Art Bell Returns! He'll be joined by parapsychologist Russell Targ who'll speak about his latest research into non-local awareness and remote viewing.

It's a conspiracy.
Ok... someone had to say it.
Actually, I never knew that Bell was off the air.
Art Bell rocks. Admit to having enjoyed him for years but I am not a big fan of George.
The Thrilla from Manila!
Will he be broadcasting from the Philippines?
Yes. I believe he took another breather when his wife passed away some months ago.
The times I did listen, it was comic relief. Nut cases one and all. But at least there was entertainment value. ;-)
I thought he was a dead corpse.
Took another breather? He took another wife!
I'm not a regular listener, but I tune in once in a while if I'm up late. This is my email, copied to Art Bell and Steven Quayle today:
Dear Mr. Noory:
Your guest last night, Steven Quayle, is either a bona fide lunatic or a self-promoting genius. His apparent sole source of income is turning every imaginable bit of news from the natural and man-made world into a disaster on the order of Armageddon. This must get him lots of hits at his web-site and some book sales to the aluminum foil hat crowd.
In this particular instance, his commentary on the no-knock ruling by the Supreme Court is pure hooey. He makes it sound as if cops are going to go off half-cocked all over the country, busting down doors with their guns blazing. When cops called, he suddenly is all pro-cop, worrying about suspects blasting away at cops when they don't know who is busting down their door.
First of all, these are cases involving warrants. Warrants mean going in front of a judge. A no-knock warrant requires extra showing of a particularized need to dispense with knocking on the door. So there is judicial oversight. Second of all, the cops don't want to get killed, so they will devise procedures and use equipment that will assure their safety. He was puking more pea soup a la Linda Blair on the rest of the issues you covered as well.
For your part, you did your bobble-head imitation, saying "gee whiz, you're so right about that" every 20 seconds.
May I suggest that you listen to some Art Bell tapes? Mr. Bell at least has the good sense to ask some informed and probing questions when guests come on announcing the end of the world. I realize the program thrives on a certain amount of sensationalism, but this kind of over-the-top stuff just kills the credibility of the show.
Sincerely,
Art Bell is a top drawer radio personality. I am not much of a fan of Noory. But Bell can interview anyone and make it interesting, even when the person is way out there. Glad to hear he is back. He's had his share of difficulties.
The quality using the temp setup is actually awesome.
