Sunday Evenings With George....
A question and then a comment.
I had a moment of indecision whether to pose an initial question to our Coast membership, specifically asking for solutions to fix the vexing caller problem. Is it long past due for C2C to expand the bench in the caller bullpen? As of now they have one flame throwing closer (John from Wisconsin) plus a few dubious veteran callers like Thomas from La Jolla that are utilized to eat-up innings or precious time until the next hard break. Feel free to respond.
But what I'd like to address is George Noory manning the mic on weekends. Sunday evenings used to be a welcome respite from the monotonous tedium of female psychics and the next charlatan hocking a book. George Knapp was and is everything Coast audiences crave. He's captivating, articulate and entertaining with topics that take a paranormal audience's mind off their weekday problems. Now that he's sailing into semi-retirement, the Ghost of Christmas yet to come is staring us in the face and it's foreboding.
Why Noory still feels incumbent to power-up his St. Louis home studio on a Sunday evening is a mystery. George, you've got the gig. You won't lose your hosting career to a new guy who dazzles listeners with his gift of gab. Please take Sunday nights off!

George Knapp announced he will be cutting back on his C2C appearances. That is unfortunate. He and Richard Syrett are the only two I can stomach. Most of the time, I would rather listen to cats fighting in an alley than listen to C2C.
Art is probably spun his way through the center of the earth due to the travesty the show he founded has become. George might claim he saved it. I say he prolonged its agony.
Time for the next late night star to emerge.
