Holy moley, I spent all day on this week's Self Help Radio. I really have no concept of time. But it was really fun - & a bit frustrating - putting it together. There were so many songs about wishes that I just couldn't get to them all. I bet I could have done four hours - & that was excluding songs about wishing wells, which I covered in a show about wells I did two years ago.
Not only that, the folks who pretend to be experts & get interviewed really brought their A game. I know that's a sportsball term which means they were at their best, but other than that I don't know exactly what an A game. Rest assured, what you get from me on the show is my regular C game. That might be too generous. C minus game.
If you wish to listen, the show is at the Self Help Radio website now or whenever you have a moment. Ha ha, all we have are moments these days. Too many moments. Remember, the username is SHR & the password is selfhelp. The show is exactly two hours long. Amazing! What happens on the show is listed below.
As you wish.
