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 11/23/2003 in which Art spoke to author Matthew Alper about his theory that religion is a biological and evolutionary development having nothing to do with the existence of a God. He posited that fear of death was a significant factor in the emergence of spiritual beliefs.
Next, we journey back to September 4th, 2003, for an enlightening edition of the program wherein Art was joined by researcher Craig Wiin, who discussed the roots of terrorism based on his conversations with members of al-Qaeda and similar groups. He warned that Muslim fundamentalists were being driven to "slay the infidels wherever you find them" and expressed concern that the United States could suffer a dirty bomb attack in the near future. Winn suggested that capturing the oil supply in the Middle East would prevent terrorism funding.
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!
