Ah, what a memorable night! The fifteenth anniversary of Self Help Radio! The wine flowed! The music played! There was laughter, joy, merriment! I sure wish I could remember any of it.
You see, while everyone was celebrating, I was busy playing the songs & conducting the interviews, & making sure everything went smoothly so we could have fifteen more years of the show. (Which means I'll be almost sixty-five when that happens - I think we can all agree it might be better to have died in World War III instead of that.)
Still, one hopes everyone had a nice time, & if you are one who did not, because you couldn't attend, you're in luck! Because the show was captured for posterity & now is available for your listening pleasure at your listening leisure.
It's at the Self Help Radio website & you can access it if you know the username (SHR) & the password (selfhelp) that is also available on the website. It's in two almost-equal parts (roughly an hour each) & what's in the parts - including the interviews - is noted below.
But I'm glad these anniversaries only happen once a year. They are sure exhausting. What? That's the definition of an anniversary? Oh. Well. You don't have to be so snotty about it. Sheesh.
