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 perhaps germane to note that Self Help Radio existed many years before the show found its way to KBOO. It was on a few different stations in other places wherever host Gary happened to be. & it was in another place, in August of 2012, that Self Help Radio first explo... Read more

It's like two radio shows in one! The first hour is an interview with Adam Elk of the Mommyheads along with many Mommyheads tunes & four recordings he made just for the show. The last two hours finds Self Help Radio as the first radio show on the moon. It was cold & lonel... Read more

Yes, I know, it's a little pathetic to watch me pretend my show is important. I can't even pretend! Most everything I do is unimportant so naturally I wanted to call this "the unimportant show" though that would also be redundant. No, this show was important because I play... Read more

While I am a big fan of pretty electronica, this show was something of a cheat - I was out of town for the weekend & didn't have the time to be able to put together the regular Self Help Radio experience. IDM stands for "intelligent dance music" & the Wikipedia defines it a... Read more

Is it fair to consider a radio show to be "stoned"? But the show was entirely about stones! & there wasn't a geologist or petrologist to help! Lots of songs about stones, chosen from an impossible list - seriously, there were hundreds - so you may not hear your f... Read more

Hot on the heels of Mother's Day comes a show more informally for Mom. As explained in the show, host Gary lost his mother last year (that's her in the wedding photo there, lightly desecrated with the SHR logo), & a memorial hasn't been possible thanks to the pandemic. But ... Read more

Finally! A radio program you can wrapped yourself in to keep warm! Or is that fair? Are radio waves - or sound waves coming from your computer - enough to blanket you in the same way your favorite cover might? Yes, we're overselling a bit. But there's a comfort, surely, in ... Read more

Every four months of so, Self Help Radio returns to a series begun way back in 2005, when it was a young show on a station in Austin. It was an attempt to play in alphabetical order artists & bands who fit the genre definition of "indiepop" (the Wikipedia gets it right) pl... Read more

This was a fun episode. Lots of songs about Paris, a city I have only visited once, but boy did I like it there. I hope to go again. Plus I reconnected with an old friend who married a Frenchman & now lives in Paris. & I talked with an old friend who's Belgian who loves Pa... Read more

Could it be, after a year of pandemic, everything is now calm? No, that's just this radio show. It's mainly still chaos everywhere. This week on Self Help Radio we calmed the heck down & played tunes about things that are calm. Sometimes we included things that are cool.... Read more
