Self Help Radio 012621: A Private Show

(Original image here.)

Revealed at last!  A private radio show made public!  Wait.  Is was public all along?  That's how radio works?  That makes no sense.  How could a private radio show be public?  It's all just crazy talk.  What I know now is that this week's Self Help Radio was a private show, & it's now available to the public.  Unexpectedly!  Shockingly!  Distressingly!

You can listen to the show now at the Self Help Radio website.  To make it still seem a little private, you'll need a username & a password, but those are SHR + selfhelp respectively so it's not like it's a private club or anything.  You wouldn't want to be a member anyway.  What happens on the show is below.

Consider your privacy respected.  Consider the show's privacy violated.
