The Bell Tolls

Steve Volk — who will, sadly, soon be leaving PW for Phillymag — has a story online right now about Vincent Pontius, who supervises Phillymag’s mail room and is the secret son of Art Bell.

Art Bell, if you didn’t know, has been a paranormal radio talk show host since the 1990s. His program, sans Bell — who’s kind of in quasi-retirement — airs from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays and discusses spontaneous human combustion, UFOs and other wacky things that don’t really happen. It’s an excellent story and you should all read it. Come on, it’s an actual weird story that happened to Art Bell.
