Finally, a show about that most underappreciated garment, the sock. We wear them, we often buy colorful ones we might never show to anyone, with sports logos or copyrighted characters, or we opt for cheap ones that wear out too soon but are tantalizingly inexpensive, or we are fancy & proud with our socks. Or all of these. & more! It's about damn time someone had a radio show about socks.
It might as well be Self Help Radio, then. Three hours of songs about socks as well as some surprisingly pertinent interviews with individuals well-acquainted with socks. For those who love socks, it's a show that will - confusingly - knock your socks off. We could also say the show "socks it to you," but the two uses of the word are not related. So we won't say that.
You can listen to the show any time you like at either the KBOO website or at the show's website (or both, although it'll probably be mismatched like some socks are). There is a username/password combo needed at the latter site, & those are SHR/selfhelp. What happens on the show as well as the songs played.
Hop to it! It's a show about socks!
