PAT NOVAK, WHITE PONGO AND VENUS BOUND
December 26, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
PAT NOVAK, WHITE PONGO AND VENUS BOUND

We featured the debut of another Pat Novak episode to start off
our last show of the year. Treacherous dames, gangsters and
gunsels, served up in seasoned noir style by the ever-reliable
Pooh-Bah Players. It was a privilege.
Music of dope-smokers. Poetry of Whitman and de la Mare.
SubGenius X-Day reportage in situ from the X-Moment itself,
pantsless.
Then, after a while, we got around to the narration of PRC's "White
Gorilla" (Suit) Epic, White Pongo, starring Buster Crabbe and Julie
London. Encountering this material was of long interest to your
Editor; if the listeners were also diverted, we should find that
outcome agreeable.
Some of First Spaceship on Venus, known in Germany as Der
Schweigende Stern (The Silent Star) and in Poland under the
name Milcz ca Gwiazda, some of this, indeed, was added, but we
then closed up shop, forty minutes overtime.
We'll have to come back and try this another time if we want to
follow what happens when they land on the Morning Star.
Meanwhile, we're counting down to the upcoming live show: ADH at
Viracocha again-- January 3rd!

EXPLORERS OF THE UNKNOWN
December 19, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
EXPLORERS OF THE UNKNOWN

The Siege of Belgrade in the 15th Century was documented by early 19th
Century newsman Alaric Alexander Watts, in his alliterative alphabetical
poem. So we threw that in.
But soon we, my stout companions and I-- we'll go on that diet after the
holidays --were engaged in a unique voyage through the High Frontier of
free-associative flight. Using the latest technical equipment, and also
benefiting from top scientific expert assistance, we iteratively broke
through barriers of standard thought and unimaginative rumination.
Featuring Karen Carpenter, Puzzling Evidence and KrOB.
Meanwhile, we're counting down to the upcoming live show: ADH at
Viracocha again-- January 3rd! Will it be broadcast? The audio will
probably be good...

STANG VS.THE WISTERIA MONSTER
December 12, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
STANG VS.THE WISTERIA MONSTER

More tag-ends and remnants from X-Day Drill 2014, that disturbance in
the heart of existence. Join fanatical SubGenius "Savonarola" Stang as,
in desperation, he leads his torch-bearing minions against a creature
more fantastic than the human mind can encompass...
Among the ancient, overgrown trees, dire signs point to the presence of
an unimaginably malevolent force, unconfined, on the loose and ravening
for human blood. But this is no mere monster movie. Recorded on the spot.
Poetry, philosophy and Powers of Pedantry fill up the chinks between
the kinks. Ancillary material by Whitman McGowan, Gregory Peck, the late
Peter Sellers and others. Gags, novelties, Cosmic truths.
We often, in fact, call on a uniquely gifted group of performing ministers,
prophets, teachers and archivists, each the possessor of specific talents,
abilities, knowledge and techniques of the spirit. They present parables
and living examples to wean wee SubGeniuses away from doctrinal error,
credulity, superstition and fanaticism. Right from our studio.
Meanwhile, we're counting down to the upcoming live show: ADH at
Viracocha again-- January 3rd!

SON OF SIMULCAST MADNESS, AVEC "THE MANSTER."
December 5, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
SON OF SIMULCAST MADNESS, AVEC "THE MANSTER."

Another Monster Movie, Lippert Pictures's 1959 oddity The Manster,
serves as the holiday centerpiece for this piquant Reloadio presentation.
With Puzzling Evidence. KrOB visited the studio too. Dr. H. Owll starts
with Keats but soon wallows in the obscurity of long-forgotten Pop
Culture, narrating the clumsy tale of a red-blooded Ugly American who
ultimately rips into two beings, after a lengthy indulgence in protracted
angst. Then, it's into the volcano for the bad one, a hairy and murderous
Pithecanthropus-type.
But the "fun" doesn't stop there, as we then visit a slice of The Evil Brain
from Outer Space before going our separate ways. Single-antenna'd Starman
battles deformed Marpetians ruled by the suitcase-dwelling Brain of Balazar.
With Tervo Ishii, Akira Mitsuwa and Koreyoshi Akasaka. Meanwhile, we're
counting down to the upcoming live show: ADH at Viracocha again--
January 3rd!


BIRTHDAY SHOW, FEATURING "THE HEAD"
November 28, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
BIRTHDAY SHOW, FEATURING "THE HEAD"

I, Dr. H. Owll, became 64 years old on the day of this show.
The epigraph was Robinson Jeffers's poem, Vulture, a remnant
of the Rev. Baby Bear influence. This program then featured the
entirety of the 1959 German horror film, with commentary by Dr.
Howll, Puzzling Evidence and Pete Goldie, while excited fans
watched and listened at home. When the mysterious, obsessed
Dr. Ood (Horst Frank) arrived at the laboratory of Prof. Abel and
Dr. Burke and volunteered to help the former with his experiments,
the professor was working in some unusual directions, including
keeping the detached head of a dog alive on an operating table for
several days. This process is technically known, among mad
scientists, as Perfusion. Through plot developments, Prof. Abel
awoke from an operation to find himself now a living severed head,
perfused by laboratory apparatus. Dr. Ood next contacted one Irene
Sanders, a hunchbacked nurse and former patient of Dr. Burke's,
and completed his plans to replace her body with that of an
attractive nightclub stripper. Unusually, for movies like this, the
operation was a spectacular success, though some may prefer the
stripper's original head. A mysterious pipe-smoking man also
prominently figures in the plot... Birthday festivities conclude with
a blow-by-blow account of The Day Time Ended (1979), or at least
the good parts.
Again, deranged “edits” segue into a cascade of echoing glossolaliac
madness, the voicing of lyric ruminations from the free-falling brains
of disintegrating personalities.

again-- January 3rd!

PIPE-SMOKER'S RADIO
November 21, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
PIPE-SMOKER'S RADIO

A SubGenius Load, with a vengeance.
Deranged “edits” segue into a cascade of echoing glossolaliac
madness, the voicing of lyric ruminations from the free-falling brains
of disintegrating personalities.
And some people, demented individuals, obsessively record every
word and squealing sound effect. Of course, you may just hate it.
With: Poetry recitations from Dr. Hal and Rev. Baby Bear and a
live studio visit by Puzzling Evidence. More news coverage by Ace
reporter Carol Denney. More of Ivan Stang. And is Too Much, in every
case, always Better Than Not Enough?
Counting down to the upcoming live show: ADH at Viracocha

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON NATURAL HISTORY

The Kraken and the Great Sea Serpent make an appearance, along
with Dr. P. Goldie, who provides a review of recent widely-publicized
Space Science experiments. With: Whitman McGowan, Peter Sellers,
Professor Elemental, Rev. Baby Bear, Princess Wei R. Doe and Ivan
Stang. News writing by reporter Carol Denney.
Counting down to the upcoming live show: ADH at Viracocha

THE BUM WITH TWO HEADS, or, THE INCREDIBLE TWO-HEADED TRANSIENT
November 7, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
THE BUM WITH TWO HEADS, or, THE INCREDIBLE TWO-HEADED TRANSIENT

Everyone in my neighborhood these days only looks down at the glowing Distraction Box he or she
carries at all times.
That's why they miss some of the stranger denizens, who used to be only glimpsed making their
stealthy rounds as I took my late-night walks. Now they're out in force, even by day, emboldened, since
nobody can see them. Explained on the show.
In addition, pedantry, poetry, much of Stang and the Gang. Puzzling Evidence sits in, helps make a
crisp ending. Breaking News: ADH at Viracocha again-- January 3rd!

THE OWL CALLS UPON THE NIGHT... ONCE MORE...
October 31, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
THE OWL CALLS UPON THE NIGHT... ONCE MORE...

Halloween, and a re-run.
The owl Archimedes, familiar of Merlin the Enchanter, is the Psychopomp who takes us, in the initial reading, to the undiscovered country of Kennaquhair, whose latitude is 91 degrees North and longitude 181 degrees West, the domain and demesne of Athene, Goddess of Wisdom. There we observe the lives of the trees, at thirty years a minute, and then the lives of the rocks at two million years a second. All thanks to Terence Hanbury White.
From the sublime... to elswhere, as we feature St. Andrew the Impaled's telling performance, from X-Day 17, of his lyric, "Low Standards."
Also with Baby Bear, Professor Elemental, Spy Emerson, Rusty Rebar and DJ Female Convict Scorpion ("Bill Cosby Talks to Kids about Drugs").
An a capella rendition, better unremarked and forgotten, emits from Dr. Hal as, tormented, he channels Frank and Nancy Sinatra's "Life's a Trippy Thing" ("Gettin' Stoned on Sunshine").
Then there's the Techie who Looks Through my Windw. What to do?
NEXT WEEK: Mo' Show...

THE LEGEND OF SMITH'S BURST REDUX, WITH PARTY FAVORS
October 24, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
THE LEGEND OF SMITH'S BURST REDUX, WITH PARTY FAVORS

A special sound mix accompanies Dr. Hal's recorded reading of Brian Aldiss's story
The Legend of Smith's Burst. Then the Studio Gang arrives and (ultimately) finds its way
on to the microphones.
"Doc" Goldie pours the wine, and the evening expannds like a contented stomach.
Electoral prospects are the meat for our well-rounded round-table discussion.
Next week: Re-runsville, since Halloween is too big to be avoided.

THE RUBA'IYAT VS. MICHAEL PEPPE
October 17, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
THE RUBA'IYAT VS. MICHAEL PEPPE

"And while the Poem on the Show was read,
Nestled with Music in its new-made Bed,
Then came the jangling Telephone, and, Lo!
'Twas Michael Peppe in the Poem's stead.

"Such Chaos then did Peppe there create,
The Poem fled, and sought another Date,
Perhaps an unborn Broadcast yet to come,
Perhaps to nothingness, if thus its Fate.

"Meanwhile did Puzzling and KrOB come in,
Usurped the Board, and added crazy din
To change the Show, unutterably, and
Tacked on two extra Hours-- or, were they Djinn?

"Ah, me! So often will the Show be turned,
As if by baleful Magic, all aim spurned,
Against the fleeting Dreams of Dr. Hal,
To be a New Thing-- all-too-often learned!"

THE LONG-AGO SEABIRD RISES
October 10, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
THE LONG-AGO SEABIRD RISES
A solitary effort, despie the hovering presence, later on, of Puzzling Evidence in the studio.
Absorbed in his laptop, he never accepted the invitation to come to the microphone.
A mélange of music and poetic fragments, the show also contains a call from a distant fan.
Keep those calls coming, folks!
And the wild wings were raised above her folded head, and the soft feathered voice was
flying through the house as though the she-bird praised. And all the elements of the slow fall
rejoiced, that a man knelt alone in the cup of the vales.

SO WE'LL GO NO MORE A-ROVING
October 3, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
SO WE'LL GO NO MORE A-ROVING
"She, to whose person paradise adher'd,
As courts to princes; she, whose eyes enspher'd
Star-light enough t' have made the South control,
(Had she been there) the star-full Northern Pole;
She, she is gone; she is gone; when thou knowest this,
What fragmentary rubbish this world is
Thou knowest, and that it is not worth a thought;
He honours it too much that thinks it nought."
--John Donne
As Doktor Reverend Baby Bear wanders far away, among the stars,
Dr. Hal, robot-like, curates a show of SubGenius odds and ends, an
automaton without soul or inspiration.
Some of those bits are pretty funny, though.
No one else is present in the yawning void; no one comes into the
studio to visit, this time.
Except KrOB, at the very, very end.
Next week: more fun!

BABY BEAR... and "THE GANG..."
September 26, 2014 10:00pm

 

Ask Dr Hal
BABY BEAR... and "THE GANG..."

Doktor Reverend Baby Bear appears for her final three hours of radio on Dr. Hal's show.
But in come Puzzling Evidence, KrOB and Karen Carpenter of NHLG-- and pretty soon,
they've plugged their Infernal Devices into the board-- and her voice must contend with an
overwhelming wash of sound effects and snarky clips.
Still, as always, she does more than hold her own.
After the show concludes she tries to stay on for the AfterShow, but the Noise Avalanche
roars louder than she cared to prevail against...
Since then, the fans have all weighed in on her favor.
So ends her conquest of Left Coast Bay Area Radio, and whatever "Radio" Valencia is.
And now she's gone.
Some say she'll return, but they say that about Jesus, too, and both returns require an
Apocalypse, don't they?

SATISFIED WITH LIFE
Recovering from desperation and dessication in the Desert, Dr. Hal springs back to life in his first post-Burning Man radio show. Featured: after "The Owl and the Vulture," a poetick rumination, the ADH show debuts the third of the Pooh-Bah Players's Pat Novak for Hire radio detective series, "Ruben Calloway's Pictures." Hour of Slack No. 1477 excerpts provide post-14-X-Day ruminations. Whitman McGowan chimes in with "Bobs" from his Caught in the Act CD; we also hear "Hypatia" by Italo Calvino, from the Dr. Fiasco-produced Invisible Cities of Italo Calvino CD, performed by Dr. H. Owll. Another vulturine poem, the sublime "Under the Vulture Tree," by David Bottoms, precedes Whitman's "Unconfirmed Report" and "Be Nowhere Now," both from Caught in the Act. And Dr. Hal provides an a capella performance of "[Then I Know that I'd be] Satisfied with Life." KrOB, a drop-in visitor, helps round off the show with his usual technical finesse. No vultures were harmed during the making of this program.

Hal was off being tortured by the Master for failing as Torgo, so Sherilyn Connelly, KroB, Puzzling Evidence, and eventually Pete Goldie dive into the Videodrome. The tone of the hallucinations is determined by the tone of the tape's imagery, and it just keeps going.

OSSIFRAGA SVAVIVM MEVM EST
Dedicated to Vulture Goddess Nekhbet, this episode flies on broad pinions through poetry to archival japery. Spy Emerson, Sarah Szczechowicz Goldie and Puzzling Evidence (the latter unheard, but present) take up temporary residence in the Studio, while the action at Bruno's down below registers as boiling hot. Past, future and present impossible worlds that never were are featured. Music of Susumu Yokota, Alyssa B. Osborne and the Andrews Sisters with Bing Crosby, among others. Nekhbet, great one, Goddess of the Upper Kingdom, have favor upon your humble supplicant and make the desire of his heart come into being. Feast on the liver of my doubts and fears; let me love unselfishly in the shelter of your wings. With Wadjet thy Companion, I beseech thy mercy as well, O other Netby, She of the Two Ladies! Without thy help my soul will be devoured, Noble Ones. In art, Nekhbet was depicted as a vulture, according to some a Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus), though Arielle P. Kozloff opines that the Vultures seen in New Kingdom art images, better resemble the blue-tipped beaked, loose skinned Nubian Lappet-Faced Vulture (Torgos tracheliotos)... This show is also for one of the Muu, the lovely priestess in her robe of Egyptian vulture feathers. We hope she likes it. And now, into the broiling Desert for the next two or three shows... Again, this Show is followed by Puzzling Evidentiary K-Robbery of indefinite length.
