I remember hearing some CRAZY stuff on shortwave several years ago. Super far-out survivalist/armageddon stuff, bizarro ultra-right wing conspiracy theories.
Funny, Michael Moore is just as far out there, and he's in movie theatres. How bad is that?
It's still there. It comes and goes. Alex Jones, "Christian Media"(survivalist marketing), gold bugs, Bill whatshisname of
"Behold a Pale Horse(Rider?)" reruns on occasion. And the looney left as well.
But there's a lot of other stuff too. People who like producing their own shows. Obscure (covers, flipsides,
novelty, celebs, etc) music from the 60s and 70s, 80-100 year old recordings, current novelty, avant-garde,
vanity performances, stories, 30s/40s/50s stuff, various talk shows (some even have 800#s).
If you're interested, ilgradio.com offers a slightly behind quarterly db of shortwave station times free to non radio
professionals.
And Michael Moore? Much louder laughing on the way to the bank than the Alex Jones/"Profit" Stair/Dr. Scotts of the world, I should think.
