Nighttrain: A Conversation About Late night Talk Radio

Nighttrain:  A Conversation About Late Night Talk Radio


Who is talking.


Who is listening.


Do you listen to a nighttime chat radio station?

Just wondering if it is work or a particular schedule that finds one up at night and tuning into their favorite chat show.

Are you like me--sleeping just works out much better with the radio on and a good conversation with a new and unusual topic.  something to hold your interest other than the news.  A good story teller fills the bill.

What is your best station or do you prefer internet radio or a good podcast?

Encouraging readers' comments about your favorite show, host, likes and dislikes.

Here is a link to the Coast to Coast AM Facebook page:

Listening to Coast almost every evening but just wondering why it is always the same folks calling in all of the time.

It is a little bit on the boring side to me.


Your thoughts.......

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.
