I used to listen to him treat all his crazy ass listeners as if they were sane. He was a very captivating radio host and delved into a lot of interesting topics.

My grandmother used to listen to him which is how I got into his show. I never believed most of what was discussed or broadcasted but it was interesting to listen to. I remember one episode when he was talking to a guy in a private plane who was flying straight into Area 51 to see what would happen. Something about lights behind him or beneath him getting closer and then nothing but dead air. Supposedly he was shot down.

The years I worked 1500 to 0300 I would listen to him. The topics were intetesting and yes his fan base was "interesting" as well. He died on Friday the 13th which I though was eerily fitting.

I didn't believe most of it either, but the way it was presented on the show made is plausible somehow. I attribute that to Art Bell's ability as a host.

I remember hearing that story but I have no idea what happened. I didn't get the impression Art Bell would do a hoax like that, but it was definitely fitting for the show.

No way that blows! I listen to his podcasts all the time. Have been listening to him for like 20 years now. RIP

Damn I haven’t listened in years. But did when I was unemployed up late at night during the financial crisis. It was a very interesting show.

An absolute legend, RIP. No radio nerd's experience is complete without listening to Bell's Coast to Coast in the overnight hours, half-awake and with a hint of AM radio reception fade/crackle in the background...

He always had an open mind & was an absolute genius with regard to letting the audience know where he stood on a topic, both overall views as well as w/ regard to the 'bs meter'.

Guy was definitely entertaining, and yes, so were his callers.

I still listen to Coast to Coast at night with George Noory.

I used to listen to his Dark Matter show on Sirius during my 2 hour commutes home. Always an interesting guy to listen to.
