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…

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, re…

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 begi…

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 …

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 bee…

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 asse…

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 compos…

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…

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. …

RADIO SAFE VERSION: Rev. Stang has been busy with video projects, book projects, broken projectors, a dried-up dryer, a late Medicare payment, the rewiring of the DobbsHed shed with the ancient tapes in it, in 100 degree heat, and, he must mail all those orders to Australia, AGAIN, now that the paranoid Covid mail ban has been lifted there and also…

Rerun of 2003's Hour of Slack 882 - WAR & X-Day Rev. Stang has been busy with video projects, book projects, broken projectors, a dried-up dryer, a late Medicare payment, the rewiring of the DobbsHed shed with the ancient tapes in it, in 100 degree heat, and, he must mail all those orders to Australia, AGAIN, now that the paranoid Covid mail ban ha…

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…

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-H…

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 Drummon…

Over the Edge / SubGenius: "The Church of the SubGenius: The Next 100 Years." This is the first part of a 5 hour marathon historic weekend at Sulphur Palms Resort, MCed by Bud Good of the Universal Media Netweb (with Don Joyce, Negativland), broadcast on KPFA, Berkeley, CA, 12-27-2002. Conference participants: LIES, Puzzling Evidence, Bishop Joey (…

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 a…

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 w…

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 Sub…

Rerun of #868 from 2002 -- so it's an old and very different war, but some things never change. 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 st…

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!…

RADIO-SAFE VERSION. Big news about X-Day "2022"! (See subgenius.com/newdevivals aka Events.) The hardcover collector's edition of THE AGENT AND MR. DOBBS is now available! (See subgenius.com/scatalog/books ) A new Rubix Pube album is out (two songs from that), as well as a new Bob Walkenhorst song. The Rudy Schwartz Project's instrumental will make…

STORYTIME! Music by Rubix Pube, The R.A.T.H.O.L.E. clench, and The Rudy Schwartz Project provide relief from Stang's readings from the just-published SubGenius novel, THE AGENT AND MR. DOBBS by Rev. Teeters LaVerge. http://subgenius.comPar SubGenius Foundation

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 ol…

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 Fir…

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 D…

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 …

RADIO SAFE VERSION - PROOF that the Sacred Scribe, the OverMan, and the The SubGenius Foundation chief officers in general are still alive and well, almost like “Bob” himself! On Jan. 18 “2022,” on his way to do some consulting at an arms conference, Dr. Philo Drummond himself choppered in to the helipad at Stang Ranch to do some Show recording wit…

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, wh…

RADIO SAFE VERSION. Although the hole in Stang's back is beginning to close up, he went and broke his foot, which is his latest excuse for running thousand-episode-old reruns. This one's from 2000 and has a little bit of everything old, good and indifferent. Pat Boone covering Metallica, The Great Groovy Neptune, Einstein's Secret Orchestra, Stang …

Most of this episode is from 1993, and therefore wonderfully old school. Puzzling Evidence, The Swingin' Love Corpses, Radio Shorts, Phineas Narco, Dr. Howll, The Rudy Schwartz Project, Zoogz Rift, Nenslo's Bobbie Hating Rant read by Stang, Drs. 4 "Bob," Church of New Faith, Jay Condom, Rev. Susie the Floozy on Connie, The Sterrills, ESO Radio with…

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 co…

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. Thi…

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,…

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 compilatio…

Many cut-ups by that cut-up LeMur, much Swamp Radio, Consortium of Genius, Swinging Love Corpses, Pink Boyz, Bleepo, The Brag, Stang ranting, and Onan's "Bob" Drinking Song recorded at a raucous devival in Akron, Ohio, 2002. 1 "Comedy Tonight" clip (A Funy Thing Happened...) 01:31 2 HOS 4 promo Dobbsoidianisms (El Queso) 00:36 3 "Comedy" con't 00:1…

Great Preachin' (rerun of #857) -- TIME TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE! For instance, Rev. Stang practices extreme Time Control to buy himself extra Life Time by exposing new audiences to these classic recordings, rather than breaking his back further by sweating over a hot hot-splicer (or digital editing system, as the case may be). This way, the new generati…

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 Conspirac…
