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 5/23/2008 in which Art spoke to viewing teacher Major Ed Dames, who shared worrisome predictions for the future. He expressed concern about bird flu and impending food shortages as well as widespread chaos sparked by a massive solar flare impacting the planet.
Next, we journey back to May 22nd, 1997 for an enlightening edition of the program wherein Art was joined by psychedelic pioneer Terence McKenna for a conversation about his background in ethnobotany and shamanism as well as the nature of time, which he likened to a constant struggle between "habit and novelty." He mused that this balance was being disrupted in a manner similar to the phenomenon that Art had dubbed 'The Quickening." McKenna also offered insights, based on his research into psychedelic substances, on the UFO phenomenon and aliens
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!
