Art Bell. For night owls. His show is on when most folks are asleep.
And he has one of the most active websites on the net at
http://www.artbell.com with up to date news and discussion groups.
This is talk radio on the fringe, with paranormal, El Nino and generally
"out there" type content.

Art Bell is a minor phenomenon who has hit upon a currently hot vein
of thinking and has managed to mine that vein better than anyone else.
I love his show, when he's on a subject I care about. He follows the
old Larry King policy of not screening calls, so the whackos and nut
cases do get on... difference is they *stay* on this show! Larry would
always come back with "He gets one call a week from the home & he calls
here!" to the caller as he hung up and went to another caller. My
main problem with Art Bell is that he's on so late it's hard to find
time to hear his show. You can always tape it, but that's four hours
of time to find later to listen... maybe three with the ability to scan
past the news & ads, but still a lot of time.
I also like Art's attitude of letting the listener decide who's crazy
& who's not. He gives most callers a chance to make their case, and
doesn't constantly belittle and talk down to his callers. You, as a
listener can do as good a job of seperating the good from the bad, and
don't need a show host to do your thinking for you.

For me it's the guests that make the show work. The Art Bell show is one of the most entertaining shows out there! I am hard pressed to name a place where I can hear better stories than on this show. The material that they come up with is classic. I'm sure that there are Hollywood script writers just pulling there hair out when they hear this stuff. It's so great.
I don't believe the stuff that goes on there, but that doesn't matter - It's fun! It always gives me that "War of the Worlds" feeling late at night.
Favorite guest - Richard C. Hoagland, with his never-ending explanations of his "investigation". This is the face on Mars guy.
Also favorites - Major Ed Dames, the remote viewer from a black CIA project in the '80s; Whitley Strieber, the author; Al Bielick of the Philadelphia Experiment; and the guy that "flew into Area 51 and got shot down"; etc.
These guests could never be conjured up by a writer. It is these characters coming on the show and doing there stuff (with Art letting you, the listener, decide whether or not they're nuts) that makes the show great for me.

On a more current note, TIME magazine's August 9th issue has a 2-page spread
on Art under the Radio section. It does go into a bit of the matter mentioned above. It is worth a read. Pages 64-65.

Art Bell has been back on the radio show periodically. The guy is a ham and has about 15 computers in his house near Area 51.
Last night he had the guy on who runs http://www.vortex.com ... it was one of the more fascinating shows I've heard with my little pillow speaker. In fact, it got me up and typing away.
"The world has changed because of the Internet, a lot of those changes are wonderous and a lot of them are [horrorific].
The gist of his effort:
"People For Internet Responsibility (PFIR) is pleased to announce an "emergency" conference aimed at preventing the "meltdown" of the Internet -- the risks of imminent disruption, degradation, unfair manipulation, and other negative impacts on critical Internet services and systems in ways that will have a profound impact on the Net and its users around the world.
The dates for this conference are Monday through Wednesday, July 26 through 28, 2004 -- with all sessions and working groups at the Furama Hotel Los Angeles, just five minutes north of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
A continuing and rapidly escalating series of alarming events suggest that immediate cooperative, specific planning is necessary if we are to have any chance of avoiding the meltdown. "Red flag" warning signs are many. A merely partial list includes attempts to manipulate key network infrastructures such as the domain name system; lawsuits over Internet regulatory issues (e.g. VeriSign and domain registrars vs. ICANN); serious issues of privacy and security; and ever-increasing spam, virus, and related problems, along with largely ad hoc or non-coordinated "anti-spam" systems that may do more harm than good and may cause serious collateral damage.
All facets of Internet users and a vast range of critical applications are at risk from the meltdown. Commercial firms, schools, nonprofit and governmental organizations, home users, and everybody else around the world whose lives are touched in some way by the Internet (and that's practically everyone) are likely to be seriously and negatively impacted.
Most of these problems are either directly or indirectly the result of the Internet's lack of responsible and fair planning related to Internet operations and oversight. A perceived historical desire for a "hands off" attitude regarding Internet "governance" has now resulted not only in commercial abuses, and the specter of lawsuits and courts dictating key technical issues relating to the Net, but has also invited unilateral actions by organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) that could profoundly affect the Internet and its users in unpredictable ways.

They talked about the Internet meltdown on the show. And black boxes in cars and radio implant chips.
Spyware. Software in your computer that sends out information without your knowledge or permission. It can be benign such as sending what websites you visit.
At it's worst, it can transmit the entire contents of your disk, install child porn on your system or anything you can imagine in your worst nightmares.
They can see your screen, they can see the keys you type.
I just downloaded some pretty cool Spyware Search & Destroy programs and found my system was cluttered with Spyware.

They're trying to figure out what to do about the Internet. The answer, Lauren says, it about finding balance. He has a bbs call PFIR forums.

The Internet and Privacy
Lauren Weinstein (vortex.com), the founder of People for Internet Responsibility (PFIR), joined Art Saturday night to discuss privacy issues and the future of the Internet.
Weinstein said the Internet was not originally designed for the things it's used for now, and this has resulted in many problems. One of those problems, according to Weinstein, is the increased traffic caused by junk email -- spam. He said more than half of all email is spam, and "unless it's dealt with through major changes fairly soon there's just not going to be anything left."
Weinstein suggested that requiring payments to send email (an often touted solution in the anti-spam community) is not practical and would be ineffective in stopping spam. In order to implement such a system, Weinstein claims it would require a way to identify senders, accept micropayments, and control the end email applications. The cost of doing this would be highly prohibitive, thus Weinstein concludes that "pay per message schemes... are doomed to failure."
Later, Weinstein covered various topics including encryption, black boxes, and RFID tags -- technologies that are surrounded with privacy concerns. He believes that we are living in the "Golden Age" of privacy, and that one day the idea of privacy will be archaic, if understood at all. This is something that, Weinstein cautions, "we should be very concerned about."
