Self Help Radio 112222: Bananas

Well we certainly hope you'll go bananas for this show! We might have let it slip that there are a bunch of banana songs on today's show.  Maybe that appeals to you?  If not, better split now!

So many songs, a few interviews, some dire news about the banana's fate - it's not the sort of show you'd slice up & put in your cornflakes, but it should sweeten your day.

You can listen to it when you feel it's ripe in two places: at the KBOO website or at the Self Help Radio website.  If you choose the show's website, you'll need a username & a password - they are SHR & selfhelp - & you can download the show!

Everything that happens is below.  Hopefully you don't find it green - we wanted the show to be bright yellow with brown flecks!
