June 4, 1950

George Noory ,the successful host of Art Bell's old radio show, Coast to CoastAM, was born on June 4, 1950. The show Art Bell (born June 17, 1945) created and hosted for many years runs in the middle of the night (on the East coast) and features discussions of fringe topics, like the paranormal, with a range between people who have gaps in their speech not from shyness but because they have momentarily run out of lies that would get them attention, and leading astrophysicists, like Sean Carroll. Art had an interesting voice that somehow suggested a moderate skepticism along with healthy curiosity. Apparently he and the new host don't get along, though why that is, no one is saying. Noory has an invariable kindness in dealing with callers to the show, which requires an uncommon patience. Noory though does not have the interesting cat stories Art shared.
