If you enjoyed the X-Files, you may enjoy domestic shortwave radio.


I doubt it, having seen the X Files in its heyday. SW isn't Mulder and
Scully confronting aliens, it's middle aged white guys with Southern
accents ranting for hours. A couple are mildly interesting, such as

Alex
Jones, but even Jones is no match to Art Bell. After a while you

notice
that the preaching and conspiracy theorizing found on domestic SW has

a
monotonal quality to it, like an interminable session with the worst
professor you had in college.



It's not aliens, it's the Unified Conspiracy Theory, which seems to be
the backstory for many of the evangelicals and conspiratorialists, as
well as for Chris Carter.

Anyway, Mulder should have had at least one SW radio in his apartment.
Many of the one time characters should also have been SWLs.
