What began as a project to spotlight people making a difference in our community grew far beyond initial expectations.

When Art Brooks sat behind a mic for the first Rescuers show in 2020, COVID had just closed down workplaces across the country. It was not an auspicious time to start a new project, but it was the ideal time to introduce stories that would bring light and hope into a troubled era.

And so it did. For nearly six years and a total of 304 shows, Art shared stories of people and organizations who exhibited fortitude, creativity, compassion, and countless hours to help others and make this world a better place.

Hear how the program was started, some of the amazing guests who have been featured through the years, and how a diagnosis of Alzheimer's led to Art is choosing to say farewell to listeners around the globe.

For the final show, Art will be interviewed by his wife Dinah, whose role is typically booking guests and handling media. Special thanks go to those who supported the show through the years, both financially and through prayer, especially Rick and Chris Johnson of RC Fasteners who were steadfast encouragers.

On this, the last day, we leave that legacy of hope and light.

Art Brooks – you are a rescuer!

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
