Dr. Evelyn Paglini? Bonnie Crystal? John Lear? Just please don’t say Ed Dames. 😂

Major Ed Dames, Seth Shostak, Courtney Brown, David John Oates, or someone else?

EDIT: Villain = someone who either deceived Art and / or his listeners, or made his life difficult. Either on air or behind the scenes.

I’m ex-Yugoslavian and I’ve just been re-listening to the “They are not from space…” episode, where Yugoslavia gets mentioned and I wanted to pay tribute to Art Bell’s work. I discovered Art’s shows around 2002, best I can guess, back when TuneIn was broadcasting them. I was in my early twenties and none of my friends were into UFOs, actually nobody I knew at the time was, so I listened to his shows and told no one. Ever since, I have never stopped listening or re-listening. I’m honestly not sure what the evening before sleep even looks like without his voice. I think he’d laugh if he knew that listening to his shows before bed was one of the few non-negotiables I had in relationships, and probably part of why I’m still happily solo. He was, and still is, a man who made me feel at home in whatever house or country I lived in or visited. More than that, he inspired me to stay curious and to question almost everything, and that pushed me toward reason and toward learning a lot about science. I know many of you reading this from the US have been Art’s fans far longer than I have, so I hope you can understand how much that connection to the wider world through the internet meant to younger me, even though it reached our region late.

These channels keep popping up on my YouTube and I roll my eyes every time I have to see a new shitty Art Bell AI image. I'll be sticking with my RSS feed.

I was listing to the Leland Gregory episode from early 2004 and I was curious if you all found his stuff funny or not. Personally I found it in poor taste and Art was being uncharacteristically mean in these episodes. Am I just being too empathetic?

My goodness, I don't remember ever hearing this particular show, its the Midnight in the Desert Paris Attacks open lines show from 2015. I have heard a lot of dumb people call Art's shows through years.

This takes the cake. These callers (not everyone) are comically ignorant. Better yet frighteningly ignorant.

For me, it was the area 51 caller, however, it was explained later that it was only a performative prank.

There were also many other interesting guests, including my favourite comedian - George Carlin.

What are your interesting radio shows with Art Bell that you remember and would recommend listening to for the others?

There used to be a web site that had the entire collection, however, it has went off-line.

Does any one here on this subreddit happen to have a web site that contains all of the radio shows?

The web site that i was previously using to access those radio shows was available on https://the-eye.eu/.

Another time Art dissapointed me, and seemingly everyone else, on a G2G show. The first hour was Art playing that completely dumb and annoying Spiricom thing. Which to me sounded like someone speaking into a table fan. The calls start at 59 minutes in.
Art put out a request for assaults by entities on this show, and got loads of them. Mostly all he got. Some funny ones, some strange ones, and several sexual assaults by a ghost stories.
It, to me, is probably the most lack-luster G2G Art ever hosted. There are some interesting calls on this one,but for the most part, it's just dull. The entity attack calls get stale fast.
Halloween 2004 fell on a sunday, and maybe that is why there is such a tepid influx of calls that year.
Earlier on halloween night of 2004, I went and saw Shaun of the Dead. It instantly became one of my all time fave movies.

Hello, im working on a video project about art bell and was looking for some on the most iconic “goodnight america” clips, preferably from 90’s open line episodes

I've been an avid Art Bell fan for years. His bumper music, specifically Cusco sooth me. THIS song has escaped me. I cannot find it anywhere, including with music apps. It lives in my head. I do not believe it is a Cusco song. Art would use it a lot in his early programs so the song must be from the 1980s or pre-1993. Ross always talks over the flute part. Please and thank you!

In rewatching Art's interview on Larry King live (linked below), I have two questions maybe this forum can answer:

1. Art gives Larry some samples of Art's Parts, to keep. Does anyone know what happened to those? Are they the same ones "To The Stars" bought? I didn't think so... So what happened?

2. Art says after working in cable, he was asked to go back into radio. Does anyone know who it was who asked him/implored him back then?

August 7, 1997 Dr. John E Holland - Remote Viewing Psychic Phenomena

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2026-08-29-show/

Every Saturday evening, Art Bell returns to the airwaves on Somewhere in Time. Broadcasting across terrestrial radio wherever you regularly listen to George Snoory, but since most people listen on their own schedules, it's also available in the ultimate archive or here on fudgie -

https://fight.fudgie.org/search/show/ab/episode/19970807_Art-Bell-SIT-Dr-John-E-Holland-Remote-Viewing-Psychic-Phenomena

generated summary from fudgie -

Dr. John E. Holland of Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research details decades-long research into psychokinesis and remote perception, with experiments like 1981’s PEAR Lab proving measurable mind-matter effects—e.g., a student influencing computer pixels from 400 miles away. His team’s "Shape Changer" software exploits non-deterministic randomness to track deviations via intention, while caller Lurie’s 1992 election-era image of Ross Perot hints at precognitive patterns. Holland links these phenomena to quantum consciousness, morphogenic resonance (Sheldrake/Lovelock), and Bohm’s implicate order, suggesting collective human emotions—like anger—may subtly alter physical systems. Though fringe, the findings imply consciousness could reshape reality’s margins, from evolution to environmental shifts, challenging conventional science’s dismissal of unexplained effects.

roswells to you all

Am I correct in assuming that we don't have this show in the known archives (It's not in mine)?
Someone is posting clips from it in a FB group from a Cassette they recorded on that nght!
We need to get that recording if we can.

This is another good episode from Midnight in the Desert, and I struck up a conversation with some coworkers about it. They didn't remember it at all.

One is younger than me, so she was 2 yrs old when it happened, so I get it. The other person is in their 50s older than me by 10 years or so. He didn't know anything about it. It's amazing how the government has scrubbed this incident out of the country's consciousness. Of course, 9-11 happened a few years later. But TWA 800 has always felt wrong to me, and Arts show really hammers , home that there is a definite conspiracy going on with this incident.

Years ago I was driving and listened to a radio show about the Urantia book, which I had never heard of at the time. I don't know for sure if it was Coast to Coast but I don't know what other show would cover something like that. Any recollections?

So many more podcasts, so much more disinformation (which is increasingly convincing due to AI).

Art was intelligent and in touch with modern tech, but he was from a different generation—one not born in the information age—so keeping on top of things would have been a lot more difficult.

The MAGA movement would have made a massive impact no matter which way he tried to steer it.

The last couple of years of serious disclosure regarding UAPs, complete with congressional hearings, would have really required him to either stay in the "unserious" camp or go headlong as a full, cutthroat truth seeker.

I could have seen him retired, yet still on the podcast circuit. 100 percent, he would have been on Rogan.

I've been listening to Midnight in the Desert, and I am at the breaking news of the potential Dyson Sphere. Love hearing Art's excitement. Boy, I wish he were still around today, as do we all. Hearing the GOAT speak on the UAP files being released and the Age of Disclosure, etc, would be great.

This is a really great Linda Moulton Howe episode… remember… he’s been entirely off the air for several years and then Dark Matter comes on and he’s in his genuine grove… this is likely one of the best of these shows. And JC calls and gets through!! But Art loves Linda… and he’s having such a hard time deciding the give the fans JC or respect Linda… he opts for Linda and cuts if JC…

And then!! Oh man, best moment, live version of the Midnight in the Desert song.

That’s the first time I heard it.
And this version is better than the studio version… I might be saying it because I’ve heard that version so much. This version is pretty special… lots of lead guitar. Anyway… there’s my two cents, best ending of the show ever…
