Self Help Radio 101221: Eggs


The photo above, of painted easter eggs, was taken by me earlier this year.  The eggs were actual eggs, uncooked, decorated by a neighbor of ours, & his children, when they were young. They're grown up & have kids - the neighbor's children I mean - so the eggs are decades old.  What was in them - they were store bought, so unfertilized - I'm talking about the eggs now - what was in them just seemed to go away without leaving the eggs spoiled.  Perhaps the paint helped.

This week's Self Help Radio is full of some gaudily painted & hopefully well-preserved eggs - well, songs about eggs, anyway - as well as lots of interviews of an eggish nature.  & mostly free range!  Books & movies about eggs, games featuring eggs, the nutritional value of eggs, & even a theater that came from eggs - the show had guests who discussed these things.

You can listen when you'd like (we really do hope it doesn't spoil) at the KBOO website or at the Self Help Radio website.  If you are using the latter link, make sure you know you need a username (try SHR) & a password (selfhelp).  The show is three hours long, so pace yourself.  Everything that happens is listed below.

& yes, I managed to make it through this whole post without a single egg pun.  You might think that makes me a good egg, but I think after all this egg content, I'm a bit shell-shocked.
