Art Bell Vault: Drug Legalization / The Expanding Earth

Just for Coast Insiders, the Art Bell Vault offers a curated collection, currently containing more than 500 programs, with two vintage shows added to the mix each Wednesday. This week's offerings are a pair of classic programs, beginning with a memorable episode from 1/12/98 in which Art was joined by High Times Magazine publisher Peter Gorman for a conversation about drug legalization. He detailed the many failures of the war on drugs, reflected on the legacy of the counterculture, and shared insights on traditional medicinal practices derived from plants.

Next, we journey back to August 12th, 2006, for an enlightening edition of the program wherein Art spoke to comic book legend Neal Adams about his intriguing theory that the Earth is expanding. He posited that the planet was once a quarter of its current size, with the continents covering nearly the entire globe. This more diminutive Earth, he mused, would have had significantly less gravity, which would account for how the dinosaurs came about and thrived.

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 offering to you at no additional charge to your subscription!
