"At any rate, Dr. Laura emailed me today saying she thought I was
being unkind and misleading for pondering said question and provided
me with her full credentials. In the spirit of fair and balanced
reporting, here they are:
PhD in Physiology (Medical School) of Columbia University in NYC
Post-Doctoral Certification: Marriage/Family/Child Therapy from
USC
License in California: MB14914 Marriage/Family/Child Therapist
Taught psychotherapy techniques and abormal psychology
at Pepperdine for years...also in private practice
32 years of helping people via radio/books, etc. (including 10 NY
Times Bestsellers) and columns (NewsMax, etc.)
She has a point. She is a doctor. But I'm thinking I match up pretty
well: "

I have a Dr. Laura story that will only interest true Dr.Laura-philes.
Twenty-five years ago I had a college internship (I should point out a
CSUN college internship) at a tiny, 5000 watt radio station in
Thousand Oaks. In a major coup - Dr. Laura, coming off one of her
peaks into this, certainly a deep valley, of her career, took an on-
air afternoon slot. She came into the station every weekday around 2pm
with an assistant and a dog. I think it was a Doberman. I really like
dogs, so when I went in to introduce myself (eager-beaver intern that
I was) I leaned down to pet the dog. The assistant yelled at me, "DO
NOT PET THE DOG!" No explanation was given - but I assumed the obvious
and backed out of the studio. This was the middle of nowhere and I
pondered over what dark forces could be tracking Dr. Laura that she
travels with an attack dog???
Later that week I noticed that Dr. Laura was on the air with listeners
even when the phone lines weren't lit up. I was told that almost no
one ever called the station, not surprising since our signal only
reached about six square blocks. The Doc just played old tapes of old
phone conversations, and did the tags and bumpers live (that is radio
lingo - it comes in so handy). While this was pragmatic, it seems a
tiny bit unethical?
Whatever. Enjoyed your panel Saturday morning Tod. It reminded me of
the time my boyfriend got drunk and used the word fuck five times
during a wedding toast. You are never dull.
