If one means by "talk show" a regularly scheduled show where on air folk
responded to phoned questions and comments, something called "party

There was some hot-headed right-winger, Joe ???, who was nationally
syndicated in the 60s. Used to hear him on the radio in Austin back in
those days, possibly on KLBJ, of all stations.

Yep, that was him...

He definitely was the first hard core rightie to get any traction. I
remember him from 1960, in Phoenix, on KUPD.
