Art Bell Vault: Inventing a Time Machine / Future Technology

Just for Coast Insiders, the Art Bell Vault, offers a curated collection, currently containing more than 500 programs, 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 1/13/1997 in which Art talked to Steven Gibbs, who claimed to have invented a time machine. He revealed how his future self visited him in 1981 with insights into how to construct the device, which purportedly runs on "soul energy" and allows people to travel forward or backward in time.

Next, we journey back to May 1st, 2005 for a particularly prescient edition of the show wherein Art was joined by Peter Cochrane, the co-founder of ConceptLabs, for a conversation about forthcoming technological advancements that would change our lives. He detailed how RFID (radio frequency) tags would soon be used to used to track all manner of commercial goods. Other then-nascent technology previewed by Cochrane that has since come to fruition are tracking apps in cell phones as well as 'black boxes' and cameras on cars.

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 offering to you at no additional charge to your subscription!
