"Doctor Burpo", as he was known, was a supporter of what is today classed as conservative, anti-communist politics mixed with fundamental religion. His broadcasting signature was the sound effect of a closing door announcing his intention to pray in his radio "Throne Room". His fame appears to have died with him.
