A tribute to Art Bell, and ‘Coast to Coast AM’

Art Bell, the founding host of “Coast to Coast AM”, the early-morning radio show dedicated to all things paranormal, has died at the age of 72.

Bell passed away in his home in Pahrump, Nevada, on (in true Bell fashion) Friday the 13th.

Larry opens up the phone to talk to listeners about the influence of Bell, and ‘Coast to Coast.’

Guest:

Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers, a trade magazine for talk radio based in Longmeadow, MA
