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.

Here it is! The last Self Help Radio on KBOO (for now)! A more clever programmer would have put together a more-self-helpful outing with the theme "instant radio show." Since it's just me, dumb ol' Gary, behind the mic, it's a lot of songs that use the word "instant." In... Read more

The show you wish you could run away from presents a show about runaways. Mainly metaphorical. It's hard to sing songs about runaways! They can be going through some terrible things! Among the other nonsense on the show, I talk to our resident cinephile, Chuck, about fi... Read more

For this very hastily-assembled program (it certainly has no frills), I gathered a bunch of songs that use some form of the verb "adore" - adoration, adoring, adorable among them. It wasn't too clever but I was gone all weekend & didn't have a great deal of time to do lo... Read more

First of all - sorry for the rough start to the show! I probably pushed some buttons wrong so there's a little dead air & some confusion until I figured it out. I thought about editing the audio so it didn't exist but it's a reminder of the fun of live radio, & the fact ... Read more

If you heard nothing on the radio late Monday night/early Tuesday, you heard Self Help Radio. All the show broadcast was nothing. Actually, that's untrue - the KBOO automation glitched & only one-sixth of the show aired. Which is fine. It was better than nothing. I have ... Read more

A radio show about greed! But not a greedy show - it didn't go beyond its alloted time. What it did do is play lots of songs about greed, talked to several people - the daughter of the greediest man in America, an ethicist who studies greed, & a writer who writes of the... Read more
