Paranormal Radio Shows In 2013

The last time I was a guest on a 'paranormal'-themed radio show was seven years ago - "Speaking of Strange" broadcast from North Carolina and hosted by Joshua P. Warren. I described in a very condensed way my experiences and research that resulted with my being able to distinguish revealing patterns among documented case studies of so-called 'unexplained phenomena.'

As consistent blog readers know, my perspective is often different from many commercial authors who write about these topics. It is usually obvious when superstitious and frightful depictions of paranormal phenomena are motivated by a profit incentive, while closed-minded skepticism may be a result of brainwashing and/or denial.

This summer there was a Sirius XM Radio announcement "Legendary Radio Personality Art Bell to Launch Exclusively on SiriusXM". The program will begin broadcasting September 16 and air weeknights from 7 to 10 pm Pacific Time so his former radio show, "Coast to Coast AM," will not be in direct competition with the start time of 10 pm Pacific Time. A subheading divulged what listeners may expect: "Bell to open the phone lines and listeners' minds to debunk and declassify conventional wisdom in an uncensored, unscripted forum." The news release reported:

Bell will host the show from his home studio in Pahrump, Nevada-near the storied Area 51-opening the phones lines and inviting listeners and expert guests to join his uncensored, unscripted nightly conversation about a wide variety of topics including: the paranormal, near-death experiences, quantum physics, extraterrestrial life and the unusual.

This biographical information was offered about Art Bell.

Bell started in radio at age thirteen when he became a licensed amateur radio operator, a license and interest that he holds to this day. He hosted radio shows while serving in the Air Force in Vietnam, became an engineer when he returned to the U.S., and returned to the airwaves with a late night show on a Las Vegas radio station that ultimately became his nationally syndicated show "Coast to Coast AM."

"Coast to Coast AM" is now hosted by George Noory. Both Art Bell and George Noory have played a role in my own case study as there was a period when I had been an occasional caller to "Coast to Coast AM."

On Saturday, March 2 at the Health Freedom Expo in Long Beach, I decided to attend the "George Noory VIP Reception" as I expected a question and answer session that would allow me to learn more about show operations. Instead, there was a less formal 'meet and greet' session. A new friend whom I met at the expo, Rosie Bovard snapped a photo of me giving a printed book edition of my blog to George, who asked me to leave it with the expo's general manager for him to get later.

The radio talkshow host who originally featured paranormal topics on his broadcasts was Long John Nebel, mentioned in the previous blog articles "Some Recordings of Channeling" and "UFO Secrecy".
