Lies, Sex & Radio at NBPL
The North Bend Public Library welcomes local historian Dick Wagner on Wednesday, July 17 at 6:30 PM for a talk on the colorful life and career of the famed radio host M. Sayle Taylor. M. Sayle Taylor was a self-proclaimed sex and marriage expert who rose to national prominence in the 1930s with his radio show the “Voice of Experience.” Before his rise to fame, he was closely connected to the Coos Bay area and served as Marshfield High principal in 1922 and 1923 and as North Bend School Superintendent from 1923 through 1926. However, despite his illustrious career as a successful media psychologist, he lacked professional credentials and qualifications, and he led a secret life that concealed a dark history of crime and deception. Dr. Dick Wagner holds a Ph.D from the University of Denver. He has a long history of public service in North Bend and was honored, along with his wife Judy, to be named North Bend’s Citizens of the Year in 2003. This presentation is part of the Summer Reading Program at the North Bend Public Library. For more information, please contact the North Bend library at (541) 756-0400 or at nbservices@northbendlibrary.org.
