"Beyond Reality" or "Beyond Credibility" on the Radio

[MineralMan]

I was awake very early this morning for a while, due to a disturbing dream, so I turned on WCCO 830, my go to AM radio station. A show, "Beyond Reality" was on the air. The host of the show, who I have never heard before, was interviewing a woman who quite literally made no sense at all. Supernatural phenomena, my ass!

While I realize that "Insomniac Radio" in the overnight hours has long been a popular thing, I have to wonder about the audience for such nonsense. I guess there needs to be an "Art Bell" type of program around, but "Beyond Reality" is truly "Beyond Belief."

1. I would think that calling

the show “Beyond Reality” tells you all you want to know.

2. I tune into those shows sometimes and last night was a doozy!

Hours and hours spent on the death in 1965 of the gossip columnist Dorothy Kilgallon
Very sincere guest was convinced she was murdered and wants justice done.
Yikes - how many remember Dorothy?

3. I remember Dorothy Kilgallon.

She was one of the first celebrities just for being a celebrity. I never did figure out what else she was.

4. Listened to a couple of minutes of the podcast and had to shut it off...

These guys seem to believe this stuff. Tomorrow night will be a discussion of alien breeding programs. A few nights ago it was explained just what to do if you have been abducted.

I used to stay up at night listening to Long John Nebel. He had a long list of guests with ghost stories, alien abductions, the Heironymous machine, and every other whacky thing you can imagine. Even had a guy who claimed he was a Venusian. His regulars were The Amazing Randi and a few other skeptics and scientists who laughed about all this stuff.

Long John wrote a book called "The Way Out World" which is a fun read if you can find it. He never once believed any of this stuff, but it was great radio.
