Self Help Radio 020320: Moths

(Original image here.)

First things first: my apologies to Freeform Portland.  Moths are by their nature gregarious creatures & when they heard there would be a radio show about them, well, some of them emerged from their cocoons early to swing by this morning.  & they partied.  Hard.  Some even stayed up past their lifespans.  It was a fluttery, dusty good time.

Because the show this week was about moths, those delightful Lepidopterans who are always second fiddle to the more glamorous butterflies.  Not today!  Moths were the stars of the show, & they partied from six to eight in the morning in a way someone not battling crippling alcohol addiction ever has.  I can't tell you the number of feelers I had to push away because, you know, I'm a happily married man.

Alas, much of the festivities were not captured on the radio, since the show is mainly music.  But you can perhaps hear a commotion in the background during airbreaks & at least one time a moth did a credible imitation of the deejay that follows Self Help Radio, Jaxxmaster Kevrock.  I honestly thought it was him!  Moths are so great.
