In The Human Subject, Dr Adam Rutherford and Dr Julia Shaw investigate the historic threads connecting modern day medicine to its often brutal origins. This is the story of a farmer from the small town of Milford, Kansas. The year is 1916 and the town has a population of only 200. The farmer is looking for a cure to his failing libido, so one day he decides to walk into the town doctor's office and ask for help with his ‘flat tire'. The doctor, John R. Brinkley tells the farmer that he'd have no problem with his virility if he had the testicles of a goat. According to the legend, the farmer asks ‘Well, why don't you put ‘em in?'. Soon after the operation, a second man comes to see Brinkley, a man by the name of Bill Stittsworth. And so starts a series of similar transplants across the United States, leading to hope, joy, suffering and ultimately, death for many of the men who went under the small-town doctor's knife. In this episode Julia and Adam hear from Pope Brock, author of Charlatan: America's Most Dangerous Huckster, the Man Who Pursued Him, and the Age of Flimflam.Presenters: Dr Adam Rutherford and Dr Julia Shaw Producer: Simona Rata Assistant Producer: Mansi Vithlani Executive Producer: Jo Meek Sound Design: Craig Edmondson Commissioner: Dan ClarkeAn Audio Always production for BBC Radio 4.

In the early 1900s, a “doctor” named John Romulus Brinkley became rich and famous by offering a unique cure to men suffering from ED and an array of other malodies: he implanted goat testicles in them. You might guess that not many guys would be willing to go under the knife for that, but you'd be wrong. For decades Brinkley was backing up the money truck to his clinics that operated all around the country. Eventually, however, scrutiny from the medical community and a mountain of malpractice lawsuits left the millionaire discredited and penniless, with presumably a lot of unused goat balls. On this episode, we speak with Brinkley historian Pope Brock, who wrote a terrific book about the crazy goings-on called "Charlatan: America's Most Dangerous Huckster, the Man Who Pursued Him, and the Age of Flimflam." Truth is stranger than fiction is a bit of a cliche, but damn if it isn't appropriate in this case.

What do goat testicles and a radio station in Mexico in the 1930's have to do with country music legends The Carter Family, the popularization of country music, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? A lot! And it's all due to one man: John R. Brinkely, the notorious quack doctor of the 1920-30's, who made millions of dollars implanting goat testicles into impotent men, all the while implanting country music into the hearts of radio listeners around the world. Join us as we sit down at the table to talk about Mr. Brinkley with Pope Brock, author of Charlatan: America's Most Dangerous Huckster, the Man Who Pursued Him, and the Age of Flimflam.
