So many technical issues solved. Now if I could only cure my back problems. If I had to be on today I would not be on, holy crap it is sore. I am headed to the Doctor this Afternoon. I really got cheated when God issued backs.

The first time I went to a chiropractor, my back was so bad I literally crawled on my hands and knees through the office door. About a half-hour later, I was able to walk out. I've been a believer ever since.

"Art Bell Always" on Tune In went off for a long time, but has been back for a couple of months and plays fine.

yes, or i'm totally wrong and should shut my face since... hey, why should anyone give a shit what i think, in all honesty?  it's just my opinion.

Well MV, I listened to Church when he first came on DMRN and he wasn't too bad - never great, but got worse as time went by. But, he did suggest in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that he and AB were tight and talked to him regularly. Church assumed the role of holding the fort down 'til AB came back. He needed to get called out and I'm glad AB did so. That's all.

I found this on a thread below, it is a comment from a radio guy working for a big AM station, I am not sure where:
As far as Art Bell, his words: "He's alienated his audience. If he podcasts, it will be mildly successful". His core audience is the age that may not want to deal with podcasts. The subject matter is so overcooked that there is nothing left to eat. And he's proven to be an unreliable media personality. Plus he's no a young man playing in a young man's world. He will get a bump out of the gate on popularity and then it will slide south as the newness wears off. Once it becomes evident that he doesn't get even 5000 subscribers, he will shut it down. If Art was serious about making a go of it, he would do terrestrial radio + podcast it like his main competition. Otherwise it's a hobby.

He makes some pretty good points, some not so good, my core audiance is really 8-80 Years old, so about that he is wrong. The subject matter is over cooked but the product has been slaughtered by most Chefs. He has a bias for commercial radio because that's who signs his paycheck but I have a flash for him AM radio is dying, the shares are now tiny and shrinking fast and I am sorry for that because I love Radio but the writing is on the wall. As far as how my listeners feel about me, well I've pissed off lots of people in my time, if you live long enough, so will you.

I am not a young man anymore, 70 in June but many of the best Paranormal Broadcasters in the World have been older. Lastly, if it becomes a Hobby then it will be a very good one.

Well said Art. AM broadcast radio is dying -- it is a shame, but woefully true. Folks want to listen when they have time to listen and not be tied to a broadcast schedule. TV is changing as well, with on-demand streaming gaining ground on cable and satellite. I believe it was Michio Kaku (who you've interviewed several times!) who said on your show, the development of the internet was a huge step in transforming our society into a Type 1 civilization. It's so true, Art. I know you wanna take a ride! So do we!! Good luck OM – de WW8X

Maybe yinz will get lucky and go back the hear proper & authentic Pittsburghese again soon.
In the meantime make sure yinz always have some gumbands and pop handy.

Strange commentary coming from Paul Krugman, a world-class communist ass kisser.

It's time to take a moment to extend thanks and appreciation to the black community for the class they've shown during these troubling times. They've conducted themselves admirably, with patience and understanding â€" seeking the truth before expressing their anger, all the while showing respect for law, order and private property.

Oops, never mind... grabbing a policeman's service weapon is asking to be killed. Wilson said in his interview if the the perps had gotten out of the street when asked, he probably would have continued on his way to lunch.[/size]

Sorry there Jimmy... Fader "NOT".

Independent Scotland? Independent from what?
They should simply stick to doing what they do best: Distilling good whiskey.

Finally!! The liberal hate mongers think they got a juicy story on the Palin's! They've been trying for years to dig up a scandal to nail these upstart hillybillies with â€" too bad for them this story is nothing but a pimple on their collective butts compared to Anthony Weiner, Eliot Spitzer, John Edwards, Jim McGreevey, Bill Clinton scandals â€" Oh and don't forget to add America's own royalty family: The Kennedy Klan.

Jimmy's show is generally pretty good. Except his first half-hour is a waste of time and repetitive -- it would help to speed it up to get to the meat of show's topic much sooner. Whether he is the next AB or not remains to be seen -- apparently, he thinks so.

Anyone have ideas of what this means? I know that Jimmy has mentioned Art's return several times on his program "Fade to Black". He said that when Art returns it will be after "Fade to Black" on the Dark Matter Radio Network.

Besides silly comments about the name Jimmy, it would be more interesting to hear comments about the content of his show "Fade to Black" --- he has interesting guests and does superb interviews. Jimmy Church does good radio.

Downloaded fairly quickly and seeding now. Thanks Williedee... you Rock!

  I like to pretend that I am 10 years old and this radio thing is a birthday gift.  I get them all worked up by asking if they could come over and help me with it. "I'm all alone right now and there's nobody to teach me."  The offers of bus fare to their location.....

CQ... CQ... Hello... CQ!

Yeah, I know where your coming from. I listen to the Ham bands on my multi band radio. It's geezerville, mainly guys in the 60-to-80 range talking about the old good ole days of 25cent tappers and $5 whores. And talking about how tube amplifiers give a richer sound to music. And how many QSL cards they've gotten over the decades. Reminds me of kids collecting Pokemon cards!:P

Listening around on your crappy multi band radio, makes you an expert on Ham radio? Friend, Ham radio is no more fucked up than other hobby. What do you do with your spare time, except listen to the geezers?

I'm impressed with Jimmy Church's style. He knows his topic and does his homework. Asks fair questions. Is a gentlemen. I sense he is serious about putting out a quality product -- and it shows.

Been listening to Jimmy Church for a few weeks now... he's the real deal. It's nice to have an alternative to listening to Art Bell reruns all the time.

All this Art Bell dead shit needs to stop now. Mega bad Karma... just sayin'
