"I can think of at least a dozen guests (and shall list them soon when I have time) worthy of an appearance on C2C more than these clods they have appearing this week." -- binnall, 9.27.4, on the Coast to Coast AM message boards.

Like that, the challenge was made. Despite cries of heresy by the staff at binnallofamerica.com, it had come to this. Immediately we knackered down and began an all out effort to find the very best, and oft-overlooked, esoteric minds from all over the known world. After numerous debates, mindnumbing hour-long screaming matches, burned books,hurt feelings, an obscene amount of Chinese take-out, 4 dead interns, and a Human Resources Manager on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the list was complete.
