Heather has been complaining that all of the callers are breathing too hard. She should be used to it considering her previous employment.


HUUUUUU



Yeah, still got it. 8)

I haven't been a subscriber, or even listened, in a long time. Recently I did a cross country trip that included a LOT of driving, and I was able to tune into her Utah and Washington state affiliate radio stations that the Dark Matter site claims carry her show. None of them were carrying the show.

I subscribed recently again out of interest in her guests but I listen to one Open Lines episode and it was gross. I can't believe she's still on the "Everyone hates me and I don't care!" kick, and it seemed like no one was calling in. Also, I can't stand the audio quality of Skype callers (does anyone else agree? it sounds robotic and bad to me. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the landline audio). I remember semi-recently Art would always encourage listeners to call in using Skype headsets...

Anyways. Hope everyone is doing well. I'll check in on this show every once in a while, but it's looking like I'll just have to cling on to Knapp C2C shows for now.

skype is much better than cell quality. Just my 2 cents

nathan

yeah definitely. There's no denying that it's clearer. I guess I can't exactly articulate why I don't like how it sounds but something about it bothers me.

Somehow, Keith has "forgotten" to update the "radio stations" portion of the MITD site:

http://midnightinthedesert.com/radio-stations/

Once he updates it to reflect reality (which will happen Real Soon Now, no doubt), anyone planning to tune into MITD via radio will see two stations to choose from:

KCAA (Loma Linda, CA)

(Which cuts over to The Twilight Zone after the third hour of MITD.)

and

KNYE (Pahrump, NV, which Art Bell once owned and which, no doubt, carries the programme strictly as a favour to Art.)

Chocolate coated jackboot recently informed us that even WLINY, the "radio" station that Heather bragged some time ago about picking up (but which was, in fact, streaming-only, and had no broadcasting facilities of any kind) has given MITD the heave-ho.

(I wonder if C. Crane still sells shortwave radios off the back of the erroneous WTWW entry?  WTWW stopped playing MITD in Q3 of last year.)

Maybe Heather is using the wrong spells.

All the dropped calls, perhaps? :)

Good point.  She probably thinks the adder's fork is a utensil she swiped from an accountant.

Could be.  I would prefer to think that it was simply a matter of Heather twiddling the wrong knobs on the Wishing Machine, causing the device to operate in reverse. :(

I really wonder what is even the point in having open lines anymore when it is always the same few callers.
Even when Art was still doing MITD it was not as good as in old days due to many of the callers being the same and he had pretty decent listener base compared to now.

The point is so we can all hear the sultry, come-hither voice of "Colby from Wisconsin."

(Heather could improve MITD by 25% simply by not taking that idiot woman's calls.)

Honestly, all the awful hackling laughter Heather does, which wastes away a large portion of the airtime, really grates on my nerves.  Sometimes it makes me cringe.

On the other hand, it could be Karma...

She changed her mind about the wishing machine because she wished for the show's success and it worked. It has nothing to do with receiving a wishing machine for free. There was also an incident where a cat knocking over a Christmas tree was attributed to the wishing machine.

In a completely unrelated story it appears any mention of MITD has disappeared from internet-only radio station WLINY's website so the affiliate count is back to 1

When I listened to the clip you posted, I found myself thinking, "You know who would like to hear this clip?  Bateman.  I'm sure of it."

There are times when one just knows one is right.  And this is one of those times.

That is a lot of cringe packed into a minute and a half.

Don't blame me. I usually wait till the guest is on...when most of you don't listen. 😭

You were OK during the Obama administration but the country's just not into cucks as much now.  ;)

Oh Gawd, is she ever gonna STFU?
She can talk for ages, without saying anything.

Nearly as bad as her desperately trying to sound and talk like Art does.
If you listen to her earlier shows you can hear a big change in how she speaks and it is sadly not for the better.

I knew you'd be pleased.  The last 25 seconds are so potent, they render the listener sterile.  :o

I was just thinking the very same thing about Kurt, the would-be Madonna molester.

Never has anyone gotten so much wrong about the Titanic in so short a space of time.  I half-expect Heather to book him as a guest so that all his misinformation won't go to waste.

(Best of luck to anyone sticking around for tonight's fear porn extravaganza.  Colour me surprised if Heather doesn't start flogging goat's milk candles off the back of this EMP chat.)

Umm hmmm. I don't remember Art being as annoying as this imposter, however.

No wonder as she does a horrible job at emulating him even though it is obvious that she tries to sound like him.

Someone should edit together all of her laughter from a couple of shows into one continuous stream of feigned, self conscious laughter... someone other than me, that is.

If Heather had any balls she'd hire Falkie to be her new co-host.

That might actually make the show INTERESTING.
