Broadcasts
The archive holds 19 recordings totaling 55.2 hours. Each broadcast date comes only from evidence: something said on air, news read on air, or a cited listing. Each date has a confidence grade. A recording's file name gives only a year. Art Bell did not host Ghost to Ghost in 2002, 2008, 2009, 2011, or 2012, so those years are not part of the archive.
