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

10/15/25 Show 281 : Take A Bite Out Of Criminally Overpriced Reissues

Gerard Cosloy Season 6 Episode 20

so none of my so-called friends thought it was worth mentioning that the National Crime Prevention Council’s ill-advised 1988 cassette, ‘McGruff’s Smart Kids Album’ had recently been reissued on multiple formats by some enterprising record label and all available copies are G O N E. On the endless list of things going wrong near and far, this probably ranks rather low when it comes to issues to be massively upset over. But as you have probably learned by now, with the possible exception of Pat Riley when he was still young enough to have Kurt Russell and Michael Douglas emulate him in mainstream films, no one knows how to manufacture outrage like me. 

So here we are — another two hours of highly manufacture outrage, as pathetic as it is performative, with occasional (well, 117 minutes) musical interludes. Not playing anything from ‘McGruff’s Smart Kids’ this time because I’m NOT FUCKING YOO TOOB (and I’m still mad, outraged, even).
