Bonaparte is known for his thorough investigative approach to journalism and storytelling, and his ability to engage his audience with thought-provoking content. Let's be real here the world is pretty bleak. the economy is frightening, housing is just as bad, the political divide widens daily and well... people seem to find new reasons to express hate and frustration every minute. I simply need to tune it out. Like an blissfully ignorant ostrich my self-therapy is sticking my head in the sands of weird stories. Perhaps they remind me that there is still magic and mystery in the world... not just finger pointing and bickering.

5. art bell tape vault
Why this podcast?
There is very little I enjoy more than Art Bell hosted Coast to Coast radio episodes. Coast to Coast under his lead was, in my opinion, the high watermark of radio focused on the weird and unusual. If you have never listened to Art Bell, I'm jealous because you have an incredible amount of content waiting for you.
