RERUN TIME! We're making and posting these 2 weeks ahead, because we'll be busy with the Amsterdam devivals during the middle of November! This is a beloved classic episode from our first year on the radio. The theme: trendiness bashing.

Rev. John Shirley reads his SubGenius short story, "1996 1997 1998" (from "Three Fisted Tales of "Bob" anthology)! That comprises 33 minutes. We also hear from the Puzzling Evidence Letters from Listeners, and some naughty trick audio mutations from norelpref.com and Mister F. LeMur.

The station where live Hours of Slack are produced, WCSB-Cleveland, had a pledge drive, and we did a HELL of a pledge drive show. However, not all the other stations had pledge drives, and even if they did, none have the same call letters, phone numbers and premiums. YET, some of the rants DO APPLY to your life, station, and station in life -- so this episode consists of some of that donation-grubbing, and lots more of everything else, including koyaanisqatful collages by LeMur and Norel Pref, and some fine Puzzling Evidence.
