A visit to Art Bell's former home in Pahrump, Nevada, where the late radio host broadcast his show from an extensive backyard setup.

Um, I would sure— All right, turning in to where our Belle used to live, Desert Hills Lane Circle. And it's already pretty perfect because Pahrump is in the middle of nowhere, and this is really at the edge of Pahrump. We're in the desert now, and, uh-oh, these people are— we've been through they're concerned. It's down here, a dead end. Of course he lives where there's a dead end. Look at that, there's the transmitter in the backyard. He used to broadcast his show straight from his house. And there's somebody there. That's Art Bell's house. And then look at all these antennas all here. He broadcast huge signal, just one dude reaching 15 million people across the United States. Look at this, just the edge, just nothing. Oh yeah, he's— it's just this big complex. There's people working on his house. He's got some solar panels. And then here he is, perump. Nothing else except Art Bell and his giant radio station. Amazing.
