Let me start off by saying that I am a relatively new listener. I've been listening for 2 years, since George took over. I have researched this show and have a streamlink account because I dig the show. But since I've been podcasting, I've been noticing something that I was missing when I would only listen in my half sleep/awake state. That revelation is that yes, indeed, George Noory stinks.
I think he's simply putting on an act. A bit Ali G if you ask me. That is, he acts ridiculous and silly to make the guests and callers feel comfortable enough to do the same. Most of them are smart however, and do not.
I noticed that recently, he had a guest on about the risk of overpopulation in America. As he was going to break, George goes, "Imagine what it would be like if there were a hundred more people in American in the next 20 years." Maybe he's not getting enough rest? This is an important show and George should be more careful and at LEAST correct himself.
It's getting aggravating because I want people to take the show and the topics seriously. George is making that tough.
I think his new pet research project, the one about Aspartame being legalized, is something to look forward to. It's sure to be full of the usual George Comedy.
