Hour of Slack #1607 – “I Was a Cultist for the ATF”

Papa Joe Mama’s 1998 SubGenius radio play “I Was a Cultist for the ATF” is but one of several short radio plays in this rerun from 2003. We also get “SubGenius Sci Fi” by The Bishop and the classic “High School Madness” by The Firesign Theatre from their album “Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers.” Oddly, all of these old skits seem remarkably pertinent to this week’s news events despite being such ancient parables about authoritarianism in THE CONSPIRACY. Lonesome Cowboy Dave and the late Chas Smith are heard in some great clips from ESO Swamp Radio (WCSB) and there are loads of keen Lemur Collages — plus, Radio Lemuria, which has nothing to do with Lemur but features a fine rant by Rev. Lemuel Atom. Music cuts include Rev. Mojo Nixon and Rev. The Amino Acids!
