Self Help Radio 041323: Options

(it's at least one of your options)

As usual, you had the option to listen to this week's show, which had the theme "options," when it aired at its regular timeslot, Thursdays noon to 2pm on Freeform Portland. Almost certainly you did not avail yourself of that option. As was your right.

But then you heard that in addition to the music, I talked to a psychologist about option paralysis! to a retired General who wrote a book called "Failure Is Not An Option"! to a fellow opening a club in town called Options! & to a game show host trying to sell a game show called Options! Maybe you thought, I might have enjoyed that. In case you did - & sure, you didn't, but in case you did - you now have the option of listening to the show any time you want.

It's at the Self Help Radio website. You'll need a username & password to listen - that's SHR & selfhelp respectively. Every song I played & the interviews are listed below, so you have the option to skip around to what you want to listen to.

Aren't options great?
