Our newest feature for Coast Insiders, The Art Bell Vault, offers an expanding curated collection with two vintage shows added to the mix each Wednesday. This week's new programs showcase amazing real-life stories, beginning with a show from 8/21/95 wherein Art spoke with Patrick Combs about a bizarre incident in which he received a junk mail check for $95,000 and actually successfully cashed it! As one can imagine, the unexpected turn of events brought with it a variety of turbulent legal and personal issues for Combs.
Next, we journey back to May 9, 2001, when author Kent Walker recounted his wild upbringing as the son of a grifter. He recalls watching his mother, Sante Kimes, ensnare a millionaire husband and embark on a globetrotting orgy of criminal behavior that ultimately culminated with the murder of a wealthy widow in a New York City mansion. The crime put Kimes and her other son Kenny on the front pages of newspapers around the world as the public was transfixed by the strange duo.
These vintage programs have commercials and breaks removed and are presented in multiple-platforms-- available on-demand for Mac, Windows, IOS, and Android. Many of them feature rare "5th" hours of content from back in the 90s when the show had a longer running time. We do include Art's beloved bumper music, which became such an indelible part of his program.
And for the true Art Bell fan, we offer different listening options to fine-tune your experience, such as guest only, and full show streams. Coast Insiders, we're very happy to bring this new offering to you at no additional charge to your subscription! We welcome your feedback.
