Art Bell

[rosbells]

Our TT account says the subscription expires on the twenty first. For days, I've been trying to get Hubby to sign in to PayPal to see if it's an ongoing payment for the subscription, or what, because what I have access tto, via Art's site,  says no such thing.

Keith will get it sorted out. Just be patient.

Rowland blows.

Still only pay pal? Really?  At such a crucial time..?

I'm a small business owner and can accept credit cards, interact (debit), ETC from my website. I can also process electronic payments at my customers door.  C'mon.

Cancelled my PP account and MITD subscription until KR get's out of the 90's type payment methods.

I dont agree with everything you say, but you are entirely right about paypal. They are losing out so much on potential subscribers when you have to go through extra steps like registering yet another account with a third party just to be able to pay/subscribe. Why is it so hard to just let us use our debit/credit cards without going through paypal?

It would be interesting to know if there was a flurry of last minute subscribers before the price went up.

I hope so!  We need as many subscriptions as possible so Art makes money.  Art making money = happy Art = lots of radio in the coming months and years.

Keith is unconcerned about losing potential subscribers and "knows best" about all things PayPal. Here's verbatim of an email exchange I had with Keith a full three weeks before Art's return:

(Me to Keith)
June 26, 2015
For God's sake man. You're shooting yourself in the foot!
You *must* provide an alternate payment method. I would have subscribed right now but PayPal is *consistently* a very big pain in the ass, i.e. 100% of the time. Not acceptable. Sorry.
==============
(Keith replies same day)

Sorry about that, but  they work perfectly for me. For over 15 years, 100% of the time.
Best Regards,
Keith Rowland

Alrighty, suit yourselves.
At minimum, give us an option of larger, lump, one time, payments, quarterly, twice yearly, or annual -- non refundable is ok.
And by the way, "it's not about you" -- always good to remember when you're "serving".
Google "PayPal problems" for a wake-up call. You _are_ alone in your "headache free" experience with that entity.

In any event, I did bite the bullet, finally, and used my PayPal account to subscribe the morning after Art's first official return show, i.e. morning of the 20th, and wouldn't ya know it, locked out of my MITD member and archives page this morning, on the first actual test, and on account of . . . who? and what?

My account is up and working as of  7am EST. Listening to last nights show now.

My account is working again too. Got an email from Paypal listed as 8:11am and checked and all is well again on both PC and cell phone.

[UnscreenedCaller]

My account's back to normal again. Thanks, Keith. Must've been a bumpy night sorting all this out. 

[phrodo]

And just a guess regarding paypal only -- but maybe they do the auto-renewal subscription thing themselves whereas if Keith took credit cards he would have to bill everybody's credit card monthly? maybe? Again just a guess.

[UnscreenedCaller]

I see a real possibility of conspiracy to conceal the truth in the flight 800 case, and I believe one can say this without looking like a tinfoil hat idiot.

MV, I don't know if I was convinced last night by the video, but there is some compelling evidence to support the idea that this plane didn't come down because of a fuel tank issue. Very good show.

One thing I have to say about Art's shows, whether we agree or like the guests or not, there is a tremendous amount of discussion during and after, which is confirmation Art never lost that magic.

Brendan and Barbara tonight. Should be fun.

[ponyboysunset]

I just want to say I am finally caught up as I am a day walker and subscribe to the podcast! Bravo Art & Redacted for putting on such a wonderful show! As for paypal, I love it. It's easy, been using it forever because I am an ebay shopper! Does anyone know is the price for Hoagland going up too? I was pondering subscribing and trying it out?

[anunnaki]

Keith's recent SNAFU with the Time Travelers_

Let me be the first to name this "Keith's Y2K in 2015"   !!!

Dont recall them ever being on with dave except one time just after he took over the show. 2003 ish

[Queen]

Will they both be their??  The headline only shows brenden. But the bio for barbara is up too. Odd??

[Queen]

I think the GIS show is arts biggest show. I find it interesting that the time travelers subscription goes up before they are on. Been thinking that for weeks lol. The GIS were supose to be on on the 6th but all of a sudden the fee needed to go up so they were rebooked. Lol. Just speculation lol. I could be wrong who knows its interesting tho lol. We new it would go up at some point but just before the GIS come on??? Lol

...Does anyone know is the price for Hoagland going up too? I was pondering subscribing and trying it out?

Rossy posted on the OSOM thread that as far as he knew, it was not going up.

give it a few months... I'm seeing hoaxy asking for further donations, planning trips, selling tickets to his dog and pony shows... maybe starting a torsion physics dating site.

Thank you. There are clips on youtube of his "stalker" calling in that are quite amusing. I figured for $5 I might try it. Could be radio gold. But then again I am easily entertained.

BTW interview on flight 800 one of the best Art has ever done!

That should be the name of the dating website

You are very welcome.  I haven't caught all of Hoagie's shows but have enjoyed the ones I have.  He's quite the character, of course, but he's made a much better host than I expected.  Last night with Dean Haglund was very entertaining.  It certainly got me reved up for the return of the X-Files.  I also learned they're apparently pondering doing more than just 6 new episodes.  Please make it so!

$5 seems like a low risk. I don't have to keep it if I don't like it. I like Saucy Rossy's work so I figured it was a way to support his efforts as well. I always liked his whole 'face on mars' thing, whether it's true or not, and let's face it most of us who listen know this is all entertainment!
