Here's something I was thinking about when it hit me that I have done almost fifty episodes of this weird "indiepop a to z" series: what percentage of the total shows I have done are these episodes?
At one time I tried to keep a count of the number of Self Help Radio shows I've done. That was something I was usually too lazy to update, but once I added a "table of contents" (really, a list of the shows) to my website, it became easier for me. Using a line counting function in BBEdit, I have a rough number: 716 shows.
Please understand, these are not 716 different themes - I have repeated themes, like Christmas & Halloween shows, & I re-visit a theme on the show's anniversary. But it does mean around 716 different episodes of Self Help Radio.
Is that number correct? Probably not, but it's a decent ballpark estimate. In the thirteen & half years I've done Self Help Radio, it makes sense that I would've done around 700 shows. I imagine I've done around forty-eight shows a year, counting time off. Some years more, some less. Sometimes I've had to take breaks because I've changed stations or cities. That happens.
The math gets easier, then: fifty indiepop a to z shows out of seven hundred shows equals about seven percent of Self Help Radio shows. Probably less, but it's a nice number.
Should I do more? Maybe every three months instead of four? Because, you know, at this rate, I'll never finish.
Heck, tomorrow I won't finish the letter L!
