Tonight should be good. This show is the best $5 I spend every month. I usually listen to Clyde Lewis (whose Friday show was amazingly good - or at least entertaining) when I get to work in the morning, then pop Art on once I've had the chance to wake up.

Clyde Lewis? What's that about?

In a day or two. Still waiting for the last votes. Be patient with me... :)

You can find links to his show and archives from the OP. I rarely listen to his show but I would say that Clyde's show is much more focused on conspiracies than Art's show.

Clyde's show is one of many that starts airing 7PM PT / 10PM ET (two hours before Art's show). I'm going to write a post about those shows when I have more time...

EDIT: Clyde was recently Greg Carlwood's guest on The Higherside Chats podcast.

I hope the app they eventually has allows downloading of all the shows. I'd like to give that a listen and I'd like to listen to Hoagland's show, too.

I haven't listened to RCH's show yet but I can only imagine how insane it gets.

All very accurate. He seems like a pretty personable guy as well. He tends to be the "call a spade a spade" guy and does focus more on conspiracies than on the paranormal, though he'll cover that as well. He also is a great radio personality, and he can make even boring topics listenable.

His show was cut from 5 hours to 3 by his home station to make room for Art and personally I think it's improved the show a great deal.

Flat Earth theory debate tonight! Should be a fun show if they have found the right guests for this debate.

The flat-earther feels confident: "The Harvard Professor is going to be CRUSHED."

This should be better than last night's Moon landing hoax stuff where you get obstinate denial of something that's really obviously true, but the mental gymnastics aren't particularly interesting. Flat Earth, on the other hand, often involves a concave world, ice walls in Antarctica, a crystal dome and upper firmament... Juicy stuff.

Ok I've got an open mind to just about everything having do with space/other dimensions/paranormal/etc. but damn.

Guy sounds like some sort of science troll.

Yeah its a bit harder for me to get into this one. Last nights was more of a friendly debate with both sides accepting one another.

Is he on all 3 hours? I haven't really been interested in tuning in for debates, since it seems like it would be annoying arguments instead of amusing stories.

If you want to get access to the show archives, you should join the "Time Travelers" before the price goes up.

I will post a reminder closer to August 20th.

Good idea... You've been chosen. Make us proud and don't forget to give a shoutout to GAF! ;)

Does anyone here have a strange story to tell that might interest Art and the rest of us?

EDIT: This would be a good story but the poster has disappeared... I think my apartment may be haunted.

It took some time to decide what the OT title should be but the announcement is finally in the next post. This is how it went...

The original title of this thread was...

Art Bell returns! “Midnight in the Desert” launches in late July. Deja vu?

The first OT title suggestions were...

Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| Wanna Take a Ride?
Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| High Strangeness on the Airwaves
Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| UFOs and Unscreened Open Lines
Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| The King of Late Night Talk Radio
Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| Where Science Meets the Paranormal

Feedback included suggestion "Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| From the Kingdom of Nye".

"Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| Wanna Take a Ride?" was the most popular suggestion but it didn't tell much about the show.

The final vote was between two OT title suggestions...

Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| UFOs, Ghosts and All Things Paranormal!
Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| All Things Paranormal! Wanna Take a Ride?

Feedback included suggestion "Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| Wanna Take a Ride on the Paranormal Side?".

The winning OT title suggestion got 58% of the votes. I made a small change and sent the OT title to a moderator...

It was a close race but we have a new OT title! The winner is...

Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell |OT| All Things Paranormal... Wanna Take a Ride?

Many thanks to all who voted! Also thanks to Dresden for changing the title!

"Wanna take a ride?" is a line that Art borrowed from his favorite scifi movie Contact.

"Wanna take a ride?" scene from the movie Contact (YouTube). SPOILERS!!!

Q&A from Art's Reddit AMA...

What is your favorite Scifi movie?
CONTACT. It's not even a close call.

I hope that everyone likes the new title. Let's keep on listening (like Jodie above) and posting!

Sweet title!

I called in one time back in the early 2000s, but don't remember what my exact question was. The show's subject was about one of my absolute favorite out-there topics: Pole Shift!
Planet X (Nibiru?) was going to come along, mess with the Earth's magnetic field, and cause a new tilt. I was working overnights back then, and the topic captivated me for some reason.

I had to stop listening last night because the Flat Earth guy made my head hurt.. was he for real or was it an elaborate troll?

Flat Earth is an area where it can get legitimately hard to tell. A fair number of people involved are doing it as a thought experiment or purely contrarian thing, but it has a tendency to blend seamlessly with the actual cranks.

I had to stop listening as well. Art doesn't need to do topics like last night, some things don't need to be debated. Btw great OT YKA.

Yeah, if Art's going to do debates, they should be between two distinct flavors of weird instead of weird vs. orthodox. Even the Moon landing stuff was brought down to that level due to the all the tired old arguments that had to be refuted.

I won't admit anything...

Someone must have hijacked my account and sent invites to a few gaffers who have made a mistake of saying something positive in the UFO, paranormal and conspiracy threads.

Tonight's Bigfoot show was better than I expected. Don't miss the unscreened open lines show tomorrow!

Wasn't there a gaffer who encountered bigfoot? Said it was evil?

I was reading paranormal threads yesterday and saw you asking that question. I have done some searching but haven't yet found the case you are talking about.

I also listen to Mysterious Universe and most of their stories revolve around Bigfoot being benign or some kind of Jack of the Green.

Then again, that could be because they find those stories hilarious. "Bigfoot is going to help me carry my new sofa down the driveway". "Bigfoot lined up outside her house for some of her smoked salmon".

Travis Walton tonight, interesting to say the least.

Speaking of guests. I REALLY hope Art gets David Paulides on. Always love hearing him.
