According to the Wikipedia, nepotism is "favoritism granted in politics or business to relatives. The term originated with the assignment of nephews to cardinal positions by Catholic popes & bishops. Nepotism is found in the fields of politics, entertainment, business, & religion."
Can I add - radio?
But wait! Is it nepotism if a radio show is promoting itself? Isn't a radio show its own promotion? Do I have to coin a new word: autonepotism?
Perhaps. But probably not. One person (perhaps the only person ever) who has listened to Self Help Radio has commented (one imagines), "At least 50% of the show is music I think, which means it's not always the Gary show. Which could also be called 'the World Of Self Help Radio'!"
Indeed, this seems to be a naked ploy to make the show entirely about Self Help Radio. It's a scandal & it's a disgrace.
& I am writing this as someone - indeed, the only one - involved in the show. If I am offended, who is to blame? Who made the decision, if not me, to have a show entirely about itself? & if there is no one to whom I answer, who besides me exists to stop me from promoting Self Help Radio inside an episode of Self Help Radio?
Tomorrow, in the blog, I talk to a radio show lawyer about what options I can take against myself & my show to stop this travesty from happening.
(P.S. Is a radio show lawyer a lawyer who appears on a radio show or, as I am beginning to suspect, a person who pretends to be a lawyer on the radio?)
