Internet Version: 1:09:07 THIS EPISODE IS NOT BROADCAST-RADIO-FRIENDLY! Broadcast stations are welcome to it, but you'd better have a finger on the bleep button. I, Stang, am writing this blurb. I did not, however, create this episode. It was the idea of Rev. peas, who solicited contributions from any listener who would listen, and I believe it was edited by Rev. Fidd Chewley. IT IS AMAZING! It's full of songs and rants that I never heard before, and I was indeed honored to hear it. I was honore...

RADIO SAFE VERSION - Is this really Hour of Slack #1998, finished on July 4? If you don't hear another show next week, it means Stang and Philo were Ruptured up into the Escape Vessels of the Sex Goddesses from Planet X and have better things to do than The Hour of Slack. This episode features the second part of the Philo Drummond guest hosting, readings from the Dobbstown Mirror, a repeated message about X-Day, The Swingin' Love Corpses, and Bob Dylan. This show ends as our radio careers began:...

RADIO SAFE VERSION. The possibly short future of The Hour of Slack is the subject of a very, very informal chat between Rev. Stang and Dr. Drummond. It is interspersed with some fine music and, unfortunately, yet more SubGenius obituaries. Newly unearthed versions of Swinging Love Corpses classics are revealed. The amazing guitar medley at the beginning was misidentified by Stang; the band is Shadowy Men from a Shadowy Planet, and the medley may have been recorded at CKLN-Toronto.

X-Day Drill, July 5, Conspiracy Year 1998 - A broken Rev. Susie the Floozie survived the bitter disappointment of the world not ending on that prophesied day, and as therapy, she created this classic episode of her show on WREK-Atlanta, "Bob's" Slack Time Funhouse. Her uncanny ability to pluck pertinent lines from old TV shows and edit them into a new story is certainly on display here. Susie also plays herself and her terrible alter ego Evil Susie, who is even more sadistic than Conky, the evil...

RADIO SAFE VERSION - 13X-Day Drill, July 3, Conspiracy Year 2010 - we recorded an Hour of Slack show on stage before a live audience with Dr. Hal, Rev. Susie the Floozie, Dr. Philo Drummond, Lonesome Cowboy Dave and Rev. Ivan Stang. Except for Puzzling Evidence, these are the SubGenii to blame for the three hoary SubGenius radio shows that have been on the air for decades -- up to three decades, in fact. That show is intercut with new collages by Rev. Heart Ignition, sermons from 13 X-Day by Rev...

Rerun of #534 (1996)! We are now off-world (or about to be), and refuse to produce new shows. Instead, we present a beloved oldie. And we are presenting it two weeks early, as we will be either on the Saucers or at Starwood, and won't want to mess with posting shows then. Back in 1996, just before the very first X-Day Drill at Brushwood, Stang assembled this ultimate X-Day collage, song and rant special, utilizing the best UFO-related clips from our old Media Barrage albums (from the 1980s!) as ...

Our friend Sister Melodious Chops rather suddenly boarded the Saucers last week, and this is an obituary show. She was more widely known, especially in the Cleveland music scene, as Vicky Ganger. Her folk trio, Victoria Ganger and Revelry, included Princess Wei 'R.' D'oh. Besides recordings some of the best hymns to "Bob" (and Connie), Vicky composed dozens of funny, touching, and inspirational songs, which she and the two Revelry Chicks performed at many Ohio clubs, SubGenius devivals, and espe...

Poor overworked Rev. Stang had to get this show done lickety-split, and the fastest way to do that is to turn on the recorder and talk fairly carefully for an hour straight without cussing. Well, he tried. He managed not to cuss, but there were... interruptions. Nonetheless there's a great deal of SubGenius general news and specific Foundation news, some great quotes n' quips n' wit n' wisdom (not from SubGenius sources), and quite a few more koans, slaxioms, and even rants, from both the latest...

RADIO SAFE VERSION. There's news of the 2022 X-Day Drill in Hannibal, NY at the beginning, but most of this rerun is heavy collage work by many pros focused on "Bob." Brain-bleeding stuff. There are also stretches from WCSB's ESO Swamp Radio (Chas, Lonecow Dave, StangDoe) recorded during that one war. Might as well be this current one, or ANY war. Funny how all the war shows are One War Fits All, and apply equally across the board, if the listener can hear past the names of the Presidents then c...

RADIO SAFE VERSION. First, it's part two of four from the recent podcast called "My Family Thinks I'm Crazy," in which Rev. Stang had a lot of fun with the young weirdos hosting it. Then, from the Puzzling Evidence show on KPFA Berkeley, in the year of 2013, Dr. Drummond, Dr. Hal, and D. Woodman Atwell tell THE TRUTH ABOUT HEDY LAMAR! It gets mixed later with samples of Ask Dr. Hal Show with Michael Peppe, Ed Holmes, and Rusty Rebar.

RADIO SAFE VERSION. Two completely different half hours! One is part of a recent interview with Ivan Stang on the video podcast My Family Thinks I'm Crazy, mostly talking about the old days of SubGenius. Lying, actually. The other is an Ask Dr. Hal show on Radio Valencia from around 2013 with Dr. Hal, Puzzling Evidence, Rusty Rebar, Bubba-Free-Im-Ho-Peppe Michael Peppe, the late Pete Goldie, Dr. Philo Drummond, and Bishop Joey. It's NOT about the old days.

Your regular host and prayer partner Rev. Ivan Stang is too busy with life, the universe and everything, to blather out a new show, plus, he already underwent two podcast interviews in last two weeks, so maybe we'll play those in the future. But THIS is the past -- it's October 11, 2013, and we're listening to OverMan First Degree Dr. Philo Drummond, the sole guest that night in the KPFA Berkeley studio of The Puzzling Evidence Show. Later in the show, Dr. Hal and Michael Peppe join by phone to ...

Conference participants: LIES, Puzzling Evidence, Bishop Joey (Church of the Last Laugh), Dr. Philo Drummond, Gary G'Broagfran, Princess Wei R. Doe, Rev. Ivan Stang, Rev. Michael Peppe, Rev. Rob on the Organ.

Once again, everything that was happening in this thousand-show-old rerun from 2003 is STILL HAPPENING! Why should poor bent old Rev. Stang stay up all night at his age editing new Show, when the old ones from twenty years ago are MORE MODERN AND NEW? Moreover, at rural Stang Ranch, the Sacred Scribe has had to deal with one crisis per week, such as wildfires, goat sized hail, and sonic tornadoes. This episode is heavy on the ESO Swamp Radio from WCSB Cleveland (during the Iraq war) but is also ...

It must be "Bob's" will that we were forced by events beyond our control to do a rerun yet again, because this is an especially good one we'd have totally forgotten about otherwise. The ESO Swamp Radio spouting this show was done in early 2003, a few days after the tragic Columbia space shuttle explosion... and yet the space collage by Chas Smith which is also in the show predates it, from around 1998.Special thanks to all the arteests who contributed the collages, especially Fernandinande LeMur...

This is a rerun from last February... the last February of the year 2001. ("2001"-- boy, did those promises NOT come true.) It's SubGenius old-school, and we suspect the old school had better school supplies. Digesting this particular show requires ferreting out the threads of the "theme," that being Early Man: the paleoanthropology of the cave SubGeniuses and their vile vermin pets, the human cave persons. It then morphs into transgender themes of yesteryear, and culminates in the most scientif...

A little bit of everything: ESO Swamp Radio, Puzzling Evidence, Zoogz Rift, a lotta LeMur, Heart Ignition, The Swinging Love Corpses, Heart Ignition, Drexel and so much more. This was when Prof. Chas Smith, Zoogz, and frequent caller Dr. Dark were all still on this earthly plane, and Lonesome Cowboy Dave wasn't really lonesome at all.

Stang reads lots of Onan from The Dobbstown Mirror (Oct. "2021" issue) and interspurts it with short Lemurian and Prefian collages pieces and new music by Rubix Pube, Bob Walkenhorst, and The Rudy Schwartz Project. There's also old music by The Swingin' Love Corpses and Mandre, and an old rant by the young Dr. G. Gordon Gordon. Radio OK!
