Self Help Radio 110320: Rings

(Image of Saturn's rings from here.)

Self Help Radio has never felt more irrelevant than yesterday's show appearing during a fucked-up election.  But what else can a deejay do?  I generally put the show up after it airs.  It aired in the morning before polling places opened.  At the very least I'm glad that I didn't do an election-themed show.

Anyway, I have very little to say.  I hope I made a fun show.  It continues to be challenging to fill three hours.  My preference would be to do two, but what can I do with the third hour?  Perhaps you have an idea.  Let me know.  Meanwhile.

The show is at the Self Help Radio website now.  Remember username SHR & password selfhelp.  Lots of people helped, lots of songs were played, all that info is below.  I'm going to return now to my anxiety attack.
