Whither Illusions?

(An illusion from here.)

The first people to dream of radio waves thought they were a kind of magical illusion.  & they were not wrong!  Every new scientific thing is a form of magic - until of course it isn't.  Which is not why Self Help Radio this week is about illusions.

Is it because, as Buddhists believe, this world is an illusion?  In many ways, I'm much more Buddhist than any other religion out there, but even so, no.  No, the show is not about illusion because I am trying to secretly make you listen to Buddhist teachings.  As if anyone could ever associate me with the word "teachings"!

The reason the show is about illusion will be revealed at some point during the show - which happens tomorrow morning (that's Monday the 21st) from 6 to 8am Portland time on Freeform Portland (online at freeform portland dot org) - it will be revealed that all seventeen years of Self Help Radio have all been an illusion!

The greatest illusion ever perpetrated on radio!

Or maybe it won't.  I kinda like this illusion.  We'll see.  Or hear.  Whatever.
