Barefoot Redneck Incest
I was talking to a Kentuckian about Kentucky today & she asked me what words I thought about when I thought about "Kentucky."
I said, bourbon. I said, hillbillies. I said, coal. I said, bluegrass music.
She obviously had something else on her mind; perhaps she was thinking about outsiders like myself who have the wrong idea about Kentucky. She said, "I'm so tired of people who think of Kentucky & all they think about is barefoot redneck incest."
I said, "That sounds like the worst title for a porn video ever." But she was not amused.

For Shame!
Perhaps I'm being shameless, but I felt no shame doing Self Help Radio's first regularly scheduled two hour show in almost six years. I had previously believed someone would shame the WRFL management for letting it happen, but despite the shame being on them, they stuck to their decision. I soldier on shamefacedly.
Two hours! There's so much shame in one hundred & twenty minutes you might not want to get involved! The show is now at the Self Help Radio website, but I'll understand if you're too ashamed to be seen around there. You can download each of two parts with these links: part one | part two . No one will ever know.

Whither Shame?
Can you listen to Self Help Radio tomorrow? It'll be the first two-hour Self Help Radio since - gosh! 2006! When I went from Wednesdays to Fridays & lost a half-hour. That was in Austin, though. This is Lexington. There's more room for a show like Self Help Radio to grow!
Anyway, it's from 7 to 9am (it's weird not to write 7:30) & it would be a shame if you missed it. Of course, it'll be a shame if you listen, since it's a show about shame, but that's the nature of the strange theme-based contradictions in your average Self Help Radio show.
You can listen in Lexington at 88.1 on your FM dial, or you can listen online at WRFL dot FM. Shame on you for not listening live! But I understand, it's early - I will shamefacedly place the show on the Self Help Radio website.
For shame!
Really, it's all for shame.
