It'd be great if Art could get Richard Belzer. The Belz on C2C was one of the few decent shows in recent memory.

Was David Anderson the guy who had created a small field where time moved at a different speed? If so, he was pretty good.

I'd really like Ed Dames to be kind of like his Ed McMahon on this new show.

yes that was him - the time dilation field.

I enjoyed David Anderson on Art's show.  Even if all was not as it seemed, he was a helluva storyteller.  It would be great if Art can find him again.

Show topic-2012:What the hell happened?
hr1:John Major Jenkins
hr2:seance with Terrence Mckenna on Timewave zero's epic fail

My vote for the best suggestion! Mail it in holmes. Also, what about disparity in real world vs prognosticated global climate change, as in warming?

I'm not sure who the guest would be, but I'd love to see Art do a show about what happened to the Neanderthals. Maybe even a panel discussion with a couple of experts in anthropology and archeology.

Heard Linda Mouolton Howe will be on in October

Shit dude, just tune in to C2C on Monday, if Trog still has a job anyway.

I would like Art to continue to explore the edge. 
I find the edge of consciousness to be the most interesting.

Part of that is finding how we are mislead.  I'd like him to book a mentalist like Darren Brown.  He's from the UK and really good.  You can find his tapes on YouTube and Hulu. 

He was a Christian but soured when he saw how much the church uses manipulative techniques to control people.  He came to the US with his charming accent and attempted to fake out 7 popular paranormal groups; groups like UFO-ologists he wanted to convince that he could diagnose a person's medical history as a result of a abduction, that he could speak to people's departed loved ones, that kind of thing.  He said he would tell the truth if anyone asked him if it was a trick.  No one did and they all fell for it.  Really good stuff.  He explains his demonstrations to a point and will leave you scratching your head for the last piece.

I would like it if Art interviewed the guys, can't remember their names, who developed the predictive software for analyzing social/economic trending. Also the Thunderbolts Of The Gods, Electrical Universe dudes

The Web Bot guys? They were interesting when they came on the first time, but did anything ever pan out with them? They seemed like high tech Ed Dames, but I honestly don't know if anything ever came of them.

Exactly!

Art interviewing George Knapp would be classic.

I just googled and found this. Be warned, it's about 8 sentences of text set to bad synth music and timed for someone learning English as a fourth language.

My summary: None of this has actually happened yet, and was supposed to have already happened earlier this year.


Webbot Predictions for 2013

I'd love to see a first week of:

Monday: Michio Kaku
Tuesday: George Knapp
Wednesday: Richard Hoagland (I know, I know...guilty pleasure)
Thursday: Open Lines, Time Line

I want to hear guests I've never heard before. For a start and in no particular order:

1.) I want a show about bloop and other unidentified sounds recorded on deep ocean hydrophones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop).
2.) Let's hear about how the men in black did something something with arcade game players back in the 80s using the Polybius arcade game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybius_%28video_game%29).
3.) Russian nuclear doomsday devices ("Dead Hand", the perimeter system, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand_%28nuclear_war%29)
4.) There has to be someone with a theory on the numbers stations. Has Art himself ever heard them? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station).
5.) Starting from the Wow! signal, "Lone Signal" is a crowd funded project designed to send signals to other civilizations. Art could easily discuss this project which began in 2012 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Signal).
6.) Let's get an "internet meme become life" show about stuff that's gone from the internet to paranormal culture, like Slenderman

Hope you're reading, Art! :)

First Week:

Mon - Jason the Horse
Tues - Updates on DB Cooper and the Smiley Face Killers
Wed - A War of the Worlds style radio report on World War Z
Thur - Split show - Salt, Flotsam, and a round table discussion between Ian Punnett and Steve Quayle



Nucky Nolan

Agent: Orange has a great list. That would be the best lineup of shows in....ever. I'd add the Black Knight satellite mystery to the list since it fits the theme. You gotta love subjects that straddle the line between real life and urban legend (Polybius).

Am I wrong in assuming Art will be doing a show on the Black Knight since it was one of the first items on the website? I heard about it for the first time there, I'm interested to hear the story behind it.

God man, you need to post much more often.

I woke up and thought of a few more that could make for good satellite:

7.) It's current thinking that both Neandertal and Homo Floriensis represent independent bipedal intelligent species that evolved in parallel to modern man. Get an expert on the show to give us a recap and census of how many unique cousins we may have had and the current thinking on their existence. Did humans really play a role in wiping out Neandertal? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_extinction_hypotheses)

8.) It's been about 10 years (maybe more) since we first started hearing serious talk of cloning a wooly mammoth. Just how much closer has science come since Art first reported on it? Also have Dr. Ian Wilmut as guest, who can give an overview of the field of cloning in general since Dolly the sheep in the late 90s (http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/07/31/scientist-who-cloned-dolly-on-how-to-clone-wooly-mammoth/). Lots of good talk here.

9.) The Fermi paradox asks the question, "If the aliens are out there, why are they so quiet?" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox). Assume the worst (for one show) and have a guest on to make a case for this position. Question for open lines: If UFOs aren't spacecraft, what are we seeing in the skies?

10.) In an oscillating universe, the entire universe goes through expansion and contraction phases (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_model). What are the current thoughts on this idea and is there any possible way to learn about the fate of the Universe through observation (ie, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background_radiation).

11.) Just like humans, stars have distinct phases in their lives between birth and death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertzsprung%E2%80%93Russell_diagram). Have an expert on the show to talk about the final fate of stars, from red giants to compact remnants like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. How do they form, what are they made of at that point and what is the final destiny of our own Sun?

12.) The Fibonnacci sequence and the Golden Ratio show up in the natural world in some surprising places (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number). Why do these numerical patterns repeat so often in the natural world and what significance do they have for us?

13.) In an old(ish) Discover article, mathematician Dr. Barbara Shipman suggested a connection between the mathematics of the dance of honey bees and the interaction of quarks in the subatomic realm (http://discovermagazine.com/1997/nov/quantumhoneybees1263#.UjCfJj96qpo). What is her current thinking on the subject and the significance of her work?

14.) A Tulpa is a creature of thought given life from the mythology of Tibet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulpa). Art could easily explore this topic with a guest and maybe comment on our current obsessions in modern culture, and tie this back to Slenderman and internet myths. Do we make our own monsters? Ie, shadow people (who have now been "popular" for about a decade) and chupacabra. Describe the interplay between works of fiction (ie the appearance of the aliens in Close Encounters) with our own apparent beliefs (the aesthetic of the common "gray").

15.) The Golem is a figure from Jewish myth that is animated by man breathing life into the creature using the symbols and language of the divine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem).  Many Golem stories feature the detailed act of animating these entities and even their supposed final resting places. Have an expert on Jewish folklore on to give us a rundown on these tales and the current scholarly study of them as allegories. 


All your suggestions sound like they could be entertaining and perhaps even informative, Orange.  I wish you were on the production/guest procurement staff for Art!

Absolutely!  I've learned quite a bit just from reading Orange's summaries and links.  Every one of these ideas could make a wonderful show.

Mabey he should email the list to Arts agent? They might like them.

I tried to pick stuff that we haven't heard a lot about and that hasn't been discussed much on Coast. I really like the Black Knight and Dyatlov pass articles Art posted to his website early in it's unveiling, so that is encouraging and suggests Art will go places that others have ignored.

In the other thread, someone suggested I email Paul with the suggestion Art have Howard Hughes from The Unexplained podcast on the show. I got a response back from Paul very quickly that he was being added to the list for consideration, so it does seem that our emails are being read, at least.

Maybe sending this list might not be a bad idea?

Send the damn list before Tommy picks it up and runs with it!

Very awesome and fun topics.
