(Most all these Frank, Franklin, & Frankie images from Wikipedia.)
At long last! Finally! Once & for all! The promised show about people named Frank.
Check this: in addition to twenty-nine (29!) songs about Franks - & Frankies & Franklins - there are interviews with four different Franks on this show! It is a veritable treasure trove of Frankness. A priceless hoard of Frankitude. Truly a bonanza of Frankality. A treasury of Franktion. There's frankly too much Frank, if you ask me. But you didn't ask me! You want to be drowned in as much Frank as possible!
& so it shall be done. You can listen to the Self Help Radio Frank show at the Self Help Radio website. You will need a username & a password - neither, alas, are "frank" - it's SHR & selfhelp. The parade of all things Frank is listed below!
What a good day to be a Frank!
