The Hour of Slack was a one-hour
radio program produced by the
Church of the SubGenius centering on the King of Slack,
J. R. "Bob" Dobbs. Reverend
Ivan Stang presented his own commentary, along with recorded material from all SubGenius radio and stage shows, bands, ranters, media barrage collage artists, and selections from the indie audio underground created by various SubGenii and others. 1,890 segments of this show had been broadcast before it was discontinued in June 2022. Most segments can now be listened to on the
Internet Archive. It is syndicated across North America, and weekly shows (and past segments) are available by mail. Originally created in
Dallas, TX for local radio station
KNON, the show now originates either in pre-recorded form from the Church of the SubGenius headquarters in
Cleveland Heights, OH, or occasionally performed live at WCSB-FM (both for broadcast and live MP3 stream) on the campus of
Cleveland State University. The show is also available as a podcast in iTunes
