Self Help Radio 081115: The Kitchen

(Original image here.)

Is the kitchen the most important room in the house?  Can you protect yourself from the dangers of the kitchen?  What will it take to convince you that tables can talk?  Are there really two hours of worth of songs about kitchens?

These are indeed questions.  Perhaps they are questions I asked myself before embarking on a radio program about the kitchen.  More likely however is that I tumbled headlong into such a venture without thinking about it at all.  No matter!  I believe those questions, & others sorta similar, are not only asked but answered on this week's Self Help Radio.

The kitchen!  Included with the songs is: a conversation with David Fruchter, host of the television program "The Home"; a poem written & read by poet Dale M. Smith; & an interview with a breakfast table.  The only thing that would have made this show better is pancakes.  Someone should've made pancakes!

The show is now at the Self Help Radio website.  It should be right at the top of the home page.  You'll need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) to listen to the show.  That information is also there.  What I played is there, as well, although I am listing it below too.  Basically, this whole blog thing is a redundancy.  I guess it keeps me busy.

Now do the dishes!
