Live from Pahrump: Art Bell, master of the paranormal, makes radio return Monday


Art Bell, former host of the popular radio program “Coast to Coast AM,” will launch a new radio show titled “Dark Matter” on Mon. Sept. 16, 2013, on Sirius XM. Bell stopped hosting “Coast to Coast” regularly in 2003 and was last on air in 2010. He retired in part because he wanted to spend more time with his wife, Airyn, and daughter Asia, pictured here with Bell in his home studio in Pahrump.

When he was just starting out in the radio business, Art Bell was willing to go to great — sometimes silly — lengths to promote his program.

Today, the radio host is known as the creator of “Coast to Coast AM,” the national show dedicated to the paranormal and fringes of science, which in its heyday was one of the most popular programs on radio.

Bell, 68, has not been on air regularly since 2003 and is coming out of retirement for a new show on SiriusXM that launches Monday from his home studio in Pahrump. He was wooed back onto the airwaves, he said, by an opportunity that was too good to let pass.

To help him ease back into being in front of the microphone, Bell has booked physicist Michio Kaku, a frequent guest on Bell’s previous shows, for the inaugural episode of the new show, titled “Dark Matter.”

“Dark Matter” will air on Indie, SiriusXM channel 104, from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; the episodes are replayed at 10 p.m.

I always liked his interviewing style and his droll demeanor.

PAHRUMP -- The master of the macabre is returning to radio. Late night radio kingpin Art Bell, who started his career at a Las Vegas station before he became an international star, has been off the air for a few years but is returning soon - returning not only to radio, but to a laundry list of weird topics that tend to give his listeners a case of the heebie-jeebies.

Bell gave his only TV interview to a reporter he has worked with over the years - the I-Team's George Knapp.

"My favorite line from ‘Contact' is, ‘Wanna take a ride? Well, we are going to take a ride here."
