Self Help Radio 081720: Nothing Left

(Original image here.)

Well.  There's nothing left of Self Help Radio.  Not after this show.

Please note, Self Help Radio is not comparing itself to devastation as that left after a natural disaster, or a human-made disaster like war, or the disaster of time, like the ruins of once-thriving cities.  No, the show just kinda feels that way.

What is there to do after such a feeling?  If there's nothing left, what can you do?  Unless - could it be?  Has the show been engaging in hyperbole?  What if there is, in fact, something left?  Maybe something was saved after nothing was left.  Or maybe - bear with me here - while we thought that there was nothing left, it turns that nothing left.  Something didn't leave.  Nothing left.  & frankly, nothing was holding Self Help Radio back.

Oh, wait.  That means there'll be another episode next week.  Fuck.

If you enjoy the sensation of experiencing nothing left, you may listen to this week's Self Help Radio now & anytime at the Self Help Radio website.  Please remember a username & a password will be needed - I suggest "SHR" for the former, "selfhelp" for the latter.  The show went a smidge over two hours, what happened on the show is listed below.

& now I have nothing left to write.
