Self Help Radio 061521: Subways Revisited

(Original image here.*)

Three hours is a long time in the subway.  Unless you just took train after train.  To be honest, I've always kinda wanted to do that.  Like going to ride after ride at random at an amusement park.  It's terrifying when you think about how similar the lines tend to be.  & maybe even the clientele!

You can listen now at the Self Help Radio web page & at the Self Help Radio section at the KBOO web site.  All the things that happened on the show are below.  Please enjoy the ride.
