I would say that I listened to the old shows with awe. Not just the ones selected by Premier Network for Somewhere in Time... A lot of the old shows are quite contemporary. The Ed Dames stuff is more a "nose rub" in the shit he left laying around. It was good theater of the mind though and I look at it with that perspective nowadays.
Art was such a perfect ringmaster in the circus of the airwaves. I'm sure Ramona, who's (RIP Ramona) truly the reason Art was as successful as he was, really knew how to balance the bookings. That is an art that has been lost on all of these podcasts. The same people, over and over and over.
Most of those old, regular characters put onto a show today, it's tough.
I think the interweb has pretty much killed the joy of discovery.

Animal mutilations.
in general or the LMH reports?
Good Lord I hated her Dreamland appearences. Fucking unlistenable and the reason I stay away from my Dreamland collection. And what was with all the fucking BEEPs during her reports? Art hated when a guest had mild hum on his line that we couldn't even fucking hear BTW but he seemed to pretend that her BEEEEEEEP reports were "just spiffy!"
