Art Bell Vault: Antarctica & Climate Change / Near-Death Experience

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 offerings are a pair of classic programs, beginning with a fascinating episode from 3/19/2002 in which Art was joined by geophysicist Dr. Christina Hulbe for a conversation about how polar ice sheets have changed over time due to climate change. She detailed how glaciers provide a myriad of insights into what appears to be a warming of the planet, though the ultimate cause of this phenomenon remains a mystery.

Next, we travel back to December 6th, 2001 for a riveting edition of the program wherein Art spoke to Pam Reynolds about her incredibly vivid near-death experience. She explained that, in order to remove a dangerous brain aneurysm, doctors had rendered her clinically dead for over an hour and, during the operation, she not only observed the procedure as it unfolded, but journeyed to the 'other side.' During this experience, Reynolds said, she felt "complete serenity" and was able to see deceased loved ones who had previously passed away.

These vintage programs have commercials and breaks removed and are presented in multiple-platforms-- available on-demand for Mac, Windows, IOS, Android, and the Coast app. 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.
