Art Bell Vault: Climate Change and Antarctica / Bizarre Open Lines

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 an enlightening episode from 10/6/02 wherein Art spoke to scientist Dr. Paul Mayewski about his expeditions to sites around the world, such as Antarctica and the Himalayas, to study ancient ice samples which provide insight into how our climate has evolved over thousands of years.

Next, we journey back to November 27, 1997 for a particularly odd edition of Open Lines in which Art called for a veritable menagerie of characters, including vampires, Men in Black, aliens, werewolves, time travelers, and Area 51 employees, to phone into the program. Among the listeners featured on the show were a self-described 12th-generation alien from the Andromeda Galaxy, an alleged time traveler who claimed to be calling from 2018, and a purported Area 51 worker who seemingly caused a radio network outage during their call.

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.
