I'm as excited as everyone else, or at least most everyone else, to have Art back. I must say, however, the first week's guests are shockingly below standard, more akin to the nonsense we've been suffering constantly on coast2coast. This fellow Reed is shoveling baloney at us ad nausea. Now tonight we're facing Richard Hoaxland. Oh brother! These men are roundly and soundly debunked all over the place. They are beyond pity.
The best way to advance our interests is to be as vigorous and rigorous as possible, using confirmed methodology and peer-reviewed experts. Ed Dames, Hoaxland... these folks are wrong all the time, simply all the time. Art is so bright, the best in the business. I've never understood his tolerance for the lowbrow set that just monetizes off the metaphysical yearnings of the masses.
Sure, if Art only went with good guests, he'd only be able to do a couple shows a month. My answer is open phones and shorter programs as necessary, but an aggressive approach to quality-only would be a better use of our time, and lend desperately-needed actual credibility to the life and death issues we do face: from climate change and control through Fukushima, chemtrails and government spying.
Those with an interest that we DO NOT investigate and popularize these things love nothing better than the lot of us staying up all night listening and debating the merits of flat out quacks.
Art needs a big poster of a red herring with a slash mark through on it on that gorgeous studio wall. I cannot line pockets of Sirius, or Art, until Art starts booking more serious people.
The same old same old will get real old real soon. Life's too short.
Have fun,
