Kvuo recently deleted portions of the article regarding the popularity of the show with the explanation of "obviously untrue." Looking into this, I find conflicting evidence: Edell's Bio (published by dozens of radio stations) claims that it is "America's second most popular syndicated radio talk show...heard in more than 400 radio stations."
Talkers Magazine, on the other hand, places his weekly audience size at 1 million listeners, ranking 26th in their 2005 survey.
Looked hard at Arbitron, but I am not sure if they track market shares or audience sizes for syndicated shows. Hoping you can shed more light on this, Kvuo. dpotter 03:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Hilarious, we have a high-school dropout telling us the nature of the medical literature, enough so that he has concluded Dr. Dean is a "kook". This is exactly why wikipedia will always be worthless- a source of democratic "truthness" rather than anything apporaching objective reality. Science doesn't conform to your instincts, value judgement, and political beliefs/aspirations. I doubt you could even tell me what a double-blind placebo-controlled protocol even means. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.50.229.231 ( talk) 00:30, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering if anybody who gets his show has heard his opinion on online audio. I used to listen to his Real stream around the turn of the century and at the time he was big into building what he wanted to be the best medical website in existence - yet today I can't even find a podcast.
Previously there was sentence that Dr. Edell had been married several times, I forget the number, and was deleted. That kind of personal information makes these articles more interesting, though maybe less then flattering. BillMcGonigle 21:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I second Bill's suggestion. In addition, I've heard or read somewhere that several of his (six?) children have been in and out of drug rehab. I'd like to know if there's any truth to it. LNelson —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 38.115.185.2 ( talk) 21:46, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
Why is there a controversy about this? Two anonymous ip addresses seem to keep adding back blurbs about catholic beliefs. Don't you need some kind of source for something that is controversial or debatable like this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilikesalsa ( talk • contribs) 20:34, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
I removed this section because it's unsourced and could get wikipedia sued. Here is the deleted text, but I warn you that it would be foolish to reinsert it without finding sourcing first.
His programs are frequently extremely Anti-Catholic in nature and he frequently criticizes the Pope and the Catholic Religion in general. His criticisms go far beyond being just critical in nature and border on extreme Anti-Catholic Bias. A good number of Catholic listeners have complained about his offensive anti Catholic lectures but have been unable to get him to stop. The only response many have taken has been to shun products of his sponsors.Reverend Distopia 22:08, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
A further note: no one has re-added any of the information which was removed. I noticed Silentsam242's statement so I have to say, if you read this, please do not put that section back on unless you have some source materials. This is very serious. The fact that you yourself show very clear bias against Edel shows that you probably shouldn't be working on this page anyway. However, the least you can do is find some documentation to back up your claims. When you write potentially defamatory statements about an individual without proof, you can be sued in court. If you don't care about that, that's perfectly fine, but do us the favor and help us keep Wikipedia afloat by not placing it in the position where it might be sued. Non-profit organizations can't afford to be sued.Reverend Distopia 17:52, 4 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reverend Distopia ( talk • contribs)
