Why would you think that? Is it because of that Bob Dylan show? He would never do a show with a theme like "one way"! He picked general themes like "cars" or "homes" or "family" or "Bob Dylan"! Why can't Self Help Radio be like that? Why not do a show about something that's tangible, that's a thing, that makes some kind of sense, that there are songs that we will know about & you will have to play?
Seriously, dude. "One Way"? All I can think about is that Blondie song. That's it.
What just happened? I started out with one voice & ended up with another. I think I liked the complainer's voice better than my own explainer voice. Anyway, it doesn't matter - no one really cares what theme I pick & very rarely is anyone excited by a theme. Which is cool - I don't mind the anonymity.
One thing that does happen from time-to-time is that a person will call & say, "I hear you're looking for songs about [today's theme]." I am happy when someone makes suggestions or requests a song, but it's weird to think that they'd be listening to a radio show & think, "That deejay is doing a show about [whatever subject], but of course they wouldn't have brought enough music about [whatever subject] to fill their allotted two hours, but, luckily, hey! Me to the rescue!"
I'm never insulted or anything, but I wonder if that's happened enough to the average RFL listener that they've heard a deejay say, "I wanted to do a show about [something], but I don't have enough songs!"
It's possible. It's just not something I'd ever do!
