Wouldn't that be amazing? Tonight definitely going to be peeping some old Ghost To Ghost episodes.
Rest in peace to the king of radio
Also tonight...
You guys stay away from those "red eyes"
Needing some kind soul to reupload all of them. Its a shame spotify took them off
I'm thinking scientists, professors, politicians, etc., etc. Michio Kaku and Terrence McKenna come to mind right away! I find Art's more "grounded" interviews interesting in their own way.
Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃
Does anyone know what Art Bells necklace is of ? It does not appear to be a crucifix so curious. Sorry if this is an elementary question…
I remember one caller asked Art if he felt like the curator at a modern art museum because everyone keeps asking him "hey, is this Art?" I thought it was funny.
Hey all, I "released" this a few years back to soundcloud but I figured it might live better in posterity on Youtube. A whole side A of a cassette tape worth of original electronic / post punk backing tunes I recorded under some of my favorite Ghost to Ghost calls. Seasonally appropriate.
I was watching it last night. The scene where they meet the aliens for the first time is in Pahrump. There's no way that it isn't an Art Bell reference.
Can anyone help me, years ago I heard the area 51 call in its entirety on YouTube set to a truck sim game. It was great and dark and rainy and was so good to listen to on halloween. There was a YouTube channel that had a lot. Can anyone help with a link or download. Sp good for spooky season.
So I Tried again and seriously gave it my Best…. And as much as i wanted to like it.. Nahhh i shall pass.
Don’t know why or what it is, but to me the voice is off… i mean meh it’s close i guess. And it says Dumb Shit that i hardly ever though Art would say…. I was in need of some Heebie Jeebies for Halloween… and it worked… creeps me out and the music in the commercial really freaked me out… give me old reruns old Bumper music and let me ride My see saw 👍
In a related note, does anyone know where I can find the clip of Art playing Sasquatch screams? I got a Yeti that needs audio.
I’ve been listening to a lot of the early 2000s predictions shows with Art and I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thinks will happen in 2025.
Also, I realize this may be a bit early but I am remembering the idea now so I wanted to post it before the hamster fell off the wheel and I forget.
I have consistently appreciated Ed Dames. Recently, I noticed that he was a guest on a podcast I often listen to. What are your thoughts on Ed?
He legally gave Heather his guest house while married to Airyn. What spouse would allow a sex worker to gain legal entry to your property?
Does anyone read the sporadically-published Desert Oracle magazine? In the first issue from 2015 there's an article about Art and his shows, and although it's complimentary and respectful there's a quote in it that makes me laugh out loud: "Behind it all was exactly the kind of person you were told to avoid in real life: Art Bell..."
I remember hearing an episode where it was one guest I believe and he discussed a skinwalker type cryptid pretending to be someone you know. But I can't find it anywhere and have searched all the archives and reddit. Ring any bells?
I used to listen to Art Bell all the time when I was a kid. I would put it on and fall asleep to his incredibly soothing voice and all the fascinating stories.
I stopped after graduating high school in 2006 (moved out of state and didn't know local radio stations and just kind of moved on).
Now I've discovered that old episodes are all over YouTube. So now I'm listening to it to fall asleep again.
So I'm looking for some recommendations if some really interesting episodes, preferably pre-2006 (I'm enjoying the nostalgia) and none of the ghost to ghost episodes (I've always found hauntings and ghosts to be kind of boring).
Hilly filled in for Art regularly back in the day. In 1998 after Art quit there was a number of weeks where Hilly filled in. He was a great fill in host, very much in the style of Art
Sadly there are very few Hilly Rose episodes in the available archives. Does anyone know where to find other episodes of Coast to Coast Am hosted by Hilly? Some of those 1998 episodes will be great.
I hope this doesn't break the rules, it's Art Bell adjacent.
Anyone have particularly good Ghost to Ghost's to check out? I need 3 good ones if anyone has suggestions.
It seems like a topic that would be of interest to him. It is one of my favorites but so far I'm not seeing that he ever talked about it.
Not the Area 51 frantic caller, but one where the guy is talking and someone else cuts in on the call and says "cut the call" or "cut the transmission" or something like that where a third party ends the call as if they've killed it from a different location.
Does anyone remember that? I remember hearing it live as I was working late shift one night.
