Try headphones. you will be amazed how much more you understand.

Every so often a "classic" pair of headphones (not the "ear bud"
things
but the big, enclosed type) comes up for sale at a local thrift store.
Next time I see a pair I'll grab them.


. A couple are mildly interesting, such as Alex
Jones,


Jones is boring. Every show is so predictable. It all revolves
around his
primary belief that no one in the government ever has or ever will
do
anything that was not designed to screw the American people.

Yeah, but most of the rest is worse. A lot of domestic SW is at the
Hal
Turner level of smarts.


Well, I'll say international shortwave was better years ago. Back in
the days when they had the radio hobby related programs.

That's true, but most of today's SW listeners aren't hams (unlike back
then) and wouldn't appreciate that content.

I won't say domestic SW is boring, but I will say it's a matter of
taste. And knowing the backround of some conspiracy theories,
especially the Unified Conspiracy therory, makes it more interesting.

My favorite is David Icke. No other major conspiracy theorist has the
"the ruling class are shapeshifting extraterrestrials" idea. Most
conspiracists just repeat each other, which is why everybody on WWCR
sounds the same. Icke has come up with new stuff, which takes a certain
level of smarts and guts.
