Does anyone else listen to Coast to Coast AM? I'm listening to it right now. Ian just announced that Art Bell will be hosting the weekends again. For those of you who don't know Art Bell's wife just died. So he's probably returning to the weekends to fill the void. I think Coast to Coast AM rules. It's the only talk radio show worth listening too. Hell I got an IPod just so I can download the last night show and listen to them during the daytime.

I listen to it but I can't take any of it seriously.
One of my hobbies is keeping up with cults and quasi religions (UFOlogy, Scientology, Rael, New Age). If you don't take it seriously, it's actually pretty creative fiction. Sort of like LOTR in its complexity (Tolkien actually made up a history and various languages surrounding LOTR.)
Last night George had a little fun with a lady who couldn't keep her story straight. She was being visited by alien beings who were kind enough to give her the inside scoop. Painfully hilarious. I cringed the whole way through.

Yea, I found the time traveler John Titor hard to believe. He made prediction that haven't come true yet. I just found out that John Titor is actually a 12 year old boy who was doing John Titor in Role Playing. Jeez some people take Role Playing wwwaaayyyy too seriously. It's fun radio though.

I can't detect if the hosts actually believe in this stuff.

They seem to have a lot of in depth knowledge of the various, for lack of better term, movements. But every once in a while I note a sense of humor.

If I had to guess I'd say that for the most part the hosts are having a good laugh off-air a lot of the time.

Credit where it's due ...
his After Dark newsletter has some interesting tidbits and links for the more intrepid of y'all. A little less meandering 'round the details and veracity.

I refuse to slide my dial over to AM.

Art Bell's wife just died.then they can discuss ways how to get in contact with people in the afterlife or how to revive the deceased.

The AM dial is better than pop/hip hop music.

Agreed.
Besides, AM provides me with current info on avalanches, which, in contrast, are still MUCH more interesting than hip/hop and pop music. Better timbre, catchier melody.

It is amusing sometimes, its a case study in pathologial liars.

I listened one night last week and heard "richard c hoagland" declaring that the fact that you couldnt watch NASA physically retrieve the Stardust Mission capsule on live TV was proof that the "only explanation" was that a false capsule had been switched with the real one, so that the evidence it contained wouldnt disprove most science about comets and planets.

Or something like that.

I listen to C2C as often as I can (can't very much anymore). I take everything I hear on the show with a grain of salt, yes, but there are some new and exciting theories and topics that do arise from time to time that really do make a lot of sense.

I really like it when Art or George finally had enough with someone's BS and hang up on them... makes for great radio.

There are things on that show that are true, too good to be true, and are blatant attempts at trying to be important. For those last two, :sniper:.

I actually picked up one of Hoagland's vids someplace ... the one with the tetrahedral geometry and Cydonia study.
It has some NASA footage of a "peculiar incident" that i coincidentally had seen on our local news about 6 or 7 years prior, that never got a legit explanation.
