Other talk shows on WFMU

Not a bad idea for a new show at all for the station.  My friend who manages a used bookstore was telling me a few days ago how "paranormal romance" is huge these days.  Probably bigger segments of the population interested in this sort of thing than even underground music.

Like this kind of thing?

"Only a vampire can love you forever," said Twilight fan Mahdis Aruni, a 20-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont.

My wife reads everything that comes out in the paranormal romance genre. I knew all about this new HBO show awhile ago since she buys everything by that author the day it comes out.

I remember hearing about something like this on Coast to Coast awhile back. It had something to do with people who thought aliens were coming down and having sex with them in there sleep I cant remember the specific name they gave the phenomena.

I don't think it's as serious as Coast to Coast might talk about.  It's pure romance fiction, like Emma's link.  Though I'm sure alien-human rendezvous factor in somewhere.

I should mention that that article has changed the way I give relationship advice, in that now all I ever tell my friends is that they should be dating vampires. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN LOVE YOU FOREVER.

I love The Dusty Show. Clay Pigeon's radio persona either has, or maintains the facade of respect for every individual he speaks to. It's a refreshing break. Almost as if Mister Rogers addressed only adults, but without a drip of irony or sarcasm.

To my horror, I called him on the air about 8 or 9 weeks ago, and accidentally opened with "Hey Dusty" although I had been repeating "his name is CLAY" in my head like a mantra. He assumed I was a crank caller, as if I was going to scream something moronic like "you've been DAVED" and hang up, but once I convinced him otherwise, he was nice as could be.

Does Night People have a podcast feed?  I know how to extract an mp3 out of the m3u stream, but I'm more lazy than than I am clever.

Now I know why my Twilight fan girlfriend still goes out with me... I work nights and I'm surrounded by blood (in a clinical research laboratory).  So she must think I'm a vampire.

I used to be obsessed with Coast to Coast, but gave up the "ghost" after art bell retired for the fifth time. Maybe I'll pick it up again if he ever loses interest in his island child bride and starts doing shows again. George Noory just doesn't have that special something.

I listened to some recent shows after reading this, and I think I'm on-board with that show now.

I've also been enjoying Night People.

I don't know the rule on bringing up old posts, but I like how at least one hosts on the Night People listens to TBS. They know where they stand on the talk show totem pole.

[masterofsparks]

When are they going to start podcasting Night People?

[Nicksy]

I love the 'prank patrol' as Tom calls it. Nick the Bard this week was HILARIOUS.

Yeah, The Dusty Show is pretty good, because Clay has this disarming (and sometimes somewhat alarming) level of earnestness about everything.

Just started listening on DFK's recommendation and I'm way into it.  Good stuff.  He's from Iowa, right?  I actually know a few earnest avant-gardist types from Iowa.  What's up with that?
