Also the audio needs to go out when you go through a tunnel or around a bend. And then you have to hunt for it again on the dial through all the static on another station.
Nothing beats late 1990’s Art Bell on the middle of the night, growing more enthralled (and paranoid) by the minute!
The Area 51 call in shows were amazing. Mel’s Hole is another one.
Was a great time to appreciate radio. RIP Art Bell. You are missed.

Also note the difference between flying into restricted airspace and flying by it.
It was far less fun any time George Noory was guest hosting. He just let guests run unchallenged. Art Bell was good at going on the guest's journey without letting them go too far off in the weeds.
If it’s not like that, it’s healing crystals or some other weird alternative health stuff. In that way, Noory practically turned the show into SkyMall for the conspiracy subculture. Art’s guests just as often exhibited an earnest belief in whatever weirdness they were bringing.
Noory is just another radio guy and tends to inject conservative radio trope into something that was really pure fun and wacky stuff.
