(Who says it doesn't flood in Portland? Original image here.)
As someone who's still pretty anxious about the state of my country at the moment, I do want to acknowledge that it doesn't feel currently as much like a natural disaster as it could have been. Recently I spoke with someone who talked a great deal about magic & rituals & perhaps she would consider this show as a kind of ward I constructed to stave off such an eventuality. Nonetheless, playing on the radio for three hours, even with some harrowing stories about floods in history & songs about those floods, it kept me from being as fretful as I've been & for that I am grateful.
Three hours of radio still feels like a bit too long, but hopefully the show is fitting well into its new time slot. There certainly were a lot of songs about floods to sort through!
You can listen to the show now & anytime at the Self Help Radio website. You'll need a username - which is SHR - & a password - which is selfhelp - to listen. (If you'd prefer to hear the real-time recording of the show - I edited this stuff out - you can listen to it on the KBOO website - it includes material from the previous show & also some station spots.) The show is three long hours long long. What happens on the show is below.
Stay dry!
