Yeah. I was really glad that he had come back (my insomnia relief).

The last time this happened 10 or so years ago:
“Some neo-Nazi group was repeatedly calling in, screaming that Art was molesting some kids.
That came at a point when it turned out his only son had been molested by an HIV+ teacher at his public school.
LOTS of his topics I find are silly, but a few were super interesting.
SOME people can’t help but spoil it for all the others...”
I was a teacher and part time administrator at his high school. The accused molester was a substitute teacher. He was never in my class, but I had some dealings with the young man and found him to be a likable person.
Art Bell retire???!!! Who’s going to keep us informed about the chupacabras and other beasts terrorizing the populace?
Oh, no. Art Bell no longer broadcasting.

And take Richard Hoagland and Major Ed Dames with you.
The problem is Art doesn’t realize just how empty my life is.
It’s about time he was assigned to the “Dead Pecker Bench”!
Yes.
Though I do like George Noory, I’m sure this news triggers in him a huuuuuuuge relief for his ratings and career.
While he has great fences and a good security system, Art is just too accessible.
Part of the magic of his show was his No Caller Screening arrangement —yes, you often had total kooks call in, but often Art could magically weave fine gold thread out of a lot of it.
But then that is also the factor that made the “You’re a MOLESTER..!”-neo nazis feel they could harass Art for so long with such impunity.
Can you imagine being falsely accused like that and REPEATEDLY having to carry the show on, in exactly such a way as if such calls had NEVER come in...?
I don’t think even 3% of hosts could manage that, especially if their son had been recently molested by an HIV+ guy.
Thank G_d for the tape delay, right?
Long John Nebel, who did a similar type of radio show, was one of the first to use a tape-delay system in radio.

Caravan To Midnight, with John B. Wells. You will not be sorry!
I think Larry King took unscreened calls on his radio talk show in the 1980s. (I called him once about Sandy Koufax, a classmate of his.)
Yeah, he has that great, deep, ‘late night voice’. Zzzzzz.
Tell me about it. I wake up (at 4am) to an alarm clock radio and it's tuned into the local station with the strongest signal which happens to be the one that carries Coast to Coast and I wake up to the most bizarre dreams
Kidnapped and raped.

Remember the business/money man talk radio host that was popular back in the 1980s. I think his name was “Michael Jackson”. Tall guy. So popular that he was also making TV appearances. Probably the Dave Ramsey of the 80s.
Can you listen to Wells on Internet radio? (I’ve been listening to Art on ‘Tune In’.)

Not sure of his name, maybe it was not “Michael Jackson”
If he’s the guy who sounded like Boris Karloff, I remember him.
Three out of his seven shows per week are on UFO's.
I don't like or care about UFO's.
Please Art! Hire some good security! Please don't go away!!
Awwww, what a sweety.
