I actually stopped listening to Art Bell first. He was doing something like one show a month, and it was always what must have been his pet interests at the time - consciousness, new agey crap, really bad topics, the final straw was a guest named Starfire Tor, or some such. That was it for me.
Soon after I finally stopped listening to George Nap for good, although I rarely listened to any of that anyway. Dry, boring, much too gullible.
Then Ian, he just became too much of a jerk.
And finally George Noory. Although by this time I was already listening to fewer and fewer shows, and the shows I did listen to I had long since stopped listening to open lines and his other nonsense. I can't believe Noory was the last one. It wasn't a conscious effort, at some point I realized I hadn't even looked at the schedule for months, let alone turned the radio on. I really couldn't even say when the last time I listened was, or who the guest was.
I did listen to a few MitD shows when Art came back. Wasn't the same, and quit listening live after just a handful. I meant to go back and listen to them, but never did.
