Self Help Radio 031621: Daggers

(original image here*)

No programmers were harmed in the making of this radio show about daggers.  Though it does depend on what is meant by "harmed."  Were daggers quite unsafely wielded, waved about, tossed, & playfully pointed at people in a "pretending to stab" manner?  Yes.  Did the sometime mishandling of the daggers result in nicks, cuts, slices, & in one unfortunate case, a small tip of finger removed?  Oh sure.  Was there enough blood to cause at least one person to feel woozy although not to downright faint?  Indeed.  But did anyone really feel harmed by any of it?  No, they did not!  Although getting sliced by a weapon with two sharp edges really stings!

But in the wee hours of the morning - or in the early hours of the dark of night - daggers were drawn on Self Help Radio, & songs were sung of daggers, & everyone felt quite ancient & in touch with our ancestors who carved daggers, who used them in the ritual as well as the hunt, & who quite frankly had as many accidents with them as we did on the show.  But did they feel "harmed"?  How dare you ask!

Please enjoy the show in either of two places: at its home on the KBOO web page, or at Self Help Radio dot net.  If you go to the Self Help Radio web page, remember that you'll need a username (which is SHR) & a password (which is selfhelp) to listen.  Lots of stuff happened on the show - the music & the other stuff is noted below.

Now to a station-mandated dagger safety class!
