It happens so often that I, too, assume it is done for precisely the same reason.

Do they actually own the rights to these old broadcasts? I'd be surprised. Coast to Coast's website has an "Art Bell Vault" with old episodes. I bet they're the rights-holder, rather than whoever is behind this podcast.

Edit: the matter of ownership doesn't necessarily matter to me, but I am curious as to who is behind this.
