What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.

Perfect arrangement of these reruns. Mr. Bell is still some of the best talk on the air. One of a kind! Thankyou for your fine effort of posting these for us fans. WW

Edited beautifully. It’s all the Art Bell calls and interviews without the commercial breaks.

Miboone · May 2026

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.
