Noory is listenable, but I prefer Art Bell because Bell is absolutely PRO Gun second amendment. More intangibly, there is a twinkle in his eye that comes through in his voice -- when callers relate weird strange and wacky stories, he always responds in a way that is so cool! I get the feeling that he politely pretends he believes them, but likely thinks they're as kooky as I do! But he's never disrespectful, just fun. It's as if he's not taking it all too seriously, but rather as a means of entertainment. I picture him in the studio with a big grin on his face motioning to his sound engineers, "Listen to this nut! We've got a live one!"
Noory, on the other hand, strikes me as incurably liberal and gullible -- I'm always left with the feeling that he believes every word he's told, and he's oh-so-serious about it!
