I have a collection of over 900+ of Art Bell radio shows in mp3 format from 1992 to 2015, saved to my google drive, its about 45gb in zipped format, if anyone is interested in downloading: Art Bell Podcast.zip I need to delete it soon to make room for other stuff. I'll leave it up for about a week. If someone else has room and could copy/host it and repost a link for others to download, that would be awesome, thank you. Enjoy! |

NOICE! I'll snag a copy of that, but I need to be on another computer to do it. This one doesn't have the memory space. *starts rooting around for a 64GB+ thumb drive* |

I'll snag that when I'm home and not using the company's guest network.  I wonder if U7Radio.org would be interested in that, too.

Who remembers Madman Markham? I think he was trying to recreate something akin to The Philadelphia Experiment. Using very high voltages to create some sort of field that he intended to walk into. At one point I remember he said he got into legal trouble due to using too much power from his local utility. I think there were at least two episodes, maybe more. I always wondered what happened to the guy. Ahh good memories while working graveshift when I was in my 20’s. |

I do, he got arrested for trying to steal surplus transformers from his local utility lot to run his time machine experiments, lol. His interview (and the cop that arrested him) with Art is one of the episodes in the file. Theres possibly a second, but I haven't listened to them all yet. The one about John Titor the time traveler is also in there somewhere. |

I guess I really missed out on something. Thank You! Same here, only tuned in for the later years when he was still on coast to coast, then George Noory took over, but the show was never quite as engaging without Art. I always meant to listen to his latest show midnight in the desert, but always had so many other things to do, then he died. Fortunately, there are many episodes of Midnight in the desert in the file as well. To all, you're welcome, I collected many of these episodes off of online podcasts that others had uploaded over the years. I edited the dates and titles as accurately as possible for the content of each show and tried to organize them as best I could, I hope you all enjoy the many hours of Art Bell! |

Or I don’t remember. Not that I wished ill will on Madman, but I believe he said he’d walk into the field he generated live, I didn’t want to miss out on that. Kind of like watching nascar back then, wrecks were part of the show. Listening to Art was like sci-fi live on the air. |

| Damn. To hell with it, I have enough space on this machine for the .zip file. I'll transfer it to something else when I get a chance. |

| FYI, I've cancelled my google drive subscription, however being over the free storage limit when downgrading doesn't automatically free up space to be in compliance with the limit, so I'll just leave the file up until I need to upload something new or I get notice by google to free up space, in which case I will have to manually delete the art bell file. So, it will be "tentatively" available to download going forward. If you come across this thread later and the file is no longer available, you can IM me if you have dropbox or something similar, and I can upload it to you directly, it's a 45gb zip file. |

Greatly appreciate you posting. I was able to grab them. Thanks a ton! |

Anybody here who already downloaded it know how to set up an open access torrent at a free pulbic tracker? (it's not illegal if all the episodes are out of copyright.) |

| I just found this thread. Thanks OP it's still available as of now. I haven't unzipped yet (hehehehe), but I think this will be wonderful. I like to listen to the old shows on the weekends when I'm tired of music and nothing but infomercials on the radio. Most of the online sites that host the Art Bell shows are a PITA to use. I hope some of these contain the bumper music and ads of the day. I have found some online that do. |
