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 programs pull back the proverbial curtain and expose inside secrets of major industries, beginning with an episode from 5/2/1997 in which Art spoke to author Ann Martin about her investigation into how commercial pet food is made. She shockingly revealed that some companies actually use the rendered bodies of dead dogs and cats to create the food being fed to our pets!
Next, we highlight a fascinating program from February 24, 1997, wherein Art was joined by former flight attendant Diana Fairchild, who shared insights from her 20+ year career in the industry. She detailed issues surrounding recycled air aboard passenger jets, the truth about the 'best place to sit' on a plane, and how pilots are exposed to more radiation than nuclear power plant workers. In the latter half of the program, Mel Waters of "Mel's Hole" fame provided an update on the baffling bottomless hole on his property.
These vintage programs have commercials and breaks removed and are presented in multiple-platforms-- available on-demand for Mac, Windows, IOS, and Android. 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.
