If it isn't already obvious, I'm a science fiction nerd. Not all science fiction nerds are Star Trek nerds, but my Venn diagram shows definite overlap there. I am not a big enough Star Trek nerd that I watch Star Trek all the time - it's been a while since I've watched an entire episode I've seen before - but I do occasionally, usually when I am cooking, watch fellow nerds on YouTube review Star Trek episodes. & recently after one ended, there was a video about Deep Space Nine that showed its introduction.
If you haven't seen Deep Space Nine, well, I recommend it - it's my favorite Star Trek series. It's about a space station near a stable wormhole. & I know what you're thinking Gary! A black hole isn't a wormhole! I understand that. But I got to looking for songs about black holes anyway & then... tonight's show started to take shape.
There were far more songs about black holes - some of them about literal holes, not astronomical ones - than about wormholes.
That's what's happening tonight on Self Help Radio on KBOO. Midnight to 2am on 90.7fm in Portland & online at kboo dot fm. I'll try to keep the nerdiness to a minimum but seriously no promises.
