Radio Gaga

"I tune into some friendly voices talking 'bout stupid things" -Kate Bush

I love Talk radio.
I really don't watch a lot of T.V. I turn it on and I sit in front of it, but after a few minutes I find myself wandering around my apartment looking for things to do. Radio Is different. I get so hooked. I guess its because it forces me to sit still and pay attention. When You only have audio, its easy to miss something.

I've been obsessed with Coast to Coast am for a couple years now. Matt Owchar turned me onto it. I guess his mom used to listen to it in bed at night. I like to do the same. You can catch it on CFUN 1410, and it goes from 10 pm to 5am. Its an all night radio program that discusses phenomena such as UFO's, ghost stories, time travel and conspiracy theories. The original host is Art Bell. His voice is so comforting. its like spending time with an old friend. I know that sounds cheesy, but im going to leave it at that. You'll see.

For the past two weeks i've been listening to another Program called This American Life. Tyler Fedchuck suggested it to Amy and i late one night, selling us on an episode in which they interview a guy who went to jail for kidnapping Frank Sinatra's son. That Episode is called "plan B" I also really like "telephone"
