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 an enlightening episode from 4/28/07 in which Art was joined by physicist Sean Carroll for a conversation about the origin and nature of the universe, including the Big Bang theory, how time and space came to be, and the discovery of an Earth-like planet 20 light-years away from our solar system.
Next, we journey back to September 30th, 2006 for a memorable edition of the program wherein Art spoke to anesthesiologist Dr. Stuart Hameroff about consciousness and the brain. His interest in that relationship, he explained, arose out of a curiosity as to how anesthesia could render one unconscious while the rest of the brain functions normally. Hameroff posited that consciousness is derived from quantum processes that can be disrupted at a quantum level by anesthetic gases.
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!
