Nobody has said that Dean Edell had the first syndicated radio show! His claim was that he was the first to do a medical advice talkshow on a national network. I'm coming to think that this is correct.
Ohhhhhh! Never mind. Edell's claim to the first syndicated medical advice show is probably correct. There may have been a few syndicated shrink shows prior to Edell, like Dr. Toni Grant, but they were (obviously) focused on emotional problems, and the hosts were normally psychologists, not psychiatrists (MDs).
