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 3/7/1997 in which Art was joined by astronomer Alan Hale for a conversation about the Hale-Bopp comet, which he was credited with co-discovering. He shared insights into the nature of comets and what makes them different from celestial objects like meteors.
Next, we travel back to March 17th, 1999 for a fascinating edition of the program wherein Art spoke to researcher William Thomas about chemtrails. He recounted the first time that he heard of the controversial concept, by way of a report from a man who saw jets creating a grid in the sky, and how his discovery of the phenomenon upended his life. Thomas put forward a number of theories for the mysterious vapors, including that they are designed to make people sick. In the first hour, investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe detailed her own research into chemtrails.
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.
