Whither The Police?
As I've mentioned, I am out the door & off to LA, but young Jackman Ochs will be helming SHR today. Be sure to listen from 4 to 6 pm on 88.1 fm in Lexington or online at <a href="http://wrfl.fm">wrfl.fm</a>!

Preface To The Police: Is It Illegal To Have A Twitter Account, Officer?
I have a Twitter account. It's this one: https://twitter.com/SelfHelpRadio/. I wish I could tell you it's funny or interesting. Mainly I announce when I am having a show. Or when a show is available to listen to if one missed it.
Sometimes, though, I'm mildly amusing.
For example, I twittered today, "I think the number one reason I don't like karaoke is that it reminds me of how terrible most people's taste in music is."
I wish I could be that insightful most of the time. I'm not.
I look forward to listening to Jackman doing Self Help Radio. I don't look forward to tomorrow's plane flight. I don't like flying. It reminds me how far away everything is. & if everything is far away, how far away am I from my animals?
Too far, if I am not with them. Too far.

Is It A Self Help Radio Without Gary Even If It's Still Self Help Radio (But Without Gary)?
It's true. I won't be doing Self Help Radio this week. But I've asked a precocious RFL programmer named Jackman to handle the show. & he says he'll do Self Help Radio! Yippee!
He said he'll do a show about the police. That made me suspicious. What if he's an undercover cop? An undercover cop would find lots of crime at WRFL. First off, there's a buttload of perjury. We're always perjuring ourselves. I've also seen deejays jaywalk (deejaywalk?) through the on-air room dozens of times. & I won't even start with all the sedition. If it's not sedition in the morning, it's sedition all night long. It's terrible.
But wait! What if he wants to do a show about the police because of his own numerous encounters with officers of the law? I'll bet he has a rap sheet as long as my longest arm! (My arms are of two different lengths. Don't ask.) He's a shifty type - probably a career criminal - oh no! What if he's trying to steal my show?
Damn it! I have to listen now to find out!
