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.

*Sigh.* A show about sighing. Mainly music, a little poetry, way too many sighs. But what did you expect? During the show, a wonderful article about sighing is excerpted.  It's this one: "Why We Sigh" by Shayla Love on vice.com.  It's a lovely read. The creator of the orig... Read more

Produced for:  Self Help Radio
"Golden" may feel like a color but it's an adjective describing something that resembles a color - & much more!  It actually began life meaning "made of gold" - but there's so much more to the word these days.  You can live your golden years peacefully or you can take a gol... Read more

Produced for:  Self Help Radio
It's important to note at the outset that, despite that picture to the right (about which more later), this show was not about the musician Sting, but about things that sting - specially bees, since it's part of the theme of the KBOO Spring Membership Drive.  While we did t... Read more

As we continue into May with the Spring Membership Drive (click that "donate" button in the top right hand corner to help!), Self Help Radio offers another take on the "hive drive" premise: a show about honey. Not a show about the word "honey" as a term of endearment, or as... Read more

Every four months, Self Help Radio returns to an alphabetical list of musicians who fall under the umbrella of "indiepop" (you may read a definiton here).  Perhaps we'll never finish.  We're in the letter P! We play not just indiepop artists but also music that influenced i... Read more
