Now that all the Halloween stuff is over - did you notice there's a new Self Help Radio this week? That I haven't been talking about at all? Because it was Halloween week? Well, there is!
When I started this particular recurring segment of the blog, "Whither [the week's theme]?", I envisioned a deep discussion about what that week's particular topic was. Very quickly I realized that sometimes the reason for a show is dumb & banal. In fact, there are probably only a small range of reasons, from someone suggesting the theme to something topical related to the date (as the next month will show - I'll be doing my favorites of the year & my Christmas show in December).
A very common reason for the show is just that I might be listening to a lot of songs & wow, I realize that there are similarities. This happened for the "one day" show. It's a coincidence, of course - I'm sure there are always similarities & I just never notice them. But when I do notice them, I have to decide whether it'd made a good show or not. "One Day" did that one day a few months ago. & now it's a radio show.
Not terribly interesting, I know, but I kinda like these "Whither...?" posts. One day maybe I'll have a fascinating story, possibly related to an adventure, where something extraordinary birthed a radio program. For now, though, the reasons are mostly boring.
It might still be a good show though! You can listen tonight from 9-11pm eastern on 93.9 fm WLXU in Lexington & online at Lexington Community Radio's website. Lots of music (including a song written for the show!), silly interviews, & me struggling to say something about the theme. In other words: the regular thing.
