Anyone else get so caught up listening to these old art bell episodes and forget that the things they are talking about have happened years ago and art is no longer here. I lose track of time and I get transported. It’s nice but it’s also kind of strange “living in the future” listening to these. I hope that makes sense.

Looking for info on which building was his actual studio on his property. Was it the tall Morton steel building kind of behind his house? I’m putting together a tribute video and want to label everything correctly.

I find Jimmy Akin to be exceptionally thorough and balanced. He is a Catholic apologist, and does spend a few minutes at the end of every episode discussing the days topic through the lenses of "faith and reason". However i find his show to be well produced and very consistent. He discusses many overlapping topics with classic C2CAM and I think Art would appreciate this episode.

He’d for sure bring this up. On CSPAN.

Anyone remember what’s on it? I feel like it was a dump of his website when he retired but can’t remember anymore. Wonder if it still works?

A friday night open lines hosted by Art. A rarity in this era of the show.
Art kicked off the holiday weekend, he would host all 3 nights. The Christmas Eve show, sunday, was Dave Sereda. I recall listening to that one, as I recall listening to this night of open lines as well.
These shows were just about 2 weeks before I said hell with it and gave up listening to Coast. Things had gotten so boring to me with the week night guests, I was rarely tuning in during the week. Second week or so of Jan 2007, I just gave up. For months, I just stopped tuning in, towards the summer, I began catching Art on the nights he hosted, usually Sundays.
This show was inspired by a Dean Koonce book, Life Expectancy. If you recall, Art had interviewed Dean in the past, and in summer of 2006, Ian interviewed Dean for 2 full episodes over the course of 2 consecutive saturdays, a part one and a part 2.
Lots of great calls on this episode, the topic was Worst Days. People were cheery on this holiday weekend, and it was exciting to have 3 full nights of Art to enjoy over the weekend, even if the sat night, Dec 23rd show was kind of a dud (Autism and the Greys was the topic, guest was William McDonald).
Some far out calls in this one, ranging from the no way, to the no way they made this up. Almost a Truth or Trash style episode.
I clearly remember listening to this one, my then job had shut down till the Weds after Christmas, and I had a few days off ahead of me.
I tuned in the next weekend for Arts annual predictions shows, and soon after, I was seeking new over night entertainment. Ten years of listening pretty much nightly came to an end,
