Tonight we bring back some favorite guests and friends of Art Bell, to express our shared experiences with Art. Joining us tonight will be:

As a professional broadcaster, Ian Punnett experienced success equally in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Chicago as well as Nashville and Atlanta.

In 2013, Ian left commercial media to pursue his PhD at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, part of Arizona State University. He is the author of several books, including How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God from Random House, which was featured on CBS Morning News, Esquire.com, and CNN.com, and two children’s books written to raise money for canine charities, Dizzy the Mutt with the Propeller Butt and Jackula the Vampire Dog.

Karen Jackson – KNYE FM

Whitley Strieber is the author of Communion, about his own close encounter of the third kind, and among the best selling books in history. He is co-author with Art Bell of The Coming Global Superstorm which became the movie the Day After Tomorrow. He is the author of more than twenty other books, including the spiritual classic The Key and the largest-selling book on the Roswell Incident, Majestic. His website is UnknownCountry.com, providing daily news of the edge. It is also the home of the radio program Dreamland, founded by Art and Ramona Bell and continued by Whitley to this day.

Keith brought Art onto the Internet back in the early 90’s when the web was just starting. Art and Keith began a long time relationship where they decided that radio with pictures was the future. As Art ventured in the paranormal, visuals were very important. Keith’s unique skillset allowed Art to branch into radio excellence that no other radio host considered. Adding images and webcams and archived audio to the radio show was leading edge in the day. Later Keith was instrumental in bringing Rush Limbaugh online and other Premiere Radio hosts.

Keith has accrued many skills to be able to continue Art’s progression through the years. Having a background in computer programming, running his own business and being an audiophile and radio enthusiast, allowed Keith to bring Art directly to the fans with Midnight in the Desert on Dark Matter Digital Network. And now with Art’s passing Keith continues the success of operating an Internet radio business that supports and keeps paranormal radio “on the air”.
