During that time off I would often
stay up late at night. I didn't have a schedule and I would sometimes
have insomnia. But, it was during that time that I discovered a late-night talk radio show called Coast to Coast AM.
I found this show by scanning AM radio
stations on my walkman style radio/cassette player. At the time the
show had its original host, Art Bell. This was also a time before
the internet became popular. It was a time that very few households
had the internet. But, if they did it was usually a simple dial-up
connection.
After listening to the show the first
night I decided to listen again, the next night. After the second
night, I continued to listen for many years. I still listen today.
Whenever possible, I will tune in and I will usually listen to the
whole show.

What can I expect to hear on Coast to
Coast AM?
Currently, Coast to Coast AM is hosted
by George Noory. On the show, you will hear a variety of interesting
topics. It's a show about the paranormal, conspiracy theories, and
other mysterious things.
I have heard about ufo's, bigfoot,
ghost, prophecies, near-death experiences, new years predictions,
paranormal related testimonials, current events, and a variety of
other topics.
My opinion of Coast to Coast AM
As I have mentioned, Coast to Coast AM
is a very interesting talk show. So far, I have liked the majority of
the things that I have heard. Sometimes when I am listening I feel
like I am hearing top-secret information. The things that I have
heard are probably not known by the average person. But, their are
also nights when I have no interest in the topic of the show.
I am also not a believer in every
single thing being discussed. But, I still find Coast to Coast AM
very interesting. To me, this show is a good form of entertainment. I
have also found that it can be informative at times.
Finding Coast to Coast AM
In the past, I have used typical
portable radios and walkman style radio/cassette players. Currently,
I listen through online radio stations. I have a few that I will
switch between.
When I am away from my PC I will
switch between apps on my smartphone. I will either use my iHeart
radio app or my Top Paranormal Radio app.

When I use my iHeart radio app I will listen to the show through an app of a local radio station. I will use my Top Paranormal Radio app when I want to listen to Coast to Coast AM or similar radio talk shows. Both apps can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store.

The show is available to listen to
only at night. It usually starts between 12 and 1 am and will usually
end at 4 am. It is available to listen every night of the week.
If you choose to use your PC to
listen to Coast to Coast AM, there are a few links to start out with.
I will usually use WTAW-AM 1620 or TuneIn.
If there are technical problems on any
of those websites, I will usually go to the Coast to Coast AM website
for a larger list of online radio stations.
Overall
If you like hearing about the
paranormal, Coast to Coast AM is one of the best sources of
information. You will hear about a variety of interesting paranormal topics, including current events that are (or could be) related to
the paranormal. I have been listening for years and I highly
recommend this show.
