Coast to Toast

I've never been much of a fan of Coast to Coast. I know that is considered blasphemy to some, but there it is. I found the show to be sometimes intriguing when I'd catch the odd episode, like the Titor one or the one where the guy calls from a payphone, claiming to have escaped from A51 saying that ETs are actually Inter-Dimensional beings. And lets not forget the guy who flew over A51 while Art repeatedly suggested he should maybe turn the fuck around.

But then came Snoory.

As interesting as any C2C episode might have been, it was mostly entertainment (to me, at least) and not so much a media in which I felt I'd receive quality info from. But I suppose that it was a staple for many before the onslaught of Podcasts, especially more of the high-brow shows like Paratopia, Paracast and Radio Misterioso (the latter of which is in dire need of an update).


Anyway, why am I babbling about C2C? Because the esteemed Robert Barrow has posted a new article regarding the affiliation of C2C with Sean David Morton (who, if you do not know, is a self-proclaimed Psychic that has recently gotten himself mixed up in a heap of legal troubles).

Morton has had a pretty sketchy track record, and is 1/2 of a popularly heated dispute between Royce Myers III, the original owner of UFO Watchdog, when Myers listed Morton in the sites 'Hall of Shame' category.

Here's an excerpt:

The Web site, UFO Watchdog (see link) posted Morton prominently in its "Hall of Shame" section (must see) years ago, but words of caution never diverted Coast from incorporating this gentleman into the show on numerous occasions. After all, the listeners love him, the hosts apparently love him, and the producers -- well, I suspect the producers may have become lax over the years, finding it necessary to frequently invite as guests almost anything that snorts, squeaks, grunts or spits, so long as doing so keeps the audience listening and purchasing sponsors' products. But mixing the spice and the sensational with an increasingly anemic format may not bode well for the future, despite the truly useful or entertaining interviews conducted on the show occasionally.
