    is mid 90's Art Bell.

    I would love to hear what his take is on this whole year would be.

    (this only is on my brain because I'm listening to Dancing Queen, which was one of his bumper music songs)

    I loved the Phil Hendrie bits where he's doing Art Bell. I can be in the worst mood, but the second I hear him doing his Art Bell impersonation, I lose it.

    he does one where Phil, as Art, impersonates Phil, but as Art. And Art plays all 3 characters in one skit and completely loses track of which character he's doing (they all have the same art bell voice).

    Phils whole shtick was that he'd play the characters of a radio show..the hosts, the callers, everything.

    He used to (he might do a podcast now). He used to do "shtickerooskie", but then tried more political based, and then went away for a bit, and then tried a comeback. But I think it became a case of "out of sight out of mind" and time passing him by.

    @julius - you have great taste in radio! Not only was mid-90s ArtBell the MVP, Phil Hendrie, especially before one caught onto the shtick, was the most entertaining, funniest radio ever. He played every character, so they were all outrageous, but if you didn't know, you thought this guy got the greatest guests ever. Ted's of Beverly Hills? Bobbie Dooley? OMG!

    I also liked his sponsor for the Art Bell bits.

    I have a bunch of the Art Bell interviews with Michio Kaku if anyone wants them. Those were awesome! No crackhead stuff, just great science and Bell was smart enough to keep up. George Noory is just not the interviewer that Art was. It really shows on guests like Kaku.

    Art Bell was a spokesman for them. Used to talk about their emergency radios all the time.

    So I finally bought one, lol.

    https://ccrane.com/

    The one I got was like a combo of these two:

    https://ccrane.com/orphan-cc-skywav...-and-vhf-airband-small-portable-travel-radio/

    https://ccrane.com/orphan-cc-solar-observer-am-fm-weather-windup-emergency-radio/

    All the bands but it also has the wind up hand generator built in.

    If a disaster ever hits where I live I'll be able to radio in my forum posts via shortwave.
