In case you haven't heard - or you haven't read this blog - both KBOO & Freeform Portland have closed their studios for the time being in response to the coronavirus. This means I won't be able to do Self Help Radio this week or perhaps for several weeks. (But you know me - I'll probably make a podcast next week. The reason I didn't do it this week is because I was waiting to hear what the plan was for prerecords or other broadcast options, & I just got the news this morning. Not enough time, alas, to make a podcast.) Okay, most of this post is parenthetical. That's bad writing, right there.
Yes, this is disappointing but I am 100% behind the decision at Freeform. The news we get from the rest of the world is a horror story, & everyone is advising us to act as if we're already infected & that means not infecting anyone else. That's a good idea & I am proud of the decisive action taken at both stations. (I will have a prerecord of the Dickenbock Report for the week after next, although I'm not sure if it will air at its regular time at this point.)
This is a bummer but eventually this virus will be contained & we can go back to whatever semblance of normal is left. I myself have been a bit depressed about it all but will do what I can to help. I'll keep you apprised of any radio appearances I may have & most probably (like I said) will make a Self Help Radio podcast in a week.
Please take care of yourselves.
