The Big Interview with Gary Anderson from Night Dreams Talk Radio Part 2
The Big Interview with Gary Anderson from Night Dreams Talk Radio Part 2
Recently had the pleasure of chatting with Gary Anderson host of Night Dreams Talk Radio and his producer James Creachbaum.
Listening to talk radio forever, and mainly Coast to Coast AM, it was informative to hear Gary's take on how the talk radio business works.
He started in talk radio after his military career where he listened to a show called Nightcap where they talked about anything and everything all night long.
After the service he followed his dream into commercial broadcasting. His plan to spin Top 40 abruptly ended when his station was changed to news/talk after one day of employment.
Nevertheless, Gary found the paranormal as a topic and this has worked for him for 46 years.
One of the very cool things about his career is that he became friends with Art Bell and I think we could say that Art was sort of his mentor, also.
He made many trips to Art Bell's studio in Pahrump, Nevada. They had many things in common including paranormal talk shows and they both were Ham radio operators.
They both had strong feelings about having a certain respect for the guest and the audience.
I learned that from Art--I never talk down to the guest or use swear words and I try to maintain a certain respect for the audience. I do not insult the audience. I do not like that.
I treat the guest I am interviewing as if they were sitting on my couch in my living room. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed and I think it makes for a better interview and therefore it is better for the listener. It is a better show.
They have respect for the audience.
The show is free.
They are not offensive and there is not swearing.
Gary Anderson's respect for the show, the guest, the audience, the topic come through loud and clear. His zeal for what he does is the take-away from my conversation with him.
It was actually uplifting and I would like to convey that in this report.
Gary Anderson is happy to tell people about his radio show and that is admirable in this day and age.
I interview somebody as if they were sitting in my living room. I want them to know I am paying attention and interested in what they are saying.
Seriously, when you are chatting with him on the phone, he does make you feel like you are the most important person in the world.
He is good. He is a good interviewer. I was interviewing him--he was actually better at interviewing me--he is that good. He is interested in what you say. Gary has that lovely radio voice and the ability to ask questions. He brings the best out of the person he is talking to.
I take and old school attitude on the interview with the guest!
I talk to the person like they are sitting in my living room on the couch.
I pretend they are right there with me and not on the internet. I am not about making money. I am not selling dating. My old shows do not cost money to listen to and they are not going to--I strongly believe in that--I am not going to charge somebody to listen to my old shows.
I am not selling dating and I am not selling vitamins
To be continued.........
Part 3 of my interview with Gary Anderson is coming up with more fascinating facts about his life, his career and his radio show.
Thank you, Gary

What has happened to Coast to Coast AM
What has happened to Coast to Coast AM.
While everyone knows George Noory is a gifted and experienced journalist one wonders why he often lets the nighttime talk radio show Coast to Coast AM drift into the land of ultra right-wing political banter and plain--just selling things.
Why George.......
This is a good show. It is the format for interesting and unusual listening in the night. It seems like it has a huge audience. There are so many folks out there who work in the night, drive or just cannot sleep.
The show has many purposes and many kinds of listeners.
Constant selling and ultra right-wing politics get old fast.
George often iisists, "Oh, this show is not political."
"We are apolitical here on Coast to Coast."
Really, George, because your guests with shady proven track records, the likes of Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi make it seems as if you're very one-sided towards the conservative beat.
Do some listeners find this offensive/?
The other huge looming questions:
Is there anything that exists on this planet that George Noory will not sell.
Your thoughts and what station do you listen to in the night.......
Just wondering--does Thomas from La Jolla pay George to be allowed to call in and chat endlessly?
Here is a new talk station in LA. I will check it out.

Can't Wait To Hear Art Bell
Always listening to talk radio.....can't wait for the new show of Art Bell.
No, I always knew Art was a very talented radio show host but lately night time talk radio has become a vast wasteland of uninteresting chit chat with an ultra conservative political agenda ad nauseum........not to mention boring.
Who decided the nighttime format warranted unending political editorials,,,,,,,,,leave it to the daytime and CNN.
What happened to plain old interesting and sometimes bizarre UFO talk?
Where we were once able to enjoy an engaged talk show host the likes of Larry King or George Strombo we are now left with one-sided political droning.
It even seems like the current regular nighttime man is more interested in promoting his own commercial agenda at the expense of the listener and the guest.
Enter Art Bell.........
I guess what one does not really understand, like all very talented individuals, is that it very difficult to keep a talk show going at an interesting and engaging level night after night. It must require a certain level of focus and genuine interest.
We never realized just how gifted Art Bell was until he was gone.......Yes, we have George Knapp, but not on a regular basis.
Give a listen to Art's old shows......he makes the guest sound as if we are so lucky to hear his opinion and take on things. Art has the knack of making the subject matter important and worthwhile.
When one listens to the very old shows and they are way better than the current........I think we have to give credit to the host.
Can't wait for your return Mister Art Bell.......It's been way too long. I am going to appreciate you more this time.
Here is a link to Art's page telling all about his new show........
