Radio and Podcasts / Re: Coast to Coast AM with George Noory
« Last post by JUAN on May 22, 2024, 09:14:06 AM »Someone in the old country had a sNoory soundboard and used it with those Indian scam callers who were so prevalent. Was it Eddie Dean? It was a hoot.
I remember listening to Phil Rizzuto on a NY station interviewing some sports figure. Must have been in the 60s. Anyway, Rizzuto would ask a question and the guest would give an answer that had nothing to do with question. I soon realized the guests answers were one question ahead of the question. Clearly the guest had been recorded and playback was messed up.
If Coast were to do this, it would cost more to have someone edit in the questions, so they probably wouldn't do it. The soundboard though - they could fire sNoory and pay Tommee $100 more a month to operate the soundboard.

That would be like a delayed response or semi-taped interview. Who knows what methods they use in radio these days with what you have to work with.
Did I not mention soundboard before? That's a system that a lot of people use for sound effects. You press a button and it plays back a clip.
I was listening to an April 5, 1996 episode where Art Bell was talking about going worldwide after establishing the international AT&T line. George, on the other hand hope that he's got coverage in Salt Lake City.
Also amazing is the quality of callers. I shouldn't be surprised, it's not a new thought, but the people on the phone are just so far superior back then. I guess there are more outlets for intelligent people to communicate and at time more convenient for them.
