So no show again tonight? Methinks this might no longer be a thing. KCAA dropped the show, didn't it?

KCAA still lists the show on the website , Heather may have pre paid them as she did with LNM .

The woman really changed after the suicide of Chris Cornell back in 2017 , she spent 3 nights crying about him and the anxiety drug he was taking . I got the impression she personally knew him  .

She recently admitted on air that she takes benzos ,  these kind of actions should be expected so I don't get the hate for her on the other sites .

Since she first appeared on the Fret Files eons ago she has always disappeared whenever anything was not perfect , webpage and stream are still up so I assume the encoder issues she had on her last show sent her off the cliff once again... Rolleye James on the passing of Art Bell commented that Keith Rowland was the rock in that team , I assume Heather really regrets not having him around .

Heather has stated herself that she had issues long before Art which is why she did not want to host ,  I get the impression that Art was the only positive in her life and if the show dies he then finally dies in her mind .

Best medicine for her would be doing a non parnormal / conspiracy show based around the actual human life  where a vast audience sits waiting ... Her most dedicated fans appear to be those needing a voice in the darkness .

Agreed. It's called: Fly on the Wall Syndrome.

I confess I catch it every few months, at least, and can't fly away from this BSC situation. It's impossible for me to listen to most of her guests, too boring and/or outdated dumbo jumbo woowoo, but "the drama" is the ointment that attracts with its poison injection and rejection to my continuing attention span... can only just peek-in every now and then. Gotta get that poison fixation. LOL.

Too bad I can't fly swat myself. I can't help it.

I believe Redacted is simply playing a character called Heather Wade who was created by Art Bell as a final middle finger to the industry  , she will return with a different act just as she has every time she had stepped away in the past .

She posted the pictures over Christmas  and departed after the New Year open lines ... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah, that was pretty damn boring.  Old news I'm sure Clyde kept rehashing for the duration of his show.  I didn't last past the first half hour.  The dude has a great radio voice but he could really benefit from a show manager who could keep him on track and select a better variety of topics and find some decent guests for him.  Clyde seems to pick his topics on the fly and for whatever falls into his Portlandia-frame-of-mind, rather that what might attract a broader audience.  Plus, thinking he can just wing it, night after night, doing a continuous monologue on the same topic is difficult to pull off.

Glad to see I am not alone in thinking Clyde is a bore .

No I am saying there is nothing to “ruin”. Heather is self destructive. I never said this forum was targeting her. I’m saying ellgabs actions are stupid, because she is self destructive. She’s literally her worse enemy.

The ellgabbers are mostly dikes / and other assorted females who in any social setting will always hate on a popular female , if HW was male they would ignore her .

Ok, I still donate my $5.00 per month to HW and even write her in the "Looking glass". usually, during the last hour after DS goes off air.  However, I'm never really sure when she's "off air" because she doesn't have guests posted on her web-page or on FB. However, what's even more confusing is that the "paranormal radio" application showed a feed for her last night so was this an "old show" or did she have a new show that simply wasn't promoted (on her FB or webpage). I understand that she is somewhat chaotic, but feel that she also provides good interviews on many occasions. I'm also a fan of her four hour "long format" which is hard to find (Spaced Out Radio with Dave Scott via Canada sometimes comes close).  I just wish she would post something on her FB or web page like "I'm not doing a show this week due to personal issues, will be back soon".

Chad , the stream on the app is hers but if you click you only get music which is normal when she is not doing ashow as with no posting any updates as was always her history with Dark and LNM .

Ellgab , home of failed podcasters galore .

Quote from: nooryisawesome on January 09, 2019, 12:51:48 PM
Guessing Personal problems = Breakup + no money

Which as we all know can suck. So I actually do feel bad for her.

I have never gotten the impression that Heather counts on an income from this type of hobby , one of her lasts shows she was commenting on needing a producer while having tech issues  . I assume she shut down to figure out how to move forward  , she owns the studio and has her own stream so the paths are not as detoured as failed hosts on these sites have convinced others .

Again , for someone who supposedly is a failure she sure generates heat .

I  am baffled at people being mad at HW  unless your in business with her ,  her history has always been to not post  when not doing a show .

Subscribers can access the archive if they want a rerun .

4.99 a month for an archive of shows is reasonable , this non paying former subscriber has no right to complain .

In 40 years of terrestrial radio listening , never once was I approached on format , topics , hosts , or even non shows being produced .

Heather likes her privacy , who am I to invade ?

When the whole streaming genre started I can remember watching a panel discussion on YouTube involving  Tom Leykis ,  Leykis had started his own New Normal Network and said most would fail simply because they had  no idea that you need to be profitable .

I'm surprised Heather's friend Fred, isn't replaying aby of Heather's shows. I wonder if it has to do with talking about her stripper past.

They started out playing the music , appears no replay was made available .

I got suspicious when she did Mon-Tues open lines then said she was looking for a producer ,  in Art fashion we may get another 3 month vac followed by a new network announcement . 

Quote from: brig on January 07, 2019, 11:15:06 PM
Fred is not playing a Heather rerun on KCAA.  I checked it on Tune-In.  He has somebody else playing in her spot right now.

They had Shiva then switched.

Karen and Keith both point to the same guy as stalker , the story kinda blew up when HW called the police .

It's not Art's reputation I'm haarping on  but the damage Keef does to his own by trashing him after his demise.

Keith Rowland has a good name in the business , he has been more than proffessional with AB and HW .

Quote from: K_Dubb on January 06, 2019, 01:57:10 PM
I thought it was great.  Given Eberhardt's earlier declaration that "the gloves are off", I was only sorry Keef muzzled him by setting forth the party line up front and daring him to challenge it.  It could have been a glorious immolation, self- or otherwise.

Art lived his life as a great man very much at home in the West, living by wits alone and unconcerned with social mores.  It's a character from our past we've largely forgotten.  I don't think his reputation is tarnished in the least by all the post-mortem yapping.

Agreed .

Any attack on Art is just another delusion of metroncrackhead.

Quote from: Metron2267 on January 05, 2019, 11:50:13 AM
Someone needs to drop a vocaroo on ya'll from last night's "aftercast" on DMDN.

Apparently Spooky Tim went way late, like 7 hours on to do a "let's blame Art for Keef's failed digital network" fest.

Is there any man more cuntly than Keef ripping on Art for getting old, having COPD and wanting to cut the program back to three hours!

Oh and of course the usual cyber-bully-squad had to call in - Little Sean, Heidi, et. al.

What a disgusting, disrespectful, grave-robbing bit of early AM pod-whoring that was.

Sorry you missed it Brig, twas one for the gobbige disposal of the ages.

You really need some time away from the pipe , I listened to the same show and thought they should do more except for the callers like yourself .

Quote from: awguy on January 04, 2019, 08:56:44 AM
Statistically, only about 1% of your audience will ever call in. So if she's getting 300 live listeners, I'm surprised she's getting 12 calls.

Having been a call screener on a small local show I can tell you that these repeat callers are likely jamming up the lines 24 hours a day .

Major hosts with no call screener would have the same experience , you can really tell in her voice how excited she gets with new callers .

Heather being such a control freak is her biggest drawback , she refuses to bring on any guest who she cannot control .

Quote from: nooryisawesome on January 02, 2019, 12:28:50 PM

BULLSHIT.

Radio Affiliates would mean more advertisement money. Schrader has 500 kids to support and has been pretty open about his willingness to take the Noory route to make money. That is why Schrader frequently does paranormal conventions when ever anyone will right him a check. It is also why he keeps doing the 2nd podcast he does for podcast one. He was also "souting locations" for one of those staged Ghost Hunter shows.

If you still don't believe me Schrader himself has mentioned numerous times that he wanted to grow the shows affiliates.

No one will have him. I'm guessing Karen puts the show on to grind Heather's gears as they seemingly did not get along.

There is no ad money unless you have a Walmart type who pays you not to run ads of the competition .

MITD and KONye are using the same subscriber model .

Affiliates means corporate lawyers writing the script , Noory as the perfect example .

Adverstising for coffee  fuck this BS

Caller was a personal friend of Art and always talks about the coffee , Heather always gives him the whole segment .

Quote from: Gunner65 on January 02, 2019, 01:18:38 AM
Verify- verify!  LA Marzulli is Dino?

No , Dino is a regular who loves to quote Babylon 5 .

Quote from: Gunner65 on January 02, 2019, 12:35:05 AM
Heather should be a late nite radio DJ playing music only and should have a request line for tunes!  Truckers would love that!  Fuck the C2C BS all the time!

Agreed , she is fine just being a female .

Quote from: username on January 01, 2019, 11:54:03 PM
All the men who call in are repulsive as shit lol.

Hate any caller that calls to stroke the host .

A fine show once again fucked up by the senior prophecy geezer who heather does not know how to dump , did Art not teach her how to mute the caller and talk to commercial .

Quote from: username on January 01, 2019, 03:27:24 PM
Here's the thing about that, now only be speaking on my own behalf. As you noted only 354 listeners. We don't exactly know how many of those people actually subscribe. I'm not trying to argue that it's a big number but I'm sure there are those that are that ignorant enough to subscribe to her.

Now personally speaking, I don't exactly have the highest numbers on my own stream. However there are multiple places my show is being streamed to. I don't worry or care about live views... I care about the views after On YouTube & the podcast. Those numbers are fantastic. We don't know how well, Heather's Facebook friends pay her through donations.


"Girl's gotta survive". - heather wade

Being in the business as you are , trying to explain revenue to non-media is like explaining reality to a believer .

Listeners and callers mean nothing in the world of subs , appears Heather gets enough subs to survive without asking or raising the price . AOL still has millions subscribed to the original dial up .

Quote from: username on January 01, 2019, 01:23:29 AM
Her entire show just drags and she repeats dumb shit over and over haha.

99 percent of all talk media .

I see HW once again no showed a scheduled appearance on another show .

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on December 30, 2018, 09:11:31 PM
No, Heather! Phone sex operators are not
basically the same thing as radio talk show hosts.
Heather!

Both fill the need of fantasy .

No need to do a show , more comments on her photos than her actual shows .

I do find it  odd that none of her regulars are asking why a no show on social media .
