(The lamp in the picture comes from here.)
It gets darker earlier in Portland than in Texas, where last I lived. In fact, as the days shorten, it does I believe stay darker longer - maybe by as much as two hours! - than in Texas. That's amazing.
When I found this out, I thought, "By November, I'll be able to do an entire show in the dark." & while it may be true that that will happen before the solstice, I was wrong about November - sunrise was at around seven, half way through the show. (Though there was a light fog turning the world grey, which I appreciated.) This means that only half of the "in the dark" show was in the dark. The rest of it was, I suppose, your host's regular condition of being in the dark about most things.
It was also the first Self Help Radio during Freeform Portland's Fall Fundraiser. Because of the bare-bones nature of the place, I (with the help of deejay Kevrock) talked a lot on the air & begged for financial support but have no idea if anyone did donate any money. My suspicion is they did not. But I have no way to know. If you love the freedom of noncommercial radio, there simply isn't a better investment than Freeform Portland - I urge you to donate what you can to this feisty radio station - & if you mention Self Help Radio sent you, I'll be pleased.
As for this week's show: it's now at Self Help Radio dot net for you to listen to should you be so inclined. There aren't a lot of bells & whistles although friends of the show found a way to help out, you'll hear. Remember the username you'll use is SHR & the password you'll pass on is selfhelp. I hope you choose to help Freeform out. I owe them a debt of gratitude for hosting Self Help Radio.
