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 compelling episode from 4/2/02 in which Art spoke to Dr. Gary Schwartz about his groundbreaking scientific research into the survival of consciousness after death. In the first hour, Mark Barry presented a remarkable recording of Larry Walters, the famed "Balloon Man," whose 1982 flight captured worldwide attention.
Next, we journey back to October 15th, 2006, for a memorable edition of the program wherein Art was joined by Prof. Peter Ward, an investigator for the NASA Astrobiology Institute, for a conversation about how fluctuating oxygen levels have contributed to mass extinctions and evolutionary changes over millions of years. He also warned about the devastating effects of an asteroid striking the planet and the perils that could follow the melting of the ice caps. In the first hour, Stan Deyo reacted to recent earthquake activity in Hawaii and a potential forthcoming tremor in San Francisco.
These vintage programs have commercials and breaks removed and are presented on 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!
