Self Help Radio 101920: Swoon

(Original image here.)

Does music make you swoon?  What about music about swooning?  God lord, what will make you swoon?  Because all I got here is a radio show about swoon.

Detractors might say - not that Self Help Radio has detractors - but wow! can you imagine? Wouldn't it be awesome if the show had actual detractors! Anyway - hypothetically - detractors might say that swooning isn't necessarily something that can be objectively elicited.  One person's swoon is another person's shoulder shrug.  Still, perhaps a preponderance of swoon might actually result in a swoon; ergo, two hours of music & talk about swoon.

It's there for your scientific investigation at the Self Help Radio web page.  Please make sure you're sitting down or maybe that there's someone to catch you should you swoon.  You'll need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) to listen.  Also maybe some smelling salts?  A cup of hot tea?  A cold compress?  Preview what happens on the show below.

Alas, I must myself lie down now.
