I've always heard of "coast to coast," but associated it mostly with the Adult Swim show "Space Ghost Coast to Coast." I was vaguely aware of Art Bell, but more familiar with major network productions like The X Files. I'm now convinced that radio, at least in the way that Art used it, can be a form of social media. I am finding it increasingly likely that our desire for social media created the internet, as opposed to the conventional explanation that social media "captured" the mind and forced us to become addicted to it, and without it, we would be hanging out at the bar or the mall. This is a very well-done episode and I look forward to more like it.

Dude I couldn’t agree more — this was one of the theses of this ep, that radio is social media in a way. You’re right on the money. And thank you!!
