Art Brooks
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.
Art and his wife Dinah have lived in Arizona more than 30 years. He’s an avid golfer and made his first hole-in-one the week before taping the first Rescuers episode!

RESCUERS
Rescuers, with host Art Brooks, spotlights unsung heroes who are changing and saving lives on a daily basis, and who are doing it, not for praise or glory, but because their hearts are in helping others. The show aims to honor those “rescuers” and to inspire others to find ways to make this world a better place.
Some days the show will introduce listeners to someone who found a unique way to solve a problem; and some days it will be a story of sacrifice or generosity; and some days it may be outright heroism.
“I want to bring compelling interviews of people from all walks of life,” Art says. “I want to pass on the stories of these courageous people who are at the front lines of changing lives.”
Join the Rescuers to be inspired!
