Would you describe Self Help Radio as manic? I think it's a pretty sedate show myself. Possibly even reflective? Maybe just sleepy. In any event, we thought we possessed enough of a reserved quality to take a thoughtful look this week at mania. Not just mania - manias. Like pyromania. Or manic things. We even felt comfortable enough to have a look at maniacs. Maybe comfortable is not the right word. We were in fact too lazy to turn away.
But in addition to lots of manic songs about mania & maniacs, we talked to a writer about his own experiences with mania, with a neuroscientist about the mechanics of mania, & our friend Chuck talked about films dealing with aspects of mania. It was I hope a good time. Maybe even informative. Possibly entertaining?
You can listen to the show any time you want, it's at both Self Help Radio dot net & KBOO dot fm. All the songs that were played are listed below as are the things that happened between the songs. Most of them, anyway.
