Summary

One night in 1996, just as he did many times before, Art Bell would open up the phone lines on Coast to Coast AM. Little did he know, on this night, he would get a phone call from an unhinged Christian Fundamentalist named JC Webster III who was so extreme it even had Coast to Coast listeners cringing. But what seemed like a one-off phone call from a nutjob became a regular occurrence that would plague Art for nearly 25 YEARS. How many? 25! On Part one of Art Bell Tribute month, we tell the story of this relentless jackal of a caller and explore whether he was unparalleled in his idiocy OR unparalleled in his comedic genius.
