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.

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.

What Is Wrong With George Noory--America's Favourite Late Night Radio Talk Show Is Suffering

 

What Is Wrong With George Noory?

 Coast to Coast AM, America's favourite late night UFO show is suffering with the current host,


George Noory, who took over for Art Bell continues to deliver false information that is actually harmful to our nation.


In his usual fashion of ignoring science he continues to promote any negative aspect he can find--or more importantly, make-up--about the COVID vaccine.

It seems like many of his decisions about the show may have been rooted in money.  


Why?


Is it his love of money?


Is it because his show listener base is mainly the conservative audience?  The listeners might be of all political avenues that just like to listen to the radio in the night.  We all love a good UFO show but why promote ideas that go against science and have the potential to harm the welfare of the individuals that make up our country,


Asking George.........


Why not give equal time to a scientist that promotes the vaccine and is studied in the benefits of vaccines and immunizations.


George, you always say your show is apolitical but one wonders with your constant promotion of News Max and extreme conspiracy guests like Jerome Corsi, that you are either very conservative yourself or more accurately you know where your bread is buttered.


Do you feel you have any responsibility to tell the truth?


Your thoughts..........


Who is your favourite late night radio talk show host?

Stormy Rental Practices Rain Down on The Ethiopian Community of Seattle--Destination: Rainier Beach

  If your daughter rented a place wouldn't she expect to be able to wash her hair?

Of course, Lilly, the property manager was angry when it was explained to her that staying there was just too scary.  It was a trap.  An accident waiting to happen.


No Hot Water.........


That was the reason one would panic and leave.

and

The toilet did not work--the toilet was old and did not flush well, it would be stopped up so easily.

There were roaches

There were no screens on the windows.

The family next door had a plastic sheet in place of a sliding glass door.


All of these things were plenty of reason for concern on their own  The defining factor was that there were over 20 addendums to the lease specifically stating the tenant had to follow rules against the so called practices and philosophy of the landlord.


For example:  how does one air out their apartment to prevent mold when there are no screens on the windows.  It was explained to me by the maintenance man the landlord does not want to buy screens.  No one has screens.


Then why does the addendum to the lease state one must air out their quarters to prevent mold.  This is not right.


Rainier Beach--The Eden Rock Apartment is where these confusing rental practices are taking place.under the property management company of Columbia Modern Living.


It is messed up.


It is confusing.


The tenant does not have a chance.


It is a trap for the unsuspecting tenant who has signed a lease and a payday for the landlord.


But why--why does this exist.  Who does it benefit.


Rented the place--1650.00 per month--no hot water.


The first day I tried to take a bath.  I had said, "Oh, I like to have a bath tub," when I initially viewed the apartment.  Lilly never mentioned there was never going to be enough hot water to take a bath, to fill the tub, let alone wash one's hair.


There was hot water to do the dishes, initially.


One would guess due to the very tiny hot water heater in the closet, upon getting in the tub with hot water on only, the water ran out before the tub was three inches full.  Cold was already coming in so there was no need to mix cold and hot water in order to get in the tub.  So how does one get enough hot water to wash their hair?


The maintenance man came by.  He was very nice and kindly explained that was the way the landlord wanted it.  The water could not be too hot because children or other tenants could easily get burned.  It was a safety issue.  He did not have, really, any hair.  It was actually very thin and short.  Did he not understand,  Had he heard this complaint before.  He had a quick answer.


Shortly there after, there was no hot water.  One would have thought the hot water was turned off completely.  Later it was realized the hot water was on but very low.  The hot water was not warm enough to do the dishes.  Certainly it was not warm enough to take a bath.


Why--what was going on?


Did someone turn off the hot water after the complaint--after the issue was mentioned.


No hot water, the plastic in place of the sliding door of the neighbor's apartment, again against the addendum, satellite dishes all over the place, again against the addendum, no screens on the windows, the poorly flushing toilet.  I'm panicked.  I'm running.


Why does this situation exist--who benefits--who suffers.


Lilly was called in the afternoon.  I said I could not stay there.  I was threatened later in an e-mail.


"I sure hope no one breaks in and you will be charged for the damage!"


Why not go and get the keys left on the kitchen counter as stated-there was plenty of time.


Wouldn't it be easier to get the keys and prevent a bad situation rather than make a threat was the e-mail reply.


In a recent e-mail to tenants.


Do not put things in the toilet including toilet paper.  If the toilet is clogged a 25 dollar charge will be made against the renter.


Who is the landlord and why are they taking advantage of this community.


Does Lilly consider herself to be a ghetto landlord.
