Any Art Bell Fans?

[Emancipated]

I discovered his show rather by accident when I worked my first night job. Just scanning the frequency and came across Talk 640 and it was a life saver!

He's entertained me many a nights. It's great for those who have sedentary listless jobs like data entry.

Mostly good for a good laugh, but sometimes can be very revealing and insightful.

He's been on 640 for many years. I tune in every night but a lot of times his shows are really boring. 640 is known for shows like that. Friday they have the Ricahrd Sarret show and Saturday they have A View from Space.

I used to listen to him a lot more when he was on full time. Now he's just on weekends and I can't stand George Nory. The absolute worst host for that show was some lady. Can't remember her name.

Barbara Simpson. She was replaced by Art on the weekends, but in the past were jockeying the main slot for a while.

I hope he comes back full time too, because I'm not a real big fan of George Noorey either. The whole appeal of the show is his voice. It's hard to describe, but it's very somber like.

BTW, is there a program I can use to schedule to record streams? I also listen to some other science centric podcasts like Seti's "Are we alone" and Explorations with Michio Kaku which are both available to download; CTC is unfortunately a subscription based. Boo!

That's it! Barbara Simpson. I stopped listening to that show because of her. Art used to do it all full time but then he retired because of there was a some legal issue regarding his son and being sexually assaulted by some man. He returned like a year later to just weekends.

I know you can download more of these shows on newsgroups. I don't know what to use to record but I'd be very interested.

[sk8]

So Art Bell is back? thats good. He definately has millions of fans. I liked the show when he was the host but George guy just didnt cut it, so i stopped listening.

[Emancipated]

George Noorey isn't bad. He doesn't get nitty gritty with his questions and tends to placate to his guests, but it's still better than the craptastic shows out there.

Art has retired on numerous occassions only to come back later. I think this is his 3rd retirement, and it's for his back pains, or some such.

The more controversial the topic, the better it is, usually.

I'm going to see if I can find him on newsgroups.

[plucky duck]

I used to listen to him all the time at midnight in bed with the radio earphones on. The show goes til 5am and most nights I'll stay up that late if it's interesting. Back then my morning shifts start at 6am so I had to be out the door by 5:30am so needless to say I didn't sleep much :lol:

But yeah, after he left and George and Barbara took over I lost interest. There's something about Art's voice as well that just pulls you in and his voice lends credibility to what he says for whatever reason...

You know what' I'm talking about. It's the voice.

I have several of his shows from a torrent download which was called "best of art bell"

I'm sure he's the cause of many people's sleepless nights. If they weren't nocturnals, they are now.

[Kerlo]

Heh, I used to listen alot but the commercials annoyed the hell out of me.

One show i'll NEVER forget was one recently after the big east coast blackout. He had a correspondent who was investigating the source of it. The correspondant was essentially saying:

"I'm outside of Ottawa, in a town called Kan-Ata. Located in Kan-Ata, is an underground Canadian Military base, where it is rumored that the cause of the blackout started here. Sources say that they were testing a Tesla coil which had a massive power surge and blacked out the entire east coast . . . etc."

I almost pissed myself with laughter when I heard that!! :D

. . but you never know! Maybe it's all true . . . :confused:

[tep]

Lol. Some of the guests and theories are downright hilarious..yet scary at the same time when you realize how serious these people are about their conspiracy theories. Absolutely love the show!

[firehawk12]

Yeah, I used to listen too... I even listened to the show when he "retired" and it was George Nori(sp) and another woman doing the show.

But, it just got a bit too kooky for me...

[gordholio]

I like George Noory as the host because he has a very good voice. Art Bell is a lot more pointed with his questions, whereas Noory goes along with mostly whatever the guest is saying and doesn't want any arguments.
I usually like to catch A View From Space with the Spaceman (Gary Bell) on Saturday nights from 9 pm till 1 am, and while some of his ideas have some merit (conspiracies and such), some of the numerology, etc. is carried a bit too far at times. Plus he tends to repeat a lot of things during the show and never has any guests on.

[npoon]

I have star choice satellite and the art bell show comes on 630 ched at around 2:00 am in morning (I have to check the timer on my vcr) and I just "record" the show on a vhs tape.

[Desibabu3k]

The worst replacement host was Hilly Rose, hated that guy.

I think the last time I listened to coast to coast was back two years ago, during one of Art's "retirements."

[Hulkster]

I especially love it when they have Ghost to Ghost

[plucky duck]

Ghost to Ghost was awesome. I love story telling, regardless if they're true or not.

Their advertisements were indeed annoying at times.

[Kerlo]

Oh , and I was never a fan of the Shadow People or Big Foot shows, really boring IMO . . .

That's the perfect recipe for entertainment if I ever saw one.

Art is back once more. He's in Manila, Philipines. I've been catching up with this recent history, but the basic chronology is as follows:

- His wife died from one of her asmathic attacks - Art came on air next day and was very close to an on air break down.

- Apparently he's found some woman and married or at least moved in with her in Manila, where he is currently living and doing weekend shows from.

Intersting stuff. I'm truly an Art-oholic.

BTW, does Talk 640 still carry View from Space? I want to check it out.
Also check out the Phil Hendrie Show. Can usually find torrents/newsgroups downloads. He's really raucous, but that's part of his charm.

[R23]

those commericals kill the flow of the show, its bs.
i used to hate george norry, now i just think hes adaquate.
some of the topics are sooo boring, like bird flu, who cares.
i only catch it when i can, usually when i tune in its a commerical.

on the semi rare times its good, its extremely good, ive lost sleep cuz of it.

[shawn99]

i have all the mp3's of all the art bell shows throughout the year. Each season is like 600 mb's, u can find em at bitme.org

[Irb]

You guys should listen to Phil Hendrie

[Emancipated]

You guys should listen to Phil Hendrie


Phil Hendrie is no doubt entertaining, but he's comedy. His format is somewhat unique in that he does the voices of his guests (unbeknownst to his callers), but Coast to Coast AM does tackle serious issues. Face on Mars or Alien visitation are border line hokey/crock pot, but can you prove otherwise? The show is also open to religion, and more mundane, every day issues.

Phil Hendrie is a riot though, but he does get a little old at times. Nothing I'd lose sleep over, however.

[anabeces]

what station is phil hendri on? i remember listening to that sh*t when i was younger. phil hendrie was good.

[stronghold]

the worst thing on the show are the commercials ... they are so long ... after a long commercial break, they play the song and the guy says you are listening to coast to coast ... they go right back to commercials ... wtf

[arbustur]

I have been listening to Coast To Coast with Art Bell since 1996 at the time of the Hale-Bopp comet controversy. It was by accident that I found the show. I remember tuning into CKNW 980, which is a local talk radio station here in Vancouver and I didn't notice that the tuning had slightly drifted to KOMO 1000 in Washington State. Now, I was listening to a serious discussion about an object trailing a comet. While listening to the show, I find out the name of the host is Art Bell and the show is called Coast To Coast AM. I remember some nights it was hard to tune in, but eventually the show was picked up locally by CFUN 1410. I would record the show with a VCR each night, so that I could listen to it the next day. I also remember listening to the shows at work when Real Networks was archiving the show. Before his first retirement in 2000, I was listening to the show every day including the Sunday show called "Dreamland". I practically stopped listening when Mike Siegel took over and began listening again when he came back a year later. Now that he is semi-retired due to his back problems, I will try to tune in on the weekends and occassionally catch George Noory during the week. I think almost all of whats discussed is baloney, but its entertaining at the same time. I am not surprised when something is eventually debunked, such as the Dr. Jonathan Reed alien in the freezer story.

Awesome dude. Not even my newsgroup provider has 30 day retention :D

BTW: The Phil Hendrie SHow is still alive and well. I don't know of any local stations that carry him, but he's certainly still doing his show.

You can listen to Phil Hendrie on CKTB 610 a.m., It comes from St. Catherines Ontario.


The last I heard though is that Phil is hanging up his mike, He is in a tv series called "Teachers".

http://www.radioink.com/HeadlineEntry.asp?hid=133353&pt=todaysnews


I like CHED, but I think they only archive the weekday shows with Noory. The weekend shows are not archived.

There is also a new Coast to Coast Live with Ian Punnett starting 9:00p.m. est. Saturday preceeding Art's. Yep 8 hours of Coast on Saturdays :)

Wow back to back.

I like Ian Punnet, but he's a little devoid of personality. At least of one that is unique enough to make you take notice.

Too bad about Phil Hendrie. I caught a few episodes of Teachers and was none too impressed with it. Simply put, he doesn't have a face for television.

Wednesday/Thursday June 7/8 2006


Art Bell will be first hour guest with George Noory. Art will be calling from his new home in Manilla, Phillipines. :)

Main guest will John Zaffis along with Carmen Reed whose life was featured in the film "A haunting in Connecticut".

Should be good listening! :)

[GuiltySpark]

Been listening to C2C for almost 6 years, steadily losing interest in the last few years after my shifts @ work required me to go to bed @ 10pm ish. I catch the last hour on the way to work, but it always sucks.
Art Bell is the best part of the show, from his style of interviewing to his short temper and wicked radio voice. George Noory is not terrible, but he tends to let the most ludicris guests/callers drone on for ever and he just plays along with it.
The big knock against C2C is that they are sensationalists and encourage wackos to come on with an outlandish stories to drum up ratings.
Mels Hole?
Prophet Ya'wai (sp?)
John Titor? (my favourite, buts thats a whole different story :) )

Overall it's entertainment, and 'Ghost to Ghost' is fricken awesome!

[rocafellarec]

I used to listen to C2C a lot but i cant find a free stream on the interent anymore so I dont listen
The most interesting story I heard was this self-proclaimed hitman that came on and talked about all his kills
Noory is good, Bell is better. Good show.

[Gidget]

Overall it's entertainment, and 'Ghost to Ghost' is fricken awesome!

I very much agree with this statment, at the end of the day I don't want to be bombarded with political news, or endless loops of music played over and over again. So I tune in to listen to C2C. :)

My favourite guest will always be Michio Kaku. He is the best and not a loon :)

There are free streams, just go to one of the links and click on the "listen live"

Art Bell is back live from from Manilla tonight Saturday June 17th.

Happy Birthday Art!

[Cyber0066]

Man i used to love coast to coast when art bell was on. After he left, I slowly stopped listening to it. Still, it's a great show to fall asleep to. But I hated the commercials. So friggin long!

[advantage21]

When Art Bell was still doing the regular weekday shows, he used to have the physicists Michio Kaku as a guest quite often and I really enjoy those shows. But Kaku never comes on with George, too bad, I miss him.

Jeeze, how do you fall asleep when they're talking about Shadow People or the Old Hag thing (where you wake up but your body is paralyzed and there's an ugly old woman sitting on you)...

That just freaks me out...

Actually Kaku has been on when George hosted. Anyway tonight June 23rd, George is taking a vacation and Art is on live with open lines! Hope his phone connection holds out..last week they had to go to a replay after the first hour live with Art.

[Emancipated]

You can get archives of the show, especially the nuttier ones on newsgroups. I have most, if not all the Michio Kaku interviews. Recently Noorey did an interview with Dan Akroyd. For some reason, I find it more interesting to hear about celebrities who harbour support for Aliens or extraterrestial intelligence. It's sort of like, they're risking being labeled a crackpot but they're a big star so who they don't care about what people think.

A couple of weeks ago this dude came on saying he bought beer from one of the 9/11 terrorists, then hung up because he was afraid of being arrested. Total crank, but still funny. I can upload if someone can suggest a site for the file (under 1MB).

[Gidget]

Reminder for Art Bell fans:

Art is doing Ghost to Ghost tonight at 1a.m. est.

[PrimoTurbo]

I used to listen to Art around 5 years ago, I was a bit younger some of the topics would scare the crap out of me listening to them at 2 am during the night.

Anyways the problem is that his show is such crap when it comes to scientific side of things. He gets some of the most obscure people on the show and the callers are just as crazy. I doubt he himself believes any of it because he has heard so much of the bs.

[Emancipated]

Reminder for Art Bell fans:

So he's filling in for George Noorey tonight? I'll be sure to catch it though I have to confess not knowing what Ghost to Ghost is. His other segment called Dreamland was pretty good which I have one episode of. He interview some guy who was decrying organized religion so you can imagine the callers were livid. Needless to say the comments to his guest were quite entertaining.

Anyway, looking forward to tonight's show as Art is rarely on on weekdays.

[Mems]

Haha, this show is all lies ,its hilarious. Only heard it a few times but its the blunt of many jokes on other 640 shows. "Yeah, the Habs winning tonight is as crazy as theories on coast to coast", etc. I can't believe the hosts don't realize people listen to laugh at them, if only they knew that they were making themselves look like complete and utter fools.

Ghost to Ghost is a C2C tradition with Art just like his New Year's prediction show. It's a little different this year because his calls are screened now. It should still be fun. :)

Dreamland's is Whitley Streibers baby now. I think Art handed it over to him..

Art bell has recently announced his retirement from C2C. With that it seems some skeletons are coming out of his closet.

Rumours has it that Kraig Kitchin who also left was padding the ratings for Art.

+1 lol

I've been listening since grade 10, so around 7 years now. Though it's been on/off for the last couple of years or so. Two of my good friends are C2C die-hards as well, and we always laugh at the callers that call-in and share their "psychic" abilities with Bell/Noory, especially the ones that claim they saw 9/11 before it happened, or any event in hindsight :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

We're also die-hard Spaceman (gary bell) fans as well, although we laugh at him a lot as well, it's all an act. Everything is a conspiracy to him...he'll relate any type of number configuration to the Illuminati....heck, he's working for 640. 6 = obvious, 6+4 = 10, ooooooooooo 10.

He's also a producer for LeafsLunch on 640 so i guess that shows he's a normal guy and not this tinfoil-wearing conspirist yahoo (Dale Gribble?) all the time. LOL and the callers that call into his show, are de-brainwashed-brainwashed and sound even more rediculous than him. I hope to god these callers aren't like this 24/7, living in constant paranoia :lol:

Hey look, it's 7/7/7 right now OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *end of the world*
My post count as of now is 1473 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :lol:

Good times

You don't have to like the person to enjoy the show. Look at Howard Stern, a total misogynist, but dare I say, some of his most loyal fans are women. Point is, Art Bell may or may not be a real dirty bastard, but his show is entertaining.
