Before Art Bell retired the show was called coasttocoastam this is the website also. Art searched and tried a number of replacements and settled on Goerge Noory. Art used to show up and do the weekend shows for a while.
I actually liked Noory over Bell.
Admittedly I only caught the tail end of Art Bell, but Noory seemed to have a better radio voice. Silky smooth introductions of topics and guests that put the hook in.
He could introduce characters that had just enough charisma to be considered credible. Awesome stuff.
All crap, but really well done.
