Self Help Radio is not a self-help radio show. It might be something worse.

Each week host Gary explores a different theme with music & with talk. Guests are silly. The music is eclectic. It's kind of a mess.

Shows are archived here & also at the Self Help Radio website. There's a blog. There's Bluesky. There's Facebook.

Upcoming themes are on the website. Send ideas for those shows or themes to explore at gary at self help radio dot net or by text 971-319-4847.

It's common knowledge that Self Help Radio is often not a good radio show, but for this episode at least, it's good enough. Semantics! Please note: the last hour of this program is an episode of Corporate Standardized Programming in which I play lots of new releases. Read more

Every episode of Self Help Radio feels a little like an emergency; this is the first one that focuses on that topic specifically. Lots of dumb mistakes but nothing really qualifying as an emergency. Interviews, music, all about emergency in some way shape or form. In cas... Read more
