06/22/22 Show 108 : The Show Must Go On (But No One Knows Precisely Why)

The Gerard Cosloy Radio Hour (That Feels Like Two Hours)

the heat’s been absolutely brutal in this part of the country over the past few weeks and with the launch of episode 108, I had to do something to address air conditioning issues in what i will optimistically call my “home studio”. Through a third party who shall remain nameless (OK, I forgot his name), arrangements were made to sublease a portion of Taylor, TX’s SST Superstore, however, upon arrival the space was occupied by an elderly couple, a half dozen or so feral dogs and several skids of Confront James overstock (which most worryingly, were an object of worship to the elderly couple). While there was some working electricity and a surprisingly strong WiFi signal, it was nearly impossible to complete the program with all of the barking and praying going on. And with that , in the words of another great American man of letters*, I GOT IN THE VAN and competed the show via cigarette lighter at about 5am this morning. Taylor, TX police ignored my helpful (if unwieldy) bumper sticker reading “IF THIS VAN’S A ROCKIN’, DON’T COME A KNOCKIN’ (AND I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT LISTENING TO DON DOKKEN, HE TOTALLY SUCKS)” and I hope to be out on bail later this afternoon (props to the surprising strong WiFi signal in this detention facility)
