Another good point!!!

I recently heard a show with Dr. J interviewing Peter Lavenda that was pretty good.

Hey Everyone,

                         How are you? I would like to invite everyone to listen to Dr. J Radio Live on Tuesday and Thursday Nights on The Dark Matter Digital Network from 9:00-11:00 Pm Western Time.  Dr J Andy Ilias is a upcoming radio show host and has featured terrific guests such as Jack Osbourne.   Dr J is the associate producer of Art and is very talented in his own right.  The website is www.drjradiolive.com and on facebook https://www.facebook.com/drjradiolive?fref=ts

This would be one extraordinary interview I'd think? What do you say?   

What I've always loved about Art Bell/C2C is the show's connection to young people. It's a refreshing delight hearing the youngster engage, and tell their own personal stories of the paranormal. One might say "children shouldn't be up late at night", but, who you'd rather your children listen to, Art Bell or looking at some degenerate reality tv show??! : Lol!

Excellent point! It's very inconvenient for some

Truth is inconvenient, and seems to provoke those who find facts frightening. Just an observation, really.

Good point!

Maybe because the nowadays the only thing that is worse than racism is pointing it out, or even worse than that ..."playing the race card" by objecting to racist speech and actions. Talk about Orwellian talking points....

It's been viewed through racialized eyes due to the misinformation we've received in school about each other.

I am amazed at how everything is now viewed through racial eyes.  I thought voting for Obama was to bring on a post-racial age. I recently saw a TV series on Hitler in which I was informed that the man's entire motivation was racism.

Excellent points Rob!

Could it just be that for decades, radio talk in the USA (& I've a hunch Canada too) has been predominantly of the "right"?  I remember from before that was so, but it's been this way for a good while, so much so that "conservative" is nearly automatically understood to be part & parcel of radio talk, esp. of phone-in programs, in most places.  There seems to be a positive feedback loop keeping it this way.

I'll throw it back as a question: When you eliminate "conservative" (largely neocon), libertarian, Xtian, & financial-oriented programs, all of which can be identified somewhat as on the "right", then besides local programs heard on only 1 or 2 stns., what else is there?  Some medical advice (some of it thinly veiled infomercial), some other advice (much of which is traditionalist-conservative if you analyze it), sports talk, and what you're talking about.  "Liberal" commenters & orient'n seem not to be too popular on radio these days, at least when it comes to English-language programming.  (The only other language I could partly follow would be French, so that's all I know.  Maybe it's different with Spanish, Hindi, etc. programming.)  The only major exception I can think of are the Pacifica stns.

So it's like if a for-profit station wants to make a go of it in network talk programming (or local in a big market) these days, that station by default is going to sound right-wing.  So the stations likely to pick up something like Art Bell are likely to sound "conservative" the rest of the time.

Huh?! I'm using white in context of a description. This is not antagonizing or meant demeaning to any white person on these boards. Personal problem because I'm inquiring why I only hear Art Bell on mainly conservative white stations. I don't hear him on NPR, Spanish, or any other media outlets (other than independent internet radio).

Does it really matter where the show's coming from, Im sure the liberal based stations would be welcome to carry Mitd, whats the white thing have to do with anything, it sounds like the op has a bit of a personal problem, let me give the op a bit of a heads up, "nobody cares".

How is my posting considered BS trolling??!!  I'm just making an observation and wanted clarification on the matter. Radio has created demarcation lines when it comes to it's listener-ships. 

Quote from: DanTSX on July 28, 2015, 10:52:10 AM
It's very prejudiced to think that minorities don't, won't, or cannot listen to Art's show despite the other programming on the station.

It's kind of funny that somone who is stereotyping radio stations and their listenerbase is on some social justice warrior witchhunt where the only suitable answer is uncovered racism that everyone not black or on the Witchhunt will share in guilt by association.  Think about it.  Radio is a medium where you don't know the color. Creed, gender identity of the person you head unless they say it, or you apply your own prejudices.   Which one are you applying to determine what is black or white radio?


This is bullshit trolling.  Why don't you stop worrying about how many former slaver owners are listening to the show while wrapped up in the confederate flag while sitting on crates of ammo (protip:  it's 0) and enjoy the fucking show???



Why are there few black people playing fantasy video games?    Why are there so few black male feminists? 


#blacktimetravwleramatter.  (Coincidentally, Dr Ronald Mallet, who leads the field in time travel theory and is black, was on coast the other night).  Fucking crybabies. Go apply your outrage in somethinf that needs it instead of trying to assume you know what's best for blacks.

Agreed, but, you know the media is nothing but a tool of dissension and misinformation right?! Lol!

Quote from: Marc.Knight on July 29, 2015, 12:17:04 PM
The media has construed racial "identity" to a socially insane level.  Underlying the current race issue is the plain old motivation for power and influence over any type of social justice concerns.

Thanks everyone..responses are great!


This is a very good, intelligent productive conversation with well-thought out responses. I'm still on this journey called life, so please excuse me for my ignorance on some issues. In the original post, I used the term "white conservative" not in demeaning or condescending usage, just  simply describing an observation on why I've only heard Art Bell/C2C on "white conservative" radio. I was neither inciting, nor looking to cause any contention on race and racial matters. These are highly sensitive and combustible topics of discourse that most folks have difficulty in engaging in - I leave it alone!!!  Art speaks on intriguing topics, like I stated before; that transcends race, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic groups, and etc. So, why not have his program diversified throughout the industry??!!

As far as African Americans listening to Art Bell, well, I am one of those African American listeners. And, there are many, many more Black Americans, and Blacks from all over the globe who've been drawn to Art's work for various reasons. In addition, as someone  who has worked in radio; I listen to it ALL! Conservative, neo-conservative, liberal, neo-liberal, ultra-conservative, the paranormal, occult, Ufology, history, and many sciences - you never know what you might learn.

NPR and Pacifica need not sneer at anything Art Bell does with their lopsided analysis on issues and topics.

Quote from: Eddie Coyle on July 28, 2015, 11:05:31 AM
   NPR and Pacifica sneer openly at Art Bell and his audience. Always have, always will.

This somewhat fascinates me, that most of the US radio market Art Bell/C2C syndicate their programs through mainly conservative radio stations (the same stations that play Rush Limbaugh, Mike Savage, Levin and others..).
One would think, that some of the topics Art Bell/C2C engages in, are somewhat universal topis that transcends politics. I've never heard of any so-called liberal stations carrying their programs, so why is that? 

True! LOL!  :

Yeah, no bigs. Only heard it twice.

It was shit, which is becoming a minor swear word now anyways.

The gentleman who wrote Notes of an Economic Hitman!

"Plasma Cosmology" sounds quite fascinating!

Quote from: Salvatore on July 19, 2015, 08:28:44 AM
I hope Art will do something on Plasma Cosmology in regards to Pluto when the data is analyzed in that field.

Precluding what Art had stated, "no foul language on my show!" 

If you were listening that night, you would have heard him use the s-word a few times. LOL! I thought it was quite humorous and I wonder if Graham was aware of this or not. He was pretty passionate about expressing himself July 20, 2015  ! 

That's an outstanding topic of discussion!

Quote from: albrecht on February 23, 2015, 05:34:52 PM
A expose of the corporate radio industry, the intricate details of musical copyright law, the inside-baseball of the politics of iHeartMedia, Inc and Sirius/XM and how such large corporations can loose money but still stay afloat, and more insight into the personalities, addictions, and/or sexual peccadilloes of media radio personalities (just to satisfy the tabloids and the more prurient interests and speculations of bellgabbers.)

Question? Has there ever been any guests who refused to be interviewed by Art Bell for whatever reasons?

Good Morning Everyone!
