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.

Every four months, Self Help Radio returns to an alphabetical list of musicians who fall under the umbrella of "indiepop" (you may read a definiton here). Perhaps we'll never finish. We're in the letter P! We play not just indiepop artists but also music that influenced i... Read more

In honor of the KBOO Spring Membership Drive, which has been dubbed "the Hive Drive" & which uses delightful bee + spring imagery, Self Help Radio this week had a show about bees. In addition to lots & lots of bee songs, we talked to a scientist who thinks we can replace b... Read more

A radio show for the outlaw inside of us all. Though law-abiding (mostly) we thrill to the exploits of Robin Hood, to the excitement of Jesse James, to the doomed, destructive love of Bonnie & Clyde. That's what this show is about: the vicarious bad guy inside of us all. ... Read more

How does on approach a terrible subject like drowning? Do you mention that 236,000 people die a year from drowning, according to the WHO? That it affects children, males, & those who have greater access to water the most? Or do you mention that "drowning" as a definition... Read more

Self Help Radio was two different shows this week. The first explored songs about what artists thought were the saddest things: saddest songs, saddest stories, even saddest snacks. During that section, we talked to a columnist who writes about the saddest things he sees; ... Read more

The sign next to this paragraph, in a picture I took many moons ago in Texas, conveys what I think is too much information. It has the unenviable task of telling you that not only is the "express lane" coming up, but it's coming up pretty soon, & we know that because it's ... Read more

Ginger can be an edible (delicious) root. It can be a name or nickname. It can be a term for a red-haired person. It can be more?!? This week's Self Help Radio explores all the ginger it can, featuring lots of music about all kindsa gingers, plus an interview with a diviner... Read more

Self Help Radio found a safe harbor at KBOO when it arrived in Portland. This chilly Tuesday morning the show explored all different kinds of harbors. In addition to much music about those places where the ships dock, there's also discussions: with a cartographer who doesn'... Read more

The world's in a tangle. Maybe playing lots of songs about tangled things & being tangled up will help untangle it. But probably not. Hopefully there are great tunes & only a small amount of the regular silliness. Note on the image manipulated here: "Tangled technology" ... Read more

According to this website, there are a few species of cricket which live in Oregon. Chances are it's too cold for them to be around in February, so we hope they were inside when Self Help Radio made a radio show about them. In addition to lots of music about crickets - mor... Read more
