Keith Rowland, webmaster of ArtBell.com, joins the program to explain a controversial April Fool's prank that nearly gave Art Bell a heart attack and attracted unwanted attention from federal authorities. Rowland describes how he replaced the normal website with an official-looking FBI seizure notice, complete with the Department of Justice logo, creating a realistic impression that the site had been shut down by federal agents. The prank was so convincing that it sparked genuine concern about potential FBI involvement with the show and website. During the interview, Rowland also discusses the technical challenges of maintaining one of the internet's busiest paranormal websites and answers listener questions about site functionality. The conversation reveals the behind-the-scenes work required to keep the popular destination running while serving thousands of visitors seeking information about the show's guests, topics, and archives.
