He was so fun to listen to when i worked at night. I enjoyed how no matter how outlandish his guest assertion was, he played it completely straight and asked them questions.
“Ghost stories for adults” was how I thought of Coast to coast, but pretty entertaining radio while I stayed up late nights working on my Economics dissertation.... He was a unique and talented character.
He was quite a colorful character. I saw a picture of him when he was in NYC for a book signing tour, circa mid-90s.
He was decked out in cowboy boots and leather jacket. He towered over every one around him in the pic. Looked pretty toned as well. I read he was 6’2” and over 200 lbs.

Listened many, many years ago — radio like I never heard before. Halloween season was particularly entertaining.
