@Kidnostad did Art Bell thank his callers?
@FISH from my memory the closest Art ever came to thanking his callers was if someone called in and said something like: “Hello Art. Thanks for taking my call. My name is Guido. I am in Chicago and I listen on WLS 890 am. I have a question for your guest and I will take my answer off the air.” Then Art may say “That’s how it’s done.”
I still listen to the old shows and have no real reason why. It’s a lot of Art bitching about someone using a cell phone, not turning down their listening device or hitting the dump button to erase the caller’s last name. Followed by a stern chastisement about not allowing last names on the air.
