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.

"Golden" may feel like a color but it's an adjective describing something that resembles a color - & much more! It actually began life meaning "made of gold" - but there's so much more to the word these days. You can live your golden years peacefully or you can take a ... Read more

The final show during the KBOO Spring Membership Drive - the "Hive Drive" - in which we've explored bees, honey, buzzing, & stinging - is simply about flowers. Those beautiful things which make Portland so lovely in the spring, & which give the bees something to do. If... Read more

It's important to note at the outset that, despite that picture to the right (about which more later), this show was not about the musician Sting, but about things that sting - specially bees, since it's part of the theme of the KBOO Spring Membership Drive. While we di... Read more
