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 a memorable episode from 1/29/02 wherein Art was joined by Mel Waters, who provided an update on the bottomless hole allegedly found on his property. He detailed eerie paranormal activity seemingly emanating from the curious chasm and recounted how the government paid him $3 million to lease his land so that they could, presumably, study the peculiar pit.
Next, we journey back to September 3rd, 1996 for a fascinating 'time capsule' edition of the program in which Art spoke to US ambassador to Qatar, Andrew Killgore, about Operation Desert Strike, which had occurred a few days earlier and saw the United States launch 27 cruise missiles at Iraqi targets in retaliation for a US fighter jet being shot at in the 'no-fly zone' over the country. He explained the reasoning for the mission, why America was in the region in the first place, and the state of relations between the United States and Iraq.
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.
