Binnall had suggested to me that I may want to
write about my favorite Coast to Coast guest or show
of all time. That is what I had planned to do, but as
I sat here to write I figured out I can’t really say I
have a favorite guest there are many guests I find
very entertaining, but I can’t really pick a favorite.
As for shows I think I do have a favorite and that
would be one of the very first shows Art did on the
subject of UFO’s with John Lear as a guest. It is
highly possible this is not the best Coast show of all
time, but back then this was a lot newer to me and I
hadn’t heard all the far out theories so it was
different and exciting. Probably if I listened to that
show now it wouldn’t have anywhere near the same
effect it did on me then, but as a said it was new
back then and quite thought provoking. Obviously
those early shows had a impact on Art as well because
he still isn’t entirely sure whether when he dies he
should go into the light or not.
Some of the guests I really enjoy are not at all
related to finding them entirely or even at all
believable. I know I will be forgetting a bunch but
off the top of my head some of the guests I enjoy are
the ghost hunters Brendan and Barbara, Robert
Ghostwolf, RCH, Ed Dames, LMH, Budd Hopkins, Jim
Marrs, Michio Kaku, Michael Cremo, and Sean David
Morton. Yes, some like Ed Dames and SDM are rather
obnoxious but still manage to be entertaining. I also
much to my own surprise enjoy the occasional visit by
Glynis McCants. There are some guests that I use to
enjoy that haven’t been on for a while like Robert
Bauval, Graham Hancock, Travis Walton and Bob Lazar.
I guess really I have my favorite topics such as ufo’s
and aliens, ancient technology and civilizations,
grail and templar related topics and illuminati
conspiracy theories and most shows on topics such as
that I enjoy. There are also topics I don’t enjoy
such as every guest I have ever heard on c2c that
claims to be a witch or vampire, also the “new age”
spirituality type topics normally bore me to death.
Probably one of my least favorite guests seems to be
one of Art’s favorites and that is Matthew Alper. I
find 3 hours of discussion about the “god part of the
brain” to be really boring. Besides that it somewhat
irritates me that Alper acts like he came up with this
concept because he wrote a book about it. I have been
hearing various versions of this concept ever since I
can remember.
What anyone considers to be a great show or guest on
c2c I suppose really depends on the individual. There
are shows that I am sitting there bored to death and
there are always people calling in who sound genuinely
interested and telling George or Art what a great show
it is. I am sure there are shows that I am totally
being entertained by that some people are sitting at
home thinking what a bunch of crap it is. Still if I
judge by the forums at Binnall or the c2c site most
people are like me which means they must listen to
c2c for entertainment more than hoping to discover
some great spiritual dimension to themselves or to
have information with documented facts. Documented facts are really overrated, just ask the regular news
people or the Government who keep using them less and
less. I like to try to suspend my disbelief at least
while I am listening to c2c, sometimes that is really
hard say when Father Wingate is on, but I do really
try because it makes it more fun.
In 1843, the Commissioner of patents writing to Congress
recommended that the patent office be closed because
in his opinion everything that could be invented had
already been invented, he was definitely a
non-believer and he was wrong. So whenever I don’t
believe something on c2c or Dreamland I ask myself is
it possible? If it seems at all possible who am I to
be a true non-believer? I will just sit on the middle
line and see if it is ever decided one way or another
and if not at least hopefully I enjoyed the subject.
Finally, I know I have mentioned the topic of c2c
being for entertainment purposes only many times
before and I will probably keep mentioning it until
the morons out there get it in their heads. I am
getting so tired of people complaining that c2c is
having on guests that they consider to be frauds. I
have seen whole websites mostly devoted to exposing
c2c and it’s guests as frauds. Coast to Coast should
not be held to that standard, it is a entertainment
show. If you actually learn something from listening
to c2c (and that does happen) it is a added bonus, but
not the purpose of the show. I do not believe people
have a right to complain because they think a guest is
a fraud or snake oil salesman or the many other nasty
terms they use. In my opinion the only time they have
a right to complain is if they are not being
entertained because then c2c is not living up to it’s
purpose. That is not to say that there should be no
discussion or opinions on whether what we hear is
true, but there really is no need to get upset and
call people nasty names - it is suppose to be fun
after all.
