A NEW X-DAY REVELATION is unraveled! The whole episode is Stang's annual sermon to the Winterstar Symposium -- the 31st one. It was delivered via Zoom, so the laughter or anger of the audience watching Stang on their screens can't be heard. It is however a full-on pulpit-pounding rant, this particular one derived largely from "text jams" between old SubGenius Doktors such as Dr. Philo Drummond and Rev. Uncle Dr. Onan Canobite. (And Stang reads a pure Onan rant at the end.) Included is an old-sch...

RADIO SAFE VERSION. PART TWO OF THE NEW "LIVE" EPIC TWO-PARTER EPISODE! Stang reads the first chapter of our new book, the SubGenius mystery novel THE AGENT AND MR. DOBBS by Rev. Teeters LaVerge. We continue the conversation with Lonesome Cowboy Dave, but frequently cutting to sound clips that were referenced, such as a long classic clip of The Firesign Theatre from their second album, How Can You Be In Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All.

A NEW "LIVE" EPIC TWO-PARTER EPISODE! Lonesome Cowboy Dave can't talk, and Rev. Ivan Stang can't hear. Not the best formula for a successful modern podcast aimed at 13-year-olds, perhaps, and yet on we strive. There's some news, or perhaps just promises, or even some lies, -- indeed, probably all three; also, music from the Stang family, and from Dave's ill-named band. Our new book, the mystery novel THE AGENT AND MR. DOBBS by Rev. Teeters LaVerge, is officially announced as now existing in hard...

NOT A RERUN! -- and all safe for broadcast, at least in terms of language if not ear or mind health. Sheridan contributed another of his collage shows, but some of it made Stang even more deaf than he was before -- so those noisy sections have been replaced by some clips from old ESO Swamp Radio (also from Cleveland) with host Chas Smith, Lonesome Cowboy Dave and Rev. Ivan Stang. http://subgenius.com

This episode is not a rerun. We broke out of the thousand-episode-old-rerun RUT, and editor Stang's broken and swollen body parts are healing, even possibly mutating slightly. This is a NEW show, but by the mysterious entity in deepest Cleveland who goes by the name SHERIDAN. It is INTENSE, and there is no explanation of its various ingredients, which are all over the sonic map. We hope to fire up Tarzan’s Radio Station next week and start recording new shows again with call-in guests like Lones...

Pat Boone covering Metallica, The Great Groovy Neptune, Einstein's Secret Orchestra, Stang ranting at events, the mysterious Banjo Bob, Jehovah Hates Phred, Mystik Homeboy, Jimmy Ryan music, Father Guido Sarducci on the Church, Rev.

RADIO SAFE VERSION! What are the holidays without Slack and reruns? Sappy, nostalgia-provoking reruns on TV are what Christmas is all about, right? Plus, it gives us a break. This is the hoary old annual traditional Xmas Re-Rerun of #867 (and 921 and 1026, 1077, 1129, 1236, 1338, 1497, 1549, 1602, 1654, 1705, 1758, 1810 etc.), which was itself a condensation of some ancient year's 3-show "Best of Xmas Sickness" compilation, which were themselves the concentrated best-of from 15 years' worth of p...

One COULD say that every SubGenius radio show was a spin-off from another SubGenius radio show, in a kind of endless Uroborus circle jerk. If Rev. Susie the Floozie's "Bob's" Slack Time Funhouse spun off Hour of Slack (which was preceeded by The Puzzling Evidence Show), The Lymph Node Institute was by far the best of several Funhouse spin-offs. This example proves it. Prepare to use your brain in a new, albeit not NECESSARILY better, way. Probably better. The music and ranting between songs -- j...

We'll do fresh shows again someday. This thousand-episode-old show is probably better, though. This one has a little of everything plus a couple of amazingly well done "Bob" hymns that haven't been heard in a long time, and two (!) classic sermons by Father Joe Mama. Lots of ESO Swamp Radio with Chas, Dave, Stang and Wei, The Swingin' Love Corpses, Zoogz Rift, Little Fyodor, The Pink Boyz, and some old-timey Stang ranting. Stang, incidentally, is not dead, just taking it real easy for a change. ...

A rerun of a rerun of a rerun! We must wonder how deep they'll eventually go, drilling into the past -- perhaps to avoid an uncertain future? Or just to reanimate greatness long thought extinct, like the recreation of mammoths from frozen DNA? Perhaps an even more pertinent question: who cares? HoS #447 (rerun as #859 in 2002) was a 1994 compilation of some of the best bits from the 1991 Hour of Slack and KPFA shows regarding the Gulf War, with some things that came later, especially a collage v...

Back in them days of 2002 A.D., when our spines were stout and strong and straight, there were so many audio contributions coming in from so many artists, and so many subjects covered on the various other SubGenius-related shows (especially WCSB's ESO Swamp Radio) that we were making 'theme' shows. The most common subjects were "Bob," the Conspiracy, whatever war was going on at the time, aliens, apocalypses, and, of course, sex. That's what this is; but "love" sounded more atypical for Hour of ...

The pattern (and Stang's spinal therapy) continues with another THOUSAND-SHOW-OLD SHOW! YET AGAIN, AGAIN! #1854 is really #854, rerun from 2002. In those days, when we had a lot of new material, we broke it up into "themes" just as an arbitrary way of organizing the mass of sound files. The theme in this case developed when Dr. Philo Drummond unearthed some old tapes of The Pink Boyz, the rock band headed by the late Dr. X, a brief and early co-sub-founder of the Church. Dr. X, Stang's best pal ...

We'd been using 'em all along, but he'd been on such a tear that we organized the next 3 shows around his contributions.
