(Self Help Radio is a star! Well, a neutron star. Spinning very fast. Original image here.)
You already knew what a pulse was. Maybe not the "lentil" meaning, but you understood it was a beat or a throb. Perhaps you've checked your pulse before, or enjoyed dancing to pulsing electronical music. This week's Self Help Radio didn't just want to tell you what a pulse was, but to show you all the different dimensions of pulse. Did we succeed? Isn't it weird when questions are asked in writing? You know the writer is going to answer in the affirmative. It's a lame rhetorical device utilized by the lazy scribbler trying to hammer a point home without demonstrating his or her absolute lack of skill? It's infuriating. That being said, did we succeed? Oh yes.
The show today featured a poet, a scientist (or sorts), a motivational speaker, & the founder of the alternative health craze called Pulsology. There were lots of pulsing songs &/or songs about pulse. At one point during the show, I myself took my pulse & had to check WebMD. That's not on the air, though. Thankfully. That was not gripping radio. Just me gripping my wrist & thinking I might pass out.
The show can be listened to as readily as a pulse at the Self Help Radio website. Remember, you'll need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) to listen. Anyone with a pulse is welcome! Please no ghosts. You haven't quite figured out computers & for some reason every time you touch the website, it fills with viruses. The show is two hours long, & what happened on the show - songs & talk - is listed below.
Enjoy pulsing!
