I've been listening since god knows when, when Art Bell made the show the hit that it is, before he became an anti-American crackpot. The show with George Noory is SO much better than Art's version. George is a more humble, honest host, and he has the patience of a saint when listeners call in with stories that even forum members would consider wacky. Funny thing about coast to coast.... when Art Bell went off the deep end with one of his own life "conspiracies" and George took over the weeknight version of the show, the ratings skyrocketed SO high, that Art "came out of (his 4th) retirement" to do "weekends". Unfortunately, he is way too "end of the world" and "all gloom & doom, all the time" that he's become unlistenable and aggravating, with his incredible impatience with callers, his arrogance, and.... why on earth does he have proven frauds on his show constantly, like "Major" Ed Dames, the fraudulent "Remote Viewer" that's shunned by every one of his former colleagues? Before the presidential election, Art was in OVERDRIVE attacking President Bush, America as a nation, and doing politics politics politics when he is so patently uneducated on the subject. AND he continues to do it! If I WANT politics, the airwaves are overfilled with the subject 24/7, it's not why I tune in to Coast to Coast!
For those who haven't heard the show yet, skip the weekends of "Gloom & Doom & Death & Destruction with Art Bell" and stick to weeknights with George Noory.

I must disagree !! Artie blows Noory away as far as interviewing goes. I agree with you about certian guests like Dames and BS Morton but I suspect he's getting some cash back on their sales. I never listen when Dames or morton are guests. Art came back to do weekends as the show was slipping in ratings. At least that's what I heard. Noory let's people ramble on reading crap way too long. He also at times sounds really uninformed. He is a bad interviewer.
