Self Help Radio 081020: Zebras

(Original image from here.)

Seven out of twelve zebras agree: today's Self Help Radio was a fair & accurate description of zebras & worth the time of any zebra or zebra lover should they wish to listen to a radio show about zebras.  I want to point out I only asked twelve zebras because I only know twelve zebras, & it's safe to say that Miranda & Jennifer really don't like me so they were going to say they hated the show no matter what.  However, Homer has generally been honest with me despite thinking me insipid, so I should think his opinion counts for more than, say, Ted-Bob's or Hoofer's, since they've been enthusiastic supporters since we've met.  But seriously, it's hard to get seven zebras to agree to anything these days, if you must know, except "biting flies fucking suck" & "yeah, that's a lion, let's get the hell out of here."

So I'm feeling pretty good about this show, which aired this morning from 8-10am on Freeform Portland.  It's very happily resting now at the Self Help Radio website which you can listen to it any old time.  
Maybe now?  Okay, whatever.  Just remember you need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) to access that or any other file.  The show is two hours long, & what happened on the show is written below.

Miranda & Jennifer says, "If you like this show, you hate zebras."  Why do they despise me so?
