POPULARITY
While some may remember it as the episode that holds the World's Record for the LONGEST Chiropractic Podcast EVER Recorded (7 hours, 41 minutes, and 52 seconds), for others the Finale Episode of Spinal Column Radio memorializes a TRANSFORMATION — a transformation they have witnessed in themselves when it comes to chiropracTIC. Because of the content shared on SCR, they — like the host, Dr. Thomas Lamar — have experienced a "shift." For in their regular listening, they have witnessed in themselves a CHANGE — a change in how they now THINK, TEACH, and PREACH chiropractic. The "safety pin" between their ears has clicked into position and a "CONNECTION" has been made. They now GET the Big Idea. They now GET chiropracTIC and see themselves as chiropracTORs. They have undergone "The ter to TOR Evolution." Have YOU? Join Dr. Thomas Lamar (and Logan) for a final episode that not only recognizes this "shift" with Graduation and Celebration, but CONNECTS it all together with the SAFETY PIN. First Dr. Lamar and Listeners symbolically GRADUATE "ter to TOR" — marking this moment in history — as they join Life Chiropractic College West's Graduation Ceremony LIVE via a mic'ed-up Big TOR on Campus, Brett Jones, to vicariously walk across the platform with him. Not only will listeners "graduate" with Lamar, but he, through the POWER OF THE PODCAST, addresses the actual student graduates at Life West from his SCR Studio on their Big Screen. Afterwards, Life West President, Dr. Brian Kelly, joins the program to share some words with the newly "graduated" SCR-ter-to-TOR-Listeners. Then, if all that weren't enough, Life West Dean of Enrollment, Dr. Mary Flannery joins Lamar in-studio to talk about an exciting new program that allows "ter to TOR"graduate-listeners to CONNECT with Life West through their Safety Pin Project — grafting them in the family as "alumni" of their philosophical, vitalistic, subluxation-based institution. Plus participating SCR Listeners will receive a Spinal Column Radio Safety Pin Certificate, acting as a "diploma" that will remind and tell of this transformation graduation. Then the Finale Show kicks into party mode, as Dr. Lamar and Logan CELEBRATE four years of Spinal Column Radio. They break out STATS and share MEMORIES. Lamar goes Underground at the Tacoma EPOC to CONNECT with some of the Best SCR Backyard Listeners and Chiro Bros on the Planet (Aaron Toler, Seth Anderson, Nathan Wall, and Walt Scott) and then is back in studio to continue the celebration with some special people... people who share a special place in Lamar's 18-year "ter to TOR journey." On the guest list: Bill Esteb, Jim Dubel, Todd Waters, and Reggie Gold. Plus, for some Chiro-Comedy, Todd Water's "BJ" character has some final interactions with the SCR team, and Lamar shares some very fitting words from the real BJ written out of his previously unpublished work, The Great Undertow. And CONNECTING it all together in the spirit of the Safety Pin... is a history segment that was patiently waiting for Lamar to discover. On this episode Lamar pays tribute to Washington State ChiropracTIC Pioneer, Dr. HT Hughes and his Chiropractic Diamond Jubilee Commemorative Medal. His entire family of 9 drops in for a short stay, and then of course, Lamar wraps the whole thing with some CHARGING FINAL WORDS that are not to be missed.

BJ Palmer, the Developer of ChiropracTIC, is known for many things — one of which is the seemingly countless inspirational and THOT-provoking epigrams he scribed on the walls of the Palmer School of Chiropractic. In addition to impacting and encouraging all who read them, these quotes, in many ways described him... and worked to define him. Join Dr. Thomas Lamar for this very special episode of Spinal Column Radio in which he, along with Drs. Simon Senzon, Robert Borer, and Myron Brown — and of course, the ChiroPicker, Todd Waters — step back in time to discuss this fascinating characteristic associated with BJ of Davenport.

Chiro-Picker Todd Waters and Bay City, Michigan ChiropracTOR, TJ Neveau, gently push Lamar aside and team up to run the first ever SCR-Fan-Takeover Show. Join them for our final installment in this Remembering Reggie Collection that features an amazing ChiroPicker find of a 16 rpm phonograph record of Reggie Gold delivering a 2-hour patient lay lecture. The two play a number of clips from this rare recording and add some insightful commentary. This ChiroPicker find from the late 60's is Reggie at his classic best and belongs in every chiropracTOR's listening library; AND the Picker wants you to have it in exchange for visiting the SCR Box on the Wall to ensure this chiropracTIC resource of Spinal Column Radio will stay on the Internet Air for generations to come (listen at the 3 hour mark for more info). In addition, Waters and Neveau, cover a wide range of other TIC Topics and even find themselves having to deal with the Developer and Radio Pioneer, himself, Dr. BJ Palmer meddling with their broadcast. The question is... can Lamar really let go and let these two (or three) drive?
As we embark upon the first anniversary of the passing of chiropractic's legendary communicator Dr. Reggie Gold, Spinal Column Radio would like to stop, to not only pay homage... but to remember. Join Dr. Thomas Lamar for this special episode in which he presents an exclusive interview he conducted with Reggie at the Fall 2011 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend... which up until now, has not been shared with the profession. Join Reggie as he quickly walks a 1995 LACC grad (Dr. Lamar) through each one of the 33 Chiropractic Principles. Then Dr. Lamar welcomes an amazing woman in chiropracTIC and dear friend to Reggie, Kimberly Goreham, to recall and share her memories of Reggie in his last days when she was asked to care for him while Irene was away. Plus, Dr. Lamar shares what some of the other components of the Remembering Reggie Collection are, including an article he wrote that describes how he landed the "gig" of interviewing Reggie for the first time. Then to wrap it all up, Dr. Lamar returns in the Post Show plays what most likely was Reggie's last on stage talk to the profession. (Both the Reggie Gold interview and on stage presentation were recorded and at the Fall 2011 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend in Long Branch, New Jersey. Special Thanks to Dr. Damien Ciasullo for capturing Reggie's on stage talk).
"Early to bed. Early to rise. Work like hell and ADVERTISE!" These words from our profession's developer still echo throughout chiropractic. From the beginning, we chiropractors have been avid marketers — we've had to for our very survival. It's always been a sink or swim situation. And it will continue to be this way until our individual advertising and marketing efforts rise above the level of promotion-for-self. The message that we promote must be BIGGER than ourselves; it needs to go beyond that of self-promotion. Never in history have we had the opportunity like we do now to tell our story in a way that allows us to not only touch our community, but the whole world at the same time. The Internet gives us this ability. And so through mediums such as blogs, videos, podcasts, graphics, and social media, we can now begin to brand ourselves as chiropracTORs — not for ourselves — but for chiropracTIC. Because it is through this type of "bigger than self" promotion that we can truly begin affect change in the way our society does health care. Today on Spinal Column Radio, Dr. Thomas Lamar mines the depths of this topic by first answering a listener email on how chiropractic students can begin branding themselves as "TORS for the TIC" while still in school. His "nuts and bolts" explanation is then further fleshed out with inspiring interviews with the crew of the Chiropractic United Podcast (Drs. Deed Harrison, Fred DiDomenico, and Joe Ferantelli); chiropracTIC student, Brett Jones; and pre chiropracTIC student and long-time SCR listener, Patrick Dunphy. In addition, Dr. Lamar pulls out some examples of what this can look like. Plus, he even shares what can happen when you put a message out that is bigger than yourself. And if all that weren't enough, he's joined by a special in-studio "audience-of-one." (Chiropractic United and Patrick Dunphy interviews recorded at the 2012 California Jam in Costa Mesa, California). [Plus, Pre Show SPECIAL REPORT: Dr. Austin Davis take YOU the listener, on our behalf, Inside the DE Scene to Pay Homage to the one that DARED TO DEFEND THE PRINCIPLE -- Dr. Sid Williams].

It's all about the LOVE Baby, as Dr. Thomas Lamar delivers a special Spinal Column Radio for Valentines. Everything on today's episode has something to do with LOVE, and if it doesn't, then Lamar spins it so it DOES. Join him and his sweetheart wife, Keri, for an episode of romance as they bring you three fantastic interviews that drip with LOVE. First, from New Beginnings: what is it like to be a chiropractor when your spouse is ALSO a chiropractor?? Lamar finds out when he sits down with a panel of three married chiropractic couples, while a the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend, for and interview that quickly turns PG-13 (Drs. Kevin Jackson and Selina Sigafoose-Jackson; Drs. Peter Kevorkian and Patti Giuliano; and Drs. Dan and Kim Gambino). Then what would a LOVE Show be without producer/director Dr. Rhea Zimmerman talking about her movie Love Bomb — a chiropractic movie currently in production that explores love, human connection, and what we are capable of as human beings. Finally, they take you back to the 2012 California Jam where Lamar catches Innate Girl, Dr. Martha Nessler, behind the mic for a great interview. Find out why this "super hero TOR" is all about getting people to "fall in LOVE with chiropractic." Of course, that's just the core of their LOVE show, because there's plenty more to go around including their romantic dinner on His and Hers Balimo Chairs, LOVE Show Gong Show, Water's new book Chips From Sweet Home, Spizz, Chiro-Picker's Fresh Pics, and the latest developments from the CCE with a statement from Dr. Guy Riekeman — a chiropracTOR who sets the record straight, in LOVE. (Married Chiropractic Couples Panel Interview recorded at the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend in Long Branch, New Jersey. Dr. Martha Nessler interview recorded at the 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend, Costa Mesa, California. This episode is proudly sponsored by BalimoChairs.com).

DC-to-be, SCR Global Correspondent, and NZCC student Brian Lanoue joins Lamar in studio via remote from his New Zealand location as cohost for this special student episode. Listen in as Lamar gleans for our audience Lanoue's current perspective as a chiropractic student as they play and talk about two great interviews from the New Beginnings Vault. First they play Lamar's off-the-cuff Chiro Student Panel Interview conducted at the recent Fall 2012 Weekend to learn how students representing four different chiropractic colleges (UQTR, Life University, Sherman, and Palmer) are growing in their love of the principles and philosophy of chiropractic because of New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekends. Then they dig a little deeper in the Vault to bring out Lamar's Fall 2011 interview with Dr. Ron Castellucci, an associate professor at Sherman Chiropractic College, who not only loves the TIC but is able to bring a fresh and real perspective to his students by remaining in active chiropractic practice. Plus, Mairead Rothman, editor of Spizz Magazine, joins the boys for her regular Spizz Report which she deftly spins with a student angle. (Student Panel Interview -- Jad Tannous, Rafael Rosado, Ricardo Alvarez, Anna Elkins, Shane Zimmer, and Dr. Andrew De Saro -- recorded at the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend.

Whether you know Irene for her popular Board Review courses or as the loving wife to late chiropractic icon, Reggie Gold, it won't take long before you understand why she is loved by so many. Then, with her blessing, they air what was in her opinion (and the opinion of many others) the best talk her husband, Reggie Gold, ever gave: Valley of the Blind. This timeless and classic talk, delivered in 1972 at Palmer Davenport, will move you to plant your flag for chiropracTIC to lead the masses with conviction and determination. Finally, in the Post Show, Dr. Lamar plays for the first time on Spinal Column Radio a series of "Bonus Material" questions.

Then he serves up an amazing interview from the Fall 2011 NB with a TOR who is "grounded in the philosophy," Dr. Peter Kevorkian.

It's easier and more possible than you may think. Then Dr. Lamar sits down with a chiropracTOR who, you could say, has "retired in practice," 1951 Palmer School of Chiropractic graduate, Dr. Pierre Gravel.

BREAKING NEWS-- AB2109, an alpha numerical confluence charged with controversy — a controversy that we have been following here on Spinal Column Radio. This is a bill that is traversing its way through the various hoops of the California Legislature — a bill that slaps the face of parents' right to make a medical decision on behalf of their child. If enacted into law, parents wishing to opt their children out of the state’s mandatory vaccination schedule for public and private school attendance — which current law allows them to do — will now have to have a conversation with a medical doctor about the pro’s and con’s of such a decision... and then must obtain that doctor’s cosignature should they still wish to decline the procedure. ChiropracTOR and Life College of Chiropractic West philosophy instructor Dr. Eric McKillican joins us on Spinal Column Radio to fill us in on the details that went on behind the doors of the June 27, 2012, California Senate Health Care Committee hearing on the bill. As one of two chiropractors in attendance, he tells us what happened and why actor-commedian, Rob Schneider, was there.

BREAKING NEWS-- Like a thief in the night last year, it happened in Washington State. And now it's poised and ready to happen in California. And if it happens in California, you can rest assure that the rest of the states will fall in line like dominos. On February 23, 2012, Democratic California assembly member, and pediatric physician, Dr. Richard Pan, introduced Assembly Bill 2109 regarding vaccination exemptions. “This bill, if passed, would require parents to obtain the signature of a 'health care practitioner' for a personal beliefs/religious exemption. MDs, nurse practitioners, and physician’s assistants can sign. Naturopaths and chiropractors cannot. The signature will need to be obtained on a separate form provided by the Department of Public Health, which states that the health care practitioner has provided risk and benefit information to the parent.” On this special "Breaking News" edition of Spinal Column Radio, Chiropractor, Dr. Tim O’Shea, author of Vaccination is Not Immunization and well known advocate for parental rights regarding immunology and natural health care joins us once again to give us the 411.

BREAKING NEWS -- On March 16, 2012, The Council of Chiropractic Education (CCE) held it's first "Stakeholder Meeting"in which it invited select groups of the profession — an effort demonstrating it's attempt to build bridges and resolve the record-breaking list of violations that were handed down to it from the Department of Education National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity's (NACIQI) December reaccreditation hearings. NACIQI found CCE to be in violation of 42 different issues. Most notable however was the "43rd violation" in which they stated: “In addition to the numerous issues identified in the staff report, NACIQI asks [CCE] to demonstrate compliance with Section 602.13 dealing with the wide acceptance of its standards, policies, procedures, and decisions; and to address how its standards advance quality in chiropractic education.” NACIQI granted the CCE continued accrediting authority provided that it could adequately resolve the list of violations within a year's time. The "Stakeholder Meeting" was its first attempt to resolve issues surrounding being more representative of the differences in philosophy that exist in our profession. Unfortunately, as we'll find out from one of the attendees, the meeting ended up being quite the opposite. Today on Spinal Column Radio we welcome back the cofounder of the Movement for Chiropractic Quality and Integrity (MCQI), Dr. Steve Tullius, to find out the the "Stakeholder Meeting" was just that — "an attempt to 'stake' anyone that dare question CCE authority or make constructive comments regarding chiropractic education to the wall."
