Art Bell was the best. And he did it without really interjecting himself or his own opinions into the broadcast. He'd put, literally, anybody on the air and just keep handing them more and more rope.
That's why, for me, Coast to Coast doesn't work with George Noory. He's too invested personally. And yeah, he's pretty dull to listen to, but it's just too much about pushing stuff he believes in instead of just getting weird ideas and stories out there for their own sake.
But nobody does it like Art did, and probably nobody ever will.
