I found Ground Zero years ago via Sirius XM..literally (imo) my fave show of Ground Zero (I believe it was Halloween 2013 or 14) Clyde was taken off the air mid show bc it was that scary (but real..scary..that’s what did it). Alas, I attempted to write Sirius XM a few times telling em to please put him back on..meanwhile..at least I had his show, driving at night as a regional trucker across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma on so many local AM/FMs through most of the ‘20-teens’..and also including couple of power house Super AM’s 1170 am & 1200 WOAI… Clyde is not just a paranormal, conspiratorial topic master radio presenter..any topic he tackled in the past I found him to do it best. Example..I recall an episode he did right after Prince died..omg..that expose of Prince…that deep dive blew my mind..he did the same on Bowie and other music based shows..He can also present History and make it come alive, Break down complicated Science topics so the laymen can understand etc etc Clyde’s Show, now (sadly, for no common sensible reason imo) has disappeared off so many of these AM’s..however..Good News is..we got podcasts now WHICH brings me to MY ONLY COMPLAINT.: Clyde..of all the podcasts I surf around, listen to, many becoming daily regulars for me, I have never found one (such as yours) that doesn’t put out the full daily show for others to hear..but holds to this old subscription format, popular more than 5 years ago to 15 years ago..I know, bc I had monthly subscriptions to shows. Nowadays..Why not put the shows out there daily as does everyone else? You’ll get so many sponsors..darnit..you’re so good..you’d be making all the money you deserve (and I believe you deserve the best) once others got a taste of more than a short segment. YouTube, Rumble..Apple Podcasts..and yeah..there are things like patreon where fans can give too..but the subscription thing..it’s in the past bro..A talent such as yours should not be ‘hidden under a bushel.
Finalllt, I do think a show like Ground Zero or Coast AM..which such an extensive back log of awesome shows, can continue to have a subscriber only/pay side..for all those archived years of old shows..maybe a daily one hour podcast, a chat room for the subscribers & Clyde..Ad Free new and old shows etc..but that base of subs won’t grow in the near future (imo) if the daily show isn’t fully put out on platforms like Apple Pod..like everyone else does..the new medium.. (I mean like daily..the last two hours of Clyde’s show that was always 10-12 central).
You can’t expect this new Gen to here 8-9 Min of a show and subscribe imo..Another thing to remember..them old timers who subscribed back then didn’t get no 8-9 min..not a one of them who subscribed ever did that back then after hearing 9 min of each show (that I wld think anyway)..they heard the show on radio long enough to probably hear some episodes in full, maybe had to go to sleep, or work etc and miss part of some really cool eps..and then they decided..”I wanna hear it all at my convenience”..plus all the old shows etc
