Art Bell Vault: Human Invisibility Syndrome & Disaster Preparedness

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 edition of the show from 5/23/02, wherein Art was joined by Donna Good Higbee for a conversation about a bizarre phenomenon known as 'human spontaneous involuntary invisibility' (HSII). She shared numerous accounts from individuals who have purportedly experienced this strange state of being physically present yet somehow unseen by people around them.

Next, we travel back to April 13th, 1998, for a memorable episode in which Art spoke to preparedness expert Ted Wright, who shared insights on how to survive in the event of disasters such as catastrophic earth changes, a nuclear attack, and other perilous happenings. He noted that while the initial incident may be tumultuous, the true danger occurs after the disaster as people are faced with a variety of challenges, including a lack of food, water, and electricity. Wright also cautioned that one should not expect the government to provide forewarning nor aid should any of these events occur and that it is up to each individual to ensure their own survival.

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.
