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.

Noticing, as a deejay might, there were lots of songs called "Paralyzed," I decided that might be an interesting theme to cover. The songs of course usually use the word metaphorically, so any actual damage to one's nervous system is not discussed or covered in this sho... Read more
