The good doctor has been friends with Russ since his days back at the old KEGL Sunday night talk show.
During the summer/fall of 2006, Russ invited Dr. Thornton back on the show one day per week. The doctor provides his insight into the dynamics of the show and how Russ interacts with his fellow employees.
At some point in time he simply stopped coming in on Wednesday's. To the best of my knowledge, it was never mentioned on the air why he stopped coming.
Dr. Thornton returned to the air when the show made the move to mornings. We learned that his wife had passed away during the time. (Sorry for the loss, sir.) Dr. Thornton currently (as of 01/2011) makes semi-regular appearances on the show.
Dr. Thornton has a new website, DrScottSays.com where he, "discusses life, relationships and the Russ Martin Show, with added reflections on Zen and postings of original music."
Daily Show Summaries are now available, thanks to a listener of the show.
They are listed under the "Odds and Ends" drop-down menu.
After many weeks of frustration, I gave up on the live Twitter feed here on the side of the site. Some days it would work, others it wouldn't.
So, if you want to follow me on Twitter, you'll have to do so by following me @donsierra.
