About This Podcast

Coast to Coast AM has been a fixture of late-night radio for four decades. While it covers a wide range of topics, many episodes feature guests making extraordinary claims about paranormal phenomena, alternative medicine, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscience.

Our goal isn't to dismiss everything discussed on the show — some topics are genuinely fascinating and worthy of serious exploration. But we believe listeners deserve to know when claims contradict established science, when guests have questionable credentials, and when extraordinary claims lack extraordinary evidence.
