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.

Every year around his birthday, Self Help Radio's host plays a selection of his favorite music from a certain year.  The first time there was a Self Help Radio on his birthday week - in 2003 (the show began in October 2002 in Austin, Texas) - he chose to play music from the... Read more

Self Help Radio 1/11/22: Logs

Airs at: Tue, 01/11/2022 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Yes, a radio show about logs.  Not something you were expecting, was it?  Outside of a few lumberjacks - maybe some loggers - & a few of those folks who drive those giant trucks that deliver the logs - who wants to hear a radio show about logs? We can't answer that, but we... Read more

Self Help Radio 1/4/22: A Handsome Show

Airs at: Tue, 01/04/2022 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
While it's quite normal for a theme-based radio show to focus on subjects that are nouns, which is to say, persons, places, or things, Self Help Radio often decides to focus on the often-ignored adjective.  In this spirit, we present to you a handsome show. Why not just sa... Read more

Christmas! Radio! Christmas radio show! The folks at Self Help Radio (well, there's only one, that Gary guy) believe every deejay is allowed one Christmas show a year.  No more!  & so one should make it count. With that in mind, in addition to many new Christmas & holiday s... Read more

Airs at: Tue, 12/14/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
This one's pretty self-explanatory.  Host Gary plays a selection of some of his favorite music of the year.  It's one of those "end of the year" things. Please note: it's not a "best of" list.  Gary doesn't believe anyone has the authority to decide what's best in subjects ... Read more

Self Help Radio 12/7/21: Echoes

Airs at: Tue, 12/07/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Radio depends on sound. Sound is reproduced from a source & emanates from your radio. An echo is a copy of a sound bounced back from something like a wall or a mountain. Is a radio wave therefore an echo? No, but radio waves echo. Echo is a function of sound. I see I've los... Read more

Airs at: Tue, 11/23/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Airports are dreary places. A kind of purgatory between leaving & arriving. With often inexplicable art & commerce. & people in various states of anxiety. Doesn't that sound perfect for a radio show? This week's Self Help Radio delves into airport culture with music & inte... Read more

They're a popular gift.  They're a way to show support for things you love.  They absorb your foot sweat.  You may be wearing a pair right now.  They are socks.  & it's about damn time they got a radio show. Self Help Radio this week highlight & even celebrates socks.  In a... Read more
