Very nice article.  I don't know what you should do, Art.  I do know I just want to listen to Art Bell at night.  Whatever it takes.

You obviously didn't do a current search of that PO Box. You should probably apologize to the current holders of it.

What if they get a bunch of checks/cash, though? Will they still require an apology? heh heh

Fucking T-Rex got Jobbed at the end! That made me angry. Trained raptors... *sigh*

What I didn't get was exactly how does a history in the Navy qualify one to be the freaking raptor whisperer?

Either way, I don't think you'll need to worry about reaching 70k for a while with the numbers the DMRN is pulling each night.

They're carrying The Spec Sheet again. Things at DMRN are cranking now because of that.

Required Navy qualifications for 'raptor whisperer' Jurassic World position:

1. Must look good in a leather vest
2. Must be a "cool" and relatable male
3. Must be alive
4. That is all

Because Star Lord... That's what I told my wife.

Ok I have a question for the group, of course we will begin with a live stream as promised BUT if it gets to big to fast we will be faced with a impossible situation perhaps very quickly, I refer to our music which I must have. There are two possible solutions both are tough. If we get past a point where about 70,000 are listening live and not enough people choose to order the Podcast we can either limit Bandwidth which will piss people off or start charging everybody who wants to listen five bucks a Month unless we do one of those things we will go broke pretty quickly. Opinions please???

Could be a moot point if we start small, nobody knows.

Charge $5.00/Mo.  But since I'm ordering the podcast anyway, I don't know how much help I am for you.

Personally I think $5 is way to low. You can find many podcasts dealing with similar subjects and they charging you more then $5, or they have free podcasts once a week, and do usually between 2 to 4 a month and they are charging you 8 to 10 bucks a month. IMHO charging $10 or $15 a month is reasonable for your show, after all You are the King of late night radio hosts, Period.

Sadly, most Hollywood movies reach the Dave Suck Level these days. Actually, it's the entire culture really. Dave is a symptom of modern culture, corporatism forces mediocrity down our throats in all things, whether it's broadcast radio, film, music, etc.

I'm not optimistic about Star Wars. I hope I'm wrong, god I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, J. J. Abrams was about the last person I'd have given it to. And Disney is about the last company I would have sold out to if I had been Dave Lucas (I'm not too impressed with George Lucas these days). I hope I'm wrong too, but I'm scared shitless.

Art put the cutest pic on FB. I don't feel at liberty to post it here though. He sure looks great!

I know its a gamble and such. But i would think that the subscription would be a no brainer at $5 considering it will be going out over 20 terrestrial stations.  Lots of, "Hey Bill you gotta hear this thing!" Going on.  I will gladly support and then some!  Gotta spread the excitement beyond the Art fans.  Make new fans of people who think they know good radio.  The big turning point will be the blitz and watercooler talk the next day.  Instead of descibing what happened, they can get it straight from the horses mouth.   Just gotta keep those pirates at bay. (No pun intended. Welll.... ok... just a liittle bit intended. )

Yeah, Chris Pratt didn't take his shirt off once.

I hadn't managed to put my finger on what disappointed me about the movie. This got it.

Abrams has done a descent job with StarTrek IMO.  However, just slapping the Star Wars brand name on a movie is guaranteed cash. Less CGI, more sets please.

Yes.  The Suck is pervasive.

You must have a different Art Bell because I'm not seeing anything on Art's page from today except the link to the USA today article and Jaz's trailer.

BTW Art if you post videos or trailers then you should wait until a little preview window thumbnail comes up as more people will likely click on it. Just my 2 Tasty Canadian cents. I don't want people missing that great trailer.
