A lot of the time he is shouty mumbo jumbo, but I appreciate he takes the time to understand the subject. Occasionally he pulls an amazing show out of his hat. His Sunspot show was fabulous apart from the unfortunate Hoagland comments (which he should have dealt with on the spot imo).
That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the mumbo jumbo .. you have to have a high tolerance for woo to listen to this genre...
LOL, I get you.
Over the past few weeks I've been listening to most of his shows, and they all had a sense of believability to them. Toward the end of last week, I began feeling a sense of skepticism with some of the things he was saying, but only subconsciously.
I think it was on the Response Events show that a caller phoned in and began berating him about being a closet Mormon - which was lame - that threw me off my state of suspended disbelief, and got me listening with a more pragmatic ear. I was sad, because it kind've took the magic away for a bit.
Following this, I came across the Darker Shadows show, and Clyde was doing what I felt was a decent job of setting the table, which fell to the wayside when he introduced his guest Nick Redfern and had gotten a key detail incorrect. The interview started off on the wrong foot, and it ruined it for me again.
I like Clyde's monologuing best, because you can sort of buy it ... and I feel guests and callers, although a good addition at times, can take the show in unexpected detours that undermine the element of enchantment he delivers.
