What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

i discovered this radio show through the podcast! and for that i am forever grateful for it. it’s my favorite thing to listen to. it’s truly amazing the way listening to this just feels like it has a magical effect on regulating my nervous system. the low cortisol, high dopamine vibes the show generates in me is truly unlike anything else! 🫠 also the plethora of knowledge and information on the most interesting topics ever feels infinite… i learn so much, so many things that have expanded my understanding of the universe, of consciousness, etc. makes this a unique life changing experience, i know it sounds crazy but i can’t emphasize enough just how great this podcast is!!! night owls, overthinkers, curious minds, knowledge and truth seekers… give it a chance and you might just find your new favorite way to spend your time! 😊 thank you SO much for the effort you’ve put into this! i do wish i could hear the music or that there was a playlist of songs he regularly played on MITD.

This an excellent archive of Art’s Shows throughout the years, including the years I never knew he was broadcasting. Great going down memory lane and listening to past guests’ predictions & scientific breakthroughs that actually have, and haven’t, come to fruition.

Ben Button · Aug 2026

i listen every single day and also at night as well. this is the perfect podcast to relax to and to enjoy. i can’t emphasize enough how much i love it and how much better it has made my days. i’m a new fan of art bell just discovered him recently but i’m SO so glad i did! i wish i’d gotten into his shows earlier because they are such a wonderful way to pass the time! they’re so much more than just a radio show and i absolutely get that. these episodes are done sooo well. the editing is seamless and it all genuinely sounds perfect. anyway it’s done so incredibly well. Art himself would’ve been so proud and loved it if he were still around. thank you so so much for all you do.

Hi when you post hundreds of new archival episodes at once it makes the rest of our podcast apps unusable, for example trying to view recent episodes or play next, etc. In order to use basic functions, I’m basically forced to unfollow your show so I can clear these out of my feeds.
