Audacious, bold, courageous, fearless, foolhardy, gutsy, impulsive, reckless - daring? Is that what Self Help Radio was this week? It certainly chose dare over truth. But that's just the kind of show it is. Or was. Just for this week. It's kind of how a theme-based radio show works.
& you know what? A theme-based show will often want nouns or noun-like parts of speech (I'm looking at you, gerunds) to be their subjects, but a single word - "dare" - that is most identified as a verb? That is a bit daring, isn't it? Oh it isn't? Well perhaps you should make your own theme-based radio show, then. & not do conventionally daring things, like risk your life for someone else, or eat too many hot wings on a podcast.
Anyhoosle, the show was three hours of songs involving dares, daring, or daring things. A primatologist talked about daring primates, we talked to an actual daredevil, & we spoke with someone who has an organization called D.A.R.E. - just not the one you're thinking about. & I had an argument with myself. Like you do on late-night radio.
You can listen now or when you dare listen at both the show's website (Self Help Radio dot net) & at the show's page on the KBOO website. What happens on the show, songs & all, is listed below. Please enjoy. I dare you.
