| 1. What is the purpose of Dr. Laura's program?
Dr. Laura is available to help people with a wide range of personal, work, and family problems. She "preaches, teaches and nags" about morals, values, ethics, and personal responsibility.
2. I have a dilemma. How do I call Dr. Laura?
- Call the program at 1-800 DR LAURA (1-800-375-2872) between the hours of 11:00AM - 2:00 PM Pacific Time (that's 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Central Time/2 p.m. - 5 p.m. Eastern Time).
- Be sure to turn your radio OFF (not just down) when you call. You will be able to hear the program if you are put on hold.
- Once your call gets answered by our screener, be prepared to state your question. The screener may ask you questions about your dilemma. Please be open and honest with our screeners so they can best help you. Tell the screener how you expect to be helped by Dr. Laura.
- Write your question down, so you don't forget it if you are put on hold waiting for Dr. Laura to pick up.
- When speaking with Dr. Laura:
- You may briefly hear some static on the phone line. Immediately after that, you'll be on the air live with Dr. Laura. Once Dr. Laura welcomes you into the program, please start your call with your question.
- Relax!
- Stick with the original story you told the screener.
- If Dr. Laura asks you a "Yes" or "No" question, don't respond with, "I don't know."
3. I have a comment for Dr. Laura, not a dilemma. Do I still call the radio program?
No. The on-air phone lines are only for people with dilemmas. For comments, please email Dr. Laura, or write to her at:
Dr. Laura Schlessinger
P.O. Box 8120
Van Nuys, CA 91409
Dr. Laura gets thousands of requests for help, and it is impossible for her to respond to those requests personally outside of her radio program. Calling into the radio program is the best option for getting through to Dr. Laura.
5. I want to call into the program, but I don't want to use my real name. Can I use an alias?
Yes, you may use a fake name. Notify the screener that you'd like to use a different name. Once you are on air, make sure to answer to your alias when Dr. Laura addresses you.
6. Are there transcripts available of Dr. Laura's daily program?
There are no transcripts of the daily audio program You can, however, listen to the past audio programs by becoming a Dr. Laura Premium Family member. You can also listen to the call of the day HERE.
