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

Because it"s really two hours long. Sometimes even longer. How long a musical journey would you go on without having replaced the windshield blades?

while preparing this week’s sbow, like many of you, I could not help but reflect on Shedeur Sanders’ precipitous free-fall thru the NFL Draft, with the projected early-round pick sliding thru rounds 1-5, then doing a complete nose dive thru the UFL Draft before finally being selected in 3rd round of the 2025 Arena Football League draft. Despite Sanders’ humiliation, this is an impressive achievement just the same given the AFL has been defunct since 2019. But Sanders’ difficult weekend ...

good morning dear friends much as been written this week about the passing of Pope Francis, in particular the unfortunate timing that saw his Holiness meeting with J.D. Vance just hours before expiring. It is probably the height of exaggeration to claim Vance’s was the last face Pope Francis saw, however it does poses the question, if you were near death, whose face would you like to be the last one you laid eyes upon before transitioning to the great beyond? I...

much has been written /meme’d over the past 48 hours about the successful efforts to send Katy Perry into outer space (and yes, she has returned safely, so you can all exhale, finally) and to some degree I can understand the public’s frustration. I’ve been petitioning FOR YEARS to send other performers to into outer space (not necessarily with a return ticket, it depends) and have received no response whatsoever from any of these private space travel firms. We’re never gonna know,...

it seems there’s a bit of a problem in that during the show from two weeks ago we had to ban someone from the EVR chat room for posting “White Lotus” spoilers. Then last week, we had to ban someone from posting “JAG” spoilers (here’s one - did you know that “JAG” is an acronym for “Judge Advocate General”?). I realize this seems like a slippery slope but if you want unfettered, free expression, maybe there’s another chat room for you on the dark web (hopefully one entirely ...

it's been a tough week already. Hello torpedo bats -- wouldn't everyone be happier if they were torpedo cats? Goodbye Val Kilmer, thanks for "Top Secret" (and perhaps to a lesser extent for driving not one, but 2 successive directors to distraction on "The Island Of Dr. Moreau"). Hello plans for a 2nd Sully From Godsmack autobiography (clearly the world's paper shortage resulted in vol. 1 being less than fully realized). In the midst of all this turbulence --- cultural...

given the show is a little long in the tooth, I thought it might be fun this to replay an older episode, perhaps one from the year 1925. The part that makes it confusing is that even 100 years ago i was a particularly well-versed time traveler (you’ve heard of Dr. Who? Well, now you’ve met Dr. What The Fuck). This week’s broadcast of a show from 1925 sounds unusually contemporary because I’d zapped myself into 2025 to pick out the repertoire. Needless to say, all of this century hopping has m...

good morning dear friends. If you’re like me, your social media has been chock-a-block with stories concerning a regional tech/influencer convention “reducing their footprint” in coming years and there’s no shortage of misinformed, self-styled experts willing to declare the entire endeavor deader than Deadsy. To which I say, PISH FUCKIN’ POSH. Did Tom Vu throw in the towel the first time he had a poor turnout at the Best Western? Did Marshall Applewhite take his ball a...

(above - a rare photo of the show's original studio, circa 2020) dear friends, welcome and thank you oh so much for being part of EPISODE 250 of The Radio Hour That Feels Like Two Hours. If you're like me, you're finding it difficult to put this particular broadcasting achievement --- 250 episodes! Not as many as 300! But more than 200! -- into proper perspective. How does it stack up against, say Brady Anderson's not-chemically-assisted-at-all 50 home runs in 1996?&n...

I think we can all agree this is way, way too much work to get the Central Intelligence Agency off the hook But yes, Lars' relationship with the fans is very, very special. If you can call suing them a very special relationship. Presently, many of us are in an equally special relationship with the United States of America, or perhaps one that is even more exploitative and corrosive. A "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For 'Re-Load' bumper sticker won't get you off the hook, either.

2025/02/27

Surely it is possible to eulogize a cultural icon with some measure of accuracy? Like many of you, I read the many tributes to the Roberta Flack and her unworldly talent last week and was troubled by how many of them (perhaps byproducts of A.I. or non-extant copy editing) credited her with the innovation of the flak jacket, as popularized by Houston’s Dan Pastorini. In fact, the flak jacket was invented by the late Byron Donzis (above), a lifelong Roberta Flack fan wh...

I would like to apologize in advance for my utter failure to mount a proper tribute to The Jam’s Rick Buckler on very short notice. Upon hearing news of Rick’s passing, I’d planned on playing the widely discussed “fan club” aka boot of ‘In The City’ solely featuring Buckler’s isolated drum tracks (‘Mo Rick, Mo Problems’) but either it’s gone missing or this place is an absolute tip (most likely the latter). I’d mentioned this on air and someone kindly offered to bring round their copy of the...

like nearly everyone else, I’ve had to endure countless on and offline “HOT TAKES” about Kendrick Lamar’s SB halftime show, it’s astonishing me this performance generated so much controversy compared to Burton Cummings’ appearance at the CFL Grey Cup nearly a quarter century ago. Have we already forgotten Cummings not only setting fire to a Canadian flag, but a Canadian flag that was wrapped over a basket of kittens? Sure, i bet a few of you were phoning talk radio to complain the...

There's an old cliche in the radio business --- you have forever to prepare your first show, but only a few hours to compile a memorial tribute to Rico Petroleum. OK, truth be told I had several hours but I had to walk the dog,, attend my jazzercise class, then visit my new neighbors with left over Pro Bowl Chili. This last step took a while because I had to explain what Pro Bowl Chili was (and there's much more of it left over now that they're no longer playing a proper, albeit zero defense ...

as you may or may not have heard, the Coca Cola Corporation has issued a recall order in Europe for several of their products (Coke Jr., Coke Edge, Fanta Medium, Tab CMD, Evil Sprite) due to what’s being called higher than usual levels of chlorate, a by-product of chlorine-based sanitizers. I don’t know, it seems like sanitizers are a good thing, right? Unlike Europe, here in the USA regulations are being shredded by the new administration and while this is almost enti...

The all-too-brutal circumstances that are coming to bear on so many of our friends and neighbors will likely make 2017-2021 look like a trial run and with that in mind, EVERY SEC...

so they ran a battery of tests on my head yesterday and I’m thrilled to report the results revealed NOTHING. You have no idea how many years I have waited to use that line. Even better, the MRI contraption made some glorious churning sounds, so much so that I contemplated asking the machine out for coffee to see if we could make a deal to release something. I know, you’re thinking “that’s not very funny” but keep an open mind, please. The MRI machine might lack the ch...

happy new year, dear friends. I know those of you who love being tyrannized by the calendar are prone to making wild resolutions this time of year. Maybe this is the year you finally jump out of an airplane (preferably with a parachute) Perhaps it’s time to try out a diet besides fudge, cheetos and colt .45? How about maybe limiting your screen time to something less than 22.5 hours a day? These all seem like wild, thoroughly unrealistic promises for any of you t...

much the way Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert’s scathing review of “Silent Night, Deadly Night” (1987, dir. Charles E. Sellier Jt.) ensured the film’s notoriety and commercial success, I sorely wish there was some august body, say, the Podcast Council or The Society For The Betterment of Streaming Radio Shows, that could do likewise for this week’s program. Inappropriate xmas tunes. Inappropriate tunes, period. Failure to suggest Forster & McLennan’s “Suicide At Home” was meant to ...

But even as we prepare to install Linda McMahon as the country's head of education (to be fair, Jim Hellwig was unavailable), I take some solace in knowing that you, the loyal listeners of this program,...
