Self Help Radio 072020: One Thousand


Radio shows about numbers can be kinda lame.  I wonder how many numbers Self Help Radio has explored?  I seem to remember zero.  & there was nine.  It feels like recently I did a show on the number seventeen (though it was over two years ago now).  Also, one hundred.  Does it count if I focused on a single number like one million miles?  It doesn't?  Ah well.

This lame radio show focuses on the number one thousand.  Not one thousand of any particular thing, just, you know, one thousand.  Here's something I just realized: I don't think I said the word "millennia" once during the show.  How about that.  I might have, but I don't recall.  I wasn't really listening, though.

Should you want to listen - there are almost certainly a thousand reasons not to - you can do so at Self Help Radio's website.  You'll only need two bits of information to hear the show: a username, which is SHR, & a password, which is selfhelp.  You can see what happens on the show, songs & interviews, below.

As always: a thousand apologies.
