Art Bell Vault: War on Terror / Programmable Atoms

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 memorable programs, beginning with an enlightening episode from 8/21/2004 wherein Art was joined by author Howard Bloom for a conversation about America's ongoing War on Terror, which he described as a clash of civilizations. He mused about what is at the root of this conflict and speculated about the possibility of a possible nuclear attack within the United States.

Next, we journey back to April 18th, 2003 for a fascinating edition of the program in which Art spoke to aerospace engineer Wil McCarthy about emerging technology involving artificial atoms which could be programmed. Should such fantastic materials come to fruition, he said, matter could be changed on whim with houses sporting walls that can be turned invisible or windows that move along with the sun. McCarthy also detailed the downside of this technology, should it fall into the wrong hands or be corrupted by hackers.

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!
