I worked a graveyard shift for a while and would listen to C2C on my "lunch" breaks at 2AM. It was a fun show to listen to at that weird time of night by yourself.
It was far less fun any time George Noory was guest hosting. He just let guests run unchallenged. Art Bell was good at going on the guest's journey without letting them go too far off in the weeds.
- Spooky23 5y agoArt always felt more like satire to me. Noory is just another radio guy and tends to inject conservative radio trope into something that was really pure fun and wacky stuff.
- batman-farts 5y agoThe few times I’ve listened to Noory since he permanently took over, it seems like his guests almost always have something to sell. The funniest example I can remember (and this was > 5 years ago) was a guy whose spiel was, “the Pope is the Antichrist, one day soon the UFOs will appear above the balcony at the Vatican, the Pope will introduce the alien ambassador, that will be the beginning of the end times… and if you want to know more, buy my $29.95 book and DVD set!” If it’s not like that, it’s healing crystals or some other weird alternative health stuff. In that way, Noory practically turned the show into SkyMall for the conspiracy subculture. Art’s guests just as often exhibited an earnest belief in whatever weirdness they were bringing.
