Self Help Radio 010422: A Handsome Show

(My dog Winston is a handsome hound.)

It seemed appropriate for a show not known for its good looks to start the year with a handsome show.  Not fooling itself that a show about handsomeness would actually make the show itself handsome, in the same way an ugly person with a beautiful person isn't physically improved by the pairing, this week's show simply allows the handsome to be handsome.  & understands it will be never itself be so.

We have handsome guests among the handsome songs, & the usual nonsense with definitions & etymologies & what-not.  But it's handsome, you see, so it doesn't have to do much but stand there & be admired.  What a way to live!

You may listen to the show at both the show's page on the KBOO website & on the Self Help Radio website.  If you choose the latter, use SHR as a username & selfhelp as a password to access.  The songs & the interviews that happened are noted below.

You handsome devil.
