hah.  She was a college basketball player playing against other women who had some of the women's records and was going after two of the schools (higher) men's records which also happened to be the State records as well.  Kinda a big deal as it would be the first time a woman in college athletics had an 'overall' state record by beating previously high records set by men.

Hey Schultz, I have a feeling you are getting déjà vu from your time back on WDAY in 1988 when you got suspended for nearly starting a fight at a Bison game, or the time you 'resigned' (*ahem* were asked to leave) from WDAY after making some inappropriate comments/rant about a caller who asked you about your divorce (and implied infidelity...which was an open secret in the city) live on the air?

How about those comments made during those NDSU vs. UND games back in the late 90's? You were the "Voice of the NDSU Bison" on WDAY for years...YEARS...and you had the respect of the community, but you get canned from WDAY...sorry..."resigned" then go to the OTHER major Fargo station KFGO do a 180 and start trashing the NDSU players, the college, and the city of Fargo and have to have security walk you into and out of the game broadcasting booths. You hadn't left the CITY yet and were trashing it and its college sports teams on the air!

You were told repeatedly by management to chill the frak out on the trash talking, were placed 'on vacation' for many games in the early 2000's before "resigning from sports broadcasting to focus" on your political talk show... Yeah, it's no secret you were told to "resign or we can your ass publicly."

How about all the times you made "women in the kitchen" comments laughingly while covering bison games, especially when referring to the NDSU women's basketball and volleyball teams or your thinly-veiled comments on the radio about co-ed athletes abilities and what they should be focusing their time at college on instead... (something about sandwiches, kitchens and volleyball players performing best on their knees?) remember THAT little radio tirade that had the city buzzing or that side comment during the nightly news about a star co-ed basketball player that was set to break a few of the college MENS' basketball records which you had to do some back-peddling on during the 10 o'clock news?

Eddie, you are an ass AND a misogynist. The nation has only known you for a few years. You were pretty well hated in your home state, years before you went national.

None of the state media would give you a job and the only reason you were allowed to broadcast from KFGO studios for the first few years of the Ed Schultz Show was the studio was getting a good deal of money from Democracy Radio to let you do your show from there.

You finally ticked off the owner of KFGO and he pulled the plug on you broadcasting from the studios. Democracy Radio sold your show to Product First and they upped the compensation given to a studio just to get you on the air again over at KQWB for a year...and KQWB was about to pull your studio time for comments made when KFGO management changed hands and you got to 'come back home'.

In 2003 Sports Illustrated did an article on North Dakota and you were tied for second place with George Steinbrenner as the "Enemy of the State" with 5% of the vote. Brett Favre was first with 39%  From your OWN HOME STATE! 

Now you pull this over at MSNBC on a national level? Well, starting to see a pattern in your behavior yet Eddie? No?

Just so happened that a friend and Art Bell Fan sent me three CD's in 2003, most of them are .ra files from 97, 98 and 99,  there are many Dreamland shows on those CD's, over time I have recorded them to mp3 format.  We used to have a pay forward program and I sent out and recieved hundreds of shows, some of these shows are available here..

First off, thanks a million!  I very much appreciate your efforts.

I do want to point out that the Art Bell Matrix 012.zip
Art Bell 121303 Whitley Strieber_Nick Begich_HARRP
Art Bell 121403 Harry Helms_Shadow Government
Art Bell 121503 Michio Kaku_Nuclear Scenarios
no longer works.  it brings up an error.php page stating the file is no longer available. 

Found you tonight after googling for more information about the "Area 51 caller" satellite error.  Wanted to see if I could find out exactly what caused the shut down and if there was any old news articles about it.

Anyway, live in the great northern wasteland of North Dakota.  Listening since 1992, recording since 1993 though I need to refill the gap in my recorded shows from 1997 to 2005 (apartment building fire burnt up my collection).  Looks like there are a lot of members whom I share the same sentiments with about the show and snoory.

My favorite guests in no particular order would be:

Father Malachi Martin (anything)
Michio Kaku (anything)
George Carlin
Dean Koontz
Willie Nelson
Merle Haggard
Al Bielek (The Philadelphia Experiment.  6/10/93.  I love this show.)
Preston Nichols  (Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk Project. 5/27/94)
Scott Portzline (The Three Mile Island Nuclear Incident 1/28/97)
Leonard Horowitz (Emerging Viruses. 11/23/96)
Travis Walton and Mike Rogers (The "Fire in the Sky" Abductees 4/9/95)
Kenny Young (Trumbull County UFO Recordings. 2/26/99)
Kevin Mitnick (Hacking and Security, 2/10/04....snorry interview but great guest)
Helen Morrison (Serial Killers. 3/09/05...snorry interview but a great guest)

There are more but these are my favorite guests

As much as I laugh, I think I have some old 90's prediction show on VHS where some predictions turned out to have been true...to some extent.  Though with the number of callers and how vague everyone is, it aint hard to get a few hits.

This is for all listeners...but mainly I am asking those who have been following C2C since the early 90's or before.   I want to know how you may have recorded C2C before the internet became huge, before the Artbell.com website, before art dabbled in webcasting free on the net, before streamlink.

I know that real life sometimes made it impossible to listen to Art every night, or there may have been a time when you heard of a show coming up you really wanted to listen to but couldn't because of some reason or another.  At those times, how did you make recordings of the shows?

For me, I taped the shows on VHS tapes. Ok, laugh if you want. 

I didn't know about C2C until near the end of 1992 when a friend of my parents mentioned it in a passing conversation with my father.  I stayed up late one night, pretending to be asleep while I listened to the first hour of C2C with Art Bell...I fell asleep during a commercial break.

I was a kid still living at home in and listening to a late-night talk show that started at midnight and didn't end until 4AM wasn't kosher with the folks nor did it jive with school.  I didn't have a way to record it with my stereo as I had no way to time the recordings.

A couple of years earlier in 1990 my grandparents bought me my own VCR and small TV for my bedroom and later that year, I got a cable drop by my parents for good grades.  In early 1993 a media store I had been working at part time went out of business and I was able to get all their unsold VHS tapes  (couple hundred) for around $20 and a promise to help break down all the old isle shelving and help clean out the store for free. 

That night, I had rearranged my room and while pulling in my stereo, TV, and VCR I noticed the RCA input and outputs.  I dusted off the old unused manuals for all three pieces of equipment and after a little thought, I figured out I could probably record audio from my stereo onto my VCR.  I tried it by plugging my RCA Audio Out line from my stereo to the Audio In of my VCR and then test recording a local AM radio station.  No dice.  Reading the VCR manual over again, I found that it had to have a video signal or else it wouldn't record the audio.

I then plugged the RCA Video Out from my TV to the Video In of my VCR. Doing a test recording worked great, but I found out by playing with the recorded channels that if the channel was off the air and the VCR was getting static, the audio would stop being recorded.

To fix it, I set the VCR to record Channel 3, the channel I switched to to watch cable TC.  I then tuned the cable box in my room to the weather channel since that is ALWAYS on.  Put the VCR in EP mode so I could get 8 hours of recording time per tape, set the 'start' and 'end' timers on the VCR to 11:50pm local and 4:10am local respectively, made sure the stereo was on and tuned to the local affiliate every night before I went to bed (and that the speakers were unplugged) and that family members understood not to touch my stereo. Voila! I could get two full shows on one tape and it worked perfectly!

Laugh all you want, I was a poor high school kid making due with what I had at the time.  I thought it was beyond great at the time.   I'd get home after school and do homework while listening to the prior night's shows.   I believe I have every show recorded from may 1993 to December 1996.  In late 1996 I started playing with MP3's and by Jan 1997 I moved from VHS to recording directly to a computer and then converting the shows into MP3s the next morning.  Unfortunately, I lost all my recorded shows from 1997 to 2005 in an apartment complex fire but my old VHS recordings were safe at my parents. 

I'm hoping to rebuild the gap in my C2C collection from 1997 to 2005 and one day I plan to take time to convert all my old pre-1997 recordings to MP3's and share them.

So today, I bit torrent.  I dislike Snorry but it's C2C, harddrive space is cheep, and who knows when Art might decide to make an appearance.

Thanks for the heads up. If it is alright with you, I may connect up tomorrow to see if there are any shows I don't have in my collection.  Right now I have every show from 2003 until 6/10/11 in MP3 format on a hard drive, and I'm working on getting all the shows I recorded since 1994 on VHS copied onto my computer and reformatted....

Only thing that I purchased because of coast 2 coast was the ARTBELL.COM website commemorative CD's.  Just threw my copy in the computer tonight just to bring back some memories and even after all these years, all the audio links to abcd.rowlandnet.com still work.   Can't believe it.  Even the updates that weren't added to the CD still work.  Made a point to copy everything I could down onto a folder and back it up to CD.  Maybe one day when I get lazy, I'll throw everything onto a DVD and modify the HTML pages on the original Artbell.com cd to point not to the online sights but to the copied media in their new local folders.  Maybe.

I'd like to visit Pahrump some time when I'm down in the area, but I'd not like to live in an area where +100 degree temps can be the norm for months out of the year.
