About this episode

Kim Curry shares his journey as a radio broadcaster and his battle with Multiple Sclerosis.

Kim Curry was a radio broadcaster for 33 years in some of America’s finest cities: Pueblo, Knoxville, San Antonio, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Miami. Curry was a DJ in different time slots and obtained the position of Program Director at two of America’s legendary stations: KTSA-AM San Antonio and Power 96, Miami. The diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis forced Curry to retire from broadcasting in 2005 resulting in relocation, the search for doctors, therapists, and emotional family strain.. Eight years of rapid physical decline was halted by the magic of modern medicine, chronicled in his memoir, “Come Get Me Mother, I’m Through.” Curry has continued his writing journey, with two other published books. “The Death of Fairness” and “Bonnie’s Law, The Return to Fairness" which was an “Amazon Number One Best Seller.” Tell Me What Happened features the music of Susan Salidor.
