Yes, the first Self Help Radio on from 8-10am on Freeform was indeed "quite a show." Do not make a drinking game out of the foul-ups, bleeps, & blunders, or you'll have alcohol poisoning before the second hour begins. "Quite" as an adverb here can mean so many things, it's sweet if you assume it means something intensifying, as in "quite good," but more often than not, for this show anyway, it goes the other way: "that's not quite right."
Still, it was quite the time this morning, what with English computers interrupting, & old dissolute mentors calling in. There was music, poetry, secret call-ins, & I almost - almost! - revealed Masonic secrets that probably would've gotten me killed, if not audited.
You can listen now at Self Help Radio dot net. As always, it's quite inconvenient that you'll need to know a username & a password, but as usual it's SHR & selfhelp respectively. What happens on the show - which too two hours, quite a lot of time! - is listed below.
All right. That's quite enough for now.
