Self Help Radio 050421: Blankets

(original image here.*)

What a comforting show that was.  No, really!  As one listener texted, "thanks for the very cozy show."  & shouldn't radio in the middle of the night be somewhat cozy?

Self Help Radio this week explored blankets both literal & figurative.  & almost everyone involved with the show - certainly the fellow making it, possibly the guests, & maybe the listener(s)(?) - were under blankets at the time.  Sometimes more than one blanket.  Seriously, how snug & warm was everyone during this show?  It was completely pleasant.  Zzzzzzzz.

Climb under the blankets of the show at either the KBOO website or the Self Help Radio website.  Lots of things happened on the show besides all the songs about blankets.  It's mentioned below.

Now, where was I?  Oh yeah.  Zzzzzzzz.
