That’s why I always liked Art Bell. There were some really looney guests, but also some very thoughtful content; and Art was a great interviewer, and a great ‘straight-man’ to some of them, without ever being insulting or obvious.
I developed the bad habit of listening to radio through ear-plugs while I fell asleep, and Art Bell was always on in those days. George Noory was interesting for awhile, if often somewhat dense and absent-minded; but eventually he disappeared from our local stations as well. Now, it’s John Batchelor, on my favorite local talk station. I like Batchelor too, by the way. He’s also a very thoughtful interviewer, and I’ve learned about many things that I wouldn’t have found without his promotion of them.)
(And then there was Phil Hendry - brilliant! - but I could only take so much of him...)
I’d like to listen to this, when Art comes back. I saw this on his website:
“If you would like a dedicated device to play Internet radio, there are a couple choices out there. Look for the CC-WiFi or CC-Wifi 2 from C.Crane. Use promo code “DARKMATTER” to get a special gift and give us a credit.”
Does that mean that if I get a wifi radio, I can listen to this? We have wifi for the television now, since we ditched cable TV...
JT, embarrassingly ignorant about this stuff.
Acc to post 69, the NV station will carry Art. The call letters are KNYE 95.1 (Pahrump, NV) Acc to their website, they have streaming. So last night I tried to find that station on my Internet radio, and, BINGO, it was there so I programed it (preset button).
I guess one could email the station to confirm that Bell will be on the station. karen@knye.com
I guess the call letters stand for Kingdom of Nye.
Art & George have one thing in common, both with military service in their background. Probably the last folks we’ll hear on Coast to Coast who can claim that.
