The Carter Family has a legendary place in country music. Their songs,
and the image of a family band playing wholesome music, have
influenced countless of younger musicians who still play their
repertoire. This story will explain how the powerful border radio
stations of the 1930s and ‘40s, located in Mexico, first helped spread
the family’s parlor-style country music to a mass audience. We’ll also
hear from Janette Carter, who runs the Carter Fold in southwestern
Virginia.

Background

Who could imagine that when Dr. John Romulus Brinkley's dubious
Milford, Kansas, medical practice ran into trouble, it would lead to
one of the most influential periods in the development of country
music?
