It's funny... pretty much the only time/place I ever want to listen to Coast to Coast AM is when I'm in my car, driving somewhere overnight, and it's 2:00 in the morning and I'm on the Interstate halfway between Bumfuck and Nowhereville. In that setting, there is something magical about it.
- tptacek 5y agoThe only exposure I've had to Art Bell was on a drive from Chicago to San Francisco with my brother, who turned it on in the middle of the night driving somewhere in Wyoming.
- enad 5y agoYes! That is exactly me. Coast to Coast AM at 11:30 in the morning, through headphones, in a cubicle is just wrong. Also the audio needs to go out when you go through a tunnel or around a bend. And then you have to hunt for it again on the dial through all the static on another station. Nothing beats late 1990’s Art Bell on the middle of the night, growing more enthralled (and paranoid) by the minute!
- iJohnDoe 5y agoSo many fond memories of listening to Art Bell. Your comment captures this. The Area 51 call in shows were amazing. Mel’s Hole is another one. Was a great time to appreciate radio. RIP Art Bell. You are missed.
- causi 5y agoArt's appearance in the 2006 videogame Prey was pretty great. Several sections of the game play Art's show in which the callers are experiencing similar events to the game's protagonist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enb_vZTFcdc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enb_vZTFcdc
- rograndom 5y agoYup, same. Driving somewhere in between Elizabeth, NJ and Montreal every 2-3 weeks overnight. Co-driver is saying stuff like "I'm getting sleepy, find the lizard people on the radio."
