From the tenor of Joe's voice and the style of the sound mix, it sounds to me like a fairly early program. There are a few moments where Joe slips on a word and then continues, and the background music is sparse and looping isn't obvious, which suggest that it may have been produced under unusual conditions. Was it broadcast live? Is it a demo-tape? A WBAI remnant? Or is it just another example of Joe doing something experimental and unlike everything else in his repertoire?

I suspect this program falls into the category of early works the author would prefer to be forgotten. It doesn't appear anywhere on Joe's official web site. Too bad though - you can really see Joe's development as an artist in progress here, particularly in sequence in part 3 involving the homosexual vegetarian monks killing a pig for their feast day.
