Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Fri Jan 02 2026
Description: Art Bell broadcasts from Manila for the first time, fielding listener questions about life in the Philippines before welcoming physicist Russell Targ, co-founder of the Stanford Research Institute psychic research program. Targ discusses the scientific evidence for remote viewing, including decades of government-funded work for the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, and explains how precognitive dreams can be distinguished from ordinary ones by their unusual clarity and bizarre content.Targ describes compelling evidence for life after death, including a chess match played through a medium between living grandmaster Victor Korchnoi and a deceased Hungarian player. Bobby Fischer, whom Targ identifies as his brother-in-law, confirmed the moves were at grandmaster level. Targ also addresses the relationship between remote viewing and out-of-body experiences, describing them as points along the same continuum of consciousness.The conversation shifts to Targ new book, The End of Suffering. He presents research showing aerospace workers at Lockheed and Boeing were were dying prematurely after retirement, attributing this to a loss of identity. Targ advocates for Buddhist-style mindfulness practices as a way to discover a sense of self beyond career and circumstance, arguing that understanding one is more than a physical body is the key to ending suffering.
