The Happy Holistic Show
From Irish Roleplaying and Gaming Wiki
A radio show that was broadcast on FLIRT Fm 105.6FM , the campus radio station of the National University of Ireland, Galway. Which is in Ireland by the way. The Show was founded by some of the core members of NUI Galway Fansci Society and was used by them to channel a lot of the weirdness that spilled over from that society.
Definitely the whacked out younger sibling of The Fansci Books Show.
The show went out at five o'clock GMT ( Galway Mean Time ) on friday. Due to the fact that the founding members found that life tends to lead you to strange parts of the world the show has taken a career break.
The intent of this page is to give a brief description of what has been described as the 'strangest show ever on the station' and other such high praises from such people as Fiona McNulty, Station manager '96-'98, and Donal Fallon, another station stalwart.

The Cast
Priest of Holiscism, founder of dissent against The Italian Hour of Power(IHoP), changes identity a lot at whim. Knows a lot about truth and lies, particularly those pertaining to insects. See Bees (regular & time), Japanese Hornets, Egypt, The Pope.
Former technician/straight man. Still supported IHoP overthrow from beginning. Now certifiably insane. See David Duchovny, Vinegar, Nine Inch Nails, Spiracles, Random Scientific Fact, Bobo
The new OFFICIAL third presenter!!!! May have invented Humaning and the invasion of Russia by a plague of Giants. See also Slipper the Wonder Footwear.
Not a straight man, still a victim ( see Oxford English Dictionary ). Turns up and is subjected to 'Spotting the truth', 'Learning with Alan' and the other, far more popular slot 'Abuse'. Has been sort of well sacked . See also Goths
Some bloke. Subs for Charles really occasionally. Typed all this *"#$%. See also Audience, Abuse

Essential Concepts
'The Stuff'
Being just some of the many kinds of stuff available in these more enlightened days, as compared to say, the 10 kinds of stuff in Roman Times or the few hundred in the Dark Ages. There are now millions of kinds of stuff, mostly owned by the Japanese. See also Japanese Hornets
'Fractal Thermometers'
What do they do? Who knows?
'The Pope'
Well known benovolent geezer. Quite Famous indeed, owns his own state. A lot of people attach some kind of significance to him ( especially Charles ) See also : Charles, Anti-Pope
'Alan-in-a-Box'
An early and now mainly discarded theory of holiscism. Alan became a box. 'Nuff said. See also : Schrodingers wave O'Laoighaire, Kafka Wombat Fatso Weasel.. oh, I give up,

'Chuck Knoblauch'
Highest hitter for the New York Yankees, for the spring season 1998. Also behind the question posed by Charles 'What exactly is a Knoblauch?'
'Robert Oppenheimer'
Found atomic bomb while in search of Spo ( see lost elements ) original phrase would have been 'I have become Spo, destroyer of Women' . See also : Hotdogs
Cold blooded Murder
Reptiles that murder people. Yes. You read that correctly. I said reptiles that murder people. These cold blooded killers are everywhere (except perhaps the Artic and Antartic regions. Possibly the Tundra as well but no one REALLY knows.) Have you ever wondered what happened to J.F.K or Jimmy Hoffa ? Wonder no more!!! A little known fact is that Lee Harvey Oswald was once seen talking to an Iguana while on holiday in Cuba. (See: WORLD WAR TWO)
Audio
Several of the shows survive on audio tape and are being cleaned up and transferred to digital media. They may be available to listen to later.
