Art Bell Vault: Nuclear Scenarios / Gulf Oil Spill & Climate Change

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 12/15/03 in which Art spoke to theoretical physicist Michio Kaku about the dark side of nuclear energy, specifically, an unsettling Russian mishap from the 1950s and the potential for the proliferation of weapons to spin wildly out of control.

Next, we journey back to July 23rd, 2010, for an enlightening edition of the program wherein Art was joined by professor Peter Ward, who reacted to the then-unfolding Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster that discharged a jaw-dropping 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Also sounding the alarm about global warming, he expressed concern that the planet was approaching a state wherein the ice sheets would melt and, in turn, ocean levels would rise to a calamitous level.

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!
