Re: Art Bell Back in Time
#2At around the 1:21:00 mark of Ep69 we get into extreme internet nostalgia when Art's brand new website gets overloaded after announcing some new photos he uploaded. He got his web guy on the air to explain the phenomena.
Just a great little bit of internet nostalgia from the 90's in living AM filtered audio. Worth a listen on the 1 hour and 21 minute mark.

#3I used to work obscenely late hours in my QA days at Bliizard and I would listen to Art Bell alone in my car late at night outside an undeveloped area of Irvine looking at the hills and the stars at 1am for my dinner break. I still listen to Coast to Coast for 30 minutes every night for the bumper music or more if the topic is interesting.

#4Request for advice: I don't know Art Bell, though the name seems like one I have heard previously. Would you advise me to just start listening, or would you advise me to use a search engine first? As a guide to your advice, were it Andy Kaufman or Henry Fielding, the advice I'd want would be "just start watching" or "just start reading"; but if it were Robin Hanson, the advice I'd want would be "read this report about Hanson at the academic philanthropy meeting first."

#5Art Bell had the absolute best voice for late night radio. Used to listen to him on my overnight road trips between Salt Lake and Vegas. Just the endless desert under a full moon, and Art's guest is rambling on about interdimensional beings. Could almost believe it for that moment.
One of my favorite things about Art was the tension. Did he believe what his guests and callers are saying? Or is he just humoring them for the show? I never knew the answer. Not sure if I would want to know.

I listened to Art Bell's coast to coast AM program a few times as a kid, and I think it doesn't need to much in the way of introduction. I vote that you just dive in, but I will say that just diving in is a strong bias of mine.

Art Bell was an American broadcaster and author. He was the founder and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program Coast to Coast AM, which is syndicated on hundreds of radio stations in the United States and Canada. He also created and hosted its companion show Dreamland. Coast to Coast still airs nightly.
He died in 2018.

Just dive in. You could find a list of the more far-out episodes. But the fun of Art was not knowing what to expect. Even when the guest was boring, there might be a caller who wants to talk in detail about the starship that abducted them last night.

#9I loved listening to Art Bell in the 90s when I was doing college homework or just hanging out at home. I’ll never forget listening to the Sept. 11, 1997 show live with my roommate - that was kind of freaky. (https://kprcradio.iheart.com/featured/the-pursuit-of-happine...)
