The thing about Noory is that he cheerleads but it’s dishonest cheerleading. You can tell he’s just indulging them to keep them talking. Art would do the same thing, sort of, but was less committal somehow.

George will cheerlead anything. Sometimes things become more absurd than entertaining, and I have to turn off the radio.

Art was the most skilled interviewer I ever heard. He could handle an absolute hard science guy with as much skill as a loon claiming to have an alien in his freezer. People kept their dignity around Art, and so they kept talking and telling their own story. Bell even handled the woman who claimed an alien reptilian lover with gentleness.

Listening to Bell's show was like sitting around a campfire all night swapping stories. I miss it very much, and hope Art really is coming back. In a number of cities, stations that dropped Coast after Art left are open, if he goes the broadcast route. George still has a high number of affiliates, but his audience is way down and the affiliates are no longer the local blowtorches.
