists and religious wackos etc.) in the broadcast business today, adjacent to amateur radio, so every once in awhile you run into some guy who says they own a high power radio station... you look it up, and it's an apocalyptic christian right wing cult shortwave station. 😬
