Hoagland (?) tweeted (and was seen by me today (Feb 1) at 9:55am Mountain Time):

TheOtherSideOfMid ‏@OtherSideOfMid  · 3 hours ago 

TUE-SAT 12 - 2 a.m. (PST) LISTEN LIVE: https://www.talkstreamlive.com/program/richard_c_hoagland/ …
OR CALL... http://fb.me/5MZ3HFcyk

I've replied "is this *live* live or what? Guest(s)? Topics?" I copied stream url (found when clicking either link above) and stuck it in my stream list for my digital radio. I'll have to remember to check if he's trothing or not. He has not yet tweet after that, but maybe he'll remember to inform would-be listeners of what he plans to talk about. Maybe the weather. The mountains (I think he is or near Taos) have gotten up to 200% of normal snow, but it looks like we'll have another warm February. At least with all the well-watered vegetation, maybe bears won't bother him.

Hoagland: You have said and written many times that construction glass on the Moon would be twice as strong as steel. In Dark Mission (p. 244, 2nd edn) you cite the following work in support:
J.C.Rowley and J.W. Neudecker: In Situ Rock Melting Applied to Lunar Base Construction (…etc)

Thank you so much for your singular, brilliant effort to keep this forum on track. However, as it didn't have a music video and/or a funny picture and/or a naughty gif attached, it went unnoticed by all except me, because I skip all the embedded videos and most pictures and comments thereon. I wish there were some way to make them invisible to those readers who are uninterested in them, but that capability, if it was once available, vanished with the ability to ignore uninteresting posters.  I'm just looking for informative content. Heh...

I'll check back in a few weeks to see if you have gotten any results! Oddly how the GNS forum is much more interesting to read than any other forum here 

I just saw this...

And few weeks ago, I forget guest, [Noory] went on a long rant with Tommy about foods they wouldn't eat and Norry stressed how he would never eat a rat.

...and I immediately thought (without checking if I am the only one), "Professional courtesy."

Trying to get to sleep this morning (noisy neighbors), about 1:20 (mountain time, same as RCH), I started listening in to OSoM. Eventually a caller was invited on and I heard him ask something like, "your new show, will it still be called 'Other Side of Midnight'?" Caller obviously searching for clues. RCH said something like, yes, because it will be the "other side of midnight" on the east coast.

I was awake enough to realize that midnight on the east coast is 10pm mountain time, so he won't have to stay up so late, if that's what he meant. However, he also said that they would be simulcasting while the change over is made. Maybe after the change is complete, the show will move to 10pm Mountain time (aka opposite MitD).

I believe he also said that manipulating all the tech he has to use to be on the air is like being a one-armed paper hanger. However, he went on, in the new show he'll have someone to help with all that, so, for example, he can read the Skype messages he doesn't have the time to attend to currently.

And eventually I fell asleep. Tonight's show (starting a 1am Saturday morning here) sounds rather interesting; I may set up my recorder to get it.

I thought it might be interesting to record C2C last night for Fitts (on the chance she might talk about the breakaway civilization and the black budget), but then I remembered who would be interviewing her (gns) and how there are bound to be recent, better interviews with her on YouTube, so I recorded Strieber et al. on MitD instead.

Wed/Thu Dec 17 – Mark Pinkham (Replay from Sept 30)

Now I'm really glad I ended my sub late last month. Seems no one is even trying any more on the Other Side. I may be wrong, we may get an announcement ("No show tonight due to RCH being snowed in and his water and gas pipes frozen" because lows at night in the city are hovering around 20F, and so are much colder in the foothills), but I'll be surprised.  :\ On the bright side, I won't have to set my alarm to wake me up to turn on my recorder Heather's and Rense's shows look boring, too.

Are you guys gonna put out those little paper bag lights?  My folks' neighbors are snowbirds to the Southwest but come back for Christmas and have brought that with them to WA -- all around the cul de sac and up their driveway.  Until the rain puts them out hahaha.

I didn't read this until just now (Dec 16, morning). Yes, rain, snow and wind (separately or all at once) are the bitter enemies of luminarias or farolitos. Fortunately it's usually only cold at night around here. Collect paper lunch bags, some sand for each (ballast), small candle placed inside each in sand, set up during the day along walkways and up to front doors, and then in the evening take long matches or something similar and light the candles. These are usually set up the night before Christmas and are to show (not mean) Baby Jesus and entourage where to go. Aka, posadas.  Some people have switched to plastic bags and small electric lights, which may be safer, and can be put on the edges of buildings, roofs, walls. The city sells tickets and sends big, noisy (at times smelly diesel) city busses along roads in the older, fancier parts of town, taking people to see all the expensive decorations.  Luminarias/farolitos are also used in smaller towns and villages, and are probably home made, nicer and more meaningful to residents.

Oh, and I personally don't do all this as I'm a pagan and also live in an apartment complex.

Ah so Uncle Hoagie is walking the dog in his shearling coat and Stetson hat.  Stay warm, Uncle Hoagie!

He'll need a sarape [blanket] over the coat and an extra thick wool bolo tie. And alligator boots and sheepskin gloves. Probably a muffle or scarf to protect his face, too, when the wind rises. However, right now (Tuesday, 10:10am) it's about 34F, and expected to soar to a broiling 40F today through Thursday, with a whopping high of 46 on Friday. Almost shorts-wearing weather. However, it should be clear every day, with plenty of sunshine. I wonder if he'll have a live show tonight, as my internet is quite slow this morning and I'm blaming the icy cold.

Quote from: K_Dubb on December 14, 2015, 05:52:56 PM
Oh that's just perfect.  If you can't tell for sure whether the show has ended or is just sucking as normal...

Just fyi: Hoagland lives in a village in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains northeast of Albuquerque (on the west side of the mountains). A long-lasting, windy storm is moving in. It sounds cold and scary out there. We're expecting temps to drop deeply -- well, deep for here: 20s in the night, 30s in the day, and it will be colder in the mountains. This weather after a snow fall from early Sunday to ~10am Sunday -- after which the sun came out and melted off a lot -- except in the mountains. So even if he lives in a fancy house with its own solar/wind power sources, there could be weather-related problems (like downed power lines elsewhere) causing the show being in rerun. Note to anybody east of us: this storm is headed for you next!

really Deb? really? still bleating about old GW? This many years later?

Let talk about how many innocents have been killed by direct order from Obama. Oh but maybe I shouldn't bring up politics.

I was describing what I saw in the gif, nothing else. Obama, who at best is a moderate republican, has never and will never get my vote. My votes went to Nader (2004, 2008) and then Stein (2012). Obama has also ignored Fukushima and under his watch many bizarre things have been done, like radiation monitors being turned off (or at least their results not being reported), Japanese food imports are not measured for radiation, the north Pacific Ocean is dying, he hasn't come out against GMOs, he pushes manmade global warming but ignores man continually and obviously poisoning the earth, and more... not that any of those things are covered on many late-night radio shows... I sure wish they were!

Damn squirrels, always stirring the shit and getting us fighting among ourselves.

I immediately thought of the squirrel as Saudi Arabia, the orange cat as GWBush, and the innocent cat as Iraq...  or maybe I shouldn't drag politics into this thread a day later...

Here it is, 5:26pm, Mountain time, I'm about 20 miles southwest of RCH (thus it is about 5:30 his time, too), and his website still doesn't have who his guest or topic will be tonight. Offering a show guest list for the week ahead is the one good thing done by GN (or whoever has skill there on his site). I'll surf a little more to see if something turns up. I want to test my way of recording the show. I may have to test it on Rense instead.

RCH could look at a petrified pile of cat vomit and see an advanced arcology.

I'm a few pages behind, so I don't know if anyone else thought of this, but I'd hope he'd at least say "Proof of cats on Mars!"

And, by the way, I did end my subscription. Subs are 30 days long -- notwithstanding only 5 months of the year have 30 days; 6 have 31 days; one has 28-29 days. But other companies (like our local city bus system) sell "month-long" passes, whatever, and they're only 30 days. But that's capitalism for ya - an irritating pain in the neck.

Well, I like comic books, but I can get commentary and blog posts about them in dozens of places, particularly YouTube. I doubt he'll talk about Invincible anyhow (though he may mention rising star Robert Kirkman). The guest's musical interests do not interest me. I'm glad though that RCH seems to have a wide range of interests so he will welcome such a guest... but I'm no longer willing to pay for it, so it looks like I'll be unsubbing for Thanksgiving day.  If and when RCH's topics and guests become more what I want to hear (though I already download way too many podcasts as it is), I'll resub. I'll probably stick with ABell for another month or two.

I wondered why you had posted this, then I went to http://othersideofmidnight.com/ and saw this is tonight's guest/topic. Listing guests well ahead of time is maybe the only thing C2C does well.

But to me, JamesTurk is another loser. I have zero interest in gold, silver, financial stuff (largely because I don't have any of that). I don't even care about it when clif high talks about it -- booooorriiinggg!!! Now RCH has only Wednesday night to win me back; I may not give him a chance on Monday as I'd prefer not to give Keith the problem of refunding my paypal money if the sub renews a few days before the end of the month ... though if it does, that's not nice, so he deserves the trouble....

Quote from: expat on November 24, 2015, 11:40:45 AM
What was the announcement about Robin last night? Don't tell me she's discovered that water doesn't cure everything? Or even anything?

Water can cure dehydration at least, and can be tried against headaches (also it's cheaper than a doctor visit). RCH didn't say what kind of cancer she had, only that she is feeling better and one of the things he credited is positive thoughts from those who heard about her problems (possibly via C2C). He linked similar actions to his improvement after his heart attack: everyone sent him positive thoughts and feelings, and he got better faster than he believes he might have. He may also have gotten cards and letters wishing him well. Who knows, maybe he's right. It was a nice experience to share. It may further fuel his desire to push for positive outcomes in future technology. Hokey, I know, and it won't influence my decision to unsubscribe or not, but his ideas about remote influencing are better, even nicer than some theories others have promoted.

For example, I recall that not long after March 11, 2011, the Japanese government-paid (and/or -threatened) medical doctor who told everyone via the big media that they wouldn't be harmed by Fukushima radiation if they just smiled enough. If they didn't smile enough, whatever befell them (thyroid problems, cancer, heart attacks, etc., be it in adults or children), they and they alone were to blame for, not Tepco nor the Japanese or US governments' love of nukes nor anyone else, only the unhappy people, particularly those who had to evacuate and still remain in shelters. That doctor didn't mention mammals, birds, fish and other forms of life that can't keep smiling and aren't smiling even on our own west coast because they're, um, deceased.

But RCH doesn't want to talk about all that. :\

I'm sure you’re all curious about my thoughts now! I happened to wake up this morning about 12:45, with ~15 min of Bell to go. I tuned in to a station out of Utah that carries him. MK was talking about some bright future, so I suspect he was not asked about Fukushima.

I continued listening until I realized about 5 min after 1am that I had to switch over to DarkMatter radio because the Utah station doesn't carry OSOM (it switches over to 2 live hours of C2C and 2 repeat hours).

RCH talked a lot. I don’t mind that so much, though I don’t think he knows a thing about “ISIS” or whatever the CIA is calling themselves there now. I kind of understand RCH’s fear of the mysteries of bandwidth. Maybe accepting paying advertisers of his choice would help. As I usually set my sleep timer before trying to go to sleep (usually to KNX out of Los Angeles), I think I don’t affect anybody if I fall asleep during a broadcast.

RCH did mention his studio set up, in Placitas, NM, and I realized that, no, he doesn’t live in Taos like someone (Keith?) told me, but both villages are high in mountainous terrain. Placitas is tiny though, and NE of Albuquerque, on the east side of the Sandia Mountains, so less bad weather. Albuquerque has hospitals that Robin can use, too, good thing, and we have a big airport should they decide to keep travelling.

RCH got into explaining what he wants to do with the show. I think it boils down to: expose evil NASA and breakaway civilization cover ups and promote a bright future for everyone on Earth, including lots of space exploration. No doom porn for him, so it looks like he won’t be covering the real-world things that concern me (or if he does, I fear he'll screw that up).

Thursday night he will repeat JFK special since DarkMatter radio will be shut down for the holiday otherwise. Note that www.Rense.com has had shows with Courtney Brown, who tasked two expert remote viewers to look at JFK’s end [insert possibly banned word there], and Jim Marrs was on at least one show to compare notes. That was fascinating.

I can’t recall what RCH said tonight’s show (Nov 24) will be. No mention of Wednesday night. Friday night he will host someone on some topic that doesn’t interest me. In the near future he will have more news on that sunken ship people want to recover. He will continue to explore how music makes life better and how good old movies and TV actors and shows are wonderful (esp Star Trek).

His callers were boring -- I mean, “okay”. I wondered about the health of the woman who said she was calling from northwest of Tokyo though (I don't think he asked). I bet she excited about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics! (That's a horrifying thought...) He ended the show without giving more detail about the next night’s show. Or maybe I finally fell asleep (sleep timer preset).

So he has tonight, Wednesday night and Monday night the 30th (if I find out the topic in time) to convince me to stick with him. My $5 is just a number to him, so I don’t expect a positive result. If I cancel my sub, I’ll keep track of his shows and if they improve and I might enjoy them, I can resubscribe. Or I can send the money I save to Dana Durnford, who really needs it. I’ll keep my sub to Bell for now.

Oh, and if anyone wants to know about WWI, check out http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/ where you can download a series of terrific, long podcasts that cover more than you’ll ever want to know. And they are free, though I donate by going to Amazon through his site.

In my Years doing this show the guy on Friday night who said with regard to Nuclear War "I would try to get directly under a incoming middle and call for a fair catch" nearly knocked me out.

Please ask him about what's happening at Fukushima and why it is still happening. You can add Hanford, the landfill outside of St. Louis, and any other similar toxic places he may want to comment on. It might help wake people up.

Tros, thanks for posting what is on tonight's show (Nov 23). I've gone from downloading a lot of RCH's shows at first to just about none of them for the last several weeks (and I think I'll be deleting unheard the Morningstar one if I downloaded it -- can't recall -- it's on other computer). Bell, too has had a lot of --IMO-- duds lately, but fewer. So if RCH doesn't make a better effort by the 30th, I'm unlikely to renew. Maybe that's why it takes until nearly show time to announce guests -- maybe RCH only needs 8 minutes of show prep rather than GN's 8 (wasted) hours. Announce late in the day and it will be too late for subscribers to cancel!

It's not like I've been sitting back complaining about his shows. I wrote to him early last week -- and he replied! Briefly. I had plenty of suggestions of topics I'd like to see him cover. Maybe I shouldn't have said "Rense is the only one who covers these things at this time..." Maybe I made RCH jealous (though they are on at different times, they are both broadcast via the internet, and Rense is an angry vegan while RCH... isn't, I guess).

Maybe RCH is uninterested in the extinction-level events I suggest he cover. I wish I had here emailed excuse for not doing so, something about wanting to be scientific. I think I replied that I didn't want anything about Niburu or UFO driving evil bigfeet with fricken lasers on their heads (or I should have put it that way), I want to know more about Fukushima, Hanford, what's happening outside St. Louis, and that kind of thing. (Actually, I read enenews.com, so I know a lot, but his listeners may not know a thing!)  Shouldn't somebody with a national radio show -- other than Jeff Rense, I mean -- be talking about it and have knowledgeable guests (who don't poo-poo it like Obama and Big Energy and Big Bankers do)? Maybe Bell will talk about it with Micho Kaku tonight, as Kaku has in the past voiced great concern about Fukushima... and maybe RCH is just too old to worry about it. I mean, he's six years older than me, fer gawd's sake! That's ancient!

Oh, well, I'll save $5 a month and search YouTube for the latest from Radchick.

I really enjoy LMH ... Not wanting to plug another network, but KGRA has her show Phenomenon Radio on - not sure when it's live, I just catch the reruns at odd times, but it's a good show.

Thursday nights, 8 pm Eastern to 10 pm. However, her cohost has had some health problems (I hope he has improved greatly by now), and of course Linda is always busy investigating something around the world (good thing Albuquerque has an International Airport0, so I suspect it is hard for her to commit to something that happens weekly. It is a show that is free to listen to live, and when KGRA decides to rebroadcast it -- they and many internet-based networks have a problem keeping up-to-date schedules -- listening then is free, too. However, to be sure to get it, one should subscribe... but since there have been few new shows since the broadcast started a few months ago, I don't think it is worth subscribing to yet. One might be better served to subscribe to Linda's website, which is a yearly subscription rather than monthly.

When Phenomenon Radio (her show) is broadcast, they usually do have pretty good guests (Jim Marrs, George Knapp, some famous RV expert) but they do a lot of coverage of the Rendalsham (sp?) Forest UFO case since her cohost, John Burroughs, was part of that.

See http://www.phenomenonradio.com/ which also has some trouble keeping listeners informed with an up-to-date broadcast schedule... but I'm sure they are trying hard to organize things.

I don't know if anyone here will be interested, since I'm not here to complain, but it is OSOM show related.

Last night (Monday, Nov 2), I turned over to the 2nd hour of the Mike Malloy Show, about 10 minutes into the hour (live), and Malloy was talking to a caller (or guest?). Caller/guest mentioned a show wherein Mars and Pluto were talked about, and some upcoming show the topic of which I can't recall (I should have written it down, but it sounded mildly interesting to me; I think it will be a health oriented topic). Malloy grew wistful, saying something like he'd like to do such shows.

Then he asked "Scott" if his (Scott's) show was internet based, on radio, or what? Scott said there are plans for a presence on radio stations (not exactly his words, I failed to write them down, too), but he couldn't talk about them since things are still in the planning stages. Malloy understood, thanked him for the chat, wished him well and went on to a commercial.

So of course I realized it was that Scott (I better not say "our Scott" in this venue) and for some reason that I was too late to hear, he had called in or been called, and he was publicizing OSOM. How cool is that? (I know, most people here don't think it's cool at all but yawn inducing if not downright insulting.) Scott is trying to get the word out about the show, which is good. He turns up on twitter a lot -- which doesn't help me as I check it maybe once a day, hours too late, but he gets brownie points from me for trying. I suspect he does more on facebook than people previously charged with promoting the show.

This morning (11/3) I went into the OSOM site and under "show notes" (which I think is a helpful new feature? Or I just missed it before), and grabbed all the pictures they were talking about in the last two Mars shows so I can refer to them offline.

I did let my subscription continue for both OSOM and MITD. $5 each is a good price since I'm usually sleeping when they're broadcast and buying a digital recorder specifically for them would cost at least ten months' worth of shows and tie up my internet radio for 5 hours at night, too.

Now all I have to do is figure out what "braap" means.

Willard Scott was (is still?) a popular weather forecaster on NBC's Today Show. People in such positions enjoy making fools of themselves (though audiences love them if the fellows are good at it). Our local NBC station has a very long time weatherguy who brings his [adopted stray] dogs in on Friday (when Andy the Weatherdog passed several years ago, everyone was sad); he dresses up like Elvis on Elvis's birthday, wears a tie that is flying over his shoulder on very windy days, wears bizarre Halloween costumes he can barely stand up in, is very popular at the annual balloon fiesta, and more. He also does a lot of charity events and raises money for kids. So if Scott was in costume, it was probably for a good reason
Now if we could get RCH to let down his hair and do something fun... it would make him seem more human, eh?

All this excitement for the ABs (who I'm glad are all right) and fans! What do you bet GN is GNashing his teeth, consuming copious pizza rolls and turkey sammiches, and trying to figure out what to do to scramble back on top of the heap without doing any actual work or risking bodily harm? I can see where he might think about risking Tommy though...

Just tossing in my two sense... (oh, an honest typo! so much for my 40-year career as a typist/wordprocessor! Good thing I'm retiring!) I joined DarkMatter on August 1, I think it was, after signing up with Paypal so I could buy subs to Hoagland and Bell. Of the two, I have downloaded more Hoagland based purely on guests (though I wish someone would go back under the bio of the guests--that info taken from straight from Wikipedia--and add what was talked about).

However (and here's the bizarre part, I guess), I have not had time to listen to any of them unless I happen to wake up while one or the other is on (I can listen to the live versions via a Grace Mondo Digital Internet radio). I plan to catch up on listening and many other things (reading, watching recorded TV shows, etc.) now that I'll be working a lot less.

I have read the Hoagland thread up to this point and don't know if I'll be renewing since the quality of guests may now be dropping. I have two weeks to decide. I can tell Paypal not to stop all payments on Oct 30 (a Friday) or maybe the next morning and probably it'll take effect immediately.

Or... the guests may be great and I'll keep my subscription(s). It's not a huge amount of money and better than trying to figure out how to record them live when I get advance notice of a show topic, though it seems to me producers(?) don't like to give any advance notices... surprise!

Now if Bell would stop having bigfoot in Atlantis visiting bottomless holes to find evil witches shows, I'd be happier.

ABell reported "George Noory willing to accept draft for White House run" and I immediately think: I didn't know GNoory drank beer, let alone was able to run. Stroll at best, or toddle. Maybe depend on the time of day (or night). And if he approaches the White House, will the Secret Service stop him (because they're mean)? Will they recognize him and hesitate to shoot -- or shoot anyhow out of a sense of duty to humanity? Will they miss?
