Brudnoy's manner did change over the years.   In his later years, he 
talked like a cranky old guy, and wisecracked about his supposedly 
Pleistocene age.    In the late 1970s, though, the kindler gentler Dr 
Brudnoy was less prone to harsh talk and more willing to suffer fools 
gladly.

While a lot of us remember his days on WBZ, that wasn't his first 
talk-show stint: he'd appeared on 850 or 680 before then.  Maybe both?
