Is the guest pool drying up?  Not to be critical, but these 3rd rate guests are going to chase away the remaining listeners.  Still waiting for my requests from the scientific community; CDC communicable disease specialist, Oceanic scientist, alternative energy...

The guest pool started drying up about the time Netscape released a browser for the Internet and people could search for "evidence". This is a challenge for any paranormal show. All of these guests make the rounds on way too many shows, retelling the same stories.

I think if MITD is going to continue, that it needs to expand subject matter, much like you have suggested.

You should email specific suggestions into the show.

Even when Art was at the helm, Heather didn't really respond to that much, at least to me (and I was a subscriber at the time). I really don't expect her to much more than what she's already dredging up at the moment.

I did request specific guests in the guest suggestion thread that Heather once said she followed.  I think she's likely overwhelmed with the mundane aspects of doing the show, could really use a producer.

I don't think Dr J or Heather ever came to BellGab looking for guest suggestions. I think they always requested emails to producer@midnightinthedesert.com.

The photos reveal a McDonalds on Mars.

I just hope it isn't right across the street from the Eiffel Tower.  Hoagland probably won't be happy to hear that the Milli Vanilli of woo merchants is muscling in on his territory.

However just prior to that, there was a beautiful, but brief, paradoxical increase in paranormal buzz due to speculation engine known as Usenet.

Of course I recall the "Rods" stuff, that was debunked but at least was fun and lasted a while out there, but wasn't he also, more recently, involved with the Area-51 "alien reveal" slides deal (where it was some mummies in a museum?) Or different guy?

Just throwing this out there...I think I proposed the smoking jacket back at the start of OSOM...I put up this gif...



Is that wrong? Just saying...LOL :-)

Oh man, I'm not sure how to do that math, so just gonna call it even.   ;)

After seeing the rod on Mars for cryin' out loud and the Golden Eiffel Arches on top of that, it's no contest.  If Diogenes were forced to choose between him and Michael Horn, with death not an option, he would pick MH every time. I initially had no intention of listening to him, but since his cheese has obviously slipped completely off the rails, this has the potential to be very entertaining in a grotesque, surreal way so I'm going to be a "desert wader" tonight and listen until I can't stand any more.  :D

What original Art Bell guest hasn't been debunked?

I've emailed her some true crime suggestions. Always liked those on Dark City, it'd be fun to hear on MITD. Spooky enough for late night, none of the qualms about it being 90% bullshit.

I think he may have helped to debunk the "Roswell slides," but any sliver of credit he may have garnered from that is worthless since his website is called "Roswell Rods" dot com...apparently every shyster pos on the planet tries to sell more product by adding "Roswell" to their garbage.

George Carlin (well some of his stuff I won't agree with but most of his political cynicism was ok,) Willie, Mr.Fidget, Alan Keyes, Gordon Lightfoot, and Peter Davenport (although, admittedly, not all of his reports are as "interesting" as he thinks.)

if someone could point me to an Art Bell interview with George Carlin, I'll put you on the christmas card list

Eric Burdon.  He was pushing a book but it wasn't paranormal.
