Self Help Radio 030221: Lords & Ladies

(original image here)

Welcome to Self Help Radio Castle. We hope you understand you'll have to leave your subjects (servant & vassal) outside the moat, preferably in the stables.  Lords & ladies only.  We have our own staff who will take care of your every need.  A sumptuous radio feast has been prepared, & for three hours you will hear a celebration of all you are.  Because if there's one thing the nobility lack in history, it's attention.

Therefore please enjoy this week's Self Help Radio, which is about lords & ladies.  Sometimes specific ladies & lords, sometimes metaphorical lords & ladies.  What is important is that they are lords & ladies & not those of the lower, or "working," classes.  It's good to hear music & talk about one's betters.

The show is now at the Self Help Radio website.  For those of an aristocratic bent, the show is free to listen to; if you are not, it will ask you for a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp).  In addition to music, there were conversations & reports - the details are below.

More wine, dogsbody!
