(70,686 posts)I remember when NOORY announced he had gotten the BELL gig permanently, was just verklempt, saying how it was something beyond his dreams and then he sounded like threatening, saying that he was going to keep this gig for the rest of his life or however long he could.
Granted that BELL is eccentric and difficult to accommodate, but he has the spark that NOORY will never have.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)He even invited the editor of the Skeptical Inquirer on his show for an entire episode. They had a terrific discussion.
Art also covered "fringe science" topics like harmonic resonance and zero gravity, about which he asked intelligent questions. It wasn't all Marian apparitions and flat-earth bullshit.
Noory, on the other hand, is just a fucking idiot.

George Noory is OK as the show's host, but he's no Art bell
The show's website is truly awesome, especially the "Guests" list (Under the heading "Shows"
http://www.coasttocoastam.com
The host I prefer to all the others is George Knapp, who hosts the show on the 3rd & 4th Sundays of the month.
He's an investigative journalist & news anchor who has won an Edward R. Murrow Award, a Peabody Award, and over a dozen Emmys.
(He's also a Democrat).
I especially like three "recurring guests":
- Linda Moulton Howe, reporter (crop circles, UFOs)
- Michio Kaku (theoretical physicist)
- Dannion Brinkley (Near-death experiences)
I always loved to hear Richard C. Hoagland on the show.
He was the show's un-official "science advisor" until 2015.
His books include "The Monuments of Mars" and "Dark Mission"
My favorite all-time Art Bell Show guest was writer and ethnobotanist Terence McKenna
Jim Carey is set to play him in an upcoming biopic....(That should be a very good movie)
