Self Help Radio is not a self-help radio show. The confusion is understandable. However, one may help oneself to a weekly examination of a particular theme featuring music, interviews with "experts," & quite possibly things that are "funny." It began in Austin, spent some time in Appalachia, & now gazes lovingly at the giant fir trees in Portland, Oregon. A fellow named Gary hosts it. It's a lot of hooey but sometimes the songs are good.  Find out more infomation about the show at its website, selfhelpradio.net.

It's time to go bananas!  Or go to someplace where it's okay to listen to a radio show about bananas, anyway. Too many songs about bananas plus we talk to a person named Bananas & to a person who's a fanatic about bananas, & also we talk about books about bananas & movies ... Read more

Self Help Radio 10/18/22: Paralyzed

Airs at: Tue, 10/18/2022 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Noticing, as a deejay might, there were lots of songs called "Paralyzed," I decided that might be an interesting theme to cover.  The songs of course usually use the word metaphorically, so any actual damage to one's nervous system is not discussed or covered in this show. ... Read more
