John B. Unwell

Here’s some ‘inside baseball’ for those who listen to late night paranormal radio. Well.. radio that used to be paranormal.

Despite amazing bumper music and a voice for the midnight hour, Coast to Coast AM weekend host John B. Wells has been facing a growing amount of opposition to his hosting skills on the popular website BELLGAB.COM.. A few recent posts have indicated some outright anger about a show he aired on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and outrage over a Bible thumping lineup of guests on the Sunday night show…
For anyone who tried listening to the 12 hours of John Wells this weekend, kudos and hat tips. You have told us all of the shows details .. details we may not have known.
I did catch the some of the programs, especially the final few minutes from the Saturday and Sunday shows. Either Wells is doing it for some more attention, or there is tension behind the scenes, but he alluded that if he vanishes from the Coast roster, we can find him on Caravan to Midnight—a new online radio program he will be hosting in 2014.
On his Facebook page, he has told people that he is going to continue his weekend hosting duty on the ‘mothership’ that is Coast to Coast AM, and that his Caravan to Midnight radio show that fans will have to pay him to hear will air during the daytime—a strange schedule for a ‘midnight’ named show. Nonetheless, the latest few words of his demise that he himself hints at makes me wonder if someone is growing weary of the ultra political and almost zealot like religious momentum that he has built up since Ian Punnett left.
I think by mid-2014 he is not a weekend host, but instead replaced by Dave Schrader.. That may be going out on a limb, but it seems likely to occur—especially if Premiere Radio wants to try to continue having Coast be associated with paranormal instead of political. 
Maybe I will call the Coast to Coast AM New Years show and make my prediction official.

ICY MONDAYS ALWAYS GET ME DOWN

MONDAY DECEMBER 9 2013

Christmas should not be as scary a season as Halloween, but this year it is. The calender is beginning to haunt me. Every day I look at it, I realize how much closer we are to the magical day when gifts are open and turkeys and hams are eaten–and how unprepared for the pagan celebration I truly am. Hopefully that changes this week with a paycheck and some bargain outlets. And maybe a few nice stores in between.. Nothing too wild. After all, my son likes cardboard boxes better than the gifts they house at this point, anyway. Not sure if that same logic works for the rest of the family, though. It better be a really nice cardboard box..

Now onto the news. Cold and icy.

TIME MAGAZINE will name its person of the year this week. Without having any inside information, I predict it will be Edward Snowden. Could be wrong. They may pick Miley. (She’s on the short list)

British media reports a wonderful article about the United States, the struggle of rich vs poor, and how there are two Americas.. Do you agree with the GUARDIAN article? Did capitalism lose its sight of its social compact? Did greed run amuck? Are there two Americas? John Edwards sure thought so. But there were also two John Edwards..

How to spot if someone is dangerous: Body language..

XMAS: Santa was real ..Got into a debate with friends about what I should tell my son, Ayden, about Santa now that he is of sound mind to believe in Christmas tales. One camp said go for the gusto and get ‘all in’ with the Santa story. Another actually said don’t do it to him. My thought: Saint Nicholas was a real person, and here’s his bio..

The ‘ghost’ of the 1929 market crash reappears..

If you play WORLD OF WARCRAFT and other games, chances are you were joined by a spy gathering intelligence.. really. Hope you at least won..

Changes: A warning that winter storms will be deadly for the next 30 years..

A sinkhole swallows a car in Cali..


Remember a few weeks ago, we reported that there was a new island created as a result of a strong undersea volcanoes near Japan? Well now it has grown 3.7 times bigger..
