Nope, because it makes money off a scam that pleases brain dead listeners.

Some times that true but Punnett and Knapp  have some really cool shows.

I almost wish Art Bell would come back, not to do Coast to Coast and the paranormal thing, but to do his free form current events and political show like he did in the early 90s. He's an amazing radio show host in that respect. He doesn't really have any political leanings but likes to tackle individual subjects albeit there was always a subtle undertone of the lurking conspiracy theory which kept things interesting. He was good at the "what if" style of conversation.

If Art Bell came back to do his current events show in the same freeform home grown style he used to do, Id be all over it.

I miss Ian Punnett  the show has lost all most of its credibility Wells and are hacks. George Knapp is the only good thing about it not on much

I could not agree more. Ian Punnett was the only good hoast on that show. That old fart Art Bell, Mr.Incredible story Noory, and then the new (Ill agree with the loonies long as I get to be on c2c) guys.

Seriously,...  What the hell is sci-fi/fantasy radio comming to!!??  

I heard hundreds of shows,... but, I think enough is enough.

Scfi/ /fantasy ?   I would agree most of it crazy and has no credibility but not all of it.    Punnett  showed  you could talk about the unknown and have a level head at the same time and find quests that have some credibility.

Ian is great and I'm glad he's still hosting the show one Sunday a month. I was sorry to see him go due to his health issue (severe tinnitus) but at the same time, he was a softpeddler when it came to guests on the show. That I think is the one thing missing from all the current guests except George Knapp (possibly because he's a reporter) is someone who asks hard questions. George Noory seems incapable, Rob Simone is too busy licking the toes of any B-rate celeb he can, John Wells guests are insane. The show had a much harder edge with Art (who Hazzard was NOT an old fart IMO) that it lacks with other hosts. The context of the show now also changed I think with 9/11 in that conspiracy theories were a generally underground sort of topic and they really came to the forefront after that. The focus of the show was less UFO, less ghost/paranomal and more political until George Noory took over. He took it into the realm of a paranormal book interview night after night. It as a show still has good parts but overall I think it needs a revamp if it's going to keep its listeners interested.

Anybody know of torrent site to download current shows. Used to get off Demonoid but they have been hacked

I disagree.
I love Wells (a lot, love the controversial). I love knapp and noory. But wells is intriguing.
It got to where I didn't listen to the Ian nights. He was the one who grated on my nerves. But hey, I cant run C2C so I just avoid what I want to.
I am not impressed with the Deacon stuff, and try hard to avoid the Christian dogma.

It is worth becoming a member.

I would really like to see a thread here to be able to discuss the C2C shows.
