When is he on? I always liked Ian. My favorite memory of him was when he called to Noory one night and he was loaded.

I thought he said that even though he has a new job he's still available for Coast. I hope so. He's become my favorite sub.

Uh-oh, 80% of those accused of witchcraft in Salem and Europe in the 17th Century were women.  And not just women, independent women.

Shocking, I know.  Not only that, Ian is making quite a few assumptions about these people based on his understanding of modern social norms.  This isn't very good, I'm not going to make it for another two hours.

Wow, really fascinating three hours on Salem witch hunt. Well worth hearing if you have Insider.

Turns out there have been a lot of books written in the past 20 years that have been sympathetic to the accusers at the expense of the victims. Vast right-wing effort to side with the religious over the female Wicca?

No, quite the opposite. The accusers were the socialist-farmer class, accusing independent-minded men and women who threatened the groupthink to the point that no one really cared if they were witches or not, they just threatened the social order.

Direct parallel to "Russian collusion" as a means by which to punish those who threaten Social Justice. (Interestingly, first guest from law enforcement made the same point about accusations against police.)

Guest stated that the leftward trend in academia has caused authors to side with the accusers because they were socialists, completely setting aside their religious purge against (mostly) women. Fascinating way the Left now views the Salem witch hunt, and why it's not inconsistent to see them, not the religious anti-witch Right, as the descendants of yesterday's witch hunters.

I like that Coast tends to the Right, and Ian plays along despite his occasional discomfort.

I also liked Ian on Friday and preferred his take on "Google poisoning" to Lauren Weinstein's.

Weinstein basically thinks the good of the whole outweighs the injustice against the "few," in this case those whose lives are ruined or impacted by trollish search results that Google puts at the top of results. He feels like even if one person is saved by knowing they, say, have a predator next door, it's worth the misery that trolling in search results causes the innocent.

Ian had to pay $5,000 to clean up his search results, and obviously has a different point of view, as do I. Weinstein seems to think we should live and die by Google's "complex" algorithms, but I strongly disagree and have largely gone off the grid because of it. They can't even change a freaking business address after years of direct contact, and I'll be damned if I pay them or some third party to overcome the stupid, the incompetent, and the trollish.

It sounds like a good show; I'm sorry I missed it.  Thank you for the excellent summary.  Interesting how class-based analysis, which owes a lot to Marx, has become commonplace across the political spectrum.

How often have I seen at work when a group decides one person, usually a socially awkward fit or of a skeptical cast, is the source of all problems and rallies around a purge effort, documenting their misdeeds, convinced the load will be lighter without them.  There is a kind of energy that comes from such Lord-of-the-Flies scape-goating, and it's telling we don't have a proper word for it and I have to use so many hyphens.

I am sure there is some horrible neologism among social scientists but our ancestors knew all about it with their witch-hunts.  There are clear parallels among other pack species competing for scarce resources, including primates.

Did some research after writing the above; the book is "Switching Sides" by Tony Fels, published by Johns Hopkins last November. A few available for $29.95 on Amazon; Kindle is almost as much. Unfortunately it's not really a new book, and I credit Ian for giving it a "bump." Little-noticed on Twitter.

I think it's stunning that a historian is basically putting Trump in the role of the witches, the Left in the role of the Puritans, and "Russian collusion" in the role of "witchcraft." He makes a remarkable case, based on the scholarly writing of the past 40 years, that the SJW Left's purges are very much history repeating itself...though he didn't go so far as to say it directly, and Ian was quick with the "both sides do it" rejoinders.

You think he's going to paint the Puritans as the Religious Right not baking cakes for Wicca feminists, but he turns that completely on its head.

 A bit surprised that Ian wasn't aware of the link, at least according to no less than Max Weber, between the Reformation and that Christianity (especially Calvinist) and Capitalism. It is a foundational work in sociology and someone in religious studies would also be aware of it.

Perhaps, but couldn't it have been just what it looked like - a bunch of religious zealots living in and trying to make sense of a still superstitious world?  That the accused were mostly women and the accusers were traditional within the community hardly proves anything - most witches were thought to be women, and independent women would be viewed as more suspicious.

These early extremely devout protestants were not more fanatical than the people they'd left behind in Europe, it was just that they had a different religion and had been persecuted themselves by the Anglicans in England and the Catholics in much of the rest of Europe.  Science was still new and evolving, and these sorts of non-scientific answers were used to explain the otherwise unexplainable by most commoners.  Heck, they are still accusing people of witchcraft and killing them today in various places in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Maybe politics did play into what happened in Salem more than we've been told.  Regardless, why did it take two hours to finally get to the premise?  I realize Ian has four hours to fill, but the case could have been made in a segment or two and it was tedious with him teasing each segment by telling us we may end up siding with the accusers, but taking two hours to get to that point. 

In any event, did anyone end up sympathizing with the accusers over the accused?  Or did Ian just like the idea that they were much like the Democrats of today, twisting everything Trump says or does into something sinister and evil?  I don't really have any sympathy for any of that, and don't quite understand what Ian thought would be appealing about it.

I may be a heretic here, but I don't like "Deacon" Punnett at all. He seems like a self-righteous little prig, always having to remind you how Christian he is. As a former cleric I am familiar with such types and they can be insufferable.

"Prig: A self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if superior to others." I think it fits. Reminds me of Dana Carvey's "Church Lady."

It's true that he's incredibly self righteous, and always reminding us he's a Christian, a deacon, a minister.  To me though he distances himself as much as possible from actual Christian faith. 

He likes research into the history and theology, he supports doing good works in the community to help others, and he no doubt loves hearing himself preach from the pulpit, but he sure doesn't want anyone to confuse him with the Christians that actually believe in the religion part.

In his defense he has mentioned this for months. Nothing odd, really, many people move, more should and economy would be better. (Californians though stop moving here.) But in academia moving is normal, especially for a 'constant' degree seeker like Ian seems to be. That, is another question, folks there who go school to school, stay in school, until they can find tenure. But moving for work to make more or expand business? That is good, generally speaking.

I had a real problem with the guy who called and said we shouldn't talk about Hitler.  He is advocating ignorance.  Doing so would only ensure the repetition of mass tragedies such as the Holocaust.  The caller was a stupid fool.

Double dose of Punnett:

Science Out-of-Bounds/ Open Lines

Friday - October 26, 2018

Hosted by Ian Punnett

Guest: Michael Guillen

Michael Guillen, award-winning physics instructor at Harvard University, joins Ian Punnett to discuss how the scientific community is pushing the boundaries of morality, including scientists who detached the head of a Russian man from his crippled body to stitch it onto a healthy new donated one, and fertility experiments aimed at allowing designer babies to be conceived with the DNA from three or more biological parents. Followed by Open Lines.

Cracking a Serial Killer Mystery

Saturday - October 27, 2018


Hosted by Ian Punnett

Guest(s): Bill James, J. W. Ocker

Using sleuthing techniques, statistician Bill James has applied his analytical expertise to crack an unsolved century-old mystery surrounding one of the deadliest serial killers in American history. He joins Ian Punnett to discuss how between 1898 and 1912, families across the country were murdered - all having lived within walking distance to a train station. First-hour guest J.W. Ocker talks about how Salem, MA may be the Capital of Creepy in America.

Ian's show about "urban farming," but got into other general farming and animal husbandry topics, was actually pretty interesting and also some good callers. Though I'm a bit suspect about some small farm in SF making more money than a similar acreage in Iowa, unless they were selling weed or some really specialized herbs for dotcom yuppies-- orif they just sold their land to a real estate developer.

There have been recent reports that the Ark of the Covenant is inside a church in Aksum, Ethiopia, called the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, and that only the "guardian" of the ark is allowed to see it. However, Ark historian, Dr. Tudor Parfitt, believes otherwise. He joins Ian Punnett to discuss the latest in Ark lore and knowledge of what the Ark in question really is.

He shouldn't have said he was lazy when he pronounced the first guest's name.  Because that sounds a little insulting to the guest.  And laziness had nothing to do with it, likely.  Why not just ask the guest for name pronunciation or apologize for mangling the name.  There is no need to bring the topic of lazy disregard into the conversation, especially when no laziness likely occurred.

If the Noory sad pack of regulars are PremRad paid callers, you’d think he could speak up and tell Jorch/ PremRat he doesn’t need them when he’s hosting. If he’s afraid to say anything for fear of pissing off Noory/ PremRat and losing his gig, I don’t feel too sorry for him for being a gutless wonder. If they’re not paid, he should just tell the idiot call screener he doesn’t want to hear from them.

I think the guest sucked.  Especially with his use of "like" and " it's like" over and over again.  His vocal fry was annoying as well.  I blame Mike the Millennial for making me focus on these things.  MTM with his "um" and "you know" the other night drove me up a wall.

Plus the guest was just boring.  He's cool though.

Ian is obviously a big lib elitist, especially since he’s now a KSU prof, but he’s light years better than Noory.  I wonder why he never took over C2C completely and blew Noory away.  I can’t imagine KSU profs make over $500K per year, even with benefits.

It would be a completely different show if Ian were its permanent host, none of the woo peddling charlatan ladies or nutritional snake oil salesmen would get on. Ian has an interest in the paranormal but not enough to continue Coast as a paranormal talk show.

Its not just can the regular callers like Cornelius getting on so often - its that the screener probably gives them priority, that was not discussed between that one caller and Ian last night.

It was interesting hear Ian spend a long time last night with one of Noory's regular callers - Walt the ultra-skeptic guy.
Ian at first teased him by asking Walt how many times has he already called in this week :)
Then Walt went on and on and then Ian hung him with his own words where Walt had demonstrated what he was complaining of others - making all sorts of assumptions without any evidence. In fact Ian told him some of his claims were known to be false or misinformation!

There was caller last night who told Ian he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and doesn't have much time left.  All he wants to do right now is find a home for his cats before he dies, and didn't want to go through what his father did when he became terminal.  Then he struggled to ask Ian a question.  He said to Ian after several pauses, that he wanted to ask him a question because Ian had a degree in Divinity.  You could hear the man becoming emotional.  Ian said firmly "How can I help?"  "Just tell me."  The caller said "I'm scared" and went on further.

A few moments later Ian told him he'd like to talk to him privately and for him to give Tommy his number and that Tommy would text it to him.  Ian said he would then call.  I must admit that it got to me a little bit.  I wonder if Ian will ever mention talking to the guy.

He could just tell the producer not to put them through.

I was under the impression that he did put out a directive or something. Although I do remember a story about where somebody got through and he cut him short. Wasn't that Cleophus or whoever recently set up a GoFundMe for himself?

There was caller last night who told Ian he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and doesn't have much time left.  All he wants to do right now is find a home for his cats before he dies, and didn't want to go through what his father did when he became terminal.  Then he struggled to ask Ian a question.  He said to Ian after several pauses, that he wanted to ask him a question because Ian had a degree in Divinity.  You could hear the man becoming emotional.  Ian said firmly "How can I help?"  "Just tell me."  The caller said "I'm scared" and went on further.

A few moments later Ian told him he'd like to talk to him privately and for him to give Tommy his number and that Tommy would text it to him.  Ian said he would then call.  I must admit that it got to me a little bit.  I wonder if Ian will ever mention talking to the guy.

I wonder how Noory would've reacted.

That was the same caller Ian has talked to and helped privately in the past too.

Last night's interview with actor Peter Coyote was interesting.  I had no idea he was a Buddhist priest.  Dude did a lot of drugs in the past. Heroin addict, psychedelics, etc.  I never knew anything of his history.  I just recognized him as an actor.  He was forthcoming with his history and Ian was great with the interview.  The callers were good, except for Mike The Millennial calling in.  It surprised me that Ian let him through.  MTM was actually tolerable.  I still want to throw him off a bridge.  ;D

I was thinking about how that interview would go if Noory handled it.  We know it would be awful.  He would probably ask Peter Coyote if he liked coyotes. Haw haw haw.

Ha!  It would have been something idiotic with Jorch.  Jorch wondering what his relationship was with coyotes, was his father possibly a were-coyote, did Peter believe in werewolves, Jorch pointing out he never had a pet coyote but he used to have a make believe dog in St. Louis. 

Tip to Mr. Coyote.  If Noory ever invites you on, make last minute travel plans for Boston.

I might check out Coyote's new book about using masks to alter (altar) perception.

Makes me think of a self-exorcism technique.  Also makes me think of  the opposite:  becoming a god, say, as in an ancient Egyptian wearing an animal mask to invoke entity of transformation.

Boom! You're Anubis.

 For whatever reason, I just pictured you on an old episode of COPS. They have you handcuffed, walking you calmly to the cruiser while you are still in Thoth mask mode.  They were unsuccessful at removing the mask.

With all the photo recognition equipment out there, a more realistic mask might be worth it. Something else that might help do is discourage potential carjackers. If they glance over and see four faces in the car, that might be a quick deterrent.

Plus, it’s always fun explaining to friends and family why you have masks strapped to all your non-driver seats.  Just be sure to mumble “just don’t make me show you what’s in the back” at the end.

That was a caller in Los Angeles area telling about seeing lots of similar planes landing at LAX with mostly men (he said possibly Chinese) all wearing the same full PPE including face shields.

I enjoyed last night's show about Stan Lee, but I thought Ian and the guest were both very naive.  The "boss" always gets  credit for the efforts of the underlings.  In my career I wrote a number of reports and papers that went out under a superior's name, including at least two credited to GOs. And Ian must know grad students do a large share of the work for academic papers that are published under a PhD's name. I also dislike having the character attacked of someone who's not around to defend himself.

Stormy Daniels?  The name didn't click when I saw the guest list.  I figured it wasn't the same person involved in the Trump controversy.

C2C Bio:

Stormy Daniels, already well known as an adult film star, director, author, and standup comedian has always had one foot in the paranormal. Although she has had unexplainable experiences dating back to her childhood, it wasn't until she moved into a very haunted house in New Orleans in early 2019 that things really took off. These personal experiences and the devastating effect they had on her and her loved ones, inspired her to embark on a new adventure to discover the truth.

In early 2020, she had an intense experience at a location that resulted in the floodgates of the supernatural being opened and unlocking skills that she didn't even know she had. With each investigation and passing day, Stormy's gifts of mediumship and healing become stronger and are constantly being validated by both recorded evidence and some of the most respected individuals in the paranormal field.


Standup comedian?  Medium?  :o  I'm intrigued and will give this a listen.

Of course I would insist on a preemptive "most college professors are good people" disclaimer before hearing detailed accounts of the illegal/immoral acts of professors. We got to be fair, right?

Ian is such a punk.  He seems determined to ensure that every listener finally agrees he's an ass.

These preening pretend social justice warriors should ask to be put on a list somewhere - if they're for defunding the police, no police response when they call up, if they think the police, fire, doctors and nurses must be vaccinated or fired, they go on a different no service list.

Otherwise shut the fuck up.

He's also a coward.  Someone calling in says the wrong thing, Ian hangs up on them then tears them apart.  Then whines about how all he wanted was to have a conversation.  At least that was his MO a decade ago, I haven't listened for years.

I wonder why Ian didn't ask Kevin Randle about his former co-author Don Schmitt, a scam artist who falsified academic and employment records to give their books credibility? The guy claimed he was a scientist with a Masters, but was exposed as a mailmen.  Ian should have asked Randle if he knew Schmitt was a phony, and if not, why not?

Also disappointed Dr Ian didn't ask Randle about his diploma mill PhD.

Wow, had no idea there was so much disdain for Punnett. I liked his shows with the Mojave Mysteries dude.

This “classic show” just popped up on the insiders app, got all excited. Was basically about the academic definition of the word “monster”. Nothing about actual monsters. A big turd.

I used to like Ian a lot.  He had a few quirks that he mostly kept the lid on, that seemed more like radio show schtick - not letting others talk, always having to be right, no one else's jokes were ever funny, pompous, an all-around know-it-all, no one else was supposed to point out something about the subject he hadn't thought of...

After having that big blow up with that obnoxious guest, he was apparently made to apologize profusely the next two nights and was never the same.  The annoying quirks became much more pronounced and irritating, I quit listening.

I’ll listen to Punnett.  He can be an egotistical, elitist ass, especially since he’s now a full-on academic, but I can live with it.  At least he’s not a plodding, moronic buffoon just going through the motions.

Battlefield ghost guy was a hoot.  He touted himself as a historian who seriously espoused interviewing ghosts lingering around historically relevant locations to get first hand accounts of historical events.  He was dead serious (no pun intended) about setting history straight by interviewing dead people.

As I heard him relate this position, I immediately thought about him going to a conference of professional historians. Can you see him giving a presentation on how some widely accepted story relative to a specific event was wrong based on in depth interviews with those who died in the event?  He'd be taken about as seriously as David Palidies was when he gave his pitch as a national search and rescue symposium.

Yes, and he's done that with her before.  At least a year ago, in the middle of one of her spiels, she told Ian "B.C." stood for "Before Cleopatra."  I thought he was going to blow a gasket.  He ripped her a new one.

I was very happy a couple years ago when Ian totally destroyed the frequently caller, "Joseph from Monterey."  He's the weaselly sounding guy who has a hand or three in just about any of the stuff pitched by various guests. He's in communication with some galactic federation, is an exorcist and a shaman, etc. He was talking his normal woo word salad and casually mentioned something about his spirit guides and Ian went off him.

A caller named Linda told Ian that she didn't like how he turned C2C into a music show.  Ian handled it by telling her he did find her lying to the call screener 'attractive', told her that his Friday's are Pop Culture and you can't groom a show to suit everyone.  The best part was when he told her he didn't care. (referencing her opinion)

I also found it refreshing that before open lines he made it clear that he wanted to hear new voices and not the ones that get in regularly.  I love they way he's been handling the regular callers.  It's clear he is weary of dealing with the entitled sad pack.  It was nice not to hear the likes of Cornelius, et al.

One of IHeart's predecessors, maybe Clear Channel or Jacor, had a corporate policy on how often callers could call individual shows and/or win prizes.  WLW used to play a spot at least a couple times a day spelling out those rules. I heard it every weekday during evening drive time on the way home from work.

Ian's reaction to the open lines caller who thanked him for shutting down the regulars ("it's not personal, not them vs us, it's meant to give infrequent callers an opportunity") leads me to believe George set constraints on the rent-a-hosts' efforts to curtail them.  He certainly does not want to run them off, considering there are nights without the regulars he'd be doing either a monologue or risk running out of 3×5 card questions.

Once again Ian started off last night's show by "giving the regular callers the night off."  He then proceeded to take calls from some of the worst and/or stupidest callers of all time.

There was the guy who told Ian an article in one of the sleazy UK tabloids proved time travel.  He was followed by a woman who tried to explain how the name "Yahweh" was misinterpreted based on her interpretations as a four year old. Then there was a guy who sounded like Boomhauer from "King of the Hill."  The best of the lot was the guy who, to prove the "Mandela effect," said he remembered hearing Charles Nelson Reilly had died, then discovered he was alive.
This led to Ian asking incredulously, "Wait, you're using Charles Nelson Reilly to prove the Mandela effect?"

About that point I'd have welcomed Corny or Louise.

Ian's first guest last night was some character from MUFON, typical MUFON guy who spoke alot but said nothing of consequence. What was astounding to me was their response to their first caller, a guy who lives and skywatches from his no light pollution home in the desert (Arizona?).  He described how when he looks into the night sky, she sees large numbers of tiny red lights wherever he looks.  He described it as looking like an "energy field," and said his brother does not see it.  What does MUFON guy say?  He tells him it sounds interesting and suggested he get others out to witness it.

Ok, MUFON people are idiots, but I can't believe Ian didn't tell the caller to see his family doctor, if not an ophthalmologist.

I was driving around last night and had Ian on. I didn't know about that Clouds song and Sobisek.

After I returned home, I decided that I was going to give my phone a much-needed night off. Running at 24/7 for a few days in a row is never good for the battery and having it off also allows a good update check and reset for any cluttered RAM issues.

Then I heard a reference to Dave Schrader. That's a blast from the past!

I actually had Ian on while going to sleep. Don't know what was being said, the guy referenced how radar was picking up the Chinese spy balloon, but it would have ignored the other ones due to their size.

Last might I got to listen to Ian's interview from a couple weeks ago with the guy claiming to be Sitting Bull's great grandson.  Throughout the interview, the guest kept referring to his spirit guides and how they helped lead him out of a downward spiral after his experiences in SEA.  All the while Ian respectfully acknowledged, and seemed to accept the existence of, these guides.  He even at one point asked the guest to convey a message to his spirit guides for their wisdom in helping to prepare him to appear on C2C.

Mind you, this is the same host who relentlessly humiliated frequent woo pitching caller Joseph from Monterey one evening when he attempted to discuss his spirit guides. Ian all but told the Joseph if he believed he was the hearing voices of spirit guides, he might ought to consider medical help. He has similarly attacked other guests/callers and their dissertations of woo.

No, I didn't expect Ian to rip the old Indian a new asshole as he related his woo woo musings, but I'm disappointed he did not try to "unpack" (one of Ian's favorite expressions) the tales he was relating.  He basically gave the old gentleman a pass.

That seems to be a theme as of late.  Don Shipley did the same with some 80+ year old guy that had been pretending to be a SEAL. A real SEAL with almost the same name had died, so this joker started pretending to be him.  Not good but the faker made an honest apology and confessed to those he mislead.  Shipley felt that was enough. I guess the difference is that the old SEAL faker fessed up.

Par for the course with Ian.  His shows cover a wide range of topics, including some rather obscure ones.
I equate his shows to NPR after midnight.  As long as it's not paranormal, he'll do a show on it.

That was Mary in New Jersey.
Ian said she and he have been thru some disagreement before, something about the end of time and what Jesus and the angels knew about it. 
So he said its Friday night and he's not in the mood for theological debates especially so late in the show, so he moved on to the next caller.

Ian is making the play to take over the show. Richard Syrett had what was originally reported as a family emergency and Ian has one of Richard's guests on. Ian is treating this guest as if it's one of his own. He's engaged, anecdotal, thoughtful. Pretty much everything that sNoory is not.

Listened to this show this evening, pretty amusing.   We know Wilbur Allen is a fraud from previous C2C shows, but I think he afoul of an angry wife.  At one point, Wilbur just sort of disappeared, but we could hear muffled voices in the background.  He came back to Ian apologizing for having been disturbed while on the air.  Ian tried to blow it off, but Wilbur then made a comment about some people not caring when others were on the phone.  Soon after that, he got disconnected.

Ian's guest last night started off talking about 4-5 events he projected in the late 90s for the first 20-25 years of the 2000s. Assuming he really made those predictions, he did very well calling for a pandemic, financial problems, a major terror attack in NYC, Russia invading a former client state, etc.  He then pointed out a final event he says hasn't happened yet, states refusing to comply with and enforce federal statutes.  Odd he doesn't seem aware of sanctuary cities, marijuana laws, gun control laws, etc.

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/ian-punnett-march-3-1960-december-21-2023/

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Ian Punnett passed away from a brief illness yesterday. His keen intellect and delightful sense of humor will be deeply missed. Since 2000, Ian has, in various incarnations, been a valued host of Coast to Coast AM, including regular weekend hosting duties, his own spin-off show Coast to Coast LIVE with Ian Punnett, a podcast entitled Vaudeville for the Frightened, and most recently twice a month hosting duties.

I’ve had the privilege of producing for Ian these past 24 years, and I will miss our friendship and the professional collaboration. Every conversation behind the scenes was as lively and entertaining and everything we strive for on the air. Ian was great radio personified.

Ian co-hosted rock morning radio shows on WXLP in the Quad Cities on then-rock music station WKDF in Nashville, Tennessee in the early-to-mid-1990s, was also morning man on WMJY in Long Branch, New Jersey. He moved to talk radio at WGN in Chicago in 1994 and then Atlanta, Georgia in 1997 to host a nightly talk show. In Minneapolis-St. Paul, Punnett hosted the morning show (6-10 am) on KTMY-FM. It was known as Ian & Margery, and was co-hosted by his wife, Margery.

While working full-time in radio, Ian completed a Master of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta. In 2017, he completed his PhD at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, part of Arizona State University. In 2018 he joined the faculty of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Kansas State University as a professor of practice and chief operator of the award-winning KSDB-FM. He co-edited and wrote Moving Sounds: A Cultural History of Car Radio (2019) from Peter Lang Publishing and two chapters for Praeger’s Religion and Technology Series: How Religions are Embracing Virtual Media, Social Networks, and Mobile Devices (Vol. II) (2019). He was the author of several books, including How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God from Random House, Toward A Theory of True Crime (2018) from Routledge, and the trade book, A Black Night for the Bluegrass Belle (2017), as well as two children’s books written to raise money for canine charities, Dizzy the Mutt with the Propeller Butt and Jackula the Vampire Dog.

He is survived by his wife, Margery Punnett, and two sons.

I am so saddened to hear this, even though visually he never looked like a picture of health I never heard of any health issues except the tinnitus and that weird moment over a decade ago when he was cutting a promo with Noory about the weekend show and he started talking gibberish. But I will miss him, I loved how he dealt with the regulars lol.

Noory is having a hard time reading the news about Ian Punnett's passing at the start of the show tonight.
He mentioned in a few weeks they will have a tribute for Ian on the show - probably a half hour replay of part of an interview with him or something at the end of a Friday night show?

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Ian Punnett passed away from a brief illness yesterday. His keen intellect and delightful sense of humor will be deeply missed. Since 2000, Ian has, in various incarnations, been a valued host of Coast to Coast AM, including regular weekend hosting duties, his own spin-off show Coast to Coast LIVE with Ian Punnett, a podcast entitled Vaudeville for the Frightened, and most recently twice a month hosting duties.

I’ve had the privilege of producing for Ian these past 24 years, and I will miss our friendship and the professional collaboration. Every conversation behind the scenes was as lively and entertaining and everything we strive for on the air. Ian was great radio personified.

Ian co-hosted rock morning radio shows on WXLP in the Quad Cities on then-rock music station WKDF in Nashville, Tennessee in the early-to-mid-1990s, was also morning man on WMJY in Long Branch, New Jersey. He moved to talk radio at WGN in Chicago in 1994 and then Atlanta, Georgia in 1997 to host a nightly talk show. In Minneapolis-St. Paul, Punnett hosted the morning show (6-10 am) on KTMY-FM. It was known as Ian & Margery, and was co-hosted by his wife, Margery.

While working full-time in radio, Ian completed a Master of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta. In 2017, he completed his PhD at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, part of Arizona State University. In 2018 he joined the faculty of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Kansas State University as a professor of practice and chief operator of the award-winning KSDB-FM. He co-edited and wrote Moving Sounds: A Cultural History of Car Radio (2019) from Peter Lang Publishing and two chapters for Praeger’s Religion and Technology Series: How Religions are Embracing Virtual Media, Social Networks, and Mobile Devices (Vol. II) (2019). He was the author of several books, including How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God from Random House, Toward A Theory of True Crime (2018) from Routledge, and the trade book, A Black Night for the Bluegrass Belle (2017), as well as two children’s books written to raise money for canine charities, Dizzy the Mutt with the Propeller Butt and Jackula the Vampire Dog.

He is survived by his wife, Margery Punnett, and two sons.

'Write me an obituary for a colleague I barely knew. Try and make it sound like we were friends while also making it clear I don't actually give a shit. Although I've been working this dead-end gig for well over two decades I actually know nothing about Punnett, so fill the rest out with stuff from Wikipedia.'

Ian Punnett, 63, chief operator and faculty advisor for Wildcat 91.9 and professor at Kansas State, died Thursday after battling a genetic non-alcohol-related liver disorder.

Punnett joined K-State in 2018, leading Wildcat 91.9 to win Best College/University Radio Station and the Abraham and Borst Award for Best Overall Station by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System. Punnett himself entered the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame as he was honored with their Distinguished Service Award in October.

“He was such a champion of the underdog and the underserved,” Andrew Smith, professor and news director for the A.Q. Miller School of Media and Communication, said. “He came up with the slogan ‘you belong’ for Wildcat 91.9, which really was inspiring and really gave a lot of sense of meaning and belonging to a lot of people that maybe didn’t feel it.”

Smith said Punnett was a guiding light for students at K-State and was his best friend who changed his life.

“[He] was one of those rare professors who could straddle the line of professional and academic,” Smith said. “A lot of students, they feel he was their advocate, their best friend, in an academic sense. And it’s important for people, for students and those who are learning and starting out to feel like they have an advocate.”

Punnett’s radio success started before K-State as his voice has reached airwaves since 1990. He worked as an on-air talent for multiple stations across the country, including a 24-year hosting stint at Coast to Coast AM since 1999.

Steven Smethers, retired director of the A.Q. Miller School, said he was on the search committee who hired Punnett and found he stood out among the faculty advisor candidates, coming in “as kind of a celebrity” because of his broadcast background.

“Ian got the job, and immediately started making some changes that were designed to propel KSDB-FM to be what it became — [the] best student radio station in the country,” Smethers said. “All of that was by his initiative — by his drive — and he figured out a way to do it on a budget that was extremely tight.”

Smethers said people will miss Punnett’s “good soul.”

“Ian was always, always somebody you could count on,” Smethers said. “I trust him with my life. And that’s the kind of relationship I think he had with everybody.”

David Levy, professor and director of CMG, said higher education and the broadcast industry lost one of the good ones.

“If you wanted to know ‘who was Ian Punnett,’ all you had to do was listen to him talk about his students and watch the tears roll down his cheek,” Levy said in an email statement. “He possessed a passion for his work and genuine love for his students.”

In one of his final lectures at K-State, Punnett spoke on “tamim” and “integer,” and that he was always about “one thing.” In growing up, it was not drinking or doing drugs.

When doctors questioned him on if he would make a good candidate for the transplant list, he told them about his history, and he believed it’s why he would get on the list — which he eventually did one day before his death. He told the class his focus on this “one thing” would probably save his life.

Although Punnett’s life was cut short on Thursday, his work and legacy lives on in those he impacted.

Dawson Wagner, graduate teaching assistant at K-State and assistant chief operator at Wildcat 91.9, said words can’t describe Punnett as a person but his character can be found through the students, professors and people impacted by his leadership and mentorship.

“It’s not easy considering the amount of impact and influence and mentorship and leadership that he exhibited in his time as chief operating officer, professor, just a friend,” Wagner said. “It’s surreal.”

That must have been when he quit for a few years after getting severe tinninitus.
Eventually he was able to handle it better enough to guest host 1-2 nights a month and so he came back from the "farewell" - just like Art had multiple "quittenings"

Somebody wanted to make clear this was not an alcohol related issue, and footstomped it right up front.

Kate Minucci and Andy Kaufman both had genetic lung cancers. Being that they were both comedians, there's a chance that secondhand smoke might have played a role in Andy Kaufman's cancer. Minucci might have had a little exposure, depending on her age.

In the back of my mind, those types of cancers that are usually punishment for bad behavior are big turds thrown by god, karma or whatever you want to call it.

I'm just presuming that he had enough time to tell his loved ones how much he loved them. You never know with surprise disease (which sounds like it might not have been such a big surprise because of his fatty liver treatment in the past), he might have gone into a coma or something... I'm just guessing that sepsis might have kicked in or it caused a stroke.

Mostly agree. I mean it was him and George Knapp and, frankly, George Knapp gets hairs up his ass all the time. I do like Richard Syrett and I think he had the edge to take over Coast over Ian.

Ultimately though, Ian was genuinely first generation Coast to Coast connected.

Not to mention Ian was one of the first c2cam weekend hosts, pre-dating Noory!
Plus when Art Bell returned from one of his quittenings and took over the weekend hosting - Ian was given his own early Saturday night show called "C2C Live" until Art quit again.
