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 Twitter. 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.

What a lovely place Death Valley is. Certainly worthy of a radio show. Enjoy lots of songs & a few goofy interviews, as well as some poetry. Just be safe out there. It gets hot. A recording of the show is not currently available on this website, but you can listen to this ... Read more

It's a radio show about a favorite fruit the world over! Lots of mango songs + I talk to a fruit inspector, to a chef, & to a mango booster. A messy couple of hours but luckily not nearly as messy as eating a mango! While the KBOO page undergoes maintenance, you can listen to... Read more

Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Wait, the theme of this show is "drain"? Not "drains" or "draining"? Just "drain"? Yes, that's the theme because it's not just about drains. It's about the word "drain" in all its forms. It's clunky but what else is a theme-based radio show supposed to do? Lots of songs h... Read more
