I only started listening to Coast to Coast when Ian Punnett would stand in for Art Bell. Ian was a local DJ in the Twin Cities before he moved to Arizona a few years ago.

Ian and Mr. Nouri are just a couple of fellows who have taken Bell's stead. But I enjoy their work as hosts and interviewers, too. Of course much of the show's hocus pocus is hogwash in general, but when I am driving 14 hours to work -- many of which are through the nighttime hours -- it's good company.

SC It was Ian's show about DB Cooper that got my attention. Also it amazed me that Ian would barely sleep for several days. He would do Coast to Coast from the radio studio in his home, then after would drive to the local radio station to do a 4 hour morning show plus turn up to appear at local charity events in the evening. Sadly he had to quit radio due to tinnitus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
