Art Bell hinting at returning...

[julius]

again?

his facebook page, twitter and artbell.com are all strongly hinting at it..

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I remember him. I used to listen to him when I drove at night between KFalls & Portland. He is one serious nut job. But I found him amusing.

I'd listen to that show when I should be getting to sleep in middle school/ high school. It was really crazy, first few shows I thought some of it was real with the magnetic polls switching and light speed travel.

 

[Further]

But being a crazy conspiracy kook is a young mans game.



awesome, I'll take a listen if he does them as podcasts, but there is no way I'm listening into the wee hours anymore. Too much alternate content available on my schedule.

I loved that stuff, so much fun BS. But the best part was the guests who had devoted their lives to the absurd.

Art mixed in a lot of factual material

Zahi Hawass, Egyptian head of pyramids, talked about hidden and "undiscovered" areas in and around the pyramids decades before anyone watched the same stuff of The Discovery channel, or the History channel

The stuff on remote viewing, dispite how usefull or how valid the results were, it was a government ran program. I have read several items on how it came into being, as wll as mirror operations conducted in russia

not all was talking to people who believed they had been abducted etc

Pole shifts happen pretty frequently ... they just don't cause the havoc that some of his kookier guests proposed

I agree, i really did love the show, and not just for the absurd. I loved it for introducing me to concepts and ideas that I would have never had exposure to back the the days before the www. I started listening somewhere around 1990 and actually do remember well the shows about the pyramids which were fascinating. But I also remember someone on there talking about how there was proof that the pyramids were alien technology. While I have no proof they were not, there certainly is not proof that they are.

But either way, I do like those bizarre topics.

Neat, but I don't think that's what the guests are talking about. More like the earth shifted 90 degrees so tropical islands are where the north poll is today, and vice versa.

In Bell's world, internal combustion was all the rage. S2 would be prudent to be wary of such.

Dude, I loved listening to Art. He doesn't believe everything that he has on the show. That's a huge misnomer. He just realized that his audience ate that shit up so he would literally have just about anyone on the air. I think he's a great interviewer because he would ask the questions that I would want to ask. His shows were way more entertaining than 99% of talk radio, and he was 10x the host that George "Yawn" Noorey is. The show took a serious dump after Art left. When I worked nights back in the early 2000s, I would always listen to him. It would be awesome if he came back.

That's why he's a big hit on S2.

Go back and listen to the old interviews with Art Bell and Michio Kaku. Art knows his stuff and would ask great questions. Noorey asks the stupidest questions when he interviews Kaku. He'll ask 8 different versions of why couldn't god have created the universe. One night I was listening and Kaku was explaining string theory. Noory asked him if ghosts are one of the strings.

Those were my favorites. And when he discussed military weapons.

I tried to rep Sly and the message stated, "you gotta be kidding me".

 

[MickZagger]

I would actually listen to Art Bell on KEX all the time as a youngster. I was always amused and it got my imagination going.

 

[julius]

there's a website that broadcasts old episodes for free (u7radio or something).

Noory, as has been well discussed on here, is absolute garbage.

Kaku is amazing. I love listening to him. That's why I always loved Art's shows. They're not all ghost stories and UFO's, he has some really interesting guests like Kaku, or Graham Hancock. The Ghost episodes are always the most boring for me personally.

Radio's Art Bell returning with Sirius XM show

NEW YORK (AP) — Art Bell, radio's master of the paranormal and outward edges of science, will return to the microphone on Sept. 16 with a new nighttime show on Sirius XM Radio.
Bell was one of radio's top syndicated voices in the 1990s before walking away from his nightly show in 2002 due to family issues. He worked occasionally after that but hasn't been on the air since Halloween 2010.

"I missed it terribly," said Bell, 68, whose weeknight show will air live from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. ET. Sirius is building a studio at Bell's rural Nevada home where he will work.

A Sirius representative contacted Bell through social media a few months ago, leading to the formation of his show, "Art Bell's Dark Matter." He'll talk about things like UFOs, ghosts, near-death experiences and weird aspects of science. He'll do interviews and take calls from viewers.

Scott Greenstein, Sirius XM president and chief content officer, said the show will be "uncensored, unrestricted, uncluttered and utterly unique."

"There's probably more interest in the genre now than when I did it," Bell said. "When I did it, I was damned near alone."

Bell was on some 500 radio stations nationwide and "quit when he was at the top of his game," said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers, a magazine that covers the radio industry.
Harrison said Bell's subject matter has roots in old-time radio, and he predicted it will become popular once again in the coming years.

"He'll be looked at as one of the veteran, old masters," Harrison said. "He's the real deal when it comes to marching to the beat of a different drummer."

There's also a potential rivalry with George Noory, who replaced Bell on the syndicated show. Bell isn't a fan, saying he considers Noory "not edgy enough." Noory's program is on later at night, so the two will not compete directly live.

No contract terms were divulged.

Bell said he's intrigued to learn the differences between satellite and terrestrial radio.

"It seems to me they are the next step in technology," he said. "I've always been a technological junkie. The mix of what they're giving me, the freedom that they're giving me, is priceless."

Wow, blast from the past.

Art Bell was the guy that used to have all of those late night broadcasts about aliens and stupid shit like that, right?

I remember my pops introducing me to Art Bell when I was having a hard time falling asleep as kid... my brother and I really bought into and loved that shit as kids.

I don't know if I'd be interested in him now, but when I was a little kid, it was like watching pro wrestling. I'd watch The Undertaker pile-drive Mankind, and then fall asleep listening to Art Bell with my brother, going on about some crazy alien shit...

Good nostalgia thread...

Anyone calling Art Bell names is seriously misinformed and ignorant (talking about you, El Presidente and Mick). He is a very, very smart guy and a a great interviewer. Most of his guests knew their stuff (unlike the buffoons on George Noory's show), and Art had really interesting chats with them. Art wrote several books, including the now prophetic "The Coming Global Superstorm." He understood the effect of climate change on the weather before anyone.

Additionally, he was married to his wife Ramona for years when she died of an asthma attack. He later met a Filipino woman, moved there to be closer to her family, and started a new family of his own. He is a decent, smart, kind man, a great talk show host, and I for one am thrilled he is coming back. I will buy a Sirius radio just to hear him again.

Agreed on all counts. When Ramona died, I felt a sense of loss that I've never felt for a celebrity or an acquaintance. He loved her completely, and the show that he did after she died was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever heard. People actually called the local Sheriff because they were worried he was suicidal, which says that his fans care about him enough to have him checked on, and how incredibly down and distraught he was.

I agree but I thought it was almost creepy how he was happily remarried 3 mos later.
