Here's this week's show, a (hopefully) fascinating collection of songs about fascination.
Apologies again for its lateness. I was in Dallas doing radio this morning, & although it doesn't appear that way, I do spend a bit of time putting finishing touches on the program, so the two hours I was on the air (& the time commuting, in morning drive time traffic) really did cut into the amount of tender loving carelessness I put into each episode of SHR. I was super hungry when I got home & also I took an hour nap. So I could be writing this earlier, but I really needed the nap. Even though an hour nap in general is useless, like a sip of water to someone dying of thirst. Not to be melodramatic about it. I know naps help other people. It's just for me, it's gotta be two hours or else I'm not going to get any benefit from it in any way.
Sorry. I got carried away there. I hope you dig the show. There's plenty of music I enjoy (so maybe you will too) as well as interviews with a perfume maker (whose new scent is called, of course, Fascination) & with a traveling writer, whose "Fascinating Travel" series I discovered when I read his book Fascinating Kentucky. Hey! I'm trying to fascinate you here!
Listen now at Self Help Radio dot net. Remember there's a password & a username, that's on the website, in the big block of text at the top, I think I even bolded it to make it easier for you. The songs I play are below. Plus the interviews. I hope you find it fascinating.
