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 fascinating episode from 2/3/2000 in which Art was joined by Dr. Ronald Klatz and Dr. Vernon Howard for a conversation about advances in anti-aging medicine. They discussed the then-current state of research into these treatments as well as the societal implications of having people who live well beyond the age of 100.
Next, we travel back to September 24, 1997 for a enlightening edition of the program wherein Art spoke to Dr. Michio Kaku about genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. On the former topic, he speculated that, in the future, scientists will be able to replace a damaged gene with a new one by way of a simple injection. Regarding AI, Kaku presciently envisioned a day when someone could simply ask a question aloud and he given a prompt response from a computer, which is a rather uncanny description of modern-day 'digital assistants' like Alexa and Siri.
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.
