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.

THE DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 61: AFTERBURNER -- LIVE IN THE WGXC ACRA STUDIO -- SATURDAY 21 MARCH 2020 -- 4-6 PM EDT

Afterburner. Some say it was ZZ Top's finest work. Other's know it was a documentary about space exploration in a chopped '33 Ford. The Eliminator it was called. What was it built to eliminate? How did a rock band from Texas get hold of it? Can you really have a long beard in space? Wouldn't it float up and cover your eyes? Oh, wait. They are from Houston. Now it all makes sense. Anyway, thankfully none of these questions will be answered on this, the latest edition of The Distract and Disable Program. Instead you will be happy to know that Glue becomes unlost AND finds his transmitter (it was right where he left it). And that the escape from Planet Abu is not all it's cracked up to be. Tune in, won't you? What else are you going to do? You can't go outside! Saturday 21 March 4-6 pm EDT. LIVE from the WGXC Transmission Arts Studio in Acra, NY -- 90.7 FM if you have a receiver handy.

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.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 58 -- SATURDAY 19 DECEMBER 2015 -- 2PM EASTERN/1PM CENTRAL/11 PM PLANET ABU TIME

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.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 57 -- SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2015 -- 2PM EASTERN/1PM CENTRAL/11 PM PLANET ABU TIME


It's not often that you hear from deep space, let alone from an event horizon. Likely you only hear once from a place like that, or else how can you even understand what you are hearing? Could this particular show be real? Could it be actually be emanating from such a place? Well, there's only one way to find out and that is to tune in. Oh, and as the host mentions, don't bring a watch. And as the host forgot to mention, it is OK to wear your moon boots, so long as you can do the funky chicken in them.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 56 -- SATURDAY 17 OCTOBER 2015 -- 2PM EASTERN/1PM CENTRAL/10 PM PLANET ABU TIME

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.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 55 -- SATURDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 2015 -- 2PM EASTERN/1PM CENTRAL/10 PM PLANET ABU TIME

This just cannot be good. This much exposure to EMR. Come on, man. The good news is that your radio sucks it all away from you like a vacuum. So you can lean in and get as close as you want. It's safe, we promise. Listen closely. Glue is back, well sort of. At least his signal is.
