Yes, the same old thing. I'm unapologetic. One tries so hard, week in, week out, to make an exciting radio show that sometimes - naturally - one must decide to take the week off & give the listener "the same old thing." Does the listener care? Probably not - after all, what is the listener listening to? Self Help Radio! That shows a lack of discernment.
But I think the show, for all its numbing familiarity, went well. I interview radio personality Dr. David Fruchter, a staunch advocate for the same old thing. I talked to Mark Miller in Hollywood, who has spoken out against the same old thing in that industry. I got to talk to the Rev. Dr. Howard Gently, who had some wisdom about the same old thing to impart. Tania & Juan wrote a song for the show. & there's so much more - it's listed below. Oddly enough, music about the same old thing doesn't all sound the same. That's a head scratcher.
I am falling asleep as I write this. So I'd better tell you that the show is now at the Self Help Radio website. It's in two parts, & the songs in each part are specified below. Pay attention to password stuff. & if you can stomach it, listen to the last airbreak - I make an announcement there I won't make here till next week.
As always, thanks so much for listening!
