Geez... It's been 10 years ago, when Art Bell tried to do his show Midnight In The Desert. I captured it from WBCQ.   https://archive.org/details/art-bell-midnight-in-the-desert-rec-test-boadcast-via-wbcq-7490k-hz-off-air-7-19-2015-edited  Then, used the wi-fi radio to keep on Keith Roland's, Dark Matter Digital Network, to run on my Part 15 AM stations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Bell%27s_Dark_Matter  Where the hell has the time gone? Hey... It was all a good try.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No mater where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Hey Thadood,

I REALLY used to like Art's show. Some of the topics were VERY far out (and maybe total baloney). But Art was the first one to admit this.

Art was a VERY intelligent guy re the technical aspects of RF , all the way up into microwave.

But after he passed away, I never listened to any of the other hosts. It just wasn't the same .

I had never heard Art outside of the AM broadcast band, but had "heard" that other outlets (Shortwave and even pirate ) carried the show at times.
