I'm listening to the Art Bell farewell show that was what, New Year's Day 2004? Presuming it's in the last half hour (maybe the last 45 minutes) of the show, Art refers to a website that I think was started by Keith that discussed talk radio. I'm curious if that website still exists. It sounded like it might be a subscription service, no doubt that's a big failure.
This was not too much longer after somebody paid an AT&T service to play a pre-recorded message message when he answered the phone. The message included the person's name and phone number so he didn't play any of it, but I thought that was interesting.
