Read briefingBest Art Bell Episodes About Time Travel
Time travel was one of Art Bell's durable bridges between science and the impossible. Some episodes approach it through machines and research; others treat time as a mystery that leaks through callers, experiments, and fringe claims. This listener-backed sequence combines Andrew Basiago on time travel and teleportation, a themed Open Lines broadcast, Art's time-traveler hotline, David Anderson on time technology, and Mad Man Marcum describing his homemade machine. The companion caller collection goes deeper into hotline mythology, while this page gives newcomers the strongest mixed path through time travel as idea, engineering challenge, and lived claim.
