Self Help Radio 092821: Doors

One of the perils of a radio show about a subject like "doors" is that someone might think it's a show about The Doors.  It's not, although there is some The Doors content, but way more doors content.  I suppose I'd have the same trouble if I did a show about the police or perhaps even about cars.  Cars?  Or The Cars?  Oh for pete's sake!

Self Help Radio this week knocked on doors, it went through doors, it closed doors, it went around to the back door, it opened doors, it went next door, it even watched closing doors.  In the process (as you'll see below) we also spoke with a doorman, with a next-door neighbor, & with a former fan of the Doors (see! The Doors content!).  As well, our friend Chuck stopped by to talk about films with doors prominently featured.  All this & lots of music & a lot of pleas for helping KBOO in our Fall Membership Drive.  You can do so by click that link!

You can listen to the show about both the KBOO Self Help Radio page & at the Self Help Radio website (where you'll need the username SHR & the password selfhelp).  What happens on the show is below.  Don't close the door!  But do knock first.
