Glue Banta is back for this live three-hour broadcast. We know he's back (we being The Others) because he's been sending cryptic postcards to a mailbox hidden in the Vermont woods. And his time in the "wilderness" has yielded some interesting questions, like: why aren't tardigrades more friendly and why are they so hard to see (got to be good-lookin?)? And, why do some bats look like professional wrestlers? Also, does Iggy Pop really drink coffee? All these questions will probably just lead to more questions, but never fear! Glue will give you all the clues you need to piece together what exactly it is you should be doing while waiting for it all to come crashing down. Tune in won't you?

Glue Banta has a lot of 'splaining to do. Like, how does he actually think he will achieve escape velocity from Planet Abu? Will his Zappos order arrive on time (before he leaves) and will they send him only the one shoe he needs? Does space food taste like algae or seaweed? Is his FTL drive science fiction or fact? In either case, how old will he be when he gets back to Earth? Will his radio slot still be available for him? Does duct tape actually work as advertised? Some of these questions may be asked, but none may be answered. What you can count on is Glue's cryptic way and sonically coded "show and tell." Tune in won't you and prepare for two hours of your life that you won't want back.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 59 -- SATURDAY 16 JANUARY 2016 -- 2PM EASTERN/1PM CENTRAL/11 PM PLANET ABU TIME
Do you have space fatigue? How's about freezer burn? Road rash? Peeling paint? Pink Eye? Chronic halitosis? If so, then tune in to The Distract and Disable Program #59 and feel it all melt away. We don't promise satisfaction, we guarantee it, or your money back. Well, actually there's no money. The show is free, but if you are not completely satisfied, then you can always try our Distract and Disable topical ointment. Just rub it in where it hurts and let the cream do the rest. Yes, it stings a bit at first, but if you blow on it, that seems to make it sting a bit less.

All the animals in one spaceship headed toward the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Will they make it? Will Glue hold together or be stretched out into an infinite plane. Only one way to find out. Tune in to The Distract and Disable Program today(!) and let it all sink in. You'll need to know what it's like as we are all fast approaching the event horizon.

Once in a while it is really important to just take a look into the eyes of another creature, even if that creature is terrifying, and even if you don't understand what is happening to you in that strange interval of frozen time in which you are somehow bound to this other being, looking deeply into the energy and soul of another living thing, wondering how it is experiencing the same moment, fleeting, intense, completely aware of only you as all else falls away in a pure life or death moment where seemingly nothing can break the spell of this engagement. Oh, and by the way, Distract and Disable is on again.
