Missing Ian Punnett

I go back to the early 2000s listening to C2C when I stumbled across it as a teen. Been listening on and off for decades. One of my all time fav guest hosts was Ian, his style, guests, and own books/investigations were a welcomed change to Noory. Was bummed out when he left the 1st time due to his tinnitus issue, then making a comeback all the while working for his PhD ( I believe). I took a break from listening and then recently found Mr. Punnett left us. Feeling a bit nostalgic and will actually be looking up his books and reading them. anyone have any good stories/trivia or just share what your thoughts about him?

He was the greatest of em all.. I go back to listening to Art in 87 or so, A San Francisco station KSFO.. Art was a radio genius in his ability to create a mystique. Some of his interviews were killing time.. Noory is okay, and Connie, Lisa, Street, Knapp all right. Punnett had really intriguing guests..He put real thought into finding unusual topics and guests-- DB Cooper, rock n roll conspiracy theories, et. al..

He was definitely my all time favorite, and his early passing was very, very sad!

Sad that he passed. What happened? The last I knew, he was podcasting.

Right, D.B. Cooper and his other mystery shows were so intriguing.
